Do you still have to download something off internet for this game or can u just put in a CD rom? Also, if I were to download it (how easy is this to do) on my PC can i then play it on my laptop? Or does it have to be played with internet access?

It needs patching to be playable. There are 2 patches for FM09. Both readly availible and take a few minutes to download.

Once you have the game installed and have input the verification key off the back of the manual, you don't need the DVD in the drive to play it either.

Half way through first premiership season with Leeds and we're struggling! 17th but easily beaten the teams below me so hopefully stay up!

Man City, February 6th 2011.

Won diddly zip so far , currently 3rd this year though. Finished 6th last last year and 9th the year before. So 3 years at a time at a bad rate

The game overall is excellent, the 3D format looks ok but will get better. The only slight concern is that after a bid is made for one of my players and i turn it down, the player, about 80% of the time, becomes unhappy. Which is annoying as i'd rather keep hold of them.

Current line-up:

Asenjo

Richards (c)
Barzagli
Yobo
Lescott

Arteta
Diego
Miguel Velouso
Robinho

Vela
Gomez

In terms of good signings, bought Vela way back in 08-09 for 13mil from Arsenal. Now worth 27million, although he doesn't score enough goals. Gomez signed for 23mil this season started well (scored 11 in 20), but last 6 or 7 matches hasn't scored. Asenjo, bought for 7.25mil in 08-09, been decent last few years but this year has played 21 games, Conc 10, and 13 clean sheets . Veloso and Yobo have been solid good signings.

In terms of pap signings, Arshavin, bought him mainly as a right attacking/right mid for 15mill. But did bugger all, sold him for 7mill this year. Bought Dean Ashton for 6mil, sold him on for 9mil to AC Milan. Downing for 13mil, Santa Cruz 18Mil, have been disappionting. Wasted most of my money of up and coming youngsters, who are coming along nicely.

What kind of transfer budget did you get with Man City?

I haven't played for a couple of weeks but I'm sitting mid table in the Championship with Bradford City. Wanting some mega rich dude to buy the club but the chairman is a loyal git.

You want to be careful with take overs. The new board might want to bring in their own men

Done a Hanley...In off season i've sold Carrick, Hargreaves and Evra three players who were regulars in team. To make up for it i've bought many 15-18 year olds to develop.

I sure hope i can get through season with this team...

GK. Akinfeev
DR. Diarra
DL. Srna
DC. Fazio
DC. Rodwell
MR. Ronaldo
ML. Sanchez
MC. Anderson
MC. Jose Baxter
ST. Rooney
ST. Tevez

My Defence is very weak...
