Hi, a quick question regarding starting a new game. You see, when I have read FM stories online, many people claim to be using real managers, and have a real picture to match, for example, one story had someone managing an italian team with a real Italian player, it had his real picture and the news article roughly said "TEAM have announced PLAYER as their new manager, he had XX caps for his country"

So how is this done? Do you create a normal manager and then edit him/her with FMRTE? Because I would love to start a managerial career with someone like Paul Scholes.

Thank you!

Yep

I had fun playing as David Beckham once, Started out with the England U19's before going on to manage Blackburn and later Man United.

Cheers, is there a guide on how to swap your manager with a real person on FMRTE as I've never used this editor?

You can't swap them, You need to go into the editor and delete whoever you want to be, In your case Paul Scholes, Otherwise there will be two ginger gremlins running around.

Make sure when you save the editor date you do 'save as' and give it a name otherwise you will overwrite the default data and Scholes as a player will be gone for good.
