this is why i am sometimes tempted by the england job! i like playing all my english plaers as well in the easier group games, gives them better values and rep! and i would choose a player if they are in good form unlike AI!

I had a player that i created for a laugh with a CA of 160 and PA of 200 because of his age he was still playing for the England U-21s until he was 21. Despite winning world player of the year and premierships 2nd top scorer for first two years it wasnt until after this he picked up his first cap now he has 16 in 16 but if picked earlier he would have had 30 in 30 for the full England team.

On a seperate note I had the money but signed Eddie Johnson for Leeds who has been pretty poor I passed up on Rowan Vine wish i had got him now lol.

I have a problem with the way players are selected too. Im not sure if they are picked on CA or reputation but something is clearly wrong, it's hard to pinpoint it though.

i've seen edison cavani move to arsenal for 33m and become one of the premiership's leading scorers, and still fail to get even a callup to the uruguayan national side, so something is majorly broken with the way ai managers pick international sides

I've noticed England are particularly bad at giving younger players a chance, although 1 exception was my Leicester left-winger in my last game who got into the England team in our 1st season in the Premier League. When I left, he was dropped to Leicester reserves and never played for England again!

I'm running an experiment where I created a squad of 17 yr old super-kids, CA/PA 200. They've been bought up by big clubs - currently 6 at Chelski and 6 at Manyoo. They have maxed out reputations already, earn £6m+ per year, are EPL players of the year etc. They're all in the England U19 or U21 setup, but currently, aged 20 none have full caps.

I'm relating the experiment in the challenges forum. The title is my created club, Glue-Sniffing Gangster Monkeys

The AI can see CA. Its true and thats how it picks players. Dont let SI tell you lies that the AI cant see CA. I have noticed it myself when going on holiday for a match day and letting my assistnat play the game. For example I had a striker who had a relatively high CA compared to my team but his attributes wernt very good for a striker...he had 8 for finishing. But then AI choose him always. Even when I ask the AI to pick my team for me it always seems to pick players on CA instead of actual attributes. Also fitness and form and morale come into as well, as you would expect but the main consideration should be attributes and not CA. We cant see CA so why can the AI?

I'm currently playing as England manager for fun, and I have given first caps to the following strikers (FM07):

Dean Ashton
Gabriel Agbolanhor (4 goals in 7 caps so far. Brilliant)
Bobby Zamora (scored on debut, yet out of favour at West Ham)
Dave Kitson
Carlton Cole
Leroy Lita


and I think a few more that I forgot at the moment.

Never say I don't give them chances.

I have 10 players in welsh national team, plus 12 in u21 and 10 in u18 (more or less, I have 32 all together).

Yes, I only play welsh players XDDDDD

But my rant is that welsh manager has been fired twice, I have appointed both times and AI chose a manager with much less reputation. I agree, both were welsh and I'm spanish but have welsh as second nationality. Does it not count?
