When giving a squad number...
do any of you guys here think hard whether they fit to where that number....

i mean Steven Gerrard has retire and the number 8 is a legend...so you guys give any 'legends' numbers to regens or exsisting player....

or to some of who think a number is just a number....

i want to hear your thoughts....
 
Never thought that to be honest, but obviously I wouldnt give them ! I would never be capable of giving away the number 3 shirt at AC Milan ..
 
I always spend time carefully assigning numbers, each number is just a position in my head. I.e. 3 = full back, 13 = back up keeper, 23 = backup striker. I hate sort of 14-19 I try to do them last/ leave to the reserves.

Sometimes I replicate real life, for example I had a french left winger once with a FK taking of about 15/16 a la robert, so the number 32 he had to have.

Never use 13. Ever.
 
Petrov has had the same shirt number for both years of my game so far, and when he gets too old I'm handing down that number to Mauricio Pereyra or Ricky Cortes (regen). Brad Freidel's number I don't really care about though, he's now in my reserves. I don't often think too much when it comes to squad numbers, but some thought does go in on occasion.

I believe my 13 is currently Lauren, who thus far is having a very lackluster season compared to his scorcher last year. Though, to be fair, he's 33 now...

Nesta is my number 13. hes about 34 and really a horrible player lol. But he used to be top class. i dont believe in these kind of superstitions.

Anyway, is there anyway you can retire a certain number?

Think the board does it mate. :)
 
I've never had a squad number retired, tho haven't had a really long game
 
Never had a squad number retired, but when I do come to choose the squad numbers, I must do it, I always have attacking left back's number 11, I like centre mid's number 7/10, never have a number 1/13, players I hate have a number like 69, etc etc etc...
