142. Super sub Ganci saves unbeaten run

The unbeaten run continues as ganci comes off the bench to score a cracking free kick equaliser against high flying Zonaston 1-1 they stay 4th whilst we stay 7th

141. shock cup win in Rep Cup thru to last 16

Unexcited were held at home to Claret and Blues 1-1. Kombarov pounced on a error to cross for Romero's goal that was equalised soon after half time. To win yet again against a team higher ranked is a great acheivement. It took the dreaded penalty shootout to go thru but the AI controlled Unexcited took the chances as Polito saved most of theirs.

140.Cup shock as MUFC topple big boys for a change

This certainly proves attacking is the only way to be successful. They went a goal down to 58th high ranked Legia Fc but didnt panic in this Super weekly cup match and saw turnaround goals from mom Milhajlov who was later sent off and Romeo who scored in extra time

139. Run continues

the attacking style saw two goals by Mirosevic and Romero as we were outclassed in large parts of the game but finished strongly against struggling but dangerous CT City

138. top of the table Special Effect held by MUFC

A battling 1-1 draw against a vastly superior side continued Unexcited new lease of life of playing attacking football against every and everyone. Romero was the scorer yet again with a mom perrformance by Toja

137. Mirosevic fluke wins cup game

goals from Romero header and Mirosevic gave unexcited a deserved win for going away from home and playing attacking football. having lost so many cup games to the dreaded penalty shootout it was seen that attacking the opponent all game was the only way forward against Rutland Royals.

136. Borrin now looking to youth

Bank rolled by the sanchez sale borrin is now looking at the best youngsters in the game to attempt to sign and bring through.

135. Sanchez shock exit

Renato Goncalves's exceptional Lolz FC have signed tenacious Colombian midfielder Carlos Sánchez on a 2 season contract after their private transfer bid of £425,000 was accepted by veteran English manager Veri (Paint dry) Borrin's high flying Man Unexcited.

There is an additional fee of £42,500 (10% of the transfer fee) payable to Sánchez's agent by Lolz FC.

134. more bad luck follows as pen shootout equals another cup exit

2nd in the table Red star Halmstad got the better of the blues yet again this time in a WFA Cup pen shootout that saw ganci blaze over the bar. Borrin decided this time to play very attacking against them and although they came off 2nd best they had a defence that was brilliant especially gk polito who was mom. In the first half of extra time Ganci almost settled the game with a chip from distance off the post when clean thru.

133. Milhajovic sending off causes defeat

Youth lang u lang edged tis encounter 1-0 after the MUFC defender was shown red. otherwise this was a nailed on draw.

132. Antonio and Prately continue to develop

131. bore draw against Elinskillen Rangers

0-0 saw Luiz excell at right back and Romero dominate up front

130. revenge denied against the Hitmen in 1-1 draw

Romero and mirosevic ran them ragged in the return match as they combined for mirosevic to put us ahead. Playing a packed narrow midfield frustrated them and kept all their stars quiet. yet victory was denied as the brilliant Mihajolov headed under pressure into his own goal in the dying seconds. This game can be so creul.

129. Hit by the Hollywood hitmen in home defeat

we always take the lead against this star studded team but they are odds on to always get something from the game. With Nani and co running wild it was hard at times to keep them out but to be upstaged by a central defender was hard to take in this 1-2 defeat.

128. Griffin reds provide brick wall shut out in 0-1 away defeatWe

The reds always give a tough game and so it proved a very tight one with nothing really in it untill they score from a corner. it was destined that no goals would come in open play. we deserved to get a point and the return match is odds on to see only one goal scored.

127. Gameworld Cup exit in Penalty shootout

in an even match against Kilmacolm wanderers Unexcited managed to equalise thru a Prately 25yrder that took the game eventually to a penalty shootout. In the shootout one by one the shots were missed or saved that gave Wanderers an easy win

126 away goals defeat in Prem/Champ Cup

MUFC proved they were the better team against premiership Leicester foxes.However they just could not break down a brilliant defence and the only clear cut scoring chance fell to johnson who somehow missed.

125. Milovan Mirosevic sparks cup win

A mom performance by Mirosevic saw them past lower ranked AFC Sidcup in the WFA Cup 1st rnd. Sidcup play the famous 460 formation but Borrin got his tactics spot. Mirosevic scored a lucky deflected goal after a sharp turn and shot but an equaliser was soon to come. Usually in these cup games MUFC always score first then get overturned usually in a penalty shootout. However Johnson slid in sub Victor to score from an acute angle and Mirosevic followed up his saved penalty to put the game beyond doubt. This win marks a watershed in the career of borrin as his beatings last season seems to have made him a master tactician. MUFC fans cannot remember the last time they played attractive football let alone score 3 goals.

