    I know this is not quite what you are talking about, and I've only been around for 5 seasons, but I had a player I got attatched to. He was in my first season squad, but was then aged 30. He picked up some good match ratings, and I was sorry to see him retire at the end of season 3. So I cheated a little. At the start of season 4, I bought a young 22 yo, who played the same position, and re-named him after the original. So the name lives on.

    ha ha yes, thats one way of doing it, I done something like that with 1 player re-naming it after the original and the 2nd form wasn't effective as the first one and was out the door within 2 seasons. This season I plan on buying a scout player and changing the name of the player to my own name and see what happens here.

    Ooohh! Don't think I could do that. Would hate to think I'd have to drop myself if things didn't work out. Couldn't exactly throw the hairdryer at myself.

    I play as a winger, I have good pace (or I did when I was younger), passing game was good and good with free kicks or corners, ha ha... but other than that I am weak and players could win the ball off me easily and I am not a team player... thats my main attributes when I place myself into a football management game. Only problem with top eleven most players are over 6ft in height 183+cm

    How tall are you then? I'm about 175cm personally, 17 years of age. Best position would be AMC/MC, but I'm also capable of playing anywhere down the wings. I'd probably cause the database to crash if I became a T11 player. Passing game is very good, unlike you I'm a team player, but I'm horrible at shooting and similarly weak lol.
    God Bless!

    Around the same height as you, I looked through my scouts and there was only 3 players with a height less than 180, they were 178,177 and 170. But since you can't see the players on the pitch on the game, I suppose it doesn't matter... You gave me a little thought, where are the 16/17 year old players in the game? I would do a probability modifier of getting more chance of 16/17 year olds as you upgrade youth facilities.

    Target shot: 90% Chance of obtaining 18 year-old, 10% of obtaining 17-year-old
    Junior Pitch: 80% Chance of obtaining 18 year-old, 20% of obtaining 17-year-old
    Mini Camp: 70% Chance of obtaining 18 year-old, 30% of obtaining 17-year-old
    Football School: 60% Chance of Obtaining 18 year-old, 30% of obtaining 17-Year Old, 10% of Obtaining 16-Year-Old
    Youth Academy: 50% Chance of Obtaining 18 year-old, 30% of obtaining 17-Year-Old, 20% of Obtaining 16-Year-Old.
