    European Champions Cup Team Registration Issue - Porto

    I'm playing Porto first season, the team has no home grown players and only 4 players home grown in Portugal which means that I can only register 21 players. The U20 rule states that players under the age of 20 on August 1, 2011 don't need to be registered. I have 2 players aged 18 in the team...

    Fredy Guarin - Good CM - Not a bank breaker

    I searched for threads about this guy, the only one was in 2005 and it didn't say much, so thought I'd share. Not a world class player, but a good player who isn't expensive and would be a good backup in a top team or a starter in a middle of the table team in major leagues, however he is...

    Has anyone ever done a club overhaul before, I've signed 8 new players for my AC Milan squad at the start of the second season. Also, how does the team respond to such changes, I'm replaced a lot of key players, as well as the tactic employed.

    Roberto Carlos - Excellent signing despite the age

    I know we all tend to look for young talents, but sometimes an old one is good for a couple of years, and is cheaper, so is a worth-while short-term investment, particularly if we're strapped for cash.