124. Chabangu wonder goal gives 3rd win in a row

Oakfield utd has played MUFC twice in the past and fully expected to keep there winning streak going until after absorbing sometimes relentless pressure, Chabangu beat his man and crashed a 35 yrd strike home that takes them 4th in the table having now won 4 out of 5 league games.MUFC are not playing well but somehow manages to do enough to win.

123. MUFC in another boring win

Unexcited had yet another game of no creative spark in a game they could easily have lost. Not until they went all out attack did the full back hagingee push up and cross for a late Chabangu headed winner. This win takes them 5th.

122.lucky win in inept display

it took a deflected second half own goal to gift MUFC a win they deserved but bored the crowd to tears. Torrico excelled in his now customary defensive midfield role as One United failed to have a decent attack in probably the worst game ever seen.

121. MUFC get there first points on the board

Big bertha 0 MUFC 1
bertha provided no threat at all as Borrin didnt even target any of there players. it was a good alround performance to get over the disappointment of the previous game. Ganci came off the bench to steal the show with a great trademark placed shot

120. red Star halmstead comfortable win against us

The manager is obviously a top tactician as Unexcited fail to even show up in a 1-2 home defeat. having gone 2-0 down they could even score as Ponce put into his own net.yet the result was never in doubt as Sanchez and Kombarov especially had a stinker of a game his worst ever for the club

119. MAD CAP BLUES sign Dickinson

carl Dickinson has been sold for a good 70k. The 24 yr old was seen as surplus due to Magnins arrival and with his level unlikely to rise it was seen best to cash in.

118. FA CUP penalty shootout win 2-1 v Gilles Town

wasteful in their chances Unexcited fell behind to a lucky rbound after a polito save that deflected off magnin. Ineffectual Victor was replaced by new signing Romero who scored on his debut equalised as the brilliant passing of young Torrico released Ganci wide right who delivered a pin point far post cross for Romero to head home. In an even game in which both keepers pulled off saves in the shootout,centre half Milhajovic scored the winning kick.

117. Rasmussen listed after just one training session

Man Unexcited have removed Swedish striker Joakim Sjöhage from the transfer list. Instead new signing Rasmussen having impressed in training has been judged by Unexcited coaches that he will never command a 1st team place and will be sold.

116. Mauricio Romero re-united with Borrin

Man Unexcited have signed Mauricio Romero from FC Cafe Del Mar in the end of contract wage auction. he was a player under Borrin in an earlier gameworld with Taktily Niave. Although he was not prolific he managed a decent return then and it is hoped that he will do it again as Unexcited struggle to turn chances into goals. there is now massive competition for the loan strikers place.

115. shock move for 32 yr old defender Ludovic Magnin

This will obviously be a surprise due to the age of the player. However the left back position has become an area of weakness Borrin could no longer ignore. Magin is a top player and top players have become hard to sign of late. For his age he is playing at his peak and we hope he has at least one good season left in him as he will be only a short term measure.

114. five players allowed to leave as new squad gets ready for season start

SOUMARE and KISLYAK (patience lost with both as in out players without concistency and so contract run down)

IGHALO (transfer listed out to a dead end team and trying to get career off the ground)

MORENO (allowed to leave in a wage auction since we had won the bid for JOHNSON who can play the same role. A 74 rank team is now getting the benefits of his potential as he has made a world class start. This could be the biggest mistake ever made)

CAIO (this really is the biggest mistake possibly. If Unexcited fail to challange next season then many will question whether it was worth it to cash in on this player. As he was sold for 600k to finace a new squad building plan. he was transfered to a top 100 side and made five 8/10 performances in his first 12 games although only hear for one season, CAIO will still go down as a legend here)

113. Pratically a whole new team bought for £225k in time for new season

PRATLEY ( 25yr old influential powerhouse to replace power lost in hurtado) 40k

GARCIA ( 24 yr old has stats to develop into a great attacking full back or could be pushed into midfield) 36k

GANCI (29 yr old AM his impressive stats and shot placing overlooked his age) 29k

TORRICO (only 22, dirt fast passing machine stats dont reflect it but he is one heck of a DM) 18k

MIHAJLOV (28 yr old CBK well known influential defensive brains to our niave defence) 44k

MIROSEVIC (impressed on trial even though age against him 30 yr old AMRCL)

JOHNSON ( only 23 yet well known with great stats. Possibly a brilliant player has been signed) 55k

but now seeks to sell him anyway to raise funds

98.star player Caio on the brink of leaving

A club has put in a bid of £500k for the record signing and highest wage earner to which Borrin had planned to accept. However this bid is no longer legal due to his contract expiring. It has now caused a host of clubs talking to him and could see him forced out at a paultry sum of 120k.

