Professional footballers on FM!

[Joss]

Liverpool's Glen Johnson has won every major trophy with the Reds - on Championship Manager. The right back has become a big fan of the computer game while recovering from his knee injury. "I'm sick of TV now," he admits. "When you're confined to the couch you'll look at anything. Thankfully, Championship Manager got me through."
Full story: Daily Mail

LOL, I don't understand how he managed to win all the trophies.. i wonder if he used skins etc. OR even tactics from fm-base? any comments???

 

[Redders]

Probs not used any off here as this is a Football Manager site.

He needs to buy FM.

EDIT.

Infact;

Glen, you're a tool, its Football Manager you want to be playing

I believe some Pro Footballers do use the site,not sure who is who though.They would never give away there real identity.

Also los of famous people on Xbox live,i once played Danny Dyer on World at War free for all for a good 2 hours.He was utter *****.

Probably was Football Manager,The Daily Mail probably mis quoted him,too many foreigners probably play FM for their liking.

 

[askep]

He's probably played the old Championship Manager and just went with a title he knew.

 

[Ultimate FM Fan]

lol he needs to play A REAL GAME (fm10)

 

[Joss]

I wonder if any MANAGERS have played fm??? what are your thoughts guys?

 

[bcfc]

Ancellotti,

He is using Kris' tactic (H)

 

[Mike]

David Moyes has said before that he uses FM (sometimes) to check out potential signings due to SI being accurate on attributes. <)

I can see it now... Avram sitting at his PC late at night, flipping every hour between FM and ****... no wait, that's me XD

I dont know, but Glen should apss a copy of the game to Rafa, he might do something tactically right for once....

 

[fmguy]

Yeah I heard some teams/managers use a search engine similar to the one on FM in real life to find players.

 

[Clarkey101]

Everton use the database as a scouting technique. Bit random, but interesting, nonetheless?

everton actually have an exclusive contract to see SI scout reports and new databases first

 

[rugrat123]

i wonder if wenger uses it

 

[Quietus]

SI do a very good job in scouting players. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of managers use it to add to their club scouting

 

[croatsouljah]

I remember reading somewhere David Moyes used FM09s database to scout some players. Wonder if he has had a look at Srna and Vagner Love

 

[Aannddyy]

I think a lot of footballers and managers do play CM/Fm. In fact even Abramovich plays FM, Jamie Redknapp said it on TV the other day. To be honest I don't know a guy who likes football and has never played a CM/FM game.. It's so beautiful :'D

 

[Eddie Money]

SI have pretty good scouts, i'd be suprised if a lot of teams didnt use it. i swear FM is why west ham ended up with tevez and mascherano tbh...
