Also isn't LMA doing the EL this year? Anyone got that?

I always thought that the players in FM and CM before it had a tendancy to be overvalued if anything! How often do you actually see a 20k transfer in this league?

Dublin City have been removed. Eleven teams left in the eL, with no replacement. I haven't finished my first season yet, so I don't know if there will only be 9 teams in the first division in my second season or if a junior side will get promoted.

Players are valued at much lower prices in the new game. In fm 2006 I boought a GK (Chris Snow) from Ballinamallard Utd for about 1k, and within six months I'd sold him for a million to a championship side. This will not happen in fm 07.

Player stats for the eL 1st division (I'm Galway) seem to be a lot lower than last season. Much more realistic game imo.

If I buy it the my relationship could be in trouble, too damn addictive, better keep away from it, some good enhancements i hear, feeder clubs etc, could benefit with loans in from english clubs.

But how could they pick the other team? And it could well happen that the division is played with 9 teams, it was when St Francis left the league.

Hi All

Has anyone on here got any info on this game....whens it going to be released? What teams are gona be in the "FAI Premiership"? What team has replaced Dublin City in the game? Does any1 know if the players are undervalued and underated as usual?!

Thanks in advance

Nope they are fairly spot on in regards to value and stats BUT i have always beleived them to be, theres no Dub City and every team is correct with couple of youths and full reserve teams.

Also every shop that has was allowed to break the street date so its out now.

Guys - if you want the correct club and competition logos for the game - then I've set up a site and am creating them as I go along - with the aim of covering most if not all the major and League sides in the game.

Knew it was you on the SI forums! Downloaded your nation packs. Eagerly anticipating the full club packs too. Any intention to do player photos?

Cheers for the effort.

Not yet - although I may do a LoI pack when I've finished the logos / got some spare time

Who do you post as on the SIForums?

Ha. I wish. Think he was just a great young keeper. I gave him as an example to show how unreal FM 06 transfers were. Never would you get someone paying £1 mil to Galway for a goalkeeper who'd made a handful of first team starts (he was only 17 aswell iirc). Think they offered me 20k and i somehow bargained them up to the cool mill i got for him.

I hated the money. It made me feel dirty. Now I can wallow in financial turmoil without an easy way out. Beautiful. How the game was meant to be played.

Here's the sligo squad. (http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/812/sligonm2.png) Sorry bout the delay - didn't want to boot the game up cos I knew I'd be hooked into it. Sligo are currently 9th in the league after about 11 games.

Bear in mind I'm playing on a normal database. There may well be more real youth players using the large db. Don't blame the researchers. I'm sure most fans haven't the foggiest who is in either underage squads.

Got them last night and it brightens up the game delightfully - thanks Réiteoir!

Good game, didn't "upgrade" last time to FM2006, so the new changes are a pleasure for the most part, but missing the link menu badly (I may be just blind). Damn computer is ridiculously slow though, so it takes forever to make a sub:mad:

Picked it up over the weekend, just getting stuck into it now, liking the extra interaction stuff, pre game and the assistant coach's opinions.

i did the same thing, signed a fella called Eddie Stanford from some team team in Serbia as cover for 2k, first match Foy gets injured for 2 months, as soon as Foy returned, Stanford got injured,and when he returned, Foy Broke his leg! but it wasnt all bad, cause i sold Stanford to Raith Rovers in the summer for 35k!:D

Getting stuck into it at the moment. Finding it a bit easy at the moment - playing with Man City, 4-4-2 attacking formation with no new signings - into November I'm 5th in the league and was 2nd for some time. Only lost to Man United and Chelsea so far. Hardly realistic!

Looks good lads, will be hard to beat the extremely addictive champ manager 2001-2002 season. I felt like I lost a year of my life when I bought that game.

Is the IL in it if so could someone please post the Loughgall squad. Would be grateful to see if researched well enough before I buy it.
