Thanks StuW. I was definitely wondering if using my B Team was worth it. On my game Zaragoza B doesn't have a league, even though they must create stats for the season somehow. I had a news update at the end of my first season that spoke of one of my B Team strikers breaking the goals record...

Also when you speak to the board try using the "If you don't grant this we'll be left behind by our rivals" reply. It works more often than many of the others in my experience. As for successful loans, sadly the best way is to indeed find a feeder team. Also try offering them for free as...

I'm not sure I can fully answer your question, but I've been playing for two years. I'm not sure if you will automatically have an intake of youth players. But I'm guessing that you will get an intake for sure if you have at least one scout, a youth team coach, and an assistant manager. As...

Hi everyone, I've been playing FM for two years now, and I'm currently playing FM12. I have not coached a team in La Liga until just recently. I'm playing as Zaragoza, in my second season with the team and 4th season overall fm time. I'm familiar with the use of "B" Teams as reserve...

How do you sign an emergency goalkeeper? I'm playing as West Ham and my first choice keeper, Ivan Estrada, just got injured for 10 days. I'm due to play Roma in the ECC quarter final today. My back-up keeper was a free agent who stayed on at the club, and I'm not allowed to register him for...

I've been wondering about this for awhile now. Thanks so much. What about players' potential ability possibly increasing? Is this possible? I signed a regen LB, "Stephen Maher," originally with him having a 3 start PA rating. About a month after signing him his PA was rated at 4 1/2 stars...

This is just sensationalism. If Pele did actually say exactly as he was quoted, you have to remember the man's personality. And also remember he's Brazilian and Messi is from Argentina. Of course he isn't going to admit that Messi is better than him (as a 23 yr old no less), and his quote of...

Eduardo ---------- Post added at 11:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 AM ---------- As for Artur Boruc, I did not have a lot of luck with him. His high eccentricity cost me too many points to be ignored. And this was playing as Sparta in the Eredivisie (after promotion).

I'm in my 6th season with Sparta Rotterdam at the moment. It's a good challenge. My advice for the dutch league is to play a very narrow formation. Most of the fields are narrow and wide men don't do so well. I do fairly well playing a 4-1-3-2. It's hard to attract good players to Holland...

So I'm in my fifth season with Sparta Rotterdam, comfortably climbing from mid-table this year. However, my best player and captain, Kevin Strootman, always has very poor morale. Before every match, opponents single him out as the danger man, and apparently this crushes his morale. As a...
