Transfer Market You can attempt to purchase any of the 10,000 players in FIFA 2004 Career Mode. To bid for a player, it costs prestige points as well as money if your bid is accepted.

Team News You can check up on your team here, all current injuries are listed along with how serious the injury is and when the player is expected to return to action.

Should you fail in your quest to earn 1000 prestige points you will be sacked from the club. It is possible to lose prestige points, for example being relegated could cost you 400 points. Some examples of objectives including finishing in a certain position, i.e. champions, top half or even not relegated! Other may be to do with positive and negative goal difference.
