What are the best teams to start your FIFA player career mode?
What ive found is that if you start with a mexican league team, you get loaned after 3 games.This is GREAT.Why?Because they send you to a lower league, where you are the best player. Right off the bat you can have more play time than those who were there before you. It's a playground to develop your player super fast.When i finished at Dundee FC we won the league and cup, my rating was at 78. When i returned to Toluca i finished the league, but transfered out.Why?My player grew to 84 and was signed to Wolfsburg. Which limited my growth, but offered more prestige. Winning the champions cup, Deutsche pokal, and some other cups along the way.Before i transfered out from Wolfsburg to Arsenal, i even won the World Cup for Mexico.Arsenal then bid for me and gave me 150k per week to my 90k. Now I'm trying to win this league and whatever cup comes after, hopefully i get scouted by Barcelona or Real Madrid.Though, for the prestige…update: im not sure if my other comment was posted, but yeah… i got scouted by real madrid. i wanted barcelona but they didnt make an offer.if you want a starting role in the mexican league instantly pick lobos buap team, theyre lowly rated and you will probably be able to get a starting position. i chose toluca, because im a fan.the mexican league is easy enough to grow, but competitive enough to be noticed. on a separate run i got scouted by dortmund and i stayed 2 years before playing for real madrid, i got offers for bayern and manchester united but i prefered dortmund.
Who owns Real Madrid and FC Barcelona?
That is an easy one. The Real Madrid is a sporting club that belong to its "socios/members", like other two clubs in Spain - Barcelona and Atletico de Bilbao. I'm "socio" of the Real Madrid. Every 4 years the members of the club vote to choose a new president between the others members.The team have around 80.000 socios. The "socios" pay every year a money (similar to a season ticket) to see the team and to use the sporting installations. Many years ago that was the principal support for the team, but now the principal support are the TV rights and the merchandaising.The Real is the team that win more money with the Pay per view in spain. Also the team have its own TV channel, that is the soccer club TV channel with more subscribers in the world.The Real is the most famous club in the world or at least the one with best history (i've been subjetive but i think that is true). The team was named for FIFA the best soccer club of the history and Brazil the best national team of the history. This is mean a lot support around the world and a great money in merchardaising. The RM make a recent study with the result that the team have around 70 million of loyal supporters around the world. That is a very big money and the Real is taking advantage of that like the manchester did beforeCurrently the president of Real Madrid is F. Perez. No one person or business group "owns" FC Barcelona.As mentioned earlier, 155,000 "socis" ("socios" or "members") who each pay up to €140 annually for the privilege. The socis govern the club by electing a president of the board of directors every four years. Randomly selected members are appointed to serve as delegates to the general assembly, which approves the annual budget. Most Spanish clubs, including Real Madrid, are run in the same manner. Among the many advantages Barcelona members receive include... -- up to 20% discount on tickets for most matches. -- 5-10% off merchendise from FCBotiga, the club's store. -- free stadium and museum tours. -- free access to open training sessions held at the Mini-Estadi. and many other perks. The current elected president of FC Barcelona is Joan Laporta.
With many players changing clubs frequently, what are the biggest examples of loyalty shown by players? Football (soccer) in particular?
I can't believe no one has talked about Lionel Messi.According to me, he's the most loyal player in the history of football.At the age of 11, Messi was diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency (GHD). This was a condition that stunted growth, and required expensive medical treatment.Local club, River Plate were interested in signing Messi, but didn’t want to pay for his medical treatment. However, Messi was given a trial with Barcelona, and they offered Messi a contract (written on a paper napkin!) which included paying for Messi’s treatment. “I made a lot of sacrifices by leaving Argentina, leaving my family to start a new life. But everything I did, I did for football, to achieve my dream. That’s why I don’t go out partying, or do a lot of other things.” – Lionel MessiHis incredible achievements since then, is well-known to the world. So, I won't be talking much about it.One of them is his jaw-dropping goal-scoring record. In 2012, he broke the all time world record for most goals scored in a calendar year. He scored an unbelievable 91 goals– beating the previous record of 85 by German Gerd Muller, and Pele’s milestone of 75 in 1958.“I have seen the player who will inherit my place in Argentine football and his name is Messi." – Diego MaradonaMessi has frequently been the target of other football clubs with big transfer budgets, but he has remained loyal to Barcelona FC.“Barcelona is my life. They have brought me to where I am today. I could not leave, I don’t want to leave. I know the Premier League is very good. But I cannot see myself playing in England because my heart is with Barcelona, always.” - Lionel MessiChelsea's £118m (€150m) bid Report: Chelsea Made £118M Messi Offer £205m Messi bid: Unnamed Russians willing to double world record transfer fee to buy Barca starMessi turns down whopping £460,000-a-WEEK deal after Anzhi trigger his £205m Barcelona release clause (The deal would've eclipsed the world record fee of £80m rivals Real Madrid paid for Cristiano Ronaldo)Three clubs made offers for Messi this summerAnd he recently signed signed a two-year extension to his current deal that will keep him at the Camp Nou for at least another five years.All this clearly shows that loyalty is one of the many admirable qualities that Lionel Messi possesses.
