    My 35 year old CM, Zakaria Barre, who is the best ever regen I ever seen on FM has just retired from international football with France after they finished runners up in the 2032 Euros.

    He had 146 caps and 53 goals for France all from CM, it bought to an end a 16 year run with the national team, including a first cap when he was just 18 years old. And a 7 year run as captain (up until he was retired) and was VC a year before that.

    At club level, hes played 582 league games in his career, with 172 goals, 147 assists and 69 MoTM awards.

    511 of those league games have been for Liverpool, about 450 as captain, 164 of those goals been for Liverpool, 133 assists and 65 MoTM all been for Liverpool.

    In all comps in his career for us, he's played 720 games and scored 227 goals for us.

    All for a grand price of 1m, what a gem of a player he is and has been :)

    Probably into one of his last seasons with me

    Playing it off my dad's laptop, as it doesn't take 6 mins to load a match. Top of Championship after 10 games, no-one looks like challenging us. Weirdly though, some -9 potential players are being scouted as 4 stars, and our side isn't that great.

    Im getting bored of the free agents game with Arsenal, so going to start a new one, but with Hull in the Coca Cola Championship, see if I can gain promotion and then survive in the Premiership.

    Could be fun. :)

    I think -9 potential means they could be really good.

    I got to the champions league in 5 seasons with Walsall on 08. Starting from division 1. Albeit I did add 2 young guns into the team so it may not count as much :p

    The main problem I see with doing it in 09 is the availability of money and the inflated prices of decent players.

    That's the point, they should be higher than 4 star potential for a season 1 championship club.

    Ohright I see now. I thought you meant that it was too good. Maybe you've just got shit house scouts.

    This was scouting with Steve Martin on '08, 5 times with the same result. After 1-2 months, he morphs into a 20 determination, 20 ability and 20 potential scout.

    Not being sarcastic or cheating, he's a youth coach at portsmouth on 500 a week until 2010, 80K compensation at start and is 16 ability 19 potential. Will go to championship as a scout.

    Also, could someone give me some advice for my side? Going into premiership most likely and really need a new defence, CM and LM/AML.

    GK: Wayne Hennessey
    DL: Charlie Mulgrew
    DC: Neill Collins
    DC: Rob Edwards
    DR: Kevin Foley
    CM: Karl Henry
    CM: Mark Davies
    AML: Mika Aarilato
    AMC: Pablo Piatti
    AMR: Michael Kightly/Gabriel Torje
    FC: Freddy Eastwood

    Bench is normally Ward/ Preston Edwards/ Whichever AMR I don't play, Potter and Keogh. Also have Corradini and a regen coming in next window and 150K left to spend this season, plus another couple of -9s in my Reserves and Youths.

    how much $ you got to spend?

    Best bet is to pick up some loans. Song from Arsenal is ****ing gun

    Costs at least 2M and Piatti is as just as good, if not better.
