Yo, who is Aquino, and what year are you in?
I'm in December 2011. Aquino is a young Spaniard who plays striker and AML, but I trained him to play AMC and he's very good there, too.

He came from Murcia in Spain. Don't know if he is any good on FM09, but in FM08 he becomes a quality player.

I have NO idea why i couldn't! i used my usual 4-3-1-2, which works great in the league. i used 4-5-1, 3-5-2, 3-3-4, 2-4-4, but they ALWAYS won. of course i had KILLini injured along with my first choice RB Marco Motta! but they always stuck with a 4-4-2 and managed to score goals! and after losing to them twice in the CL Final before, i couldn't afford a 3rd one!

They're probably the most difficult to beat in 09, it's kind of ridiculous. how is Mascio btw? I considered buying him, but spent the money on slightly better CMs from Germany and the Netherlands. he was tempting though!

scored goals in his first 5 games, is a poacher when it comes to free kicks, and he's generally had a good overall rating. regarded as having potential to be a quality player! so i would suggest you buy him if you can.

lol, this one was close. I was leading 1-2 v Siena to take the lead in Serie A, and Rafinha scored an own goal at the 93'; Immediately after that, Camo sends a long ball to Amauri who scores his hattrick goal to give me the three points!

Sheikh - your losing to arsenal because your team is not good enough.

1. Zapata is not a RB, no matter what his status says.
2. Varmealen, Bolzoni & Mascio are mid-table players.
3. De Ceglie is no good in the game.
4. Matias Fernandez is very average in FM09, was much better in 08.
5. Sanchez is not a striker with his crapy finishing, but he's good on the wings.

1: My 1st choice RB, Marco Motta, was injured. so had to play him there instead of De Silvestre, who is kinda average.
2: Vermealen was bought as a backup, and Chiellini was injured. Bolzoni has potential, and Mascio is one of my best MC's this season.
3: DC's awesome! very consistent. almost always gets at least a 7 rating.
4: he's been very good for me, doesnt seem average at all.
5: He's my top scorer, beating Quagigol, Aguero, and Cabanas, who's on loan btw.

I'm managing Italy in my FM08 game, after taking England to a 2010 World Cup victory I resigned when the Italy job came open. They hadn't been doing good and were ranked 17th int he world.

I qualified for the 2012 Euro Champ. and have been given a 3rd seed.

My group:

France
Spain
Italy
Greece

Easily the group of death in this tournament.

I'm in my 2nd FM season ever. In the first season I was sacked from Werder Bremen - I was 11th in the league, out in the quartes in the cup, and lost against Chelsea in the round of last 16 in the CL. So I guess I deserved it.

In the summer I took the leading position at Cavese (C1B). Loaned some upcoming stars and managed to sign good ol' Giovanni Tedesco. Season started well with a draw against Crotone and a win at Avellino.

There is a lot of pressure when you start a game at a bigger club. You are likely to get more time at a smaller club.
