Default Do you have any strange rituals or "rules" in FM?

I have never noticed this on myself before, but I have some things I alwas/never do when I'm playing:

<UL TYPE=SQUARE>

<LI> I never ever sign players from Brazil

<LI> Eastern European players &gt; other players

<LI> I can't manage a team if I dont have the correct kits and logos

<LI> From Africa, I only sign players if they are from Togo or Angola

<LI> It's impossible for me to play with two up front

<LI> I can't play a D LC on left back </UL>

Well that's mine. What's yours? I know you have them!

That's some bizarreness. I don't think I do anything like that, except that I'm pretty meticulous to make sure all the possible teams have kits and logos.

Since CM 01/02, I have always put the mouse in the top left of the screen if I am at home, or top right if I am the away team during a match.

Dunno why, but for some reason I seem to do better when I do this , or maybe its just me.

i don't buy non-EU players, but i'll always look for brazillian/argentinian players with an EU second nationality.

i never have MCs, or i retrain them to AMC/DMCs (same with ML/MR etc)

i don't buy many french players for arsenal

i put minimum release fees on every player after a few tough lessons losing superstars for pennies in spain

can't think of any more...

I can't play with wingbacks, and I always make a sub as near to 59/60 minutes as possible.

I also never click tactics when the oppostition are on the attack. Silly I know, but...

I've got loads, but heres the ones off the top of my head.

[x] I always have the cursor in the net of the goal to which I'm attacking.

[x] I only make subs on the 60th or 75th minute, unless of injury.

[x] I only sign players under 21 years of age, or over 31 years of age. (don't ask)

[x] I try to sign as many players from the nation I'm playing in. (Homegrown)

[x] Every season, the best youth player thats promoted gets straight into my first team, for at least a season

[x] I wont play ML / MR - only AML / AMR, even if the position they play in is MR / ML

[x] I never have MC's in my squad.

[x] All DC's will be retrained to D RC / D LC depending on the favored foot.

[x] A right footed DC plays on the right of defense, and a left footed on the left. I never play to Right footed or two left footed DC's together. This may result in me playing a potentially worse player in a match.

[x] When playing in Cup games v teams lower than me, if any players scores 2 or more goals against me, I will try my best to sign him.

[x] Staff are promoted from within, as much as possible.

thats all I can remember right now, but there are lots more
