As we now have weather changes, and stadiums are not all of the same quality - what about the occasional cancelled match, and also maybe fixtures moved if teams have cup games at home or in Europe? This would mean that some teams in the leagues would have games in hand - which would make analysis of where y...

Is there a way that we can have a goals conceded for the defenders and keeper? If not due to space can we have goals conceded to the goals column just for keepers. Example: GS/GC Van Dar Sar 4 Rooney 10 So above indicated Rooney has scored 10 and Van dar Sar conceded 4. I t...

Possible changes for the new season. As normal, early planning has to go into any alterations for the new season and I have a couple I'm looking at possibly introducing already. So like every season I'll put them out and see what everyone thinks of them, and leave it open for further suggestions - alth...

With the FA agreeing in 2009/10 to having 4 home grown talents in a squad of 16, will this affect the FA Academy and what do members thinking about applying the same rules. Players dont necassarily have to have come through that club but British born. Perhaps after each players name we could have their c...

In a bid to enliven the transfer market for us poor lower division teams who get frustrated at seeing decent players sat on benches all season at larger clubs. Woudl it be possible to make postings and dressing room discontent for some of those players who just want to play first team football. This wou...

Tezza · Tezza

At the beginning of any season there is an aweful lot of looking at players and teams. I think it would be a lot better if all e-mails and postings had the "Team" on them. You would not have to search through the leagues to find who you had been dealing with. Another idea would be for holidays. W...

Two developments since the last post. One thing I'm now looking to include into the engine is a weather element. Differing weather would change the effectiveness of tactics from week to week. I'm not sure how much work it'll need to include but its one thing I'm hoping to get done by the end of the season...

I am moving to a new club at the end of the season. That Club is in trouble at the moment and may well go down. Wouldn't it be an idea to let the new manager go in 8 weeks before the end of the season, in these circumstances, and let them try to pull it around. Nothing to loose. A few million added to the kitty at th...

I'm working on various changes for next season, as you've seen one element I'm considering is the "Co-op" stats (Teamwork - but name had to be shortened). One thing I'd like peoples opinions on is a Form stat. I can generate form in two different ways: Last match form - This will show the rati...

Has anyone been able to or currently running their team stats into Excel ? Tried cutting and pasting to no avail.

JOP · JOP

I've come up with a thought, don't know if anyone has brought this up before but here it goes:When teams get relegated from the lowest league in thier country they should then be taken out of the game and the manager needs to find a new club.To replace the team relegated FA (Rich) should have a pot of tea...

Would it be possible to show on the team page which tactics a team played the previous week as it may help when selecting a team.

JOP · JOP

I think (If possible Rich) that there should be 2 Sheets to submit.Team Sheet - With Name, email, password and teamTransfer Sheet - With Name, email, password and Transfers/Loans The reason I have come up with this is that there has been a few times that I (and prob others) have submitted my teamsheet s...

Hi all I've been thinking after completing the MOTFA questionnaire this week if maybe it would be a good idea to have a teamwork value out of 10 for each player. Even the world-class players can lack in teamwork ability and not have an end-product, whereas players that lack technical skill can work ha...

I normally look at setting up any changes I'll be making in the second half of seasons so they're ready to be included come the end of season. The main thoughts for the next improvements is giving managers something else to spend money on other than players. You'll all finds at times the transfer market...

mg1 · mg1

I know the amount of loan/transfers available have been discussed many times but how about the amount available being doubled just for the end of season. I appreciate you don't have unlimited time Rich but perhaps as a one off it would be manageable. Alternatively perhaps clubs could still use t...

JOP · JOP

Not sure if this has been mentioned before but how about the chairman being more active? For example: Blocking a transfer - If someone is trying to sell their best player for a stupid price, chairman doesn't like it he blocks it.Chairman proposes to sell a player/s to raise funds for the club. What do yo...

Hi Just a couple of comments on the FA Radio which is a good feature. But there are 2 things that I would do to improve it if possible. State which team a player is playing for in the commentary otherwise you have to either know the team (ie be the manager of the team involved) or have the another window open w...

Richard, has the club stats section on the home page been updated as i would have thought clubs like myself and Watford who are doing well would have looked better in the eyes of the chairman/fans?

evertonian · evertonian

Hi everyone I don't know if this has been brought up before, but I just had an idea about free agents. I know that on both this game and in the previous one there have been lots of arguments about free agents - with bigger clubs having the priority and just signing free agents to sell on or sit in the reser...

JOP · JOP

I don't know if this has been sugested before, but when youth players are introduced how about having ex/retired players e.g. John Charles, Maradonna, Ian Rush, Pele etc.. They could start of as youngster like the others, but not neceserilly(spelling) go to the team they played for when they did p...

Dan · Dan

Why cant clubs loan out players on the understanding the player could be recalled any time? Im sure some of the 'top clubs' would be more willing to loan 2 or 3 decent players out if they could recall them instantly rather than have to wait the whole season or half a season should the need arise (injurie...

Bluebird99 · Bluebird99

Was thinking last night how much easier it would be if we had two loan slots on the transfer sheet, one for loans coming in and one for loans going out. It's tough because, we want to loan players out but players coming in would take priority and therefor alot of people don't end up doing loans coz their slo...

So far, FA can confirm the engine has already been adapted ready for the new season to allow new tactical features for managers to utilise. The old four will be slightly altered to allow the new ones to fit in although not majorly. Tactics available to managers will be; Counter, Wingers, Possession, D...

Hi everyone Just looking at the Foreign Player Marker which doesnt seem to be booming at the moment, which is a shame as its a great idea. I was thinking maybe that a Foreign Player Loan market could perhaps be added??? In real life clubs in the Premier League and lower often make season-long loans or loa...

Just filling in my teamsheet (early for once) and it got me thinking. Would anyone agree that a few more options would be useful? the curent ones dont really give alot? not sure if it would be possible to add more options or how hard it would be but to be honest none of the below were relevent to the formati...

Work has been started on the idea of managers having control over their stadium and expansions to it. This idea is some way off yet but the idea is to allow managers to extend their stadiums capacity, manage facilities and generally keep the stadium in acceptable condition (so the bigger stadiums wil...

Was just wondering if there could be any way to hide your bank balance from other managers, as when you are trying to buy someone then surely the other manager just looks at how much you have in the bank and adjusts their valuation accordingly. This would make the game more realistic, and could offer 's...

Jozz · Jozz

Hi I know Richard is aiming to make this as close to real football as possible. If you watched the Liverpool game last night you will know there is a lot of talk about whether Rafa is right to rotate his team and leave Torres on the bench. I have asked in the past about whether there is any advantage to playin...
