I have had FM 07 since the day it came out and have played as big teams and the smallest was Crewe in English League One. I have used the pre-game editor and the programs to edit during the game. My last game was as manager of Real Madrid then to Newcastle and then to AC Milan and i couldn't help thinking how damn easy it was. It was so easy that it put me off FM for a few months.

On a whim i came in here and started to read alot of the posts and can i just say i am so thankful to all people who posted in here i couldn't stop reading for hours.

So i have began to venture into the world of LLM and used Frank to pick me a team and he came up with ADESG in the Brazilian third teir. This is so far the best game i have ever had having just started the second phase of the league.

Once again i am thankful to everyone in here as i never knew managing a team with no money and hardly enough players to make up a squad could be as good as having £50 million to spend. I have uninstalled and deleted all editors on my computer am having the best save game ever.

One question though can anyone explain how the league system works in Brazil theres so many leagues or is that against the rules.

Thanks Acidburn (A changed for the better FM player)

The state championships have different rules.

The 3rd, 2nd and 1st division are a bit easier, I'm going to look for the bit I posted a while back.

Third Division:
128 teams, 16 groups of 8 teams, play eachother twice, top 2 go into second round, bottom 2 go down.
Second round: , 32 teams, KO round, winners into third round.
Third round, 16 teams, KO round, winners into Final Stage.
Final Stage: 8 teams, league, play eachother twice, top 4 go into Second Division.

Second Division:

I'm going into my second season as hyde united managed to sneak a playoff place on the last day of the season but only heartache followed as i was battered in the playoff final.
Still at least the board free'd up some transfer money for the second season

Well i started as ADESG in Brazilian 3rd teir and i managed to win the first league thing which is a 6 team league playing each team 3 times and as i won i get to play in a cup competition.

So far things have started well in the actual league winning two and drawing one bad news my team only has 10 players on actual contracts and the other 8 are loanees and we are 200k in debt and £71 over the weekly wage budget. But at least the team is performing.

Hmmmmm.

Thumbs up or down?

What to?

Thumb hovering tbh, where did 8 loanees come from for instance?

You do realise acid that your scouts have to find players for you, you can't use the player search to find even the oldest and fattest Brazilians, let alone ones who can actually play.

Have another scan of the rules and satisfy yourself you're doing it right.
