What is your manager personal data ?

Self explanatory.

So, what is your FM manager name ?

Do you use your real name, in style Xxxx Xxxxxxxx ? or all capital, to make it different from AI manager ?

Or maybe you use nickname instead ?

And do you use your real dob ? is the year (age ) correct or you simply make it older ?

And lastly, do you use your real nationality ?

I go first, I always name my FM manager in capital first order, like Xxxx Xxxxx, real dob, real age and real nationality.

Strange thread tbh but I'll answer anyways:- I always use my actual name, D.O.B and Nationality. I like my game to have my personality stamped all over it

Im all real!

I always have a made up name for the country I'm managing in, including the word 'Manager' in the surname (I'm lazy). I'm superstitious about having my own name as a manager. Lastly, I take the nationality of the country I'm in.

Italy - Andrea Managerino

France - Pierre Managerie

Germany - Horst Wessel (one of few exceptions to the rule)

Spain - Xavier Managerez

Norway - Per Olsen

UK - James King (not my real name)

Russia - Andrej Managervich

Depends on where Im managing, Im my LLM games I used my real name, real dob (well not the born year, 20 year olds cant be managers so it seems ) and real nationality.

In any games i do abroad or higher teams I choose a name from the country Im managing in ... had a few names . .. usually use ...

Joaquin Ramirez (Spanish)

Jose Gustavo Tavares Silva(Brazil/Portugal)

Simone Lucchina (Italy)

Ralf De Graff (Holland)

I'm currently being Mr Lucchina in the game im going with at the moment, before I go back to my Weston super mare LLM game, well in the prem now, but at least i feel like i can use my real name for getting the rep I wouldn't use my name going straight to say a Prem team or Europe team.

All good fun.

Before FM06, I always use the name and data of Marco Van Basten or Danielle Massaro or Arrigo Sacchi , managing AC Milan.

Have to stop since The Swan is back into the game later.

Sadly Danielle Massaro never.

I'm myself, name, country, DOB, everything.

I always use my real name (sometimes with a shortened version of my first name), DOB abd nationality.

Unless I am just running a holiday game for editing purposes, which is quite often at the moment, in which case it will be Untitled User.

Always use my real name, DOB and nationality. I've once added a 2nd nationality, but it was of no use (it was Canadian, as I have some family living over there )

all my same details

Second nationalities are annoying! Linguistic ability seems to be a barrier to getting jobs at lower level clubs when starting abroad, but because of my anal retentive nature I have to but my real second nationality (scottish), which doesn't give me a new language.

My girlfriend has dutch as a second nationality, and so gains several other languages, but never puts them to good use as she won't manage as anyone other than Middlesbrough!!

I use real dob, and an Xxxx Xxxx naming style.

Beyond that, I've been all over the map. Most commonly, I use my real first name and last initial but a different last name. Sometimes I've made up names entirely to suit the nationality I've chosen. Nationality is all over the map, sometimes my real nationality, sometimes English, sometimes other favourite nations (Dutch, Croatian, etc). I'll usually set my "second nationality" as that of the nation I'm starting my career in, if it doesn't match my first nationality.

I use my real name, DOB and Nationality. I've never seen the point in assuming an identity other than my own, but everyone plays the game different I suppose.

second nationalities - i know you get the other languages, does it to any other wonderous things other than that?

I use my real name DOB nationality, well everything. I like seeing my name when we've just won the league etc... lol

Juninho Pernambucano for my Internacional save and Henrik Larsson for my Lyon save.

I create a fictional character. Make up a name, chose a nationality which may influence where I purchase my players from. Usually start as late 30's/early 40's.

I've had managers called Jim Jury (Chimney Corner and Celtic), Ralf Loose (FC Vaduz, former manager of Liechenstein IRL), and others I can't remember including my real name.

Year flunctuates, but all the managers share my real birthday (9/3).

When I use me, I give myself Swiss nationality as this reflects that I can speak French and German.

I use my real name, real birth date and real nationality. Sometimes I add a obscure nation like East Timor, Djibouti or Turkmenistan as my 2nd nationality

Nobody has called themselves Ron Manager then?

