Belgium sounds like a game I may have to start this weekend.

Apart from the Belgian leagues, which other leagues are recommended to load?

France and Holland have some of the quality players, and i've found a few of my youth players have come from Morocco as well oddly enough.

Started a new game as Doncaster out of boredom, and managed to get Lukaku, Enyeama and James McArthur all at the start of the season. Lukaku has 3 goals in 2 games already!

Just started off at the Gers.

£0 in the transfer kitty so had to get rid of a youngster to try and improve the squad. Only ended up with £800k so i got Chris Basham on loan for the year.

Cant really do much with them other than push for the SPL as we wont do much in Europe.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this guy, but sign Anderson Costa on a free transfer in 2009. I signed him for Bradford on a about 3k a week. 46 goals in League 2, 38 in League 1, 42 in Championship and 19 in premier league with 6 games to go . This guy is a goal machine and i'm really surprised no one has tried to buy him off me.

His stats don't look that good, but he's been worth it for me.

Re: Football Manager 2010 : Tue Jun 22, 2010 10:00 am  

Is he on Large data-base? I normally just play on medium as my laptop is going tits up but dont think i've ever come across him, maybe worth a punt after i win the World Cup with Belgium at a lower league game.

Re: Football Manager 2010 : Tue Jun 22, 2010 9:33 pm  

So on with the Gers. Very limited budget of £0 but adjusted to £750k which allowed me to get Basham in on loan.

3rd in the league with a 2 point gap behind the leaders.
Wins against AC Milan (in the San Siro) and Copenhagen in the CL
7-1 victory against Arbroath in the cup

So all seems to be going well with such a small squad (half of them are on loan and some injured)

Team is:

GK McGregor
RB Whittaker
LB Papac
CB Basham
CB Bougherra

CM (D) Edu
CM (S) Thompson
AML Fleck (18 y.o from reserves bagging goals for fun)
AMR Naismith

ST Boyd
ST Miller

Hopefully with bring some siverware home and progress well in the CL - will be happy with the quarters. Oh and i hope i get a new owner!

Get Fleck signed up on a long term deal his stats go crazy for a young jock Bolton West Hamteams like that seem to always sniff around.
Are you offering Boyd a new deal or letting him go on the Bosman?

Re: Football Manager 2010 : Wed Jun 23, 2010 9:46 am  

Fleck and Danny Wilson both turn into monsters usually on my games.

Re: Football Manager 2010 : Wed Jun 23, 2010 9:52 am  

Wilson has made his Scotland debut at 17 and Weir keeps complaining that he isn't getting a game internationally. 39 vs 17

Will sign Boyd up again although either one of the strikers plays well, neither of them can both perform.
Offered new deals for Wilson and Fleck at the begining of the term and got them both til 2014!

Good move just build your side around your youth now and stuff the Hoops year in year out
