:huh:
What in the hell has happened there?
It's like that for the whole team.
:lol: I've had similar things as the Criscito bid before, where the other club has asked me for millions upon millions.
Never seen the thing or similar where Rooney goes to Beijing. Did they all go there, or different clubs?
Beijing the club :lol:

Apparently the whole team played for Beijing.
There definitely must be something wrong, as England are top of the FIFA World Rankings. :shifty:
:lol:
Thought I'd post a few pictures I've saved from a few games.
I absolutely dominated Inter in this match, they got frustrated and started kicking out at my players. I lost the return leg 2-1 at the Bridge. :realmad:
After a few seasons in the league, West Brom become a real force, climbing their way to UEFA Cup glory, and now find themselves Champions League regulars.
hmy:
SI wishing me an happy birthday, a day early...:lol:
In a different game, I tried to buy John Terry, and Chelsea negotiated to £207 million :no:
Sevilla thought they'd be clever, and try to get me to swap Dimitar Berbatov and pay 600k for Diego Capel. I ended up buying out his £10million release clause.
A thrilling game between two rivals, this victory clinched me the title
In my England, Italy and Spain game, Barcelona produce an unbeaten season in the first year. No cheating at all. They've started season two exactly the same.
I ended up selling Higuain as Real to Sevilla who are building quite some team, for a staggering £18million with a buy back, and a percentage of next sale :erm:
A result I picked up when looking through the competitions previous results.

I've built what is probably my best ever squad. I'm going into my third season with Man Utd now and have so much depth it's become frighteningly easy.
This is my squad, (starting eleven marked out)
Igor Akinfeev: Starting goalkeeper now, bought him for £18.5m in January of my second season. He has been superb and should hold the No.1 shirt for many, many years.
Wes Brown: In the first season he went under my radar a bit and I was looking to sign Dani Alves, as a replacement, before I realised he had the 5th highest average rating of any player in the league.
Patrice Evra: Very consistent, doesn't seem to miss many games unless I rest him.
Rio Ferdinand: I made him captain at the start of the second season and he has been brilliant, played 37 and 38 games in the first and second season respectively.
Nemanja Vidic: Has better ratings than Rio but that's down to the fact he has netted about 15 goals in the past two seasons.
Cristiano Ronaldo: Has been very injury prone so I've not got the best out of him yet, still managed to get into double figures in both seasons despite playing less than 30 games in both.
Frank Ribery: Can't really say much about him yet, missed 6 months thanks to a broken leg, was bought for £25m though so hopefully he will get a lot more playing time this season.
Alberto Zapater: My best signing, bar none. £7m thanks to his release clause and he has been my best performer since he joined.
Anderson: Really stepped up into Scholes' shoes, could do with scoring more goals but he had a pass completion rate of 88% last season only behind Alberto Zapater and Cesc Fabregas.
Wayne Rooney: First season was quite dissapointing, he got 20 goals but only managed an average rating of 7.03 for the season. Second season he got 19 goals but performances were much better and he weighed in with 21 assists.
Sergio Aguero: Bought for £35m at the start of the second season and bagged 28 goals in 34 league games. Superb.
Ben Foster: I started my second season with him and VDS but neither really had the quality I needed in goal which led to me getting Akinfeev, decent enough backup though.
Possebon: Played in a few league cup and CL games in the first two seasons, decided to give him the backup spot at right back after Gary Neville was put in the reserves. Freekicks and Corners are both 20 which could come in handy.
Marcelo: Absolute steal at £5.5m, plays most European games and will probably take Evra's place in the coming years.
Jonny Evans: Stats are quite poor in comparison to my other centre backs but his ratings are superb.
Miguel Veloso: Just moved for £20m, will play backup to Rio and Vidic but will end up getting a lot of games as he's too good to waste.
Nani: Been quite frustating as he clearly has talent but has been injured a lot, will hopefully have a very good season.
Abdou Razack Traore: His stats are ridiculously good, expecting big things from him this season.
Owen Hargreaves: Had to choose between him and Carrick to replace before the third season, he survived thanks to his goalscoring record.
Javi Martinez: £19.25m is a lot for a backup player but he's only 20 and should keep improving, has replaced Carrick for the 3rd/4th choice central midfielder.
Klass Jan Huntelaar: Great player to have as a 3rd choice striker, plays more than any other of my backup players as his record is excellent.
Aquino: Sold Carlos Tevez for £15m as he was wasted as 4th choice striker, Aquino is 18 and has 8 goals in 5 games for the Spanish U21 side, won't play a lot but shouldn't be bothered as he's young.

They didn't tweak any stats man. The stats was from the 8.0.2 patch. It's scheduled for release this Friday.
