As this FAQ/Walkthrough is quite long I recommend using the search feature
which is Control + F and then type in the beginning of the section of the
part of the guide you are looking for so for example 2) for the version
history of this FAQ/Walkthrough.
**************************************************************************
**************************************************************************
{ 1. } Introduction
**************************************************************************
The Hole Reason for me to do this FAQ on Fantasy Mode is to help you out
to build your team up to the best you can and to do well during the course
of your game. Fantasy Mode is a little hard to get going but with this
help I hope it make it a bit more easier for you
Just to add to this on the fact of the Formations they are simply multipul
formations you can have with this team that I have choose and no other
chosen team
**************************************************************************
{ 2 } Building The Team
**************************************************************************
Just to inform you on the basic set up of this team. It is a young team
that I have aimed for the most so the money factor of the team ends rather
low and costs alot for the players that I was able to get. From this the
team will not be amazing unless you gewt it right with them and watch
various things like there Fitness and train them in the right ways. The
team is on a average age of 23/24 so that must show what I have tryed
and I belive only 1 player is over that age and that is Larsson. From that
this team may not be right for you if you are not a great manager as in
looking at stats ect. But thats up to you to decide. Oh I finished 1st
in my season with them thats why I belived they was a good team to have
and a long future :)
Team:
GK - A Isaksson -  A young Goalkeeper but yet he is worth to be the first
keeper. He has great stats and great ability's to become
a even better player. He has a long time left in him
and will build to a great player.
GK - D Marshall -  He always seems to get in my teams but as for him even
younger then Isaksson so he is worth a Reserve place on
the bench. Ok you can replace him for another keeper but
whilst he was playing for me and the keeper was injured
he was great. He has good stats and good to play against
the lower teams. Great future in him.
D  - S. Lanna    - A new player that I have found out. 27 years old. Yeh
that goes of my young players but he is a great on to
have. Better then all the others I could find and young
as well. Left Footed of course and plays in Left Defence.
He is amazing to have there and you would agree.
D  - V. Komapany - Many of you must have had Vincent in your team at some
time. 18 years old soon to be world class. Why not have
him. Dosnt cost to much and is well worth it for the
future and now. To put in to prospective he is even
better then John Terrys stats on Lma Manager 06 in most
areas.
D  - A.V.D Borre - 16 years old. Man he is well class to have in your team.
Like Vincent he dose come from Anderletch and yes they
are both the best rated Defenders at that age. Cost 3.6
Million and soon to be a star in the game for you.
D  - H. Trabelsi - A new player to me. 27 years old Right Back with
amazing skills. Around the same skill as Lanna.
D  - L. Mitreski - A ok player here. Not one of the best for this
position but good enough out of the ones I could find
to go here for a Sub/ Reserve player. His stats are not
highly great but still they are good as for what I just
said.
D  - N. De Jong  - 19 Year old defender. Not great but the main reason I
got him into the team was as he is young and as for
seeing his stats for the price of him he is worth it.
He has a lot to come up to. As you got better defenders
he is more suited to a hard start in the 11 and wont
play often but still non of the worse a great player
for the weaker games.
D  - Bosschaart  - Basically the same as Mitreski as he is not great but
for the current team he is a great player to have as a
sub.
MF - H. Vianna   - You look at him and don't find much Overall Stats on
him but inside is a great player and very young at the
same time. Sure he is missing somethings but there are
other things he is even better at then others and that
is great for a youngster to have.
MF - R. Russel   - 21 year youngster here. Well his tackling and marking
ability's are on of the best in your team and even a team
like Villia or someone like that would love this player.
Young and strong as hell.
MF - C. Obodo    - Rated to play all over the filed but more of a right
footed player. Hid ability's I believe are more suited
in the middle as like Russel he is strong. As again
young so he can always improve to be even better. The
only problem with this player is his current stamina
rating is rather poor and that may have come a problem
for you at sometime.
MF - C. Alberto  - 19 year old again here. Well worth it with his ratings
and ability's but like Obodo he has a problem with his
stamina and that may have come a problem for you sometime.
MF - Linderoth   - Great player. Not as good as Russel but he is Left Footed
and can play in the center of mid unlike Russel who is left
and not as suited the position. He wants a place in the
team and he will get it but as it goes he is not my main
man but great to swap at half time with Russel when he is
tired.
MF - A. Bastia   - Worth it all the way here but not as good as the other 2
in the center. Righ footed player that will get the game
and sometimes good to swap him with Obodo at half time when
he is even tired. Not a let down player.
MF - C. Burke    - 20 year old. Not amazing at all as he is probably the worst
player on the team of the top of my head. The main reason
I got him was as he is young and has a future in your team.
You can choose someone else for that money that is left from
him but he is a future but not as much now.
F  - L. Podolski - I do not know as much of him but was recommended for me but
the LMA06 forum. He is a god send at the age of 19. He will
be your main future investment and will be playing all
the time. Well worth it in all ways and will score loads
for you.
F  - H. Larsson  - A old guy had to be somewhere in the team. I got him as
his ratings are good and he has a few years still left in
him. He is the kinda guy to have on the bench in emergency's
or so. He can always replace either 2 upfront other then
him but just lack to age I try not to progress him. You
can get rid and get someone else if you wish.
F  - M. Shatskih - A new guy to me. Not better then the other 2 in the rating
side of it all. Still worth the first place.

{ 4 } Training
**************************************************************************
I myslef have them on Fitness from the start on Hard and have them do that
and just adjust the hardness to to when games are After the first year then
put the on General. If your team is not succeeding then put them on General
straight away.
**************************************************************************
{ 5 } Tranfers
**************************************************************************
I have not brough anyone as I believe there is no need to so I will leave
that disition for you when you get into that part of the game. But if you
do I would suggest loaning players in as it will cost less and be better
for you.
**************************************************************************
{ 6 } Others
**************************************************************************
Other miner things that you may want to do with this team is get all the
directors ect.. put into position of there job that is if you would like
them in there. Also when I started pre-season/stright away I set uyp a
new building to add on to my last one. You should get a good offer sent
to you so you should build stright away but with the current stadium
capasity you will get there is not a big rush on that
**************************************************************************
