Championship Manager 01/02
is the pinnacle of football management gaming . If you play on the final official SI Games data patch, version 3.9.68 , you know the game drastically changed. Famous original database (3.9.60) cheat codes like Tó Madeira were deleted entirely. Other legendary wonderkids like Mark Kerr or Maxim Tsigalko either disappeared or had their superhuman stats heavily nerfed.
- Tonton Zola Moukoko (M/AM C): The ultimate CM legend. Buy him for next to nothing, play him in the reserves for a year, and he becomes the best player in the world history.
- Cherno Samba (SC): Starts very young, scores 30+ goals a season by age 19.
- Mads Jorgensen (M/AM LC): Often available for a tribunal fee. Becomes a frighteningly good winger/playmaker.
- Kenneth Høie (GK): A Swedish goalkeeper who starts at Stabæk. For £40k-£300k, you get a keeper who will be world-class for 15 years.
- Kim Källström (M C): Usually available for around £1m (via tribunal or small bid). A technically perfect midfielder.

- GK: Standard
- DL/DR: Run forward
- DCs: No run
- DMC (Kerr): Hold up ball
- MCs (Källström & one runner): Mixed passing
- AMC: Forward runs often
- SC (Tsigalko & Aghahowa): Go back on closing down.
