stam vants to make a fm guide.....to explain everyting there is to explain about the game.think about it as a walkthrough of an adventure game.these are the cahpters he would like to talk about.just keep watching fm expert section of the forum....
this is what stam had to say a long time ago when he wanted to start his project...

- Transfers (how to bid more clever, when to delay, why loan and not transfer...)
- Player Interaction and Team Happiness (how to handle unhappy players and team selection)
- Editors and Utilities (from the in-game editor to all third party ones)
- Patches and Known Bugs (how to apply a patch, major fixes and what's still bugging the game)
- Financial Management (learn to interpret the team finances and look to a richer future)
- Resources (all useful FM and football in general sites we used to make this 'book' possible)

oohh sos.
That's going to be one hell of a guide then!
lets just see who has the will-power to make it
Stam is the right man for the job :beer
Fackman - Man Utd : Stam is the right man for the job :beer


something tells me that everyone will contribue to this.if only one man will do it, than we have a better chance to release the FC Scout database till than....and i have just 9 profiles now....so the guide will be released after a very long time.
yes it should be everyone trusted on the site with large(ish) amount of knoledge.
I'm glad everyone speaks about this FM skin on this topic :O_o
FM Skin? What FM Skin?
monkeyme : FM Skin? What FM Skin?


hahaha....take a look at the title.....
yes i know... it was sarcasm.
Anyway how is this going stam, is it set for 2011 ?
It's not going at all mate, but hopefully will start working on it as soon as the FM11 demo comes out. See the updated first post.
