Can't say I could help ya Yossi, I read about ability drops, so I decided against installing it, maybe trying reverting to 8.0.1 again?
Just saw this off another forum, he got a fine...no big deal, until you see the size of the fine...
I played this CL match v Porto before....it was possibly the craziest match I've ever played
On my Liverpool game, left back was a cause for concern, Insua decided to fuck off to Spurs after I rejected Inter's approaches, fucked Inter over :smug:
Belhadj is about 31 now and tackles like a big girls blouse at times, while Mattock, despite getting his first England cap, tackles like Voronin. So I decided to give a young Portugal U21 cb/lb a go, and he's started the last 5 or so games, and I've won all of them, and he's been solid
Got Diaz Sanchez from a free on Sevilla (regen), and he's displaced a ageing Carra, Sanchez has been fucking solid as well, won young player of the month, in August, September and November so far (I'm in 1st December) so he must be doing something right,
Signing a young Mexican striker from Barca, for free, I offered no money or anything, and the board intervened saying the offer was too good to turn down :huh: Good for me, as that just about sets my striking force for the next 15 years or so :smug:
Since I'm bothered, I'll post some screenies of my players:
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, Aaron Pugh. He has been tipped as one of the best players of his generation, and he is only 16, and already good enough for League Two, which is quite good, not to mention how impressive his mental and physical stats are for a 16 year old, hopefully they skyrocket when he hit's 20+, not to mention, he is already in the England U21 squad, but yet to make a appearance for them as of yet.
Spotted Muniz as a 16 year old winger playing for Crueziro, and agreed to sign him for 325k once he turned 18, broke into the first team set up last season, and is in the first team again, is quite impressive, can use both feet as well
Signed him from Sevilla on a free, they couldn't offer him a new deal, as they are bankrupt currently, so I'm looking at their youngsters all the time, and poach the good ones from them. Made his Spain debut last month, and is hoping to make the 2014 WC squad, I think he could if he keeps up his form he's been in for us
Pretty much apart from Pugh, the only really good youngster to come from my academy, he was England U20 captain, he is currently England U21 captain, is quite a solid player, dunno if he'll become a regular for us in the future due to the number of good midfielders I have, but you never know, is a bit of a Xabi Alonso like player
Signed him from Nottingham Forest in 2010, for 2.7m, he had only ever played one senior game for them, coming on as a sub, and he became a unexpected starting player due to injuries to 4 of my 5 strikers, even netted the winner against City, went to Accrington on loan netted 15 in 46, came back and failed to find much form again, started this season well though, and always seems to dominate for England U21
My most promising midfielder, signed for 2.5m from Stuttgart, about 6 months after having bids of 10m - 20m knocked back, was fucking stoked to get him, really big wraps on him, in Germany U21 team at 17 is very good, has get range of passing and is quite solid defensively, can see him being a future captain for us.
New left back atm, signed Vitoria Sport Club in Portugal for 1.3m, played reserves last season, and I decided to give him a first team chance due to poor performances from Belhadj and Mattock, is regarded as a center back, but I'm training him as a left back, and has been solid so far to the point where he has been called up to the Portugal senior squad.
Signed him from Sampdoria on a free transfer, very promising keeper, 3rd choice at Liverpool atm, behind Reina and Bouzanis, himself, Bouzanis and Barros will be fighting for the number 1 jersey in a few years I would think. Played 3 games for Sampdoria last season, but was fairly poor, he has some good stats though, hoping he can fulfill his potential, planning on giving him some game time this season.

On the SI forums, some guy got was Man U, and beat Chelsea like 8-0, and Cech still got a 10, it's a bug I believe.I've just lost FA Cup final 2-1 to Arsenal.
But my goalkeeper get a rating of 10.
Anyone have got rating of 10?
I might post the screenshot later.

In that post? Or how far in the game I am?
Also, I'm on holidays so it doesn't matter

They changed the 'learning curve' thingy so younger players don't get so good so early.

Just started a new career with Liverpool. Im hoping this career will be the long haul for myself. Ive dived straight into the transfer market eventually signing Ricardo Quaresma (£13m) and Rafinha (£11m).
Ive also been poaching a couple of 16-17 year olds abroad such as Younousse Sankhare from Paris Saint Germain, who is a defensive midfielder. Also on the verge of signing Brian Sarmiento, an attacking midfielder off of Racing Santander.
I'm looking to adopt the 'Rafa' style 4-4-1-1 formation...
-----------------Torres------------------
-----------------------------------------
-----------------Gerrard-----------------
-----------------------------------------
-Babel-------------------------Quaresma-
-------------Masch----Alonso------------
-----------------------------------------
-Aurelio------Agger----Carra------Rafinha-
------------------------------------------
-------------------Reina------------------
Any suggestions on where I should make improvements to the Liverpool side?
Oh and Rafa, whats your current squad look like with Liverpool?

Loopy about Lupoli
WHAT!? Even the best 19 or 20-year-olds on the game were crap.
And Rafa, I once had a 15-year-old regen keeper through my system and was a decent signing signing for a Serie B side back then.

Here is my current squad in January '08. A partnership of Aguero & Torres I managed to nab Aguero for £20.5million, which could eventually rise to £23million depending on appearances.
Anyway, Ive recently accepted an offer of £8m for Peter Crouch, who hasn't been bad for me this season but the offer was too good to turn down. Any suggestions of a big target man who would do a similar job as Crouch who would be happy to play second fiddle to Torres and Aguero? :huh:

Nikola Zigic (Valencia) will do fine I think.
I think he's not too old, maybe 24 - 27 years old on your game.

Copy the config line of another player and change around the unique id to your current one, and put your picture in the same folder, if that makes sense.
