Sheps. Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Hey all, I'm playing with Utd at the moment (hold on, when don't I play with Utd? ), with great success *touch wood*. I'm just entering January in the first season; unbeaten in the league, lost once in Europe after I'd already qualified, won every cup game including the Mickey Mouse cup (League Cup - fielded youngsters each time). We play some wonderful, sexy football at times. Ronaldo is on fire, like irl, Rooney's doing quite good, Tevez has finally hit some form along with Pazzini, so I'm quite happy The only major problem is the financial crisis. I'm £13.5M in the red, and I've just had an article in the inbox about speculation that David Gill could step down and let another member of the board take control. Hopefully, if this happens, they'll install a load of money into the club! *prays* My team is basically the same, minus Silvestre, as I cant stand him, and with Pazzini, Samba, Barnes and Bojan on loan joining the ranks. I've purchased a whole crop of youngsters as well, in the hope that one of two of them might turn good. John Bostock and Manuel Fischer certainly look the business, they could well make the cut tbh. Right, well I'll be back at the end of my seson, hopefully with a quadruple! (quadruple in the first season, is there a better way to introduce myself? ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattskelding Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 3rd season 8.0.2 - lost out to chelsea last season on goal difference - and this year they're already banging them in with only 4 games played (inc 6-0 v Pompy) I'm playing this 4-4-1-1 using these team instructions which seams to be doing well - averaging 2 goals a game with very few if any conceded. But if you look at my first team squad with Rooney, Ronaldo, Aguero, Adebayor and Villa, by all rights I should be banging them in. What am i doing wrong?! Please help!!!

Scott08 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 mattskelding If i were you.. i'd go for a slightly more attacking formation. Push your two wingers up to AMR and AML with arrows to the ST position.. to make a 4-2-3-1. Use Adebayor upfront.. he's the best in the business and will score more than a goal a game. Rooney can sit behind him, then Ronaldo and Nani should score more goals from that position. Of your 2 CMs.. make one defensive (Zapater or Hargreaves) and one more on a normal setting with more C.F and mixed passing (Anderson). You should hopefully have the same success as me with this type of formation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Swarbrick Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 A very fast response is needed here my fellow reds! I have only 2 days before the transfer window shuts on 31st August. It is the start of the second season and i'm not sure if Neville is good enough to play at right back anymore, as much I love the man. Trouble is, Arsenal got Alves in first season and I can't afford to pay 90 odd million as it says his sale price is in the mini scout. So should I get a right back, and if so, who should I buy? I have about £54 million so that is alot. Cheers reds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vbnmu Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Anyone bought Giorgi Makaridze(GK) who starts out at Dinamo Tbilisi, a Georgian team? He nows plays for Midtjylland, a Danish team and is Georgia's first choice keeper for the first team. He is only 18-19. I have Lloris as my 1st team keeper, Foster does all the easier games and Corradini on loan. Coradini is not developing as I thought he would. Foster is often injured and doesn't seem capable of pushing Lloris for a 1st team place. I want a young keeper who will develop and b consistent, and more importantly, who won't cost much as I don't like paying much for somebody who wouldn't b 1st choice.

Mooono Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Anyone know a tactic which means I won't lose? I need to win a few games if I'm even to get 2nd place as Arsenal and Chelsea have only lost once each. I'm in Quarter Finals of Champions League against Liverpool (winner plays Barcelona or R. Madrid.) and Semi Final against Blackburn (winner plays Chelsea or Liverpool) so its not like I have easy games coming up. Anyway, I usually line up GK - Van der Sar RB - Neville/O'Shea LB - Evra CD - Vidic CD - Ferdinand/Pique DMC - Hargreaves LM(arrow to AMC) - Nani RM(arrow to AMC) - Ronaldo AMC(arrow to CF) - Van der Vaart ST(arrow to wing) - Rooney ST(arrow to wing) - Tevez I have Saha and Billy Sharp(loan) as back-up strikers as £10.5m went on VdV, £5.5m on Lulinha(next season) and numerous youth and staff (Enyeama too). Sold Carrick for £9.5m for quick cash but sold no-one else till beginning of next season. Anyone got any ideas then? P.S. I know who I'm getting next season so just need tactic tips.

