iggyiggy Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I remember seeing some tv programme back in day showing alan smith and his leeds youth team mates all playing champ man in their rooms. Wonder if he or any other pros play nowadays in their spare time. Sure beats gambling their hard earned down the ****er . i know the old stories about coaches and managers using it to find potential players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zwarte Dood Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 If I was a real life top manager I would demand from my players to play FM every day for at least an hour. Just to give them a bit more tactical insight and for getting to know the opposition and their players. And... To let them experience how difficult your job actually is and how hard it is to keep them all happy ;-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nielsb Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I don't think that because they buy someone that is a top youngster on FM means they play it. They're that good on FM as a result of showing potential in RL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
