    My Arsenal Team

    So I founded a club on FIFA Manager 2008. Before you all rape me, it's actually quite a good game. Great database editor, tonnes of different options, and I love the interface.

    Team Name:
    Guildford Academy
    Colours: Black and Red
    Stadium:
    The Academy (5,500)
    Star Player: Nowland
    League: Conference South

    I have a question though, what position is an ANC? I played Chelsea as my friendly fixture, and lost 10-0. Drogba with the quad. Then I played some other team in my league, and beat them 5-0. I'm playing West Ham tomorrow! Wish me luck.

    I have no idea what thatis as a Position. Could it be possible that player was away at the Arfican Nations Cup (ANC?)

    ANC isn't even a position. Probably a mess up I bet. What players are listed at this position?

    I quite FIFA Manager 08. Its just shit. I'm on FM08 now! :)

    I never found out what ANC was, I guess it was a fuck up. The guy was English, and it was a Conference South club, so it wasn't the African Nations Cup.

    I'm in my first season with Arsenal. I'll update it this sometime.

    He wanted to leave. I can't sacrifice my club's atmosphere for one bitching player.

    Fair enough i guess. Still disapointed

    Also on FM07 there was some really erratic moves. Ronaldinho went to Real madrid? Arsenal bought Bojan and Sneijder.

    Weird ay. BTW i was playing as Plymouth Argyle at the time.

    I know you can get those somewhere, but I don't remember. I can just provide badges and kits on MSN.

    I'll talk to you tomorrow.

    FM09 is going to fix the "Chelsea issue," which was actually reported by many fans. Too many players in 08 would go to teams solely based on cash offers. In reality, though most are selfish, not all of them are. Look at Del Piero for example.

    I seriously can't wait for FM09. I'm not even sure what club I want to use right now, but I think I may go with Shakhtar Donetsk, CSKA Moscow, FC Vaduz, Everton de Viña del Mar, Galway United or Dinamo Bucharest.

    Pretty pumped for FM09 myself. I had a season going with four managers. Some call that cheating, but I rarely do business between my clubs. I had Bayern Munich, Panathiniakos, Watford, and another team, but the file corrupted in the 2018 season. I tried starting another career up after that, but I couldn't get into it.

    I'll probably go with New England Revolution, Watford, Panathiniakos, and Shakhtar whenever I get my hands on FM09.

    I think I may go with Shakhtar Donetsk first actually. I'm definitely going to keep the Brazilian flavor going, but I also want to maintain a Ukrainian presence. There is also no way in hell I will ever sell captain Darijo Srna or Ilsinho. The only thing I'm concerned about is that I really won't have a lot of players to move around or bring in, which is what I usually like to do right from the get-go with poorly constructed clubs.

    [​IMG]

    Looking at the Shakhtar roster, here's what I think I'll do with my best eleven:

    GK Bohdan Shust
    RB Ilsinho
    CB Tomáš Hübschman
    CB Dmytro Chygrynskiy
    LB Răzvan Raţ
    DM Igor Duljaj
    RM Darijo Srna
    CM Konstantyn Kravchenko
    LM Jádson
    AM Fernandinho
    CF Oleksandr Hladky

    Then you have Oleksandr Kucher, Brandão, Marcelo Moreno, Luiz Adriano and Willian just to name a few. Also can't forget about great players like Jan Laštůvka and Nery Castillo who are both loaned to different FA Premier League clubs for the current season. This team is looking amazing. I think the only thing I would change with is perhaps bring in a new attacking midfielder. I've never been a huge fan of Fernandinho, despite the fact that he has established himself very well in Donetsk. Money isn't a shortage at the Ukrainian outfit so bringing in a star shouldn't be an issue. I'll definitely sell Oleksiy Hai and likely Evhen Seleznyov and Mariusz Lewandowski as well. We'll have to see.

    Thanks to all the kit makers like myself, there won't be an issue of not having officially licensed gear. Woot!

    I think I may go with a custom created kit of my own design.