97. Borrin seeks to play more open next season

Having experimented with a 4-3-3 formation and using transfer listed Victor as a wide forward in a 3-0 friendly away win. it is believed that this will be the formation for next year and Victor who scored and won man of the match will now not be sold. Victor will join Kombarov or nieto as a wide forward with Chambangu being the main striker. Borrin tinkered with the idea of selling his stars and rebuilding but instead now will hold on to them as they are still developing and instead steadily add U21 players and bring through.

Seasoned and honourable English manager Roy jazzy's high flying jazzhouse at midnight have signed Tunisian winger Youssef Mouihbi on a 1 season contract after they agreed to pay the 'auto accept' amount of £85,000 to secure his transfer from experienced English manager Veri (Paint dry) Borrin's high flying Man Unexcited.

95. Final league game ends in victory FOR 9TH PLACE

Activision were looking to snatch another draw against the draw masters after Fejsa gave the lead. Nieto came on as a late sub to crack a cracking winner in a game MUFC dominated.

94. defeat finally comes

Castle park rangers brought our unbeaten streak to an end despite a breakaway equaliser by in form Chabungu in a 2-1 away defeat.Problem was this was the worst side in the division but our AI was just not up to it.

93. Ten men hold on for home draw

Haginge recieved two yellow cards as Forza Halmstead held on for a 0-0 draw

92. eight game unbeaten streak and Chabangu on fire at last

We are finally becoming more consistent and Chabungu has finally showing us what he really can do scoring in 4 games in a row 2 of which were out of this world.

91. hard working win @ last and with style

Decided to play with attacking style against a weak Daventry Utd at home. Chabangu ran the show again and is running into top form now.He hi another goal and st up the winning long ranger from Victor to win the match 2-1. We seem to play well with 3 or 4 am's or could be just coincidence in chasing games.

90. another comeback 1-1

MCT United continues to cause problems for us as Moreno and chabangu starred with the striker heading a near post equaliser.

89.dynamic comeback 2-2

Scunthrope lying 7th put us to the sword and raced 2 nil up for a side with no outstanding players.Yet MUFC broke with tradition and had a real go putting 3 up front and an attacking midfielder.two minutes later saw 2 cracking goals from Kombarov and sub Fejsa.club legend Hurtado had another stinker and was subbed which saw a dramatic improvement.Should we be playing all out football? i wonder....

88. Chabangu wonder goal earns draw

Chabangu came on for the disappointing Caio and a dribbled run and curling shot from distance set the paint dry stadium alive. It was a great response having gone a goal behind to the allstar Hollywood Hitmen lying 2nd in the table.

87. boredraw

we cant put away Fish utd ranked 300+????

86. kombarov saves the day

Zonaston 1 MUFC 1 another 14 shots???? yet we scrae an equaliser.

85. in the lead then defeat...its gettin worse

Victor pounces against 4th placed Halmstead in a 1st half where we dominated. Then lost our way in the 2nd. What are we lacking?

84. here we go again one up, dominate ,conceed late goal

When will this attern ever end? it wont be this season i bet. Having created 14 chances to their 4 we cant score in open play (victor pen)whilst they do in last 10 mins.Griffin reds are currently 3rd in table and possibly will qualify for Premiership....its all crazyyyy!!!

83. cant explain a loss that stats suggest otherwise

OAKLAND 2 MUFC 1
This Oakland side have no stars and no players with 100k fees. they are out played in every department and even have two players with match ratings below 5.7, they even had a man sent off late in the game. My team all avg at least 6.4 with victor the goalscorer on 7.1. This is all the proof i need that it is a waste of time me paying again once my subscription expires.This result will lead to the death of this club and I will probably buy FM10 instead as this game makes little sense to me even after me being amongst the original beta testers.

This has been the story of our season. We have a talented squad as our star rating suggests but we cant score above 2 goals a match and will always conceed no matter what.

82. MUFC ALMOST WIN AT TOP OF THE TABLE SIDE

MUFC led by Kombarov's goal and an inspired Victor failed to hold on to their goal advantage against top side Youth Lang a Lang.

81. Super sub Moreno wins the match

Home to struggling Activision should have been a routine victory, however it ended as a hard fought one with everything but the kitchen sink being thrown at them. Hurtado bossed the game but Victor had no joy up front and was subbed by patrick who missed a sitter after taking on the defence single handed.Moreno came on for the disappointing Kombarov and proved the difference.

80. Victor penalty miss in undeserved AI defeat

Griffin Reds were very lucky to win as MUFC created as much as they did.MUFC were unlucky not grab something from this away fixture.

79. Caio at it again with solo brilliance to earn draw

Caio ignited in the second half to grab a point against a dangerous Forza Halmstead team.Dickinson soured what was a great comeback performance with a red card foul close to the end.

