richy279 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Not too sure if it's a strange going-on regarding the fixtures, as it's happened in real life before, but it's the first time I've come across it on FM.

Freakiie Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Yeah the international stuff tends to get pretty weird. On my save Ghana were #1 in the world for quite a while. Now I got England on 2 (which is quite surprising if you look at the team they got now ), Ukraine on 3, Chile on 5 and South Africa on 10, while a team like Egypt which are usually top 10 thanks to winning the african cup over and over dropped down to 46th place, while having the best striker in the world who has scored 47 goals in 40 matches Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
