Commons, McCourt, McGinn, Maloney, Forrest. 5 out and out Wingers. I personally don't know if he'd have done that well at Rangers, Wingers tend to suffer there due to the style of play. (see Fleck, Beasley, Lafferty, Rothen et al). As for Celtic & Rangers going for the same players, don't Man...

Celtic FC, 2014/15: Original Database, no DB Edits. 4-4-2 Diamond GK- I. Akinfeev DR- J. Asurmendi (Regen) DL- G. Bale DC- M. Muniesa DC- N. Soussi DMC- M. Crosas MR- S. Ninis ML- A. Di Maria AMC- R. Van Der Vaart/Lourival/Feruz FC- P. Skuletic FC- Neymar x6 SPL, Scottish FA Cup, League Cup x4...

+1 I always think it's best for those 3 extra spots to include an Att. Mid. that can play MORE than 1 position. A Defender who can cover DC & possibly a Wing-Back slot, and obviously a Young FC, just in case you get desperate. If you're struggling to narrow it down to 25, imagine a 22-Man...

I've a few regens. in my squad, mostly in my Reserves/Youths. Best one i've got, and he was bought:

From the original database with no edits (Skuletic never actually joined Celtic, pity really!) Aiming at keeping him long enough to break Goalscoring Record for the Club, he's a way to go for that though :-) As for Neymar, 'nuff said! The guy doesn't score as many but his Assists mean he's a...

That was one **** of a read (the entire Thread!) but well worth the time spent. Absolute class so far. Having just won a 4th consecutive CL myself i'm thinking of something a tad different. Leagues such as Israel, South Africa, Sweden etc seem to be calling me. Excellent work though, and a...

Ruud Van Nistelrooy and his incredible first Season at Celtic ;-)

Depends if you WANT to replace him? Kroos & De Rossi sounds like a grand Midfield, but Cesc generally fails whenever i've had him, don't know why. The only time he was any good was FM08 in my Newcastle team, I played him as DMC and he played cracking. Kept Veloso out of the team for quite a...

FM08: Wayne Rooney £60m Cristiano Ronaldo £65m Bought both in the space of a few days in the Jan. Transfer Window for Newcastle (about 6 Seasons in). Both were fantastic signings. Come the Summer window, I signed Fabregas for £40m too. The most incredible team i've ever built, god I miss that...

Hey all, I've been searching for the best part of 2 hours for a shortlist of players for the Blue Square Premier. I've just started a new game with York City and i've never managed below League 2 (with Bradford City) so i'm a wee bit stumped on where to look. I've already spotted a few via the...

Hibs are a good challenge, I tried on the SPL1/2 Database, was rather fun and managed to finish 2pts behind Celtic in the first Season ;-)

Around 15-20 League games, but it will be around 30 if that includes Europa League & Carling Cup. Everton are great first Season, once players recover from injury of course ;-)

I find it a much bigger challenge since this was introduced. Try picking Arsenal/Liverpool now ;-) In all fairness, most clubs have plenty of Home-Grown Talent, but most are way off the first team. I had to drop Beckham from my Celtic CL Squad in Season 2 as I needed 1 extra spot for a...

You could always integrate them into your first team squad? Might give you the option of selling older players, raising a few funds and bringing your Youth Players through a wee bit quicker? The only other solution I can think of is sending them to a Feeder Club (provided you're getting a new...

Try Increase your Wage Budget, if it doesn't change the Transfer Budget, it could well be Monthly Installments. Personally, unless i'm desperately poor, I refuse to use Monthly Installments.