78. Caio proves the difference in close win

AC Allstars were narrowly beaten by MUFC who despite playing at home and being major favourites played a very coy counter attacking style.

77. MUFC blow 3pts in last minute goal

MUFC led by a Fejsa blockbuster until conceeding a last minute goal to Castle Park Rangers

76.Mathijssen,Patrick and Nieto improve

Danny Mathijssen,Patrick and Nieto are progressing very well in training

75. Something is wrong with this game???? another crazy defeat..why?

Experienced English manager Veri (Paint dry) Borrin's reigning champions Man Unexcited have moved down one place to 7th in the Weeknight Division One after their 0-1 defeat to Adam Hill's underachieving Southend Athletic.

Southend Athletic move up five places to 4th. Athletic were totally outplayed with MUFC creating 3-1 in clearcut chances.this result is pushing me closer to quitting once FM10 is released.

74. We now lose to a team who cant win in auto resolving

How does a team go 14 games with 12 losses suddenly win in a auto resolving match? it seems is one of the flaws with FML

Veteran English manager 's reigning champions remain 6th in the despite their <0-1:link#08000002900000000000C000080000000007CA20400D2000000FFFFFFFF0200037CA2040000000000010000000000000000> defeat to English manager 's underperforming .

72. Stadium expansion

Veteran English manager Veri (Paint dry) Borrin's exceptional Man Unexcited have started a £288,000 stadium construction programme.

The construction work being undertaken by Man Unexcited is estimated to take 3 days to complete.

New Insomnia End, Snoring Stand, Lame Street and Sleep Over Terrace blocks are to be constructed.

The total capacity is due to increase from 7,040 to 26,240 as a result of the work.

71. MUFC edge past bottom team

In Division one a slender 1-0 win via a Victor header from a Nieto corner was enough to lift us into 4th place. We continue to dominate teams without a ruthlessness in front of goal. We create too many 1/2 chances and not enough clear chances to settle games.

70. Caio to the rescue

A home 1-1 draw with MCT United was a welcome result after going a goal down and having to play most of the match on the counter as MCT proved a great side even though they have no star players. Caio scored from the spot and won the MOM award as he is finally proving his worth.

69. back in charge from AI to edge win

Dominated against Scunthorpe at home yet failed to put game out of sight and relied on og to edge us home in this Division one match up. This win moves us 3 places to 6th and Scunthrope to 7th

68. Day after I.O,W holiday return

67. MUFC crash out of Bobby Robson Tribute Cup

Seasoned English manager Veri (Paint dry) Borrin's reigning champions Man Unexcited are out of the Bobby Robson Tribute Cup after their 0-2 aggregate defeat to Polish manager Piotr Wilczynski's exceptional Fallen 09 Warszawa.

Fallen 09 Warszawa go through to the 2nd Round where they will play either English manager Michael Knight's unknown Europa or honourable Australian manager Dean Stephens's high flying Bada Bing Football Club.

This was a typical 2nd leg syndrome that Managers are blaming on a game bug. Its where you do so well in the 1st leg and are favourites to go through then get hit in the 2nd leg.

66. 3pts blown in 1-1 draw

Experienced English manager Veri (Paint dry) Borrin's reigning champions Man Unexcited have moved up one place to 7th in the Weeknight Division One after their 1-1draw with young English manager Scott Bentley's reigning champions A.C. Allstars.

A.C. Allstars move up one place to 9th.

Victor struck again and could have had another brace but for a offside decision. MUFC fell into their bad habits by totally dominating but lacking the finishing touch and allowing this lower ranked team back into the game they didnt deserve to be.

65. MUFC off to a league flier 4-2

Seasoned English manager Veri (Paint dry) Borrin's reigning champions Man Unexcited have moved up four places to 8th in the Weeknight Division One after their 4-2 win over young English manager Adam Hill's club Southend Athletic.

Southend Athletic remain 14th.

It was a rare occassion for MUFC to go goal crazy as they often fail to score more than one if at all. Athletic were the lower ranked team which at home allowed the blues to play an expressive game. Victor bagged a brace along with two long distance crackers from Hurtado and Fejsa.

64. Chabangu breaks his arm

Your physio has reported that has sustained a broken arm after the South African striker fell heavily during the match against Polish manager 's outstanding .

has been sent to a specialist for treatment.

It is likely that he will be out for between 2 and 3 days whilst he is treated.

According to the rankings we stand an outside shot at promotion, however a mid table finish is more likely knowing our luck.

