I did that two years ago with City just to prove a point. Didn't spend a single oil barrel and still managed to challenge for first:

Fake edit: Beaten.
Jay Spearing woz robbed.
This is why I'm assuming this was a while ago, like the Great Gareth Bale Mystery of 2011. There's no way that his performances after Christmas deserve best young player.

My attack in the fantasy CL: Messi (C), Gomez, Cavani

What happens on FM when you make it past 15 or so years and a load of the players have retired? Does it recycle them as youth players with lower stats?
I still consider Man Utd the favorites to advance, they have the experience in this situations.
What...?
Every year it auto-generates new players. Those then live on with their careers. Retired players are retired and becomes coaches or retire completely. I usually quit around 2022-2025 since all IRL players have retired by then.
Existing players are usually replaced with "Regens". Some have similar stats to their original counterparts but everything about them get mixed about. So, you might find a player similar to Messi later on in the game, but with different personality or nationality even.

Premier League managers hate Yakubu, poor Yak
If Tony V is fit enough to hammer down the line and bang crosses in, that will help. Young looks in adequate form (but who really knows); I don't know who except Tony is going to do a job for us from the right. Unless he sticks Welbeck on that wing again. Which might not be stupid.
Cleverley getting time in midfield is important. I'm not just saying that because I <3 him.
what's he's describing is close to how it use to work (hence the term 'regen' is still used to game generated players, even though the appropriate term now is 'newgen').
e: scum's post explains the old system, but that's not how it works now.

Which Premier League manager has impressed you the most this season?
1. Brendan Rodgers 47%
2. Paul Lambert 40%
3. Roberto Mancini 6%
4. Steve Kean 6%
So 6% is one vote, I wonder who would vote for Kean

I was surprised that Nani didn't travel, I didn't hear anthing about injury, but Scholes and Valencia are on the list.
SAF feels sorry for him. Or at least said he did.
Yeah, Nani got a bruise in training. Which sounds pathetic, but I assume it's a badly corked thigh or something.
dschalter's right. I was on about the old ways. :lol
Best time to carry on. I still remember one of my old saves from FM2010, where I ended up well into 2050 and on. Until the game save died and I couldn't recover it. Was fun watching Scotland beat France in a World Cup Final, R. Madrid paying £87m for a very talented player from Leeds and Liverpool getting relegated. :lol

vidic gets injured and all the managers forget he exists
the poll would seem to indicate that this is based on the season.

Is there any chance Tony V is going to be fit? Did he travel?

I am staggered that Tony Pulis resisted the temptation to propose himself or his assembly of legbreaking twats.
Good sign of a pro: his twitter is boring as fuck.
Yes. Travelled. Yes, apparently fit. I think a repeat of the Welbz Wing Experiment is on the cards, though. And Smalling over Raf.
i thought that but the best player questions are the only ones that don't mention this season, though that could be the fault of the reporting as it does seem like the entire survey is about this season.
I have one save where Mancini takes over United after Ferguson retires, Hudgson takes the empty seat at City, Wenger is replaced by Laudrup and Ancelotti gets back to Chelsea. It was both amusing and terrifying at the same time.
Damn straight son. I'd say as a whole, we've done the best transfer business in the league. Not often you sign at least 4 players and in their first season they get off to a flyer. Cabaye, Ba, Santon and Cisse, more specifically. Marveaux's shown talent but is obviously out for a while. Rob Eliott is just lol.
But best young player for Jones? Eh... Kyle Walker and Daniel Sturridge would be my picks.
I wouldn't put Suarez in the same category as those other strikers (Aguero, Rooney, Ba, Van Persie), he's a nice tricky player who, as we saw last night, can create a goal or two; but as far as finishing goes he's nowhere near those players. He's a great player for us, and I'm not trying to dispel his influence on the team, but he's not much of a goal scorer.
Not consistently anyway, he's got some special things in his locker, for example Stoke Carling Cup.

Hey YOU, time for a clash tonight. Semi-final NextGen, is Liverpool any good with their youth team? Can't wait for the match, even if it is just the youth.
I'd be tempted to dock him a few percentage points for missing that penalty >.>
Cavani will assassinate Chelsea tonight.
If I was to buy any football shirt other than a City one it would have to be Napoli with Lavezzi on it or something. I don't know why, I just like the shirt.
Buzzing for the Next Gen. Our youth team is quality, Wisdom, Morgan and Sterling are quality players. We've got some decent flair players like Suso and Tony Silva who can produce a bit of magic out of nothing (although they can go through games a bit quiet). And then we've got a bit of ruggedness in the likes of Coady.
Speaking of Coady, he's our captain and I really like the lad but I feel for him being a tall, lanky, scouse central midfielder born and playing in the Gerrard era. Spearing dodges the comparisons in a way because of his height and style, but Coady's a much more similar player to Gerrard in that regard.
I still think you'll give us a good game, don't really know much about your team but I've learned to fear the Ajax youth setup.
There are a lot of promising players in the squad. I know they rested some of the players last Saturday and still managed to win 3-1. Should be an entertaining match. Would love to go and see the match. Only £5 to get in and there are still tickets available.

IN MY MOUTH

Just one. Langtree Park.
FA Cup.
Not if Chelsea can get 3 which I can see them getting.
Bearing in mind I have no idea who's fit for Chelsea and who isn't, this team should be able to score 3 in my eyes:
Mata
Drogba
Sturridge
Ramires
Meireles
Essien
Back 5
I have faith in them.
the good clubs are still competing in the FA Cup.