I'm always all real, including photo [well, maybe not the ex-international footballer!]. But I do add Cambodian as 2nd nationality since I live here. Just a cosmetic touch, really.

I tend to call myself characters from favourite films. I have been:

Kaiser Soze

Donnie Darko

Tyler Durden

I make myself really obscure, with wierd nationalities (Djiboutian and Iranian) with odd names, and pictures of obscure semi-professional Irish footballers...hehe

I usually find a retired player from the team I manage and use his personal data. Of course not someone in the staff database, though.

I just figure up a random name, and then I choose obscure nationalities (suits the way of gameplay I want). Xxxx Xxxxxx style on the name too.

I use all real data most of the time, except occassionally when i make up a name to use.

Use my real name and nationality. I use my real DOB (aside from birth year)

I'm all my own:)

Except birth year, so I always end up as a 29 year old.

I use my real name, Roy Race

I usually roleplay my managers. They tend to be 27-34 year old Europeans (often with South American roots) who spent time in the Serie A as an attacking-winger whose career ended early - sometimes by injury, usually by choice.

The names are invariably flamboyant:

Nicholas Kafka (Luxembourgian)

Julian de Guiscard (French/German)

Robben van Lanstien (Dutch)

Rio Alexis (Brazilian/Swiss) - Current Game

Stefan Lazlo (Italian/Argentinian)

Art Gallagher (Irish) - Current Game

I've tried roleplaying myself several times but I actually find it harder to do.

I use all my own apart from Year of Birth as I'm too young also i sometimes sneak 'Sir' before my name

Nobody has called themselves Ron Manager then?

Guilty as charged M'Lud .

Have also used:

Ron Battersea in England/Scotland

Pierre Gaspard in France and

Triumph Paracetemol (Star Wars name = first car, last drug taken) all over the place

i always use my real name, dob and nationality.

Guilty as charged M'Lud .

Triumph Paracetemol (Star Wars name = first car, last drug taken) all over the place

I like this idea of naming, mine would be Micra Nicotine!

Most games it's just my real name, d.o.b and nationality.

However If I'm managing two clubs (or 1 club 1 Nation) then I'll have either:

José Valaréz - Spanish - same d.o.b as mine

Bill Struth - Scottish (Same data as the man himself)

Carlos Alvéra - Portugese - 42 years - Int. Footballer (Over 50 caps for portugal and a favoured personnel for porto)

I tend to use these 'other managers' purposely in a different way, as if they all have thier own personality and styles.

For instance with Alvéra I'm cocky to the press, other managers, I play alot of mind-games and have a very creative attacking style. Where-as with Struth i'm more straight-up and honest and have a defensive hunt down the ball style.

have reverted recently to just my name, but am usually Sir *my name* Snr.

DOB and Nationality always real

My mate always does Sir at the start

I like this idea of naming, mine would be Micra Nicotine!

Jazz Aspirin..

I think I'll stick to my real name.

I like this idea of naming, mine would be Micra Nicotine!

I like this idea too. Mine would be Polo Zyrtec.

Jazz Aspirin..

I think I'll stick to my real name.

Hmm. I would just end up as 'Caffine'.

Hmm. I would just end up as 'Caffine'.

Ooh, didn't think of caffiene. Still no though. :o

Pushbike Ibuprofen... I've never owned a car. :o

I would now have to change to Micra Flucoxacillin.

Whilst we are jetting off on a tangent here, what about porn star names then = first pets name, mother;'s maiden name

Meet Billy West. Billy was a budgie btw

I also use different names for different nationalities:

England= Roger Hackney

Scotland = Archie Smith

Italy = Federico Ravioli

Germany = Heinrich Dürner

I also like to use FMRTE to edit the caps/goals stat to 1 cap/3 goals. A promising superstar who scored a hattrick on his international debut before picking up a horrendous injury...

My names

Lolcaeks Rockingski

Lolcaeks Ihasgun

Ihasgun Ishoot

i use Tickle me elmo as my name

all my real data, apart from having my second language set as Russian, even though i can barely speak basic!

I use my real name and DOB (the age isn't correct as the minimum is 25 years of age)

I also use my normal first and second nationality: Belgian (first) and Ghanaian (second)
