• PA: 169 (but random – check scouting)
• Real world: Never became a star. Played lower league Danish football.

• Example: A 36-year-old Sergio Agüero coming back from retirement, or Vincent Kompany as a player-manager.
• Verdict: This is fun for nostalgia but lacks the thrill of developing the youth.

• Sign young talent early to avoid competition; offer 3–5 year deals with reasonable wages.
• Include sell-on clauses and appearance-based bonuses for smaller clubs.
• Target free or low-fee transfers from South America in opening windows; demand compensation later once reputation increases.
• Protect with development-friendly environment: reserve matches, individual training schedules, mentoring from senior pros.

• The Verdict: He becomes a colossal leader. Fast, strong, and brave. He captained a thousand FM06 sides to Champions League glory.

• Use formations that maximize their strengths (e.g., 4-2-3-1 for creative #10s, 4-3-3 for pacy wingers).
• Let creative youngsters roam in advanced roles—control via player instructions rather than removing freedom completely.
• Bring them on against tired defenses late in matches to exploit pace and flair.
