Regen Siblings

In real life, some players have their siblings also in the game (for example, Neville brothers) but I've never seen that in my game. I think it'd be good to have, I know it doesn't happen very often but you know, it'd be cool to have that. What do you think?

Ive got two players born a year or so apart in my youth team with the same surname. Their from different places though.

On FM2009 I signed a player from abroad, and a year later his brother appeared in my youth team.

I created my own sons on my fm database and on the editor made them 100% on favoured personal. So i guess you could say thier siblings. I know its irelivent.

Different mother, same "traveler" father.

At the start of my current season (2023/24) two Paul Clark's appeared in my U18 squad. It appears they are not related tho.

In my save I saw one regen appear at Sydney FC who was Aussie and Greek, Bolton signed him. The year after a player with the same last name and nationality appeared in the Bolton youth setup, not as good as his brother though.

Can't think of a parent who would name their two children the same.

George Foreman has five sons, all called George Edward Foreman, and one of his daughters is called Georgetta.

Yeah, but he's an idiot

A bit of a superiority complex, anyone?

Yeah, but he's an idiot

He's a frighteningly insane man.

Hey my grandad did. But what the heck he had 18 children

Yeah, but he's an idiot

Haha, I just have this voice in my head of a cocky person saying those exact words now.

I had two argentinian regens with the same surname, but as far as I know they're not siblings.

They can't be, look at the birthdates.

Cousins would be more likely.

I've had Norman and Andy McLaughlin on an FM09 saves. The second came two years after the first. Didn't have each other in favored personell though.

I'm pretty sure it's all down to the random name generator.

In my game on FM10, Liverpool bought Romelu Lukaku during the first season, in the beginning of the 3rd season, a regen called Patrizio Lukaku appears in their Youth Team. I assume they are relative since the uniqe surname and the fact that they have each other as favoured personnel. Besides they are both Belgium/Congo nationalities...

does happen ... you could have two sons as manager , making them brothers?

They are certainly bro's

I've seen Jari Dalla Valle and something Welbeck posted on here.

Welbeck was white

I've also seen a regen son of Ferguson's, who had Darren as a brother obv.

Basically, It doesn't say whether a player is a sibling of another player but if they have the same surname and both have each other in their favoured personnel then they should be related.Just like if you get a son in the game.

I liked to see a screenshot of the carizzo brothers personal page.

Anyway, I think SI should introduce a thing on each players personal page saying whether their realted to any other football players, coaches, managers or staff.SI wouldn't have to spend much time on it because as I said they would have each other as their favoured personnel.

Great Idea

I agree. I have been wanting to say that for some time know. There should be some sort of relative favoured personal.

I too concur. I also don't think it would be too hard to implement and it would be nice to know 100% one way or another whether someone is your son in the game, etc.

I'm pretty sure they're not brothers, since they don't have each other under favoured personnel, were born in different places and I bought them from different clubs. I assume maybe they're cousins, or it is just the random name generator picking the same name twice, though i'm not sure.

i have a mexican regen on my save with the surname Dos Santos and he has jonathan dos santos as favourite personnel and has brazil as a second nationality the same as jonathan, although he doesnt have spanish as nationality, but maybe hes a regen brother or something?

I don't think there are enough regen siblings in the game... I for one have never seen one, and there are quite a few players who have proffessional siblings:

Toure's, Da Silva's, Drogba's brother players in France, the Russian twins.

And there have been other famous ones in the past:

De Boer's, Laudrups, Charltons etc.

And it's not exclusive to players: The Lewin's (Colin and Gary) are brothers.

And there's a fair few cousins about: Le Tallec and Sinama-Pongolle, Lampard and Redknapp etc etc.

I too would like to see a 'relatives' section under 'personal' section.

You missed off the Nevilles! Also, there are the Sodje brothers, Efe, Sam, Akpo (I think) and the other one.

Yep, I've seen them...

My wonderkid centrehalf and some very very very average fullback. You'd be hating it if you were him. I'm going to give him the best chance he has, but I don't think the younger brother will ever make it in the top flight.

What about the Mpenza and Riise brothers?

WHAT?!? Your son? It's a football management game!

Hmm. What about them exactly?

Clearly you have missed the threads about having a son in the game then!

It DOES happen, I have had a son come through the youth ranks in my game in FM08. Plenty of people have had it happen in FM09 and FM10 aswell. Check this forum, you will see quite a big thread about it.

It probably doesn't happen enough in game

Last season, we had two sets of brothers in our squad

Tommy and Danny Rowe

Anthony and Danny Pilkington

And that's just one team. We now have one left from each set.

What about the twins from man utd. Rafael and Fabio

It seems so. What an enormously superfluous feature.

I had two regens in my youth academy that were brothers, two years apart. The Kinsella brothers from Navan, Ireland. They both moved on (funnily enough, one went to Fulham and the other to QPR) and became upper Championship/lower Premiership players and featured exclusively for RoI.

Thankfully for you it only has a less than 1% chance of happening in your game, so it shouldn't bother you.

had a couple of kids come through in my Liverpool game with the same surname and home town (Kingston-Upon-Themes) a few years apart with each other as fav personnel.

One is regarded as the next Michael Owen (bit scared there) and the other is dubbed the next Les Ferdinand (also a bit scared)!

They are both still in my U18s and are actually a decent combination upfront together, hope they can make it through to my senior squad, don't like their chances though, only 1 player from my youth now plays with the big boys for Liverpool a RB who rotates with 2 others. Do have about 15 former youth players at other EPL clubs though.

I signed a 30 something Macaluso in one of my saves, a year later I got a regen with same last name. They wern't from the same area, and had about 15 years difference between them, so I called them cousins.
