Bloody work permits! I've signed Koroman and Srna yet neither can play due to them not having permits. How often can you apply?

All you have to do is often them a new contract and a new application will be sent in. However, you'll need to send them out on loan or to a feeder club first and then just keep offering them new contracts whenever you can be bothered and hopefully they'll get one (usually it happens after a season out on loan, though I have had some who need another season, sometimes even another two seasons, before they get their permit).

Belgian clubs are quite good for permits, they take about 3 seasons.

It's either that or they start playing a lot of games for their country.

I am in my fourth season and Lebhong Mokoena still cant get a work permitt. He has spent all this time at club brugge where he has played out of his skin. I keep offering the contract and the work permitt keeps getting turned down. No other club wants him either. Now there's 4m I will never see again

[Eddie]

That is very odd. I find Mokoena is very tough to get a work permit for, but some big French clubs usually take him on loan.

Its annoying that the computer players seem to be able to get work permits for everyone

[Rovermatt]

It's infuriating. Srna especially is a regular in the Croation national team. I've just forked out £6.2m for him and he's not able to play!

The tip on renewing contracts isn't working. Srna's application keeps getting turned down. Has anyone made any progress?

[Eddie]

Just give him time at a feeder club or out on loan, it changes from player to player and game to game.

My tip is Dont buy him in the first place, my rule is if a player who i can sign but dosent automatically recieve apermit is anything above backup then dont sign him, if he is young and cheap sign him up and loan him out. dont sign a player for the amount you mentioned without a permit. I signed Esequal garay ( top 5 CB 2009 onwards) for Rovers and didnt play a game for me until his contact was about to expire.

A hint on Srna sign Bale , Baines, Taylor ( Wigan ) before you sign expensive foreigners who cant get a permit, all can be brourght for the same or less and are British

[Shabani]

Couple of good full backs are

Ronny from Athletico

Eduardo Ratinho from Corinthians

As I said Eddie, I have had him at my Feeder club for 4 seasons now and its not worked.

What is annoying is that I am going to let him go on a free and the minute I do another Prem club will get him for free with permitt - there you go, an 8.5m player for nowt. Hang on, that sounds exactly like Rovers - what a top game :ph34r:

[tcj_jones]

Wolverine, Pocognoli is amazingly versatile and soon turns into a "wonderkid." Don't send him to a feeder club, have him as a first teamer or back up player and train him to become a winger; his stats are better suited to this position. Left back or left wing, he is a superb buy for only 750k - 1.5m. I haven't played more than a season but I wouldn't be surprised if he rockets in value. He is only 19 remember.

[phildixon]

how do you sign people when they get when they get work permits refused, i have had a couple of class south americans accept contracts and get work permits refused but i still want to sign them, i am accy so it will be good to sign them even if they cant play, so annoying bloody work permits!!!

Read back through this thread mate - lots of us are having WP problems and there isnt a lot that can be done about it

[Rovermatt]

I'm into the close-season. Do you get another official attempt to get work permits or is the offer of a new contract the only way of doing it?

[AndyH16]

The way I've read about it on the SIGames forums you may also get a message to say they've been granted one. But I'm yet to see that.

[Cocker]

Has anyone used the data editor this year. Normally they have a nice little gui for you to change things in however, this year it dosnt look so good - or am I missing something here (I am in my 4th season now and even though I sent them my pic I dont seem to be in it so I am going to put myself in like I do every year )

[brfc_jonesy]

few awesome players i found

Jo - Cska Moscow

Bojan - Barcelona

Vanden Borre - Anderlecht

Diaby - Arsenal, he becomes amazing definatly worth persuing

Djrouru however you spell it from arsenal is awesome

Viana - Valencia i find is worth a purchase relatively cheap,

cant remember the others, hope this is some help to people

Is it worth me upgrading from FM 2006?

And can you save the patches onto a disc/memory stick/CD ? I don't want to load it onto this computer.

Yes to both

[Billy Castell]

gutted lost to chelski in cl final

[promoted2001]

anyone having crashing problems? Updated my game and now it keeps crashing around June/July. Using a save game that was started during the first installation.

[tcj_jones]

Can't say I am mate, but I was just wondering if anybody had any tips for beating the top clubs.

I am currently Arsenal and won the league in my first season. I'm doing very well in my second season, but I never seem to be able to beat Man UTD, Chelsea or Liverpool either at home or away. It was the same on the old game, although on the old game I could have an editor made team of the best players in the game and would still be 3-0 down to Man Utd withing 15 minutes! They've made it better, but not much.

Anyway, any tips? Maybe I'm playing too attacking? Maybe I should employ a defensive mifielder? What does it taker to actually beat them!!