60.KISLYAK BEGINS NEW SEASON AS MUFC'S MOST EXPENSIVELY RATED PAYER

If we had known his value would have blown up we would have put him on a 7 day loan only

59.NO APONO-GATE THIS TIME AS MUFC WIN THE RACE FOR MORENO

Nine clubs have made sealed bids in the race to sign Colombian midfield playmaker Giovanni Moreno in the end of contract wage auction that ends in 15 minutes.

The highest bidder will secure him on a new contract.

There is an acquisition fee in the region of £50,000 payable to experienced English manager Veri (Paint dry) Borrin's exceptional Man Unexcited if Moreno is signed by another club.

Moreno is currently nearing the end of his contract with seasoned English manager Veri (Paint dry) Borrin's exceptional Man Unexcited.

58. Apono poached by Inter

Swedish full-back Patrik Haginge of experienced English manager Veri (Paint dry) Borrin's reigning champions Man Unexcited has expressed his disappointment at the sale of Apoño to Inter Boheme.

Haginge indicated that he felt Apoño was a key member of the first team squad and success will be more difficult to come by now that he has left.

Coach Borrin was shocked to see him go and blames himself for not watching the situation a bit closer than he did. the only bright light on the matter is that it will free up a team space for Kislak when he returns from loan. However Apono was a 80% tackler whilst Kislak cannot get into the 70's as yet.

On the day that MUFC turned into a 3 star team it was a shame to lose the well known midfielder for a pitiful 45k

57. AI teams coming soon

Offline control

You’ll be well aware that if you’re not able to log-on to fulfil a fixture, the match is played under a very basic “AI” control.

In reality, this stand-in AI “manager” does almost nothing for you - simply ensuring that if a player is injured or very tired, he is substituted and performing no other tactical changes in response to the general ebb and flow of the match.

This leads to two particular problems in FML:

1) You feel as if you are at a disadvantage especially if your opponent wins the Playing Rights”and gets to play the match. While for the more intense FAs this might be desirable (ie an advantage for the human participant) for some of our more casual FAs this means a manager can become detached from his team as it plays out a series of matches in his absence without even making some basic changes as the match unfolds.

2) Going in the opposite direction, the hardcore manager, if beaten by an AI team whose manager “does almost nothing” (which although statistically less likely than losing to a human, still happens frequently) feels particularly aggrieved and this forms the basis for many forum complaints. That is, a manager feels that despite logging on and participating actively in their GW, it is unfair to be beaten by a team whose manager appears not to care about his matches.

To aid offline control we’ll be introducing what we’re currently calling match plans. Match plans aim to provide a system where users can specify what actions they would like to take as a match unfolds, depending on key events in the match (goals, time passing, possession %s etc).

This should keep the less hands-on manager connected with his team and an element of control when away from the game. It is also hoped that users who come up against a well-executed match plan will be more forgiving of defeat than they are currently.

Bigger better competitions

Currently in FML, with FAs we’ve taken the approach that means that a user joining the GW is never more than 2/3/4 ‘promotions’ from the top division.

This is achieved via spreading the users amongst a dozen or so FAs of less than 100 teams in each and a shallow ‘pyramid’ style of promotion/relegation meaning, in-general, more teams go down from the division above than go up from the division below.

We’ve seen how these FAs can develop a strong sense of community however for the new users joining they miss an opportunity whereby a new team can gain satisfaction through climbing up through many divisions towards the top.

The result can be a situation where there is too limited a scope for a team to rise up and FAs and their divisions can become stagnant.

In addition, the whole concept of being ‘2/3/4′ promotions from the top division is a false and often unattainable goal for the majority of users - there can only be a few winners.

So by allowing many more divisions/levels we can allow more users to experience success and progress in the game.

Further, by combining this approach with the inclusion of fairly low standard AI teams in the FA (these will occupy the lower ends of the FA pyramid), we give even more users the chance to make some headway.

More features to come

As I mentioned on Wednesday in the first blog this isn’t it! There are plenty more features in development that we will be revealing over the coming weeks and months. Keep an eye out on the forums and website for more info soon.

56. Tokens to replace money?

AI teams and Missions

In many respects, AI is a bit of a dirty word inside the inner circles of FML. Some managers hate playing matches against the oppositions AI team others seem to do better than against their human counterparts. With our final day of blogs (tomorrow) we’ll announce a new feature that will directly address some of the offline play components that are the cause of such frustration.

It might therefore be seen as a little odd that we’re now looking to go an extra step and introduce AI (or bot) teams to the game and have a full on PvE / NPC enviroment. We believe these teams have a place in all your hearts and we’ll try to explain how.

As it stands today any new manager joining a gameworld is from the moment they confirm their squad open to play against fellow human managers. This can often not be a problem at all (especially to managers well prepared both in their squad selection and tactical makeup). However, for many virgin managers they are seen as fresh meat by others in the gameworld who almost fight it out amongst themselves to take them on and get ‘first blood’.