adonis Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Start of Season 2010/11 update Surprisingly In have only ended up buying a few players which is very rare for me . Iago on a bosman from Barcelona plus a young regen German gk and a French CB also a regen. But I did sell 2 of my last season 1st teamers in Guardado and Mathias Fernandez, mainly due because I wanted Aguero to play behind Rooney along with Anderson. Transfers Out: Mathias Fernandez - £35.5m plus 30% of next fee Guardado - £41m plus 30% of next fee Danny Simpson - £10m plus £40m after 1 int cap plus 50% of next fee Now have a transfer budget of £190m and my balance is now £259m, where this time last season I was in the red!!! Have around 12 players loaned out for experience and work permits. Squad: Won Community SHield vs Chelsea 2-0, and the Euro Super Cup vs Lyon again 2-0 with Campbell getting both goals.

Thanks for the infor but Joe Hart and Carson won't come cheap as both are 1st choice for their respective team, in my game. AFAIK Kirkland is not exactly young. Will have a look at Kasper though. The thing is, the 1st 3 are pretty much same age as Lloris, therefor not the young keeper I was looking for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

keaneutdlegend Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 hey, first post on this thread I'm on 8.0.2, in the Jan transfer window of the 2nd season. Won the League and the CL in the 1st season, final of the FA cup and pretty crap in the League Cup. Rooney got 45 goals last season! Ronaldo and Tevez also played excellently. 2nd season (so far): out of the league cup again but in the 5th round of FA cup. 1st in the league (on goal difference) with man city and arsenal playing excellently this season. Strolled through group stages of CL, facing Ajax in the knockouts. Have not played as well or reached the heights of last season, Tevez and Amuri have 17 goals each so far, Rooney with 15. My current team: GK: Akinfeev RB: Rafinha (tried to get Alves but Roma got there 1st) CB: Ferdinand CB: Vidic LB: Evra RW: Ronaldo LW: Nani CM: Fletcher CM: Anderson ST: Rooney ST: Tevez The rest: Foster, Brown, O'Shea, Evans, Silvestre, Carrick, Young, Amauri, Park Bought: Amauri £6m (bargain) Ashley Young £12m (bit pricey for back up but young and english) Akinfeev £15m (bought him in this Jan transfer window only played 2 games so far) Rafinha £16m (played really well) Plus loads of youngsters e.g. Saviet, Sakho etc Sold: Pique £12m to Barca(could rise to £18m board accepted so had no choice) Hargreaves £17m to Valencia (he wasnt performing great and didnt really fit my formation) Kusczak £5.5m to B'burn (pretty good deal in my opinion) Saha £3m to B'burn (way too low but he was constantly injured and playing poorly, had to get rid) Campbell £5m to Newcastle (did ok, but was a good offer) Plus several older players (Neville, Scholes, Giggs, VDS) contracts run out this summer... So im in the 08/09 season, Jan transfer window. I have £20million to spend. I think my midfield is way too thin, and with games coming thick and fast, should i spend now? or rely on the older players until summer and spend big in the big transfer window?

If you want to strengthen midfield then Veloso from Sporting is a great choice.Cost about 20 millions in second season while around 15 millions in first season.He can play defense and attack.I think no need to strengthen your striker,if anything happen push Ronaldo to striker.

Sheps. Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Firstly, welcome! And you most definately need a new DM, someone like Cattermole or Bolzoni Then, I'd look at getting a back up for Anderson, seeing as Scholes is getting on a bit. On my game, I got Giles Barnes, he's young, English and can cover the wings too He's like the English Ronaldinho You should probably try and get a back up LB as well. Someone like Bale would be fantastic, if you can get Spurs to loosen their grip on him. Btw, I just finished my season, so I'll be putting up a season report for you all to enjoy soon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have around 12 players loaned out for experience and work permits. Squad: Just seen Adonis's screenshot and Rooney shows up as AM/FC. Why is it that in my game he is only FC? </div></BLOCKQUOTE> He probably retrained him as an AMC and this makes him better at the AMC position. You can do this in the training section of the player screen. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> Yep retrained him just in case I have a spate of injuries and am struggling for players, I do it with every player retrain them to be accompolished in at 2/3 positions.
