Anyway, I thought I'd list some players I thought were wonderful in the game, I'm sure some of them have been mentioned before but I couldn't be arsed reading 300 posts.

Rafael Van Der Vaart: Without question, becomes the best midfield playmaker in the game, the guy gets an astonishing amount of assists and 20/30 yard goals for me, you could probably get him in the first season for about 15-20 million, definitely worth the cost.

Vagner Love: I'm sure he's been mentioned, but for 8 million, you will not find a better striker than him anywhere, I had him with Villa, and I've just found enough money to get him with Wigan, and he smashes the goals in for both clubs, I think in one season with Villa he got 37 in the PL.

Eddie Johnson: Costs about 2 million, which is unreal value. He's only really good for lower teams at the start of the game (I got him for Wigan), but his pace and finishing are insane. He got me 40 goals in his first season, and if he's trained right, he becomes a brilliant player. In my 2nd season, he's already worth 9 million.

Mika Aaritalo: Without doubt, the best value player in the game. Costs about 100k at the start, he's now worth 12 million for my Wigan team. Gets a huge amount of assists and constantly improves. A great winger.

Rafinha: Right back, costs about 10 million, but becomes by far the best RB in the game, great as a winger aswell, if you want that. Might not be able to get him til the 2nd season, due to work permits.

Breno: Great young wonderkid defender, only about 2 million, already in my Wigan first team, and keeps getting better.

Curtis Davies: He starts out on loan to Villa, and I ended up paying the 8 million for him, becomes one of the games best defenders, easily.

There's loads more, but they're my pick, I've played a game as Stevenage aswell and got to League 1, I'll list a few really good players to get for a conference side aswell in a bit.

In every game i've played, Man Utd always play Fletcher in the first team, he's actually better than Carrick and Hargreaves in it.

In my game Sevilla rates Fletcher, sold him to them. Should have negotiated and included Daniel Alves in the deal with top-up on their side of course

Yea but only in the current season. Not in their histories. European and Cup games should count as well. They are not friendlies.

No sign of Manucho anywhere?

MufcAgs23 · 9th February 2008, 20:49

Yeah, Johnson is brilliant. Have him in my United team in 2012 and he is great!

I negotiated with Lyon for Benzema in August 09 and included Saha in a deal plus 70mill, they negotiated 70mill + Kieran Lee (Who was transfer listed)

Kieran Lee is now the starting left back at Lyon. Grosso went to Napoli.

You know if you get an update or whatever you call it, does it do all the transfers and stuff?

Yes. The latest update has all the january transfer deals, plus it fixes any problems there were with the game

Wonder Pigeon · 16th February 2008, 22:28

Hmm, it's just that I'm looking to update it for the sake of the Irish league, and given that we have a new team and different method of promotion/relegation this year, I REALLY don't want to just go through editor.

Would you say they've it done for the Eircom League? And could you give me a link?

I don't really follow the eircom league despite being irish, but this page (http://community.sigames.com/eve/for...8912012743/p/4) shows some more informed people's complaints about the eircom league in the latest update, it should be able to tell you what they have changed about the league. You may have to become a member to read it, i'm not sure.

here is a link to the update anyway depending on how you choose to download:

I had a blackburn game going where after 5 years i had done the quadruple. problem is my pc went tits up and i had to reformat, lost everything, i fancied an easier ride to glory so went for inter.
