His football champions card however is pretty pedestrian. At 116 points he isn't the most cost effective player. Sure his shot is an 8 but really that's about it. Star power should be higher, at least a 10.

Jesper
I don't really know why I enjoy Jesper Gronkjaer, but I do. I would always transfer him to whatever club I was managing in FIFA. Maybe I had an affinity for Danish players? More than likely I really just enjoyed his name.

Adidas Promos
I've not updated in quite some time (par for the course I guess). However I've acquired quite a few new Football Champions cards.
As you (does anyone read this?) may have guessed by the title I finally it my Adidas Italian Promos. I post in the group for Football Champions on Facebook and was linked to them off eBay. In a nice drunken haze I purchased both Trezeguet and Del Piero without even looking at the prices. $40 and two weeks later I had my cards. Honestly I'm not the biggest Trez fan, however the Del Piero is the sexiest card ever. Now they currently sit in a binder which I look through once a month, maybe. Worthy purchase....of course!

On another note, I've found two places that people actively trade for Football Champions cards. The first is a soccer card board:
http://s13.zetaboards.com/Football_Cards/topic/6847508/1/
The second is a group on Facebook simply titled "Football Champions". The group page's main image is the 2001-2002 Italian starter set. The only issue for the group is its entirely in Italian. However it's 2012 and with translators all over the place, it's a bit easier to try and trade.
I'll post more this time now that my phone can blog.

team Selection
I've never really put together a team in Football Champions. Honestly, I have no idea where I'd start. Actually, scratch that, I would get a solid core up the middle. Give me me a top drawer centre back, midfielder, and a killer forward.
I figure this would be the place to go over any ideas/team formations I'd have when building a team. All the potential strategies and players to pick from will give more interaction between myself and....uhhh yeah, myself.
However, someone I know from prior sport card games (sup MLB Showdown) wrote a great piece on his website. It's worth the read, I promise.

Guiseppe
Why have only one, when you can have 8?
(Which is as nearly as many cards as he had goals in the '99/2000 season)
