ya they can't be trusted fully
they said the same thing about deisler when i got him on a free transfer
most of his technical stats are good, mentally and physically not bad as well....i'm like screw whatever the coaches say
and he's been doing well as a squad player

sometimes ur assistant manager can be wrong... like Cesar Carignano dubbed the next Hernan Crespo... Baltemar Brito say the fella useless but now Carignano doing very well in both training n on the field, score more goals than Torres... I wanna sack Brito but board always dont allow him to go.. i find him useless... oredi sack 1 coach last season, this season wanna get rid of the rest of the ori bunch

My Arjen Robben ... or Ayam Robber

Ai... now I suffering leh for my Man Utd. Grab EPL and CPL on my 1st season. Now planningt to replace the aging midfields. Want to buy Messi but Messi that cilaka asking for 90k/week, so my 1st target out. Looking for a cheaper but still a long run quality for Giggs.

Luckily manage to grab the argentinians from Corinthians. And now looking for another long run replacement for Van de Sar. Target the CSKA Moscow's Akinfeev but cannot get. Dont really think that I should spend 20m on a keeper @@

Vincent Kompany pulak kena rampas by Chelsea with 15m @#$@#$$% The price really crazy, I bet no one will pay that price for him in RL, only in game. Havent really think about replacing Scholes already got so many problems *sigh* Think I better prove myself by grabbing all the cups on 2nd season to prove who's the boss.

Btw, Messi and Akinfeev really worth the buy if you are rich. Both's PA is 190+. @@ Btw, anyone has come across any other 190+ player (except Rooney and C. Ronaldo)

what is PA?

Replace:

1. Van Der Sar : Francisco Ochoa (my future Petr Cech)
2. Defenders: Heitinga or Deschacht (comes cheap w/ good stats)
3. Midfields: Messi, Sneijder, Manuel Blasi (first season faster buy from Juve else his stats drop like brick from sky at At.Madrid/Sevilla)
4. Strikers: Tevez (b4 Madrid buys him), Tardelli, Carignano - this guy is cheap, dubbed as the next hernan crespo, wait one season b4 bidding for him.

potential ability if i'm not mistaken
every player has a current ability and potential ability rating
u can use the editor to check actually
i haven't tried coz i feel it spoils the fun

Ochoa not bad, PA 181 or 182. But still prefer on Akinfeev (PA 191 and only 19 on 2005 !! 20m+ definitely worth it) because Ochoa is a Brazilian, have to waste one non-EU for him.

Not sure on the defenders though. Messi is definately a good buy, another youngster with PA 190+. But I have trouble landing Messi because he want a 90k/week contract :\ Sneijder not a bad alternative for Scholes. Havent come across on Blasi before.

Tevez is another good buy, PA 190+ IIRC. Havent come across on others before. If got the money to spend, I recommend Podolski, again, another youngster with PA 190+.

So far not much players that with 190+ though, I only know that Buffon, Akinfeev, Rooney, C Ronaldo, R Ferdinand (somewhere there), Podolski, Messi, and Tevez.

eh, Ochoa is Mexican, mind you
about goalkeepers, better get De Sanctis, Kim Young Kwang (hot prospect!), Craig Gordon, or the one and only Marcos . but preferably get Marcos, he's the best among the best although I don't have him in my game..

try Vagner Love for a striker, or Fred, since my squad almost have a full Brazilian side and i'm Brazilian manager too, so mainly I go for most of the Brazilians, and i know, i'm having a DAMN HARD TIME in Champions League, regret purchasing tons of Brazilian, just to find out that you need 6 home grown players

PA differs from game to game, so better judge de players urself.... yea, too many brazillians can b bad sumtimes..... i got a few in my barca team & during de coppa, i gotta say bye bye to them...

who have the cheating training file?

i went to the previous website to download, but their server down d......

can anyone nice enuff to send me the file?

^ training also wanna cheat? sap sap sui thing lar, buy all the good coaches from other team lar

lol, TheNameX, never trust the scout...

hahahha,they are the iddiots in FM
they say adu have no future,guarin sux, and many stupid comment
where the irony is adu and guarin is 2 of the best player in the game!

when someone wanted to buy my c.ronaldo,they say i shhould sell him,he has no future in my club where ronaldo have the highest average rating in my team,2nd highest assist

so can you trust them? trust yourself,you are the manager,so make your own decission,never ask them
i never sign a scout also,and never trust them even they have the highest rating

That's why I seldom buy non-EU, unless they have secondary personalities and they are really worth the buy.

PA will be differ only for those less known youngster especially the reserves team. For those famous player they are always the same when you have the USE REAL PLAYER option ticked.

I have it, got it from SI forum though. Havent use it, seems like it is a very powerful training program but I'm not sure what's the effect of using it ?? Mind to tell ??

Ya, never trust those morons again. I now use editor to check myself is better.

scouts are useless, bluff thingy of the game... Carignano no future but now top scorer in EPL for his first season... RVN and my Torres also lose to him.. Manuel Blasi is the main topic for my game now, first season I cant get him, his stats was awesome, till he moved to Sevilla or At. Madrid i forgot, his stats dropped like crap now train back to normal

can FM06 be playing in network or LAN? anyone hav try it?

Yupe. You can even play through internet. But I believe it will be a bit boring since the date can only continue after everyone have finished their work. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Some talents i found from other forums:

1. Marcos Arouca da Silva
2. Stefano Chuka Okaka (reluctant to leave Roma)
3. Valeri Bojinov (work permit problem)
4. Betinho
5. Cesar Carignano
6. Lukas Podolski (everyone knows)
7. Rafael Sobis
8. Fred (hard to get)
9. Franck Ribery
10. Oddbjorn Skartun
11. Per Egil Flo
12. Celsinho

Guys I hope we can all share togther so that we can make things easy for us all. This is what i can manage to list it so far. For FM 2006 only (6.0.2) latest version. I hope yu can improve more of my discovery by adding more good players.

Please add in TQ. Hope this help

Akinfeev is midfielder ?? @@ I thought he is keeper ?? Btw, I do hope nobody will list down those really lesser known youngster, because their stat and PA will be randomized during you create a new game. Might be good for you but they might be fringe player to others.

A rule of thumb when buying some cheap and lesser known player, make sure the name is suggested more than 2 times by different people.