Our first goal with this new system is to provide managers opponents to practice against before playing against real teams. This we hope will eliminate ‘newbie shame’ i.e. the worry amongst new users that their team is going to get battered and that the other users are going to ridicule them.

We also see this as a great opportunity for try out new formations and players before using them for real against other teams.

These AI teams will provide a consistent benchmark against which to test your team. We all know how difficult it can be sometimes to gauge exactly how much you are improving at the game as your opponents are developing at the same time. Therefore if you play a team, then 2 weeks later play them again and fare worse then it may be that you are getting better at the game but the other side is getting better too, only at a faster rate.

By having AI teams who have a character but never change in quality it is far easier to evaluate whether you are getting better at the game. The same AI teams will be present across all worlds.

To try and blend the AI teams into the game we’ve devised a missions based approach. Missions will eventually provide a great way of bringing users together towards a common goal (we’re not sure if they’ll be ready for the Autumn or Winter releases right now but they are at an advanced stage and our beta team will give us feedback shortly)

Our vision is to create goals that are beyond what the manager and their team currently have, but should be achievable in the short-term. So for a new user during their initial login period we would use this as a handholding exercise to gently introduce them into the game. E.g. play a 1 star AI team, play a 2 star AI team and only open them up to human players once they’ve completed these first missions.

Longer term for the more established managers we could develop missions to allow users to ‘gang up’ to take on a quest. A simple example would be 5 teams grouping together and taking on 5 AI teams, if they win 4 out of the 5 matches then they complete the mission.

In this way there is a way in the game for every user to win (with the AI teams losing) and a sense of interest in the other users’ matches - if the group have won 3 of their first 4 matches for example, then all the other users will be watching the final game, spurring that user on.

Tokens

How many of you long term managers are looking for more things to do? Allow me to introduce our non monetary tokens system…which I must stress early on that we’ll ensure that things you can buy with them should not affect the actual game in any way.

Tokens will not be transferable for skills, cash, players, stadiums but they will be used to purchase some really cosmetic and light elements. Already in the background of our 1.3 beta code we’ve got a system for earning tokens and this is just to give us an idea as to how many people will accumulate which in turn will help us set the prices. We always want to make sure that there are those items which you can get quickly and others which involve lots of saving.

Here is a snippet of some of our plans – we’d love to hear some of your ideas so we’ll be keeping an eye out on the forums.

How you can earn tokens

• Playing matches – Every time your side steps out onto the field of play you get rewarded.

• Unofficial prize money for comps – Bye bye real money and hello to tokens for entering and winning unofficial competitions

• Missions - Earn tokens for completing missions

• Birthday - It’s your birthday … collect tokens!

• Achievements – The more you unlock and the harder they are to obtain the more tokens you can earn.

How you can spend tokens

• Custom smilies - for the lobby

• Kit designs - Unlock a new range of kits

• Pitch Designs – Change the design of your pitch. Diamonds, crop circles or maybe even embossing your team badge onto your pitch.

• Fee to send comp mailing list - Pay tokens to send mailing list messages

55. Youth acadamies on the way in next release

It’s taken a lot longer than we would have liked however we’re now in a position to lay out in a little bit of detail the road ahead for Football Manager Live (FML).

Thanks to lots of meetings, forum threads and office chatter we’ve mapped out the next 10 months development work with the clear aim of addressing any outstanding game issues as well as adding a sprinkling of new features. However, we can’t and won’t lay out everything that we’re planning today as we’re wary of promising something and it either slipping down the pecking order or not making it at all in this timespan.

We’re aiming to break out these changes in 3 major updates with the first scheduled to arrive in the Autumn.

The stuff we’ll talk about over the next few days is not everything. There are other things that we’ll announce at a later date and we’ll also continue to work on ideas put forward in the forums (as well as stuff we discuss internally from time to time).

Match Engine

To those not in the know, FML has been running an older version of the SI match engine since it was launched in November 2008. This means that we’re using the match engine (with some specific FML enhancements) that was released with the final patch of Football Manager 2008.

It has taken us a long time to get ourselves in a position whereby we’re the match engine in FML is in sync with the FM team and I’m pleased to confirm that it’s now the case and has been for around six weeks in our beta worlds.

There are a number of reasons why we didn’t just jump in last year and take the latest engine. The first one was simply timing and our desire to make sure the November launch was rock solid and one extra way of ensuring this happened was by having a slightly older and more mature match engine. There were so many new changes in FM09 and its move to 3D that it was just too risky.

The second reason which in a way is a result of the above is the time and development required to get the two games in sync was substantial and there were a number of unknowns that we could not factor in properly.

