MR - Ronaldo/Kalouda

ML - Nani/Park Ji Sung/Wijnaldum

MC - Zapater/Anderson/Marin

MC - Carrick/Veloso/Hargreaves

FC - Rooney/Tevez

FC - Briand/Saivet

right where do i improve? i have thought about selling...

Hargreaves

Carrick

Samba

Ferdinand

Park Ji Sung

Tevez

how much do you think i could get for them? obviously Tevez and Ferdinand only if i could get a great offer but how much would you settle for?

great season mate icon14.gif

squad looks good icon14.gif

Hargreaves 30+ million but i wouldn't sell

Carrick 30+ million i would sell before above

Samba

Ferdinand whatever his current price is

Park Ji Sung double his current price

Tevez 40+ million

you need a right back. but depends on your style of play.do you have very attacking full backs? if so Daniel Alves-Sevilla or Lorenzo De Silvestri-Lazio or Rafinha-Schalke.

oh ahah well i sold hargreaves and didnt get much for park ji sung. if you look above they are my transfers Alves went to liverppool so i went for Rafinha i didnt fancy spending another 20m on alves to be honest.

well ill look to get 30m for carrick because i think him ad ferdinand will be my next sales.

Im in the summer of 2009 now after winning the Prem. Barcelona offered £15m for Vidic but i got them up to £23m which i accepted. Does anyone think i made a mistake or is this a good deal?

One of the reasons i sold Vidic is because 5 or 6 of my squad dsliked him!!

Also im new enough to this game and was wondering how do you retrain a player in a new position?? Im contemplating training Pique or Evans for the RB position. Thanks!

yeah thats a fair price i reckon great player but if hes upsetting your team then get rid.

retraining just clikc on the player and go to training overview down the left hand side an then itsays new position and just choose the one you want!

i recommend pique i have done it and he plays well there!

fair price for vidic but make sure you have a world class cover for him

Pele10 how do you get to manage forest as a 2nd team as well as Man Utd? Are Forest Notthingham Forest? Btw...halfway into my 2nd season and WOW your tactics works perfect, my team creates so so many chances, I have beaten Chelsea 4-0 and 2-5 both times, excellent formation! All I see is Ronaldo running in middle of both my strikers and he has scored an amazing 16 goals in 15 league apprearances, 21 overall this season (1st season).

This is who I have bought so far...

Steven Defour

Y Sankhare

Henri Saviet

John Fleck

Mamadou Sakho

Nathan Delfouneso

Bojan (loan)

I have the exact team settings you posted but the only individual settings I have is 'Long shots' on 'Rarely' for my midfielders whose long shots is below 15, unless they have over 18 flair like Ronaldo.

Also both my Central defenders 'Closing down' is set to 'Own area' and mentality is 5 notches to the left (defensive).

Have also specified my freekick taker which is Matias Fernandez and penalty taker.

Both central defenders attack each post and striker challengers goalkeeper for corners, thats about it.

Yeah I do win but its on rare occasions. Also check this...I was winning 1-0 against Everton, they scored 2 then I scored 2, then they scored again so final score was 3-3 and I was AWAY, I have conceeded 20 away and 7 at home in 25 games, I have realised that fast defenders do get behind my defence, i'm playing Ferdinand and Vidic in centre, Evra and O'Shea on sides.
