Barnetboyz Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 i will be looking to play a 3-4-3 formation with Podolski feeding off headers from target men Klose & Toni.. if i get to a 2nd season then i will most likely sell one or both of them to revert to a simple more tactic.. thats if i get get rid of Lahm in the mean time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

killface Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 killfaceReal have bid for Ribery. He has an assist rate of 17 in the league and we have just got to the end of December. What do i do? I sold him for 25m + 50%, looking back, I probably shouldn't have. He's probably the best right winger that Bayern can get. Slory did take over just fine for him, but now that I'm having a lot of trouble finding a world class right wing that will come to me, I'm looking to buy back Ribery. So, if you need the money and you can squeeze a lot of money out of Madrid, do it. If Wijnaldum is progressing well, he can play RW really well, it's how he got most of his insane amounts of assists playing there. I can't say enough good things about Slory, especially in your tactic with wingers moving in to striker spots. He usually puts up a lot of goals if I play him going there. I can actually get Nani right now, but he would cost me around 50 mil and I don't think I can bring myself to do that. Check out Quaresma too, I don't watch any Portuguese league, so I don't hate him as much as it seems some people do. If you can get him for around 10m I think he'd be a worthy replacement.

killface Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 good luck BB might I reccomend you replace your starting MCs. I went for Defour (brilliant) and Fellaini (gets the job done) Also it may be a brilliant strikeforce but its aging with Toni hitting 31 and Klose hitting 30 in second season Welcome aboard guys!! Looks like Megafan and I pulled in some new people. Signing Defour or VDV is a good idea, since they're cheap for how great they are, but I wouldn't say spend a lot of money on an AMC first season. Jose Sosa played brilliantly for me actually. He usually had about 8 goals and 8 assists in about 20 league matches. Plus you'll have Toni Kroos coming up to take over in a season or two. Also you probably shouldn't get rid of Lahm so quickly, he's quite immense at either fullback spot. I had Dani Alves and Kolarov and Lahm still started for me 80-90% of the time. I'm kind of biased because I love him IRL though. Ohhh combining Mega's and my advice you could play a 4-3-3 with a wide midfield. That would be pretty great, since you start with very strong wingers that can play AM too. Plus you have two great fullbacks that can attack and play defense really well.

Barnetboyz Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 well i can't decide on a tactic so the game already looks doomed the 3-4-3 has gone out the window as i would have to bring in a good few back ups.. and a 4-4-2 just seems well to plain /o\ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fataldinho Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Starting my own Bayern game after wanting something new. I told the board I'd win the league and after asking for more budget on transfers and wages, I start with 23 to spend. Of course I will be boosting it by player sales. I'll be using the same tactic I used with my Arsenal save which is a 4-2-2-2 with the midfielders playing in the centre (tight) and wingers playing as AML/AMR's. So far the squad looks like this. GK: Musterman*/Rensing RB: Lell/ LB: Lahm/Jansen CB: Lucio*/Demichelles CB: Breno/Van Buyten* CM: Van Bommel*/Sosa CM: Ottl/Kroos RW: Ribery LW: Schweinsteiger/Ze Roberto* FC: Toni/Podolski FC: Klose/Schaudraff Players with stars will be sold/released ASAP and I'll bring in cheaper replacements. Lucio -> Samba Van Buyten -> Cuellar Van Bommel -> Meireles Ze Roberto -> Farfan After that I'll be looking to strengthen full backs, another centre back and possibly another young goalkeeper.

If you're not adversed to the corner "cheat" put Lucio on it. He won world footballer of the year first season because of it. Sold him for 20 m +35% sell on in January. I'd also say use Lahm at Rb and Jansen at Lb, they are a great combo. Otherwise, good luck nice to have people jumping on board. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fataldinho Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I'm not adversed to it, but Samba has better heading and jumping than Lucio, and costs about 1/5 of what I want for him. 15m is an acceptable value of him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnetboyz Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 ok.. have decided i'm gonna try a 4-2-2-2 tactic which will go terribly \o/ have decided to sell Sosa for 7M and bring in Zapatar for the same money.. also looking to bring in Felipe for my goalkeeper and maybe VDV for my other AMC.. has anyone ever played Ribery as a AMC? does he do well there?

killface Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Jesus Navas is nothing special with his pace he would be deadly on the wings but his crossing stat is averageMartinez has been toned down from the next Cesc Fabregas on 8.0.0 to a solid midfielder but I prefer Steven Defour Celsinho ive never tried tbh. Ilsinho is a brilliant player in the game and would aid you in that he is pretty versatile Ashley Young is not good enough IMO Felipe from Udinese i guess is a quality DC but make sure he doesnt get in the way of youths developing. Other reccomendations would be Asamoah Gyan as a winger if you like them to cut in side (Rarely cross high through ball) Marco Borrielo as a backup striker. Nadir Belhadj as a winger. Lucas Biglia. Jonas Gutierrez as a backup winger on either side. Havard Nordtveit should become an excellent DC by time you hit the 4th season as well Palombo is a great DMC if you play one. Mario Santana is a great AMR Also Cigarini is a very decent MC Im nearly into January second season and am really enjoying this save. Oops, never saw this, sorry. Thanks for the recomendations, Belhadj and Gyan are two I've really wanted to sign so if I sell Jansen, I'll pick him up. I need an RW, so I'll see if he's moved. I love Palombo, but he's at Madrid so that's unlikely. I think I might sign ever Banega instead since he can play my defensive MC or attacking MC, Valencia kept offering him for Wij, so I put in a test bid and can get him for like 10m. I think I might sign Celsinho as a back up since he's only like 5 mil and has 20 for technique. Never heard of Borrielo, but I'll check him out. I already have 4 strikers and would have 5 potentially with Gyan. My team is thin right now, but not too thin so Banega, Belhaj, and Gyan would probably wrap things up till January. Works into my goal, since I've never owned any of them. I believe it would make all my starters new people for me too. My team will look like this next season. -------------------Podolski/Saivet-----------Ashton/Babel--------------- Shweinsteiger/Babel-----Lucas/Didot/Banega-----Kroos/Marin----Gyan/Slory Kolarov/Jansen------Breno/Nordtveit-------Sakho/Bourillon-------Lahm/Clerc -----------------------------Ochoa/Hart----------------------------------- Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
