I only ever managed to hit 6 years with Arsenal on FM08. Won 6 EPL titles, 6 champions league, 5 Community shields, 6 FA cups, 6 League cups, Euro vase, World cup (once with brazil) and some more I can't even remember. I'll post of screenshot or smth...
This message is for people playing FM. You should buy Mbaye Niang who plays for Caen. He is 16, and even though he is quite expensive (15 million€) he will become as good as Messi. You should loan him out for a couple of years and then play him regularly. He is a poacher with clinical finishing and is sensational. I am on my 4th year of FM 2012 and he are his stats for my team: 27 games played 24 goals 13 assists 1 yellow card 1 red card (that was controversial) Mom 14 times
His stats for France over his whole career: 13 games played 16 goals 2 assists Mom 5 times
Niang for 15 mil? What? Lol. I buy him for 2 million each time I restart the game (yes, different saves each time). City is a pain in the butt as they always go after him and Sanogo. You sure overpaid for him man
Okay.... Just went in and checked. Apologies Chelsearules99. My bad. I was looking at Lenny Nangis, who is also from Caen. Rises to 3 and a half stars, and is quite a good player as well, especially for the outlay
Spurs for me. Facilities are currently poor, but work going on on both training and youth training for next year. Coaches have all been fired and re-hired to atleast have 4 star (cannot attract 5 star ones yet). Just managed to sign Cavani for 32 million after selling VDV for 23 million to City in the first season winter window (2nd in the league so far). Me gusta
One cannot have enough young strikers! Lol. Niang, Sanogo, Fierro and Coulibally, all with me. Of course, not everyone will remain, but I can sell one or two a few years down the line at a better price than what I got him for. Need to find some good 16-17 year old defenders though. Struggling there. My current defenders are all moving out of the u-18 zone, and my u-18 league is struggling to finish on top as a result. Any suggestions?
I've got an epic striker that's come in from the youth team so I'm developing him as well.
Romario was a cheap buy for me and I bought him as an understudy for Sagna. He's a really promising right back; one of those wonderkids. I trained him so he can play left and right. Since I'm in my 3rd year as Manager, I buy newgens since some of them have got great potential
City is doing really badly in my saves for some reason. Mancini is almost always under the hammer, and well.... I don't make it easy on him when I'm asked Also, Arsenal has been realistic in starting slow and then really progressing quickly. You guys always sign Andre Ayew when I don't, and he always does well
Yeah magneto, city are always f****d up somehow. . I was also surprised that some of there stars wanted to leave too, like david silva and augero. Ahah FM funnies

Advice: Players from Brazil play very well but are extremily expensive. If you sign Neymar, ask him who to sign and he'll recommend Ganso, then sign Ganso, it will help the relationship beetween you and him(Neymar) and it will help both of them integrate
Lol I signed Neymar but Ganso was snapped up by Man City and they're unwilling to sell him to me. Ah well, I don't care anyway since Neymars being epic
Wellington silva should be easy, a dn if you had the Spanish league loaded, then he would be getting game time, and thus higher chance of WP acceptance.
Fierro is a better player, but his story is different

I currently have 2 stable saves, Arsenal version, and a PSG version. I have finished my 3rd season in arsenal with a massive treble, carling cup win, won the EPL unbeaten. Yup invincibles again, and a 1st time champions league title
Same for my psg save, were I'm starting 3rd season, and just won the ligue 1 title and Europa league
I'm curious as to what you do when you win everything? I basically try and sell off my players and get younger ones (Wenger style), or move to another league
Well for my arsenal save, I just use both wenger style of signing youth, as well as signing some big names. And in my arsenal save, I'm planing to stay there forever
As for my psg save, it a journey man save, where I become a manager that goes to different clubs and play
Nah, Lucas Moura was the cheapest at 24million. Costa cost clost to 30mill. Neymar was nearly 40mill. Bought Neymar in my 1st season. Costa in my 2nd and Moura for my 4th
Heh nice. By the time I noticed him his priced had rocketed up. Its like my players atm. Domenico Criscito is worth 33mill in my game atm o_O and he's a defender. Neymar is worth more than Messi at 36 mill
Hehe yea I tend to do the same but I didn't play newer FM games until 2011 and by the time I started getting into it 2012 came out. The only epic player I had was Varane and in 2012 Real Madrid had taken him T_T
You may remember me telling you how bad barnetta was. Well, in just 13 games this season, he already has 6 goals, 3x more than last season in 43 games :0
Key to every players success is they way you play them. I had barrenta in my psg save, as was a good buy. Then arsenal came along and bought in for double the amount when I brought him. Profit win !
Per Merts, arteta, and maybe RVP plus some reserve players that will be out of contract. Not so sure about rvp, but in the 3rd season, he just got 5 goals. He wasn't injured a lot, but never got the goal when ever I play him
Having a bit of a torrid time at Southampton in FM. I've just asked the board to give me more time becuase I am a rookie manager and thankfully they accepted. I'm in 19th out of 24 in the Championship. Shocking
