Yeah I'm Swindon. On cm4 I pretty much released the entire squad except for Parkin on frees in the first year and brought in completely new players. Didn't need to be as drastic on football manager 'cos the team's not so bad to start with.
I brought in nine players last year ajnd there was probably at least another 50 that I tried to bring in and couldn't, I've already tried to bring in 7 for the new season including Freddy Adu, 5 of them are on frees but they're all worth at least a million.

in cm4 danny invincible was awesome as a striker! i got adu in cm4 then sold him to spurs for 80m + 50% sell on clause. they were in financial trouble half a year later so i bought him back for 6m.
i can't wait to play FM now my exams are over

I've not played the new one enough to find out if Adu is any good.
I always (and i do mean always) buy Lebohang Mokoena. Bloody marvellous.

Adu is good on FM but not god like. I've got him at Swindon in the championship and he's averaged 7.70 in 12 games so far.
Worth £3.3m and being capped by the yanks already at 17. He's worth getting when 16 for £500k compo as I'm sure I'm gonna be able to sell him for £10m + in a couple of seasons time

I play with a Small Database so good (unkown) foreigners are almost impossible to come accross, and on FM my scouts have always been fucking shit (found one player that I've signed and he never became a regular).

Most successful formation ever was on 01/02 with Real Madrid, dont know how it came about, but basically I wanted all my players up the pitch as far as posible, whilst remaining as tight as possible.
Goalie (obviously)
1 Defender in the centre (preferably defender/sweeper sort)
4 Defensive midfielders in a flat four arrangement (the two central ones were actually defenders, eg Rio, or Walter Samuel, the two 'wing-backs' defensive midfielders with a good cross, naturally bombing up and down the wings)
1 solid midfielder in the centre (eg, Van Bommel)
3 attacing midfielders tight in the centre, with the one in the middle playing a free role, the two just outside him running forward as much as possible.
Finally 1 strong striker holding the ball up (eg. Vieri)
This foramtion never conceded more than 20 goals in a season, and scored a shed load. Amazed it actually worked, but my reasoning was correct, and justified - hurray for me!
