Player History -> Achievements (in cups)

It's a pity, that still in FM 09 supposing that a team has won for instance, a UEFA cup there is something like this that only the players put up in the final 18 (11+7 subs) which could even not been used in a match has an entry as UEFA cup winner in his achievements, while other who played in this competition in previous stages/matches but due to some reasons could not been involved - does not have this...

I know it's a detail, but in reality, the whole team gets medals in the finals of CL, UEFA and so on...

in FM 09 this I think does not apply to league awards, like winning the premiership (all players has this achievement in their history), but in the cups it is IMHO messed up...

how it is in reality? isn't the player put up as a sub in at least 1 match in a cup capable of naming himself (from the theoretical point of view) as a cup winner (supposing that his team wins the cup)

I'm sure there's rules IRL. IIRC in the CL each team only gets 25 medals; for the 18 players and 7 for the club to distribute.

I think the rules vary for different competitions. Im not sure about medals for UEFA/Champions League but i do know that in the Premiership you need to have made 10 appearances (start or sub) to claim a medal! IIRC in real life this happened to David Batty who missed out on a medal when Leeds won the old Div 1 and also missed out at Blackburn due to injury. I stand corrected if im wrong mind

You have to play a certain number of games to be able to recieve one of the medals, in the premiership i think its lik 15 games, but the clubs do only get 25 to share between the squad.

It's 10 games in the Prem.

I beat you too it lol

in the champions league afaik you have to be one of the 25 squad members - which is why roy keane has a winners medal, even though he missed the final due to injury (And so does the reserve keeper, although he didnt play a single minute)

so if in CL are 25 medals - for all of the players assigned to this competition at the start of each season + max.3 available changes in Februrary the game still interprets this issue badly (except the Premiership, because here I can observe that the rule of minimum 10 apps is OK! (glad SI!)) - I'm playing MU, won the CL, and Van Der Sar was handling all the group matches, then he picked up a 5 month injury, so I had to use Kuszczak (quarter-finals, semi-finals and a final) as I had no other GK assigned to CL squad (in the 25 places);

of course VDS was not present on a bench in the final and he does not have an achievement of winning CL :-(

that was my point...

that was my point...

which is wrong.

unless you un-registered him at christmas, which would then, infact be correct.

I have not un-registered him at Christmas.... (or after, because the change is in January/February as fas as I remember)
