There are a bunch of players i try to sign at every club and usually succeed as when i leave a club, they are chucked in the reserves!

Tommy Spurr - First i snatched him from Sheffield Wednesday to my Sheffield United squad, he played 30+ games in the championship and was in the team of the year. He went on to make +50 starts in two premier league seasons and was Fans Player of the Year. I leave the club and he is instantly put in the reserves! And there is no-one to replace him.

Jamie Ward - This one may surprise some people but i get him early at the Blades and give him a few starts before sending him on loan. When we are promoted he becomes a Northern Ireland regular and first choice Blades backup. He made 35 appearances over 2 premiership seasons and scored 27 league goals. Then when i leave he wins his 18th Cap and scores his 21st internation goal but dropped to reserves. (His stats are good now)

Mark Little and Mark Davies - both from Wolves and first team regulars. Both have had England call ups but they too find themselves in the reserves.

Ashley Chambers - England U-21 International with England call up. Scored 18 goals in 16 premier league appearances before put in reserves before being sold to tottenham for £5,500,000.

Is it just me who thinks these players are good? Have any of you bought these players?

I bought Ashley Chambers in FM07 and I played him right wing and he was amazing

Jamie Ward is doing very well for my MK Dons team. The only thing I'm worried about is that a bigger team may come in for him and I'm going to lose.

Also, this should probably be in the Good Player and Team guide forum

I used to manage Chesterfield, trust me, Jamie Ward is brilliant.

But the fact is, there stats are easily good enough at the current point to slot into a premiership first team, so why is the new gaffer dropping them and playing either worse palyers, kids or others out of position?

ive read a few instances of this recently where players who have managed to break into international teams/squads subsequently get dropped to the reserves when the human manager leaves the club.

Maybe the players reputation stat isnt being boosted up enough by the call-ups?
