the SLC Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 i have finished season 1 and somehow i managed to win the league on the last day of the season. i beat west ham away and Chelsea lost to arsenal. was a difficult and frustrating season. relied on my 442 tactic for about 95% of games but then made a very basic 4231 for the last few games as was getting annoyed during games. not sure how to make the tactic any better so for season two i may get better quality players in. i also played some players out of position and in unsuitable positions for a lot of the season so that could have possibly played a part in a poor season. went out early in both domestic cups but have just beaten real madrid in champions league final 3-2 (playing the basic 4231) andreas pereira was my top goal score throughout with 21 goals including a hat-trick in champs league final. good player glad i have him but with all the forward talent at united im a little disappointed it wasnt one of them.

I was tried to negotiate to get him on a free but he was wanting to match the ridiculous £875k/week he was on and I decided I didn't want a 33 year old making more than my top-paid player (Pogba on £350k/week). I mean, I'm sure if I put all my budgets towards wages I could get him (got like £400m transfer budget and £700k spare wages how its set right now) but like @xenqi I'm more likely to go for Mbappe, even though Messi would be an improvement in a position where there's room for improvement (As a wide playmaker ahead of Havertz and Gomes) whereas Mbappe would be keeping out one of Martial or Rashford in a striker position. Plus, I'd never manage PSG but would consider managing Barcelona, so makes more sense to blow my money on Mbappe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DM-BWM - Kante (can be got 1st season for around 90m, Chelsea will even accept installments) backed up by Lucas Tousart (better attributes for the BWM role tbh, but Kante is a better all-round footballer). AMR-W - I used Martial as W-Su on FM18, but I'd say you're looking at Chiesa 1st choice, then one of the Sancho or Pulisic from Dortmund, until you can get Mbappe as first choice ahead of Chiesa. Dalot isn't rapid for a full back - I think he's on 15 for both acc and pace for me - but he's brilliant after a year or so. Most top full backs have some area of their game missing to prevent them being like Dani Alves at his peak - either not good enough offensively, or defensively, or injury prone. I ended up with Nelson Semedo to rotate with him after 1 season of Valencia (who performs well enough). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd get rid of "Runs With Ball Often" if you sign him though as he doesn't have any of the necessary attributes for it. I don't think you'll necessarily find a better natural BWM than Tousart though - you'll have to search by attributes, which is why I recommended Kante.

Jupmachine Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) Decent result this. Ended up losing the final against the scousers 1-0 with a jammy last minute goal, but managed to win the league with 101 points, and the FA Cup. I've accepted £75mil for De Gea even though I dont want to sell him really, but he wants to leave anyway. Anyone got a suggestion for a replacement? Using Henderson at the moment, but I'm worried he doesnt have the required class to take over full time. Edited January 5, 2019 by Jupmachine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sedge11 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 So been a little while since updated. But season 1 is finished, it wasn't a bad season but unfortunately due to my tactic not really working, we just weren't scoring goals in the 1st 2/3 of the season, which meant we kind of struggled in the league, eventually finishing 3rd. However the last 1/3 of the season was good, I tweaked the tactics and the goals started to flow, plus we started dominating possession as well. This meant we got to the fa cup final playing Man city, we had an awful record against them but...… We won the fa cup so finished the 1st season with a trophy. Champs league and Carabao cup, we lost in the semi final of both, with Man city winning both comps. So although we struggled a little in the league, struggled to score for majority of the season, we won a trophy and after tweaks of my tactics, we now play some good stuff, always win the possession stat and now score plenty of goals, so overall I was satisfied and ready to push on in season 2. Onwards to season 2 Here are my transfers Koulibaly and Bailey are 2 players I brought last time and enjoyed using so decided would be the only 2 players I brought again. Semedo for 12 mil is and absolute bargain, and Goretzka is someone I've always liked but never brought. I was happy with the players I sold, I had to pay 100k of Sanchez's wages but apart from that everyone went out pretty easy. Smalling was also released, and Jones is out on loan until the end of his contract. Getting 42mil for Fred was great. My best 11 and tactics for season 2 are: Some of the youngster have done well, Chong in particular has been good, and will look to continue their development. But so far Rashford, Bailey and Pogba have been the standouts. Lindelöf and Koulibaly have formed a great partnership, but 4 signings have been great and fitted in well. We are doing well so far, 2nd in the league after 13 games, with Liverpool top again. We lost to Liverpool early in the season which was annoying but since then, we have been on a great run. 13 games without conceding since that loss. De Gea has played 11 of those, with Henderson playing the other 2. The fixture list has been kind, which has obviously helped but we have taken full advantage of that. We have a tricky December coming though, playing city at home, then Everton, Chelsea and spurs away, along with Aresnal in the quarters of the carabao cup.

