I'll start off with your last question. The face protection, is just an extra accessory, just like Peter Cech's headguard.
As with Create-a-Manager, one can create a manager to one's liking and give him certain characteristics. Let's say you want to create Arsene Wenger (for example).
*Preffered formation: 4-4-2 (This indicates that the team will play better under this formation)
*Nationality: France (This indicates that any French player on the field will get a boost)
*Rival: Chelsea, Man. Utd., Spurs, etc. (This indicates a better/harder performance against these teams. Not to mention tougher tackles and heated fights/arguments)
*Tranfer Target: Youth (This indicates that for every player bought below the age of, let's say 23, then the team gets a boost)
...............I think you get the idea.
Anyway, as i said b4, some of these are just ideas that i've read from others that i liked. Again, they're just ideas that i'm bringing to the table.