Early reports from our beta testers are favourable and you’ll be able to see for yourself in our first major update (1.3). Your world will only upgrade to it once you get to the end of the season. For some of you this might mean an agonising few weeks wait once you’ve got the new version.

As a final point on the match side of things …. 3D…..which very much part of our plans! We’ve opened up internal discussions with the FM team and although it’s not something that you can expect to see in the short term it is something we’d like to deliver towards the end of this development cycle.

Due to the fact that FML doesn’t require much in the way of PC / Mac processing power we are looking to make it an optional download which will only present itself if you have the required machine specification. Matches will be able to be played 2D vs 2D, 2D vs 3D and of course 3D vs 3D. We’ll have more on this later in the year.

Youth Academies

This one is probably up there with the hot forum requests and we are pleased to confirm that it’ll be making it’s way to the game during the winter.

At the moment, new regen players are generated daily to ensure the gameworlds are balanced. A number of you have some complex filtering in operation and lots of time available to scour the new additions and alongside the scouting skills you can hedge your bets when it comes to trying to sign the better players.

We all know and realise that this kind of system does not lend itself well for the casual player who has no real chance of getting good new players for cheap.
Although we have some much more detailed plans for the academy side of the game, initially we’ll be allowing you to create a basic youth setup for your club.

The basic idea will be that every club will have the option to have youth players automatically arrive into their squad on a limited-duration contract to be given the once over, and should they decide to keep the player, will be able to sign them on their basic wage demand. What remains to be nailed down is how exactly scouting skills and Judging Potential (JP) come into the equation, and how/if having a youth academy requires a certain level of financial investment.

Key to the design will be to ensure that a user joining a GW late is able, right from day one, to compete in the youth market without being outbid for anyone of note by the resident JP experts.

For those of you not interested in an academy you will still be able to search for youth talent on the open market and there will still be a good % of the available young players available.

54. Brazilian midfield playmaker Caio becomes record signing

Experienced and capable English manager Veri (Paint dry) Borrin's outstanding Man Unexcited have won the race to sign Brazilian midfield playmaker Caio in the end of contract wage auction that ended this afternoon at 13:58.

41.Polito doing well but needs the No.1 Jersey

Your coaching staff have indicated that commanding Italian goalkeeper Ciro Politohas been showing remarkable improvements during recent training sessions.

In the report it is indicated that as he is no longer a youth player he needs more first team football if he is to continue to develop towards his potential.

Polito has himself indicated that he feels very happy with the way he is training at the moment but also took time out to stress that he feels his progression is in no small part due to the excellent coaching provided to him by Veri (Paint dry) Borrin.

40. Have we stumbled on the perfect tactic or is this another false dawn

We have gone thru some poor patches since our initial good start in this gameworld. We have gone back to the drawing board so many times that our recent retreat to the boardroom is greeted with sceptisim. However using a xmas tree like defensive formation we have proved inpregnable with only one team scoring against us in 5 games and that was due to a keeper error.we now use our wingers as pratically advanced central wingbacks who tuck in unaturally but spring wide naturally. Both Ebert and kombarov have adapted well to this system especially Ebert. With Kislak returning from loan tommorrow he will now have a future as a back up player to either wingers.Moreno is flourishing again and apono has come back in a storm of good form having been dropped for 7 games.our only proble with this system is how to accomodate Victor and Everton as both continue to struggle.

39. New signing hopes to reignite MUFC's poor show in front of goal

Hegemonya move up one place to 6th.

34. dominate away and still lose, here we go again

Experienced English manager Veri (Paint dry) Borrin's reigning champions Man Unexcited remain 5th in the Weeknight Qualifying League Four despite their 0-1 defeat to young Norwegian manager Allan Juhl Roska's goal shy Lucky Beevers.

Lucky Beevers move up one place to 12th. Beevers were never in it yet i noted we are not creating clear cut chances.Im thinking whether to change our wingers for amids

33. Dickinson improves but our new signing will be no.1

Your coaching staff have indicated that, aided by your excellent coaching techniques, decisive English full-back Carl Dickinson has been showing remarkable improvements recently.

They added that they believe the player's exposure to first-team football has definitely been a major factor in his development.

31.Back to winning ways

We went on a 4 game winning streak and boy does it feel good to be competing again. A 2-0 home win against Griffin Reds (6th place)was the highlight as it was done whilst i went next door to a neighbour. All my team was out of position and played a blinder. kombarov was up front Victor in midfield and Toja right wing.

30. Drastic action= tactic change

I have taken drastic action and reverted to a 4-3-3 tactic that served us well a while ago. We have changed our philospy to a more rigid one and will use it home and away

29. Kombarov improves regardless of club slide

Your coaching staff have indicated that cultured Russian winger Dmitry Kombarov, spurred on by your cutting edge coaching, has been showing remarkable improvements recently.

