gunner4eva Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 This may be a pointless thread but i have always presumed that regens are completely different for each game you play and that their names are generated from a database and their stats and everything else randomnly generated. Am i correct so far? Well that is what ive thought until now when a regen i remember from a Salzburg save appeared in my latest Arsenal save. He's a French kid who is regenerated by Saint Etienne and goes by the name of Andy Wilson. I signed him for my Salzburg team and he went on to be a legend for the club and ive just spotted him again. It is DEFINATELY the same name as i always wondered why my French regen had a very English name. Whats even more interesting is that he is a centre midfielder (like in my salzburg game) and he has the same kind of stats (good first touch, good anticipation). He even looks the damn same. Now i have either missed a huge chunk of fm09 or i have geniunely found something amazing! Mods could you confirm by queries either way? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DivineOne Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I believe he's a faceinthegame. A regen of the SI crew that are indeed in every game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtic_1967 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Probably a member of SI staff. They are set to appear as regens at random points. Try searching in game for 'faceinthegame' (without the quotes) and see if he appears on the list. If he does then thee is a good chance he is SI staff.

AbsoluteGenius Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 He hasn't appeared on my game. Maybe it's just your system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenal_2111 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Yep, Andy is a member of staff at SI. Give this a read, especially the last section; http://footballmanagerwiki.co.uk/index.php?title=Fake_Players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rougess Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 IIRC some regens that aren't faceinthegame's can appear more than once. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidBurn Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I noticed him on one of my save simply because he is French with an English name. He went to Newcastle and I thought of signing him as he had great stats but I was playing as Sunderland so would have had to pay too much. The following season he was simply not as good as my 4 strikers so I didn't bother. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misodoctakleidist Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I have seen him before too, but not my current game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCIAG Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 IIRC some regens that aren't faceinthegame's can appear more than once. The names can be the same (there are a limited number of names, after all), but they are altogether different players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

impirion Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Is there anywhere with a list of the names of the SI staff who are in the game? Just so I can buy them all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rougess Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 The names can be the same (there are a limited number of names, after all), but they are altogether different players. Fair enough, it's just that every now and then, when I've seen the same name come up (even rare ones like Aaron Mooy) I think (but really can't remember) that they've been the same position as well. Could just be coincidence... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
