[Réiteoir]

It's out tomorrow - with eircom League goodestness included.

If anyone wants club logos and a superb kit pack for all of the eL clubs (including all away kits) that myself and a friend of mine created - PM me and I'll send you them on.

[gustavo]

i hope the sligo rovers squad is up to date this time for once and doesnt contain players that havent played for us for 5 years:(

[superfrank]

Any idea what it retails at?

A shop? :confused: :D ;)

[sligoman]

A shop? :confused: :D ;)I think he means how much does it cost;)

[RonnieB]

The postman is delivering it here in 20 minutes ;)

Oh and 39:99 delivered From play.com

[Galwayexile]

so did u get the game this morning from play.com

[RonnieB]

I didnt order it from play tbh. I aquired it elsewhere for the moment but will be placing my order today. Only had 10 minutes playing it last night seems great as always.

[shakermaker1982]

it's alrite but you need to download the new patch. Bugs everywhere.......how ****e is that?

[ccfcman]

its to be expected and most people patch up their versions :/

having bought it and being massively disappointed by it, i revert yet again to cm 01/02 where i am in about 2116 :)

I truely began to dislike the cm franchise and indeed fm after cm4 , the game died for me, it went waaaay to realistically indepth, the way 01/02 runs is just right imo

[Gareth]

Curious, I sent a tons of stats, who is mentioned under the irish stats credits in the manual? :) Any of us. I know a few helped out?

[Réiteoir]

You're listed in the credits list in the game

[gustavo]

can any1 put up a screenshot of the Sligo Rovers squad?

[Gareth]

Thansk Reilteoir, my dream is complete. To run my fav football teams website and to get mentioned in a book :) hehe

[sligoman]

Enjoy! (http://www.fmunited.net/harchester/)

Enjoy! (http://www.fmunited.net/harchester/)

sad :p

by the way, all the logos and kits and player pics for the eL still work on fm06 as well as on fm05

[sligoman]

sad :pDont call me sad. I haven't downloaded it, I just found that and decided to post it for people who like Dream Team;) :p

[GavinZac]

Dont call me sad. I haven't downloaded it, I just found that and decided to post it for people who like Dream Team;) :p

they're already in the game, all you have to do is go into the editor and change their league registration to whatever you want.

by the way, sign denis behan, i may have embellished his stats

[Stevo Da Gull]

I used to use CM4 but the disk cracked and now I'm back to using championship manager 00/01. I tried cm5 but did'nt like it. My computer is a Dell windows xp dimension 2350 bla bla bla so I'm hoping that FM2006 would work on it.
Do ye all recomend this game yeah? ,cheers

[The Stars]

ya id recommend it.it should work fine on your PC as it is windows XP.

[gustavo]

this is probably the third time ive asked but can some1 post up a screen shot of the Sligo Rovers squad!

[Stevo Da Gull]

I'm prety sure that the game was bought for me today as a Christmas present:) I cant f****n wait that long:eek:


Any luck Gustavo;)

[superfrank]

*******!! I'll lend you CM4 for it??

[Stevo Da Gull]

*******!! I'll lend you CM4 for it??

Ehhhh ...... NO:D

[Hulsey]

I'm prety sure that the game was bought for me today as a Christmas present:) I cant f****n wait that long:eek:

Franco and Pat Hannigan are havin a storming season for me in Fm2006. Franco's hit 23 goals in 27 games and Hannigans kept 8 clean sheets. Bray in 3rd position behind Shels and Bohs. Cork are 6th:D .

[shedite]

Anyone got any top players to sign for in FM06? Just started with City. Broke the bank to sign Zayed coz Fenn and Behan are rubbish in it.

WHY is Tony Tynan always Cork City's best player???

[Gareth]

I signed Zayed from Bray and Youba from Charlton. Gamble came to me on a free and I got a class Brazilian called Inigo. I did get offers accepted on bigger players but none came. I am into my second season and failed to get group stage in Europe. I think you need to get group stages to get the big players. Gary O'Neill is very good. I got offers for Wes, Crowe and I sold Crawley :)

[Dyl10]

Anyone got any top players to sign for in FM06?