They added that they believe the player's exposure to first-team football has definitely been a major factor in his development.

28.I can no longer defeat the AI

How these teams are taking points off of us i have no idea.A brilliant Toja pass for Everton saved defeat against Matrock @home whilst at the Paint Dry Stadium we create 14 chances to score getting 4 on target and losing 0-1 to Jinga Saints who had 4 chances all game????

I want to give up but cant as i like this gameworld and i like my team.

27.Slide continues

As i slide down the table with defeats to Lokerman and Handsome boys i now realise that this team is doomed to failure as we considtently enounter bad luck in front of goal. Whilst our opponents get gifts.I need a left back as Dickinson though playing well young and talented has poor off the ball skills and has become a liability. I have lost patience with Asamoah and sold him off for 45k. no one in the team seemed to care that he was gone and that surprised me as he was a well known player. As for new signing mossorro the coaches think he will never become a regular and that he should be sold. Its not going well for me at the moment.

Toja was signed to add a little class further forward and also can play wide right as kambarov is slowly become more inaffective day by day.

26.New signings make the team worse?

Ciro Polito a influential goalie
Erman kilik a speed dribbler to compete with kombarov
Youseff Moiuby a successful signing that terorises defences with his gutsy play
and speed forward marcio massorro who is now injured and plays crap.
we now have strenght in depth but continue a winless streak that has no end in sight.

Ive given up caring and now laugh along with the errors we make to give away goals or dominate a match and get hit by one attack etc etc We now get injuries galore per game and have no forwards on form.

25. Xaves and Parr depart

These two were not pulling up any trees and in my bid to reinforce especially with my new formation they became surplus to requirements and were quickly sold on.I am after a tricky forward a winger and a centre back and maybee a full back.

24.Manager speaks

Having gone on a 7 game goalless drawing streak. it has forced me to look at my tactics again. obviously something is wrong! we dont seem to be getting breaks in the box as one lone striker is vastly outnumbered for crosses by defenders. Is it the wingers? are they not good enough? why cant they pick out the striker with regularity? yet clubs constantly bid for them especially Ebert.So they must be good and at 22 performing as they are they definately are good. So the problem is elsewhere. I had overloaded the midfield with 3 powerhouses but maybee the time has come to lessen the load and give help with a strike partner for Victor.I tried fast dribblers alongside and had brief success in trialist's like Diego (not the famous one).Everton and Victor have never had a full game together yet, so I laboured to find a way to form a strike partnership blend. Since Everton is a great dribbler i made him the deeper lying player with Victor being released for thru balls. Ever since changing from 4-3-2-1 to 4-2-4 with wingers behind the forwards my team has played some lovely stuff and began to bang in the goals again.

Everton and Victor have formed a dynamic duo as the two centre midfielders (usually now Hurtado and asamoah yes asamoah!!)supply cracking thru balls and the wingers find them easier as they cross.

With league games soon to be resumed i go into them with renewed confidence and hopefully chasing down the leader.

23. Fejsa out injured

No sooner had the staff praised his progress he gets injured in his next game and Ljubomir Fejsa will now be out for up to 2 games. it was thought that he might be rested for a few games anyway to allow Moreno or risgard an opportunity of a few more games.So in a funny way this will be good rest for the 21yr old yet bad news for the team overall.

22. Fejsa making great progress

Your coaching staff have indicated that Serbian midfield playmaker Ljubomir Fejsa, thanks in no small part to your innovative coaching sessions, has been showing remarkable improvements recently.

Defensively it was probably our worst performance with some shocking misses at the other end. lemonade are a good side and should be higher up the table and dominated this game after we scored the opener, but this will always be a case of two points dropped"

"We have been patiently waiting for a top class striker in which we could afford to become available. This is without doubt our greatest signing yet. We create so many chances but lack the instinct in front of goal. With Victor leading our attack we are hoping that all that will change. We really could become a top side in the coming seasons as our averadge squad age is only 24-25.

Man Unexcited who have drawn their last 4 games 0-0 came from behind to win against Hollywood Hitmen who were unbeaten for 9 games and sweeping all before them.

Your coaching staff have indicated that commanding Romanian goalkeeper has been showing remarkable improvements during recent training sessions.

They added that they believe the player's exposure to first-team football has definitely been a major factor in his development.

1. trialist chase is on

As most of the gamworld enjoy the best players....I find solace in trying to snap up promising 20 somethings out on trial. kislak and Ighalo are new additions who hopefully will develop into good players within a couple of seasons. I am relieved that my astronomical bid for the explosive Ighalo was not necessary and managed to out bid 2 other teams with a bid around the 6k mark. A host of talented players are available and if i can snap up a couple it would be a good first season in assembling this budget squad.
