xray1324 Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 The Great Rebuild is a Man United save that goes back to the 2020/2021 season and moves forward trying to rebuild the season under an untried manager. I wanted to start something new as I lost interest in my other saves. Requirements • Play a freeflowing attacking game with the impetus to get goals and assists from almost all areas. This means using a very aggressive 4-2-4 system. • Have atleast 6 players in the starting 11 who are 24 or younger. (This means we do not use Quick Pick.) • Signings must be 29 years or younger. Sign up to 4 Under 21 players per season and up to 4 players ready to start in the first team on a semi-regular period, but a minimum of 1 of each if possible and given the budget. Goals • Have 0 players in the First Team Squad who are 31 or older. • Regularly qualify for the Champions League. • Attempt to win the league. Achievements (None) August 2020 Results A fairly decent pre-season for the first season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtown1414 Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 As a United fan, they've been rebuilding and stumbling for 11 years running. Hopefully, you can figure it out. Shudder to think if Woodward the "bean counter" is on the board. Good luck. I'll be following. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xray1324 Posted April 7, 2023 Author Share Posted April 7, 2023 September 2020 Results Really good first month in the league, finishing with 3 wins from 3 games, seperated from Tottenham by only Goal Difference. Match of the Month This was a really good match all things considered, even though it wasn't a league match I'm still happy to beat Arsenal this way.

xray1324 Posted April 7, 2023 Author Share Posted April 7, 2023 Pre-Season Transfer Window In Gaetano Castrovilli Tall presence in midfield, though he's not exactly shown any ability to finish yet, though he is performing well in the team with 2 starts from 4. Hopefully he will get a goal or two in the coming months. Gerard Moreno Added some solid depth into our attack since we are using 4 attackers as part of our tactic, and he's actually done pretty well which is as expected of him, 3 goals from 4 starts. Not bad in the cups either! Alessio Romagnoli Not had a chance to start since he was brought in on the deadline day, though looks very solid all things considered, and might be a starting pair with Maguire in defence. Good leadership too, and looks good in all areas. Out Slow outs all things considered, but we did get 2 names out of the door, with more to come in January. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xray1324 Posted April 8, 2023 Author Share Posted April 8, 2023 New Tactic A key thing to say is that this isn't our primary tactic, this is just a more laidback tactic to use when our players are struggling for fitness. October 2020 Results We're still managing to hold onto 1st, though that could easily change with some results as we've had our first loss of the season against Tottenham.

xray1324 Posted April 8, 2023 Author Share Posted April 8, 2023 November 2020 Results Rather incredibly, our tactics are working a treat and we're top of the league with 10 games played, 8 wins. We've conceded only 8 goals this season, too. Awards Match of the Month This was quite the victory against Newcastle with 5 goals. Fantastic stuff.

xray1324 Posted April 9, 2023 Author Share Posted April 9, 2023 January 2021 Results We're doing pretty well in the league, though we could easily slip to 2nd or 3rd. The top 5 is actually really tight so we can't slip up much if we want to finish in the top 4. It is unfortunate we couldn't get further than the Semi-Final of the Carabao Cup, though. Awards January Transfer Window In Orsolini Fairly good all-round player in Orsolini, though potentially not a regular starter in all honesty. I regret going for him when Niklas Sule was available for cheap, but I couldn't go for both which would breach our cap for the season of 4 main team players. Out Decided to loan out Brandon Williams and Axel Tuanzebe to get some gametime under their belts. Nemanja Matic may well be leaving too hopefully. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xray1324 Posted April 10, 2023 Author Share Posted April 10, 2023 February 2021 Results We're doing pretty good still, holding onto 1st with 1 point separating us and 3rd/2nd. Awards Match of the Month This was a really good match that shows how strong we are when we switch to the 4-2-4, but it's not fit for purpose long term as it tires out the players. I already have a planned tactic for next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xray1324 Posted April 10, 2023 Author Share Posted April 10, 2023 Youth Intake Justin Hodge Decent spread of attributes, but his personality is balanced. Not great. Lacking in pace or finishing, so won't be a great finisher, but might be worth sométhing in the later years. Ross Stewart Again, decent spread of attributes and has a better set of physicals, but nothing special in finishing. His personality is worse, though! The rest are being signed anyways, but not worth looking at their attributes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xray1324 Posted April 10, 2023 Author Share Posted April 10, 2023 March 2021 Results Well, we just started losing all of a sudden. Great. We drop down to 4th, and I'm going to try out a new tactic that I was hoping I could wait until the start of next season for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xray1324 Posted April 11, 2023 Author Share Posted April 11, 2023 Awards End of Season Report Romagnoli proved to be the star signing of the season, and the other players in Orsolini and Castrovilli proved to be usefui players that came in cheap and did a job. We finished 2nd in the league, with 5 points seperating us and 1st. Pretty good stuff. The top 4 ended up being fairly tight with Arsenal in 5th just missing top 4. Goal difference. Rashford's tally is actually inaccurate. Sure he scored 21 overall, but in the league he had a pitiful 11 goals in 32 starts. Bruno and Luke Shaw both got a pretty high tally of assists, with Bruno getting 12, and Luke Shaw getting 13. Solid stuff. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xray1324 Posted April 11, 2023 Author Share Posted April 11, 2023 We have good news, and bad news. I have these players who were supposed to be coming in at the end of the current season to not infringe on the rules we had set and stuff, but instead they're coming at the end of the coming season. So, the good news is that we have 3 good players coming in. Really good maybe. The bad news is that they aren't coming in until next season, and it ate up our current budget. I have 8 million to spend on reinforcements this season so I will have to spend in January probably. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xray1324 Posted April 13, 2023 Author Share Posted April 13, 2023 July - August 2021 Results 4 straight victories in the league propels us straight to 1st, though we don't have a player that's scored more than 3 goals yet, with our top goalscorer being Anthony Martial. Greenwood has 3 assists to his name, which is wonderful. Pre-Season Transfers In With players being sold and stuff I managed to scrape together enough money to sign a young prospect and more depth in midfield. Michael Olise He has 4 and a half star potential, and he already looks pretty magnificent if I say so myself. Remo Freuler His scout reports said he was 4 stars current ability, and they knocked off 1 star off his current ability when he signed. Regardless, he's a fairly useful squad player who's already had a start and had a decent showing despite not assisting or scoring. He might be 29, but he gives depth in defensive midfield and midfield allowing us to play a 4-3-3 alongside a 4-2-3-1. Out Two players left for relatively cheap, but what's important is that they are no longer at the club taking up expensive wages for subpar players. There are more players I tried to get rid of, like McTominay, Fred and Andreas Pereira, but we had an issue where either no club was interested in them, or any club interested in them, he wasn't interested in joining, despite the fact that they were in the champion's league and stuff. Great. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
