Can You Have A Son or Sons?

I heard about this but is it possible?

And what are the chances of having a son?

Yes, has been in the game for years.

I heard about this but is it possible?

And what are the chances of having a son?

Yes its possible, I've never had one despite averaging around 40 seasons over 3-4 saves each FM.

An estimate was given by an SI member of staff last year but I can't remember if it was 1,000/1 or 10,000/1?

How do i kno if i have one and where does he be? lol

I believe they appear in the youth squad of your current club, and you'll automatically be in his favoured personnel.

I think someone worked out that they were managing in Holland when his son was born, and his birthplace was near the Portuguese team, so it's not perfect, but a really cool feature I hope to come across one day...

He'll have the same surname as you, be formed at your current clubs youth academy and have you in his favoured personnel.

This is where it comes in useful to have a really odd or uncommon surname rather than Smith or Jones.

I forgot about the whole surname thing

I guess it's pretty important

Same here, it is something I've always wanted to see in my game.

Just out of interest, what age does your manager start as? Mine always starts as my real age (29) and I'm sure that all the reports of sons I've heard have been from managers who started older than that.

Has anyone on here had a son?

I usually picked a random birthdate to start.

This is usually around 31/32 at the youngest upto around 40 at the oldest at the start of each save.

have you in his favoured personnel.

And you'll have him in your favoured personnel.

I've had old and young managers.

I've got a son in my current FC United save And he could turn out to be world class See the Youth Player Project in the CSE Forum or visit my thread in the careers forum for screenshots etc

Damn, that's my theory gone then. I guess we've both just been unlucky then.

Has anyone actually seen someone have a son with a really uncommon name though, I've seen people with son's, but imo it all seems to be a matter of when someone comes through your academy with your surname and by chance have you in their favoured personnel as well.

My son is called Marc, which isn't a rare name but the spelling of it with a "c" instead of a "k" is quite rare.

Depends on your fertility...

I'll leave now

Wrong, I proved this when I had a son come through my academy at Benfica with the surname "van der Veenstraat" (not a name, but the name of a street in Amsterdam), which can only have been derived from my manager name.

I had Dutch nationality and was managing Benfica at the time, so he came through with a Dutch name (well no Portuguese anyway) and Dutch as his second nationality. His first nationality was Portuguese, although going by his birth date, I was managing Ajax at the time, so he should really have had Dutch as his primary (and only) nationality.

Can any AI controlled personnel or players have offspring?

Don't think so.

Anyone know if you can have multiple sons? Would be cool to have twin wingers/strikers etc

HaHa NO!!!

Who are you and what season you in?

I've had old and young managers.

Both at once?

There we go, this is the one I was referring to

No it isnt. Thats how my first name is spelt. There were 3 other Marc's in my year at school. I also have a very good friend (who wasnt at the same school as me (nor in my year)) who has the same name.

Both at once?

Yes. One managing a club, one a country.

If I had a son come through and his name was Barry or something, I would disown him.

However, if I had a son come through and his name was Excelsior or Cherno, I would play him every week. And pretend to be him on a Sunday.

And I'm sure I'm not alone.

I finally had one for Liverpool. He's got rubbish stats but that doesn't matter, I could still give him a run in cups since I could play with 10 men and still win against lower league sides. Then I realised of all positions.... he was a goalkeeper.

And what are the chances of having a son?

Are you sure you're marrying a girl ?

I'll leave now....

GUTTED... Better make sure you play ur 1st team in the cups then with him in goal... Im jealous, I want a son in the game!

(giggles) 29 indeed ...yeah right mr defauge

Who are you and what season you in?

FC United, in the Premier League, in 2017/18. He came through my academy last year and has already got 2 Full Caps for England

Sorry? :confused:

The temptation to use a third party editor would take hold if this was the case, your luck to finally get one, and then hes rubbish just sucks. Blame it on the wife's genes

Has anybody had a son become a manager?

I've just had a son come through on FM. His name's Adam. He has Finnish nationality though as I'm playing in Finland with British 2nd nationality. He's also pretty good for the Finnish leagues luckily.

Can you upload a screenshot of him and how good he is. I believe and everything but i want to see how good he is.

So how many seasons does it take until the son appears? and can you have more than 1?

I want to have 2 sons, they could be like the Laudrups or the Nevilles..... Rather the Laudrups though to be fair...

There is a youth player in my team who shares the same surname and P.O.B so I effectively "adopted" him. And got onto his favourites so he looks like my son

If we're getting greedy, I'd want twins, like Ronald and Frank

so when do you get a son? what age?

so when do you get a son? what age?

It's completely random. There's no fixed age for you to have a son, you might not have one at all.

Sorry? :confused:

He thinks you're older than that. Take it as a compliment, you show maturity.

Ah right

Now where are my slippers?

Sure, here's my son Marc Great record at the tender age of 18 And he's got the potential to far exceed the ability of my leading goalscorer Bernard Brennan Looking at Brennan's history, 134 goals in 3 seasons, Marc could be absolubtly insane And 2 England Caps at 18 as well!

Thanks for the screenie

hopefully i'll get one lool

I'm still not convinced that this happens. I've been wanting a son to come through for years now, and have played many long term games in that time. Although my surname isn't that uncommon I'm always the only person in my database with that surname, and I'm yet to even see a player/staff member be created with my surname, let alone one who comes through my own academy with me as favoured personnel.

Since there has never been any conformation from SI that this is in fact in the game I think it's a myth, and cases like robzillas are just conicidence. Until I'm told officially, or I fianlly get a bloody son to appear in my own game, I won't be changing my mind.
