If i see him, i will use an eiditor to give him a current abiliy of 1 and a pot abiltiy of 1(H) .... maybe im being too generous?:confused:

If it's a regen you probably wont be able to edit him.

Surprised that I got in ... I don't know if they'll make me a manager or player (I am a youthful 32). :D

Probably staff, yes. Same for me, as I really look 26/28 in my pic...

Hah, congratulations everyone (H)

I am a wonderkid . . . although I hope they put me as English/French!

Bit irrelevant but on FM0405, say a player is dual nationality, can he play for either international country until he is called up by one or the other? Like on CM0304 if he was French/Algerian he would never get called up by Algerian ("other" nationality) but would get called up by French, and in real life the Algerians would get him first?

Doesn't really matter ... it's just cool to have been picked!

(H) Im not in and Im proud of that. (I didnt "register" for that anyway) :p

The nationality stuff can get kind of messy .. I think for some countries, you are allowed to play for them if your parents (and even grandparents in some cases, I think) were born there. I think that's why Owen Hargreaves can play for England (and I think he could play for Wales if he had chosen), even though he is from Canada.

If grandparents counted, then I could be on Canada (my home and native land), Scotland (my grandfather) or Brazil (grandmother). :crazyboy:

Out of that list id go with Brazil:p Canda and Scotland:kader:

Most dual nationality players, who have French as one of them, are 'declared for nation' in the database. So they can't get called up to their second nationality.
I think the French researchers either did a hell of a job asking all of them if they'd ever play for their second nation, or they just wanted all of the players for France (H)

Sadly even I probably could make Team Canada ... they're gonna be out of the top 100 in the next rankings I bet! If a sport isn't played on ice, we're terrible at it, it seems.

Quite a few people got in by the looks of it, i mean theres not one regen is there (H)