Jamesbfc1887 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I felt inspired to start a Man Utd save around mid November when it was quite clear it had gone a bit Pete Tong for Mourinho. So this is how it went. A lot of business done, in and out. Probably too much in all honesty leading to a really poor start to the season, resulting in me only just keeping my job . OUT: IN: A fantastic end to the first season, winning both the league and the FA Cup. Very lucky to win the league with 80 points I might add, to win the league by 3 goals was stressful to say the least. De Gea and Pogba both want to leave because I've sold Phil Jones, as if anybody could possibly be annoyed by selling Phil Jones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
billysafc Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Half season update, the league is a walk in the park, only drawn one game so far. Lingard is smashing to so far, no intention of selling him at all. Scoring and keeping clean sheets is going well. Look at the aggregate score against Arsenal in the semis of the carabao. Across the 3 games we have contested, I am 18-5 up on aggregate. it is a tad boring, but I will keep it going until the final patch comes out I think.

He has been a good rotation option in early seasons but even now I don't want to sell him (at least in third season). He has Home-Grown and if I sell him the fans and other players would become unhappy. Below is my other CB, Smalling wanted a new challenge so I happily let him go to Juventus. Then Real Maldrid swooped in and gave me an offer I could not refuse (44m for Lindelof - 30.5m upfront). The only CB I want atm is De Ligt but Chelsea won't sell him easily.

PaulC2K Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I've just hit an international break, in March 2021, sending 28 players on international duty. Got to my next game, away to Fulham, went to pick my team only to realise i still have 28 players on international duty... They've basically scheduled this fixture (no other PL games) on the exact same day most of the European nations had WC Qualifiers!! My only first-team players were DDG, Tierney, Lindelof (89% condition) & Herrera. Even then, De Gea & Lindelof played WCQ's 48hrs earlier, and all of the reserves/kids who i'd likely give a game at the end of the season, they had a midweek game too, something i'd have sorted out had i known they'd done this. I somehow ended up winning it though, 1-0 with a 89th winner from Herrera but i had to give 7 players shirt numbers, and Greenwood was the only non-first team player who's already made his first team debut. The starting XI had 4x 2-star, and 2x 1.5-star players, and 2 of those were mid-70s for match sharpness. The funny thing is the only thing that bothered me about this mess was that i have won 26 consecutive league games and this looked certain to put an end to it. All the usual suspects have been dropping points to mid-table dross since November, while i've only dropped 4 points all season. So the title isnt at threat, but that run was. I still somehow managed to lose both legs in the LC to Spurs, 3-2 & 0-1. No idea what went wrong, no injury crisis, first team out... just couldnt stop them. That away leg is the only game all season where i'd scored and not won. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then, De Gea & Lindelof played WCQ's 48hrs earlier, and all of the reserves/kids who i'd likely give a game at the end of the season, they had a midweek game too, something i'd have sorted out had i known they'd done this. I somehow ended up winning it though, 1-0 with a 89th winner from Herrera but i had to give 7 players shirt numbers, and Greenwood was the only non-first team player who's already made his first team debut. The starting XI had 4x 2-star, and 2x 1.5-star players, and 2 of those were mid-70s for match sharpness. The funny thing is the only thing that bothered me about this mess was that i have won 26 consecutive league games and this looked certain to put an end to it. All the usual suspects have been dropping points to mid-table dross since November, while i've only dropped 4 points all season. So the title isnt at threat, but that run was. I still somehow managed to lose both legs in the LC to Spurs, 3-2 & 0-1. No idea what went wrong, no injury crisis, first team out... just couldnt stop them. That away leg is the only game all season where i'd scored and not won. Allegedly rigged games. I've tested it out many times on this fm to picking an away game where no matter what you lose or draw 9 times out of 10. And that moment you win or draw someone gets injured or it massively gets your team cocky so your next games are rough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC2K Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Yeah, i cant imagine it has anything designed to bring you down a peg or 2. Im coming to the end of the 3rd season, theres been 13 competitions i could have won, and i've failed to win only 2 of them (P180, W155, D18, L7). The game has had plenty of reasons to smack me back down to earth. Looking at the match info from the Spurs defeat, the first leg away we were unlucky to lose 3-2, the home leg we conceded in the 13th minute and i now recall going too aggressive & desperate. Too arrogant. Over the 2 games, we had 65 shots (25 & 40) but only 21 on target (11 & 10). They had 7 shots on target total. It happens, but im pretty sure i could have handled it far better and not treated them like some 3rd-tier club i could walk all over and overload. Sometimes you get beat by better sides, by mistakes or misfortune, but other times you get beat by your own stupidity. Im pretty sure they scored their goals counter-attacking, and instead of identifying that, i told them to attack more, then stuck an extra striker on. If you look at todays game against Spurs, we won playing with pretty much that same approach, however Spurs saw their weakness after we'd hurt them, and that limited our chances in the 2nd half and kept their dominance. I didnt do that, i let them continue thinking i'll just out-score them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonbyrneno.4 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 What role is everyone using Pogba in? I'm using him in and Advance Playmaker Attack role on the left of a midfield 3, team is doing well but he isn't pulling up any trees in terms of individual performances.

I've used him the same as you, i've tried box to box but he aint that good as he's not the pinnacle of your attacking moves. Roaming playmaker seems decent enough and will probably use him as that the next season in. Cm attack is also a good move but he doesn't act like a playmaker, more of an attacking mid rather than playmaker. But the long shot thing really hightens him, got him to score 17 goals in 7 games cause his long shot is like 17-19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
