CM 01/02 iirc. Arca, Macho and Medina always turned out to be world beaters in that one.

Arca and Medina shared the captaincy in my all conquering Sunderland side. Juan Carlos Valeron, Stefan Selakovic, Kim Kalmstrom, Michael Dobson, a centre half from South America whose name escapes me - great lads. :lol:

Cant remember the exact champ but Cristiano Ronaldo and Ronaldinho were well predicted at Sporting Lisbon and Gremio in Champ. Javier Saviola and Martin Palermo were also pretty well sourced at 16 and ended up playing in Spain at some point.

Most of those guys were always showing signs of being on an upward trajectory in 2018 tbf. Football Manager is the daddy in terms of predicting unknowns to be stars, clubs are even using it as a legitimate scouting database these days.

Champ man definitely had some big misses. The newer FM games get it spot on 99 times out of 100.

About the same hit rate as FourFourTwo imo

The list features future World Cup winners as well as Ballon d'Or nominees.

I had Anelka score 120 goals in a single season on FM and 200 total with him and Jeffers. Farnerud, Aghahowa, Ronaldinho behind them. All out attack every game. We won everything
 
To Madeira and was it Andri Sigporsson who were legends. I know the first one was made up. Michael Duff, Carl Laurie and Billy Jones (aye, that one) were fantastic when they were at Cheltenham and Crewe.

Aye Billy Jones was always a must buy for Sunderland, could get him for cheap.

We should focus our scouting on Fifa and FM. Possibly Sensible Soccer for a laugh.

I remember Phil Gray being our only player valued at more than £1m. Used to score loads with my striker so his value would rise and everyone else's just plummeted. Think it was Sensible World of Soccer.

Fifa, not so much, the list you wrote was very obvious.

FM absolutely, when you consider what the actual database is, its no surprise. The network they have can not be competed against by a singular club.

I've never quite understood how they fact check it though to make sure the stats are accurate. Wasn't there one when Kevin Kyle was randomly made absolutely class? For smaller clubs they must have to pretty much just go off the say so of whoever compiles it (and even then I'd probably overestimate SAFC players and such likes). I know they do get it pretty accurate, but always wondered how

They buy the version 2 or 3 years after to see if they improve
