Valid, Phil, but not necessarily true. It's a fairly safe bet that most of the teams you played had more multi-million valued superstars in their squad than you, I'd have thought. Which would be reflected in the AI assessment of the team strength.

(FWIW, I do think reputation is a more likely answer, but I think it's an interesting debate).

Fair point actually. Some of my players may have been of a similar ability, but their values were a lot less. My highest was probably about £300k, which obviously paled into comparison with most of the others.

Its a pity I didnt bet a weeks wages on my Limerick team as we ended up winning the league.I would have been able to retire after one season of management!

Congratulations.

And how would you have made that bet?

I used to play a footie management game AGES back that let you bet on the outcomes of your games. No surer way of getting a few extra quid than to 'somehow' lose a game you were odds-on to win.

Wasn't that USM98? I seem to recall it was there.

The match engine was dire though.

It was in the original USM and USM2 as well.

And yes, the match engines left something to be desired. In a big way.

I meant my fictional weeks wages as I dont actually manage Limerick(it would be cool though although Id probably get stabbed on my way to our first match.."they dont call it stab city for nothing").....FM isnt real life.
