garrido is better than ball.
i think £100m is too much, it makes you spend it all and unsettle the team with too many signings
Yeah...... But it is fun as hell!!!=D:yes=D
in fm handheld for psp man C have 200 mil- but its harder to buy people.
Fackman - Man Utd : Yeah...... But it is fun as hell!!!=D:yes=D
ye defiantly is!!!
rossconvey : See the thing is at the begining i dont really like the man city team so i stuggle to motivate my self in making them do well. Its wierd ive player fm/cm for years and never found this before. Maybe its because you have a 100m budget and your best LB is Michael Ball??

Just decided to play with Man City to see what all the money was like. Not as fun as other games i've played but still good. Get ripped of a lot but i guess that can be expected. Back four of Lahm, Chiellini, Richards and Santon is so so so so good. Only conceded something like 14 goals in the league in 11/12 season and not many in other comps either. Proving the same this season.

p.s sorry for taking up the whole page. please dont quote anything on this!

yes nice team, why not quote? haha
To update mine, I sold Eduardo to Inter for 25 mill and bought a 20 year old brazillian named Marquinhos for 17mill, if he's good i'll post him in best players

Just started another City game to see where this try would take me transfer money wise.
there are some really crazy high dollar transfer fees in and around season 3-4.
I think this team i have for this go round might be pretty good. any thoughts?

into october Brede has 4 goals for me from corners, hope he keeps that up. with ireland ive moved him back to center and put Wright-phillips, whom i forgot to mention as a sub out at right. i guess i will sub Ledesma in and out with Ireland. or any other ideas?

yeah hangeland is good no denying, im just not sure hes 26M good. gelson fernandes and michael johnson are also worth rotating in till you can buy someone else. fernandes especially seemed to improve a lot and was fairly consistent. obv that will vary between games and with tactics and stuff.
reading is so easy- spend all your money on mattock and you cant concede if you try.
