Oh wait...

Trebs you said you are Norwich in your third season on FIFA! What is your starting team??

On my Norwich career (I play the level below Legendary) I got Wilbraham to score 21 goals in the Prem

Do own goals count now?

Not a lot of the real Norwich side in there, plenty on the bench though

I just can't believe he managed to hit the target 21 times! He is pretty awful on FIFA

I'm playing World Class level on FIFA 12, got my Man City team with loads of money, won the Premier League and League Cup in first season, currently 3rd in League but top of my Champions League group after 4 games.

Yeah I must admit I overhauled the Norwich squad after two seasons on FIFA. Squad players aren't exactly amazing!

He's pretty awful in real life

I'm on be a pro at the moment, just started as a midfielder and weighing up whether to ditch West Ham at the end of the season and play in a team that passes to me without having to call for the ball every five seconds.

Jack Cork and Fox, both Southampton boys.

Got a few youngsters out on loan, Valoti and Ben Amos, hoping they develop into big players in my team as Sorensen's retiring at the end of the season and I want to sell Jarvis for a lot of money.

Is Fifa 12 good then, I bought it, played for about a week and got bored so traded it in. It's about £25 in a few places now though.

I must say I was surprised by him last season. He was sort of a comedy sub, so bad it was funny. But he actually made a solid impact in most games, sometimes he actually changed the game . I guess some Premier League defenders aren't really used to a striker who just pressures them all the time, and is very good at hold up play to be fair. He does have a god awful finish though

dont do manager mode that much, prefer to stick to ulimate team

Jack Cork, is he still on Chelsea's books or officially a Soton player now?

I did the same but now I just play my mates copy

It seems like it's a grower and I reckon I packed in too early

Southampton signed him last season Gregers

Cheers Olly must have missed that. Good player

It probably appeared he had changed the game because the opposition defence was left crumpled in heaps on the floor, laughing.

I have played as Leeds since the beginning. Waiting to get the Man Utd job. Sir Alex must be near 80 now.....

They probably saw him coming on and dropped there game. Relaxed sort of. He was our wildcard, our joker in the pack if you will. Every club has one

On my FM 2012 Norwich season, I am in 2017 and Steve Kean is the Man Utd manager

You think that's bad, Andre Villas-Boas is still at Chelsea in 2013

My word. Were they relegated?

Stuart Pearce won the 2014 World Cup with England and then went to Chelsea and failed on mine.

Then for some reason England appointed a succession of nobodies who kept losing and leaving.

All while I cleaned up the scene with Liverpool

No but my Norwich team is now finishing in the Top 4 and they ain't

Never played FM. Is it any good? (And is Thorgan > Eden?)

TSC wrote:Never played FM. Is it any good? (And is Thorgan > Eden?)

FM is quality I think. I like to play it when I have some free time. And Eden is immense on FM.

TSC wrote:Never played FM. Is it any good? (And is Thorgan > Eden?)

Eden says that Thorgan is the better of the two

It's ok, but I go through phases of interest. If things don't go well immediately I mysteriously lose interest...

Thorgan >>>> Eden in reality.

We're basing it on names, right?

Reminds me of the 'sick haircut' theory

FM is this league, without the bitchiness, and every other team is controlled by a computer.

Currently on my fm save (I'm sunderland):

City - Laurent Blanc
United - Pep Guardiola
Arsenal - Raul
Chelsea - Roberto Mancini
Spurs - Michael Laudrup
Liverpool - Rafa Benitez
Everton - David Moyes

I'm playing as Dortmund TSC, the transfer budget is shocking (less than 2m), but I know Reus is joining next season as is Kovacic for some reason. Currently about to face City in the Champions League semi after beating Chelsea 7-4 in the quarters.

So, from all of that, I guess it's very realistic(?)

There is still bitchiness, I got in to some real bitch wars with Louis Van Gaal and then Marcelo Bielsa. I always used to say that I'd never heard of them in interviews.

'Sickness' of haircut seemed to be solely down to the decision of one man though, admittedly that appears to be the only flaw.

This is my Norwich team in 2017:

I play the 4-4-2 diamond

GK - Luis Guilherme
RB - Kyle Walker
CB - Ryan Bennett
CB - Danny Wilson
LB - Neil Taylor
CDM - Joe Allen
RM - Alex Oxlade Chamberlain
LM - Domain Bertrand (French wonderkid - generated player)
CAM - Christian Eriksen (he is amazing on FM)
ST - Jay Rodriguez (scores over 20 goals a season in the Prem)
ST - Antonio Romero (Argentinian wonderkid)

I have a squad full of young stars, who all have potential. I like to keep it young, as the players don't get too angry when they aren't played. The 4-4-2 diamond works amazing, I score loads of goals, but do leak a few.

I might try that in here, who's this Afro fella people have been talking about?

Marky wrote:FM is this league, without the bitchiness, and every other team is controlled by a computer.

I had never said anything against Sir Alex and he slated me in a press interview. So I called him a geriatric. Also I just constantly slag off the Ipswich manager

I tried playing football manager, couldn't get into it. I prefer negotiations with real people.

Also, been doing some thinking, would anybody be up for a realistic league using the premier league? Have 16 teams, cut the three promoted sides and one other team out as it makes cup running easier and easier to get all the managers in. Some of the teams like United, City would want a title win, whilst some of the lower teams like Norwich would see it as an achievement to avoid relegation. Fifteen week seasons, and at the end of each bottom three are relegated, top four get into CL, next four into EL and bottom eight into FA Cup. First season everyone is in FA Cup, no Europe.

That might get you in to some bother...

I think the issue with that type of league OTW is that with such a disparity between top and bottom then it swiftly becomes a glass ceiling for many.

That would be class! But I want Norwich, and will only participate if I get them
