    Just had a look at RVP's stats in my game there. Since I've taken over:

    101 games - 76 goals :eek:

    Fairly similar to my stats, Vela averages 20 in all competitions a year too you'll be delighted to hear!

    He usually bags me around 12-15 alright.

    He's mainly restricted to sub appearances though, and even then mainly on the LW rather than up top.

    Started a new game today, decided to go with Portsmouth for a change. Got as far as december at mid table and they got taking over. You can guess what happened next, got fired as they wanted their own manager. Sickning.

    Michael Laudrup took over at Juve in one game I was playing and his first signing was his son, Mads Laudrup, whose an average player but now a regular for Juve.

    Nice to see nepotism is part of FM's AI. :D

    Agreed. Goals are pretty hard to come by, I have to set my team to Overload attacking and very fluid to get decent scorelines. I'll win with results like 4-2, the opposition having about 3 efforts on goal while I'll have 35. I really wonder what SI pay their playtesters tbh.

    What's the (****e) stuff all about in the original screenshot?

    I just won a second consecutive treble and my club's value dropped from 1.6 billion to 199 million. I have 900 million in the bank. Odd.

    AFAIK numbers have a maximum possible value and it sounds like it rolled over in your game.

    I think its a 32-bit integer but you'll have to google it for specifics

    Haha, my screenshot is it? I didn't even realise it was there until a week or two after I had posted it. I just edit the nicknames of all players I want to cut from the squad, so that I can tell at a glance how much dead wood I have at the club.

    Don't think that it's too likely in my game, I'm constantly leeching them for their savage regens ;)

    Decided to take control of Engerland for the craic, bringing them to the 2010 World Cup (obviously they were already qualified!).

    Took Rob Green, Ben Foster and David James as my goalies, purely based on form for their clubs. Rob Green started as the first choice, performing admirably between the sticks, helping me guide my team to the quarter finals. Unfortunately, poor ould Bobby got an injury which ruled him out of the rest of the World Cup.

    Disappointed though I was, Foster had been in sparkling form and I was confident he could do the job. I wasn't let down. Foster pulled off a string of saves in the semis v Spain and got us through. Fair play Ben, says I, you really helped us out of a hole. Preparing for the World Cup final, everything was going swimmingly until.....David James decides he's going to RETIRE THE NIGHT BEFORE THE WORLD CUP FINAL :eek::mad:, leaving me with one fit keeper!

    Ploughed on anyway and was 1-0 up in the final v Italy, an evenly matched contest. All the subs used up and probably about 65 minutes gone and Foster decides he's going to make my life hell by getting injured and has to come off. Step up that King among men, substitute Tom Huddlestone, who goes in goals without a whimper (i stuck him in only cos he's about 7'5 and fills the goals!). Tom performs admirably and my Engerland team hold out to win the World Cup.:D:cool:

    I swear, I almost cried!

    Hahahaha thats the best story I've ever heard hahaha brilliant

    The fact that a 27 year old player I had in my Southend team kept getting call ups and playing for his U23 National team!

    If it's for the Olympics they are allowed one or two overage players in the squad so that might explain that one.

    Dunno why I only saw this now. No it wasn't the Olympics!

    I really came in here to say that one of my players just scored a hat trick on penalties in one game and the same guy committed all 3 offenses on the opposing team didn't even get a yellow card!

    haha, my strikers all had finishing stats over 15, one was fast and one was big.

    In other news Joey Barton got the managers job at Coventry in my game, can't imagine him ever being hired in real life.

    My board went over my head and accepted a meagure enough bid of 4.2m for my star CB Ivan Vukic and in every board summary since they have "expressed disappointment at your sale of Ivan Vukic, which they see as an aberation".

    My board are a funny lot though. I made two requests 2 years apart for improved facilities (considering I'd gone from mid SerieC to strong SerieB and making some money I thought it was fair). "the board would prefer it if you spent less time in their office and more time on the training pitch" was the pointed response.

    Lyon play at OL Land. don't know if that's really that funny but at 4am after a long session I had images of a Lyon style Eurodisney and had a pretty big chuckle.
