callum-douglas Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I have found in FM10 - more so than in any other version - that Ireland has emerged as a breeding ground for young regen talents that eventually flood into the English Leagues. Bohemians in particular have contributed numerous high calibre premiership players in my own game. Have people seen similiar experiences of young talent in Ireland, and do you seek to capitalise and buy them on the cheap? Makes you wonder what they must put in the water across the sea...

eldeniro Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Yeah I have noticed St. Pats producing some players who did well in the Premiership in a few seasons...but I don't think it's accurate really. I mean there has been some decent Irish players in the past but when the likes of Robbie, Dunne, Duff and Given retire we're relying on Scottish talent, McGeady and McCarthy I wish the future looked as bright for us as it did in FM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scath Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 In fairness, the team at the end of the late 80s through to 94 was astonishingly good, but the period between then and the early 2000s was fairly lean. We're a small country after all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmd1989 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I've noticed this aswell, which is why I have started loading the Irish league when starting a new game. On my Arsenal save I bought a RB for about 500k who my scouts said will become better than Sagna and a LM who had about 3.5 stars potential for about 100k, both of which were from Bohemians I think. Happy days! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scath Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I never gotten a single talented Irish player, and I always load the Irish leagues... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-douglas Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 Ha, I'm sure the good times will roll around once again. Yeah I always ship a scout out there to see what he can dig up. Let's just say its more than potatoes that's for sure! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayahr Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Since on FM09 one of the best regens came from Ireland, I always scout every youngster who is generated in Ireland. Of course, since nobody of any use was created in various saves on FM09 and 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terra21 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I got a fantastic Northern Irish MC, started at Balleymoney Utd , he went to huddersfield for a few years and I picked him up for Ajax for around £2m, he's worth almost £20m now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

baker.simon Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I have an irish friend and hes an amazing footballer lol. It really wasn't funny enough to laugh out load St Pat's, I always find nice litle talents there. Maybe they won't make the first team but I can sell them for profit.