Stephan bradley should be potentially the best in the league! I made him that way ;)

[EnDai]

Stephan bradley should be potentially the best in the league! I made him that way ;)
Joey Ndo is the best player in the league, but not the most consistent. I made him that way ;)

[Gareth]

I cant get joey on a contract, no work permit

[Raheny Red]

Got the game just there off the gf. I had do to with FM2005 the past few months!! :rolleyes:

Anyway I'll get stuck into it tomorrow and try and make up where Shels went wrong!! :o :p

[EnDai]

Madness! Nothing to do with me.... :D (Seriously!)

[Raheny Red]

Joey Ndo is a hero so far for me, 7 goals in 10 games, so I went to renew his contract as there were 18 months left and I wanted him on a 5 year deal!!
Then I'm told this cannot be done!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

Is there anything in the game or the editor so you can get Joey to sign and have no worries about work permits???

[Gareth]

Joey went out of contract and then hung round for a bit month to month. I couldn't play him so I eventually offloaded him. He retired shortly after. I did sign a lad with Bohs at the time, Luke Rodgers who is playing a stormer with me. As well as Matthew Yeates I think it is. My current starting 11 and subs are:

Delaney

Heary Hawkins L'Estrange Dillion

Finnan Hoolahan

Yeates

Zayed Rodgers J.Byrne


Subs: Fitzpatrick, Gamble, O'Neill, Rogers, Williams, Two Brazilians I cant pronounce.

Basically anyone could start. They are all good enough to. Fitzer is stunning. A Goal machine.

[Raheny Red]

My current starting 11 and subs are:

Williams (has been in the best premier XI for the past 6 games)

Heary Fearnando Nino Hawkins Fleming

Ndo Houlihan McManaman Moore

Byrne Fitzer

SUbs:

Sandvliet
O'neill
Crowe
Delanly
Babangida

[Gareth]

Raheny do you play properly or edit teams etc?

[Raheny Red]

I play properly!!

I don't see the point in editing a game (it doesn't feel the same:rolleyes: ).

It is possible to get Mcmanaman, Nino, and Babangida at the very start of the first eL season as they are all out of contract.

McManaman and Nino are decent but Babangida is nothing to shout about (terrible signing to be honest!)

[Gareth]

I turned Roy Keane down. I tried to sign him and he agreed but he was 37 and I really didn't see him in my plans. I have signed Timlin too. I have a number of Ireland Internationals. None are regular starters for the Ireland team. I have a reputation now that I get offered international managers jobs and some lower Premiership team manager jobs. I refuse them. I have won the league three years in a row but lost out to Bohemians and Drogs last year!!! This season 15 out of 15 so far!!!

[Raheny Red]

What year are you in??

I'm only started in my first season and things are going smoothly!!

It easy to get good young players on loan from top european clubs??

[Gareth]

I am into season 2008 or 2009. Pat Fenlon is manager of Bury. Ireland still have Kerr at the helm.

[Raheny Red]

Just won my first cup as the Shelbourne manager. 4-2 win over Linfield ;) ;) :cool:

[The Stars]

Im the manager of Chelski in one of m games and signed Kevin Doyle for the laugh.He was worth 130,000 but i gave them 1 million.WHAT A PLAYER. Scores every game he plays and is worth 5 million now....SIGN HIM

[superfrank]

Finally got to play the game yesterday with SDG. I think it's hard to get the grasp of. It's a lot more in-depth then CM4.

[gustavo]

is it worth getting if you already have FM2005

[Raheny Red]

That is the question. There is no great difference in the game imho. A few nice extras to make it more realistic. But if you can find it some where cheapish in the January sales then defo buy it!!

[Raheny Red]

Just finished my first season in FM2006!

Won the Setanta and the league (on Goal Difference:cool )
Got to the Semi finals in both the league cup and the FAI cup :o

Qualified for the 2nd qualfying round of Champ's league to be knocked out by Macabi Haifa. (Learned a lesson from this - Williams was injured after 13 mins, no sub GK_ step forward Davy "Brian Flood" Rogers) Wasn't quite as good as Brian Flood and lost 3-0. Over 2 legs lost 4-2 :o

[EnDai]

Haha, top class! :)

[Raheny Red]

I'm getting ready for the new season tonight - recent signings of Stig Tofting and Youri Djorkeff have been doing well in pre-season games....oh I can't wait!

How do you take a screen shot of the table in FM 2006????????????:confused:
