Is this my son?

I have this regen in my under 19 side who has a surname almost identical to mine, also im in his favoured personel however im english and it says he is only spanish.

I reckon it is your son so long as you have an accent on the i aswell.

If he is also on your favourite personnel then I reckon he is. I think the game has him as just spanish because you are managing a spanish club and the game just assumes you were there 16 years ago iirc. If he is then congratulations

I'm sorry - he is not your son.

He has an acute accent on the i whereas yours has the "ittle".

Now I know what its' like to be Jeremy Kyle.

I was managing in Brazil and a young regen came through named Shorinho. My last name in game being SHORE I though it was a nice little touch!

I doubt so. Probably because of the fact that Martin is a common surname, both in England and in Spain.

did it turn out to be your son? if so, that's awesome

are you serious!? now that's awesome

Its either a coinsidence, and he likes you as your his manager and are helping him through the ranks at the club...

Or

He is your son, and seeing as your english and have moved to spain, they add the funny dash for pronunciation... not sure though :L

I dont think it is im afraid, i he was your son he would have both english and spanish nationalities

And his surname would be Martin, just like your own. He would only take the foreign version if you had already taken it. The most famous version would be Hans Kamper=Joan Gamper.

You can have sons in your game?!

You can have sons in your game?!

Yes you can! I have even seen AI managers get one.

e.g. Stanley Menzo - Kevin Menzo

THATS AWESOME! When was this

I'll load the game and then get back to you.

If really exist sons, they apeear in your team??? My surname is very comon in the game

Kevin spawned in 2015 at AZ Alkmaar where Stanley was managing at the time and they had each other as FP so I presume they are Kin.

It's now 2033 and Stanley has now retired and Kevin has gone into scouting.

Sons can appear in the game, as confirmed by SI.

Though they are very rare.

They will have the same name as you and you will be on their favourites list. It helps if you have a realy uncommon name or a nickname as your last name in FM as it makes it far easier to spot them and tell if they are actualy "sons" or not.

Are you denying that it is? Bastard!

Considering the chances are 1-10,000 I would just say he is, but as others say his last name is different.

also please do remeber that whilst manager of a club, it is very common knowledge that regens that enter the game from season 2 onwards may have you in their favoured personnel. I have seen that more often than not in fm2010 saved games.

Unless you are spanish then he is not your son in game

I'm not sure, did you sleep with any Women around Febuary 1996 time?

On a more serious note, i doubt he his your son as the "i" is different on his name than yours.

Rather than create a new thread...in my aldershot game I have a rather cracking player called Prince Kwarteng. He is 21 currently and is from Ghana. Now last season I had a youth player come through on the 26th processing date...a ghanian by the name of Abass Kwarteng who was born in England but has Ghanaian nationallity aswell. Are they brothers?? Prince was born and played his football in Ghana before I got him, whereas Abass was born in England. They are not on each others favoured personell list, but it seems like a big coincidence for Abass to come through with the same last name as Prince.

I would say they aren't; I had two Brazilian brothers (at least I was convinced they were...) in a FM 09 save once. The elder brother was one of the world's best strikers, while his younger brother was an awful goalkeeper. Both had each other in their respective favoured personels. And the older brother was also still present at Fluminense (I bought them as Arsenal) when the younger one came through the academy.

Both also had a rather uncommon surname (shame I do not have the screenshots anymor ) - it was a typical Brazilian surname: pretty long (think 4 'words', both players had a nickname - striker was called Ze Maria, can't remember the goalkeeper's name).

As I said, I bought Ze Maria as Arsenal manager and actually bought the very awful younger brother only because I didn't want him to retire. That would've been very likely because if Fluminense wouldn't have renewed his contract, which they probably wouldn't and certainly shouldn't have, no one would've picked him up.

Dutch manager seem to have good offspring it seems - I have Martin Everse, son of current Sparta Rotterdam manager Jan Everse, in my game. He actually is a world class defender, who also plays in a position where 'our national team' lacks some world class quality: he is a left footed central defender, who is also a natural left back.

It seems the brothers are actually from an early FM 10 save; just checked their names.

They were from Palmeiras BTW, and are both born in Sao Paulo:

- older brother: world class striker; Jose Maria Botelho Sena, known as Ze Maria

- younger brother: awful goalie; Fernando Antoni0 Botelho Sena; known as Fernando

What is also awkward, but of course not completely impossible, is that Ze Maria is white and Fernando black :S.

LOL

Now what's your theory on this ?

I am glad to see brothers are in the game, as well as sons of AI managers and not only humans. However, all these "eggs" are not happenning enough. I wouldn't want it to be common and systematic, but just a little bit more, especially for long term saves, like a "reward" for the most implicated players.

Regarding this thread. I don't think the guys from Ghana are brothers as they are not in favoured personel. Their name might be common in Ghana, and this would be a reason.

Regarding Martin, I don't think he is a son : first 2013 appears to me a bit early to see something like that : many sons would have been talked about on the forum. And the fact that we don't see the manager profile, where the son would appear as well.

LOL

just cause you dont have a footballer for a son dosent mean your shooting blanks!! Your son could be prime minister of the UK! Or are you one of those who disowns there children for not liking football

Never know maybe a grandson will come through
