ArsenalFan7 Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Has anyone else reached the year 2018 and found that the average age of a player is 30? Not to mention there is hardly any good regens Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hershie Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Not really, no. Lots of brilliant regens in saves I've had, and squads that more or less seem the same as now. Teams like Chelsea and Man Utd don't exactly have young first teams now, do they? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArsenalFan7 Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 That's true. Think I'll try and play as Arsenal for a bit... It kinda bugs me trying to let go of my \/illa save because the days and nights over the holiday I've spent on it... That save could literally be seen as my holiday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hershie Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 This team are ****ing hopeless right now. 3-0 home loss to Almeria sends us to 21st. I need tactical inspiration. Help? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArsenalFan7 Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Would you consider it cheating to edit a players PA to what your opinion of it is? It's just players like Fran Merida... I couldn't help but notice how his PA doesn't reflect what I think he could potentially do Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
likeabawss Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I would say it's cheating. I think that potentially Hines and Collison are a lot better than they are rated in the game, but I haven't changed anything. I'll just let West Ham's magnificent youth academy develop people better than them. Anyways, Merida, what exactly has he shown (besides coming out of Barca's academy) that would make you think that he deserves a PA increase? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArsenalFan7 Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I'm not sure. I reckon though that this kid has ability and with the right mentality he can become big. But anyway I didn't go ahead with it. At the minute I'm continuosly making new games until I get players with good PA's.... Mario Balotelli never seems to get a good PA though God these forums die in the early hours lately... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
likeabawss Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Heh, it's 11:13 PM here. Messi has really become absolutely useless for me. You never see any of his great ability when I play him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeeman27bob Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I hope Dafuge won't tell me off for posting this in here, but my excuse is that I'm thinking of posting this in here at some point. The situation I'm currently the manager of Getafe in November 2012. I spent two years (or so) at Argentina before moving to Getafe in about November of last year. I saved them for relegation, and have promised a top half finish this season, which I could achieve. However, Rafa Benitez has just been sacked, with Liverpool sitting in 18th. I'm actually a Liverpool fan, and so have had a couple of starts with them. So really what I'm asking is: Do I stay at Getafe, and try and make them into a real strong team, or do I jump ship and go and try and save Liverpool? I should add, that the finances at Liverpool are still bad, but things aren't brilliant at Getafe either with a low club value. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
