Harryseaess Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Should-Have-Been United is a team I created (along with the help of forum members in this thread), the team replaces Hull City in the Premiership. The team consists of players that were hyped up to be very good in the future but never reached their potential. All of the players have high PA's but their CA's have stayed the same (except for a few players who have had their CA changed). All players have also been given 20 in adaptability, sportsmanship, temperment, determination and professionalism so that the players will hopefully reach their potential. The media predict the team to finish 11th in the first season. The stadium capacity and the clubs finances have also been increased. The leagues that are loaded are English Coca Cola League 2 and above, Italy Serie B and above, Spain Liga Adelante and above. Aim The aim is to try and make these players into the players that they were hyped up to be and see if you can win the league and other major competitions using only them. Rules Only one real rule and that is that you should not but or sell and players, bringing in staff is fine but all the orginal players should be kept and no new players should be brought in. All players are on contracts until the end of 2014/15 season and all of the players loyalties are set to 20 which means they are unlikely to leave. The Squad (PA's) Goalkeepers: Wright (-9), Foster (175), Schmeichel (-10) Defenders: Srhoj (-9), Hanstveit (-9), Boumsong (175), Roque Junior (180), Boulahrouz (180), Vanden Borre (175), Richards (185), Ferdinand (-9), Taylor (-9), Bale (-9) Midfielders: Greening (-9), Djemba Djemba (-9), Kleberson (-10), Svard (-9), Vernazza (-9), Veron (190) Attacking Midfielders: Adu (180), Lulinha (180), Celsinho (-10), Opabunmi (-9), Pennant (175), Le Tallec (-9), Wright Phillips (-9), Denilson (190), Chadwick (-9), D'Alessandro (185), Jose Antonio Reyes (180) Strikers: Samba (-10), Jeffers (180), Ameobi (-9), Aliadiere (-10), Maccarone (-9), Portiollo (-9), Adriano (190), Kerlon (-10), Rafael Sobis (-10), Nii Lamptey (-10) Dowload the game here - http://www.filefront.com/15197521/Should-Have-Been%20United.fm Simply retire me as manager and add yourself in as manager. Good luck if you decide to give this a go . I will update this thread quite often to let you all know how I am getting on with the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harryseaess Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 Yeah, good point, so what I will make all of the players 18 but I will need some in-put on what to have their PA's as (I will leave their CA's the same). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackemforever Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 The one, the only, Cherno Samba. Was hailed pretty much as the future god (at least by FM fans) but turned out to be utter *****. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
naspa Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 David Bentley - still too young? Javier Portillo - broke Raul's scoring records at youth level Kompany - not te best defender as he supposed to be Andres D'Alessandro - another "Maradona" who didn't make it in Europe Jermaine Pennant - flopped at Arsenal, Liverpool Jeremie Aliadiere - Clairefontaine academy's best along Henry and Anelka; or maybe not? Landon Donovan - not that good in Europe is he? Cherno Samba - still in the game! Fm that is! Mido - not good enough at too many teams;i guess too much flair(read "unexpected") for managers Denilson - one time world's most expensive player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harryseaess Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 Good list of players here guys, cheers. Just could do with people reccomending what PA's they should have please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tameeris Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Carlos Alberto, who is out on loan to Vasco iirc. He did such a great first season at Porto, sigh Adu as you mentioned. Adriano. Celsinho, by the age of 16 he was being followed by some top teams. Bruno Moraes, everybody thought he was going to be a top player, after all "Mourinho picked him". Denilson world's biggest flop? Djalminha (too old?). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisandro Lopez Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Better have Lulinha there as-well. What was wrong with Djalminha tameeris, he was awesome in his day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tameeris Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Yeah, but I don't think he really lived up to expectations... if it wasn't for his off-pitch behaviour he could of done so much more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veg Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Richard WrightDavid N'Gog maybe? Theo Walcott maybe? Ryan Babel maybe? x Except Richard Wright I think the others are too young to finnally judge. The same goes with Adu. My suggestion is: Jonathan Greening Dennis Oliech, supposed to be the new African superstar some years ago. Erlend Hanstveit, once touted as one of the most promising defenders in Europe. Adam Hardy, was supposed to be the biggest prospect in Australia since Kewell. Wayne Srhoj according to Beckenbauer (in 99) he was supposed to be the best holding mid in the world. Jay Lucas touted as the next Viduka after u-17 world cup in 2001. Anthony Le Tallec and Florent Sinama-Pongolle, they were supposed to be world beaters. Femi Opabunmi, after u-17 world cup in 2001 and World cup 2002 he was supposed to be the greates Nigerian ever. Collins Brown, supposed to be the new Amokachi befor he was injuried before the 2001 u-17 world cup Kelechi Osunwa, after u-17 world cup 2001 he attrected interest from Valencia and Barca, but a greedy agent stopped moves, now playing in Sudan Soga Sambo, was supposed to be the new Amunike after u-17 world cup in 2001 and u-20 in 2005 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harryseaess Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 Right, here is the squad so far: Obviously, I need 1 or 2 more keepers, quite a few defenders, quite a few midfielders. Also, I need to get rid of quite a lot of stikers (would like 5 in the squad at most) and a few AM's (would also like 5 in the squad at most). If you guys could help cut some players out and add some players in the positions that I need then that would be great. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidnv Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Macauley Chrisantus, was one of the players of the U-19 world cup in 2008 i think. Maybe still a little too young though. Oscar Ustari for keeper? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
