Imagine you are in the lowly BSP, and your Luton team manages to get to the third round of the FA Cup...and yes, you get the good tie at home to a top prem club (Villa, in this case). Firstly, why is this match not on TV? Lets be honest, everyone would love to watch it, and when you're in the...

Show some loyalty lads! FM is all about starting with some ****, and making them into a team of world beaters. Then get bored, and make a shock move to another BSP club, and repeat

The board do it. But they pretty much always pick the best games for it anyway.

Zaki is good, but not that good. He is a little bit too injury prone to give you the minimum 20 goals a season to be the 'best' premiership striker - but he's good for mid table teams.

I think Vela is perefectly suited to the role you need - you don't need to sign anyone! But if that money is really burning a hole in your pocket, Henri Saivet is a good bet for around £5-6million. He hasn't got it at the start of the game, but he has vast potential and grows quickly with some...

That is a good 11...and although you have an outstanding back 4, I would look for a holding player similar to Makelele in his prime (but obviously not him). Maybe Senna instead of Cesc?

As good as Xtremehighflyers cheeky goal is, it brings back painful memories of a certain goal once scored against Luton in the FA Cup...so sorry, but not quite. Lee's goal shows an excellent strike, which no-one is ever going to save. Worthy of Matt Taylor, so it has to be the winner.

Use some of that money to buy a rock solid defence, allowing some more creative play from your apparent wealth of attacking midfeilders. Personally, I would favour a 4-3-1-2 With SWP and VdV on the right and left, with a more defensive player in the midfielder(kompany?). I would then play messi...

Anything that involves the word million in a transfer fee is not lower league management, unless you have taken a team up the leagues - however, that is some good managing - well done.

If anyone will have him, try and flog Dean Morgan as well - his wages alone free up enough to pay for another 2 or 3 players. And try going for low value transfer-listed players - most will come, and cost you nothing. I snapped up Dean Bowditch on a free, and he is perfectly suited to league...

Surely a bit exposed defensively? As in VERY prone to counter attacks. Histon would destroy you...

Try setting one of your CM's to a more defensive mentality, with NO forward runs (bottom end of the slider). This effectively sets up a diamond, but is a bit more flexible with no gaps on the wings or through the middle...

bedford_marv, I also post on 606 under the same name, but not the outlaws. However, I did talk about this on 606, so someone could have nicked the credit for my find...

Unless his judging potential is above 16/17... BUT also bear in mind he sees the players train day in, day out, and is in charge of all the reserve and U18's games. So is more likely to be right than a scout is.

Part of my 250k made my wage budget bigger - I did spend most of it!
