yorkshirelad11 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Im going to start a new game now as Mancheser United. I`ve not really gotten into a game of late so hoping this will be different. I`m going to play with the current side for the first season or two, hoping to bring in 1 or 2 first teamers, then a few youth signings to nature.I will keep you updated.

mocko666 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Got back into my man u game, inconsistency has seen me in 3rd in the premiership 3 points behind chelsea with a game in hand and 5 behind arsenal with a game in hand, mid way through season. Quarter final of FA Cup playing fringe and youth, going to slowly bring in a couple of youth players, next season my current crop of regens will see the cup games. I think my inconsistency is down to so many changes in the summer and constantly changing formation however ive found one and im sticking with it. 1st knockout round of Europe saw me at home against Real Madrid, at old trafford ive never been so nervous in my life about a game however my stars pulled it out of the bag. 35 minutes in 2-0 up and effectively killed off the game. I made 15 chances in first half before the first goal i thought i as going to pay for not putting any away. I was hoping for more after the 2nd just to give me breathing space and the Bernabeu (sp?) however an away goal should effectively kill of the tie. Going to bed now so we will see how things pan out tommorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ready made ones..probably Rossi if you are playing Anderson right behind the strikers. as a AMC from midfield then am not sure. VDV always wants to move, so he shouldn't be too expensive.

danodamano Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I've just started a game with Man Utd, and I've heard that changing formation too often can mean your players don't settle and find a rhythm. I want to play a 4-4-2 at home in the league and a 4-2-3-1 away, and then a 4-3-3 in Europe, will they struggle to adjust and settle to these big changes in formation, or will they gradually get used to all of them. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SneakyDave Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 That should be fine. I rotate every 5 or so games to one of two formations; one a 4-4-2 and one a 4-3-2-1 (or 4-3-3 as it's considered by default here in the game) and I've been doing well. You may find that you'll need a new formation to freshen things up late into the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crozzizzle Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I'm in the 09/10 season of the first patch as utd. Why is it that no matter how well I do the board are always so negative? I've won everything possible 3 seasons in a row now, and I'm only sticking with utd because, sadly enough, all the players have me as their "favoured personell" - and I've got quite a reputation for strirring arguments with rival managers. I just beat Arsenal 6-3 in the final of the F.A cup and the club said it would take a while for the fans to let me forget about conceding so many to rivals! Like wtf??? David Gill on this game is a total pr!ck! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crozzizzle Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Another thing I forgot to mention. Has anyone bought Obefami Martins from Newcastle? I bought him in my first season because Saha and Tevez were out for 3 and 8 months. In 09/10 season I just got an email informing me he is firm favourite for player of the year award. He's total quality. I play a 4-3-2-1 with him alone up front, supported by Rooner and Tevez, Rooney has scored more, but Martins is doing phenominal, has anyone else tried him?

SneakyDave Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Just in November, my second season. 5 points clear from chelsea and have a game at hand. Played 13, won 13. Scored 35, conceded 4. Not doing too bad eh? I have won EVERY game so far this season in all competitions, here's my latest 5 results: 3-0 win over Wigan 4-0 win over Norwich (Using my U18 squad and Saviola. Sav scored all 4) 5-2 win over Liverpool (That game accounts for half the goals I've conceded so far... barzagli scored 2 though so he balanced his game out lol) 1-0 win over Spartak Moscow 4-0 win over Suprs I'm delighted so fa. Here's my team and current formation: GK: Foster/Enyema (VDS in reserves, neither keeper is world class yet. Who should be number one of all 3?) LB: Evra RB: Alves CB: Barzagli LM: Nani RM: Ronaldo CM: Zapater AMC:Rooney AMC:Moutinho ST: Aguero (Scored 9 in 11) SUBS: Enyeama Veloso (My attempt to replace Pique, so far so good - any experiences with him?) Hargreaves Barnes Adriano (Scored 13 in 10 starts. My CL striker as Aguero is cup tied) Any suggestions on weaknesses in my team? All help appreciated.

mocko666 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Liverpool Manu would be the better games p.s i support neither. Anyway the end of the season has arrived and brings dissapointing with an inch of joy. Premiership started off badly with good twists, the side after so many additions werent playing fluently and thus i struggled to stick to a formation, however we were winning 1s and 2 nils and the odd draw unconvincing but there or there abouts. So we found ourslef at the halfway stage and the title was quickly into a three horse race, Arsenal, Chelsea and Man u (me) in position order. I found that my big problem was that everytime Arsenal and Chelsea slipped up my young squad seemed to buckle under the pressure. In the middle of the chase for the title we found our reserve team go out of the league cup and yet our reserve team reach the final of the FA Cup. The champions league came about where we easily qualified for the latter stages where we found ourselves up against Real Madrid however home and then away 4-0 and 3-0 i think wins saw them off quite easily, however the next round saw us come up against old foes and my bogey team Inter, i had never been able to beat them in 3 games. However after watching them score first and thinking here goes again a quick switch of formaton saw me eventually finish the game 4-1 however i was al ittle nervy for the next game due to the away goal. And i had every right to be nervy as i got a walloping in the next game and lost 7-6 on aggregate i know why i lost as i was too conservative from the start but them omentum was already gained and i couldnt seem to stop them, so theres nothing i can do about that now apart from take revenge next year. The race for the premiership was still gaining momentum and 1st place swang one way then the next, however in the end a few slip ups saw Arsenal take the title by 5 points. However i was consolidated by a 4-1 win in the FA cup final against West Ham bringing my only title back to old trafford. In summary better luck for me next year, i think we may bring a major trophy to old trafford. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Swarbrick Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 post pics of regens that replaced Rooney and Ronaldo ect later Hi everybody, need some transfer recommendations. Need to bolster the squad because i have the League, FA cup, League cup semi final, and Champs league first round knockout all coming up so need some depth. I am in the second season and it's late December coming up to the transfer window. I am still using Gary Neville as first choice right back and probably need to replace him in this window. Alves is at Arsenal although he would be the man I want. Although Corluka for city has said he wants a new challenge and Barca have offered 18M plus 'clauses'. So who should I get? Richards could be bought for like 30 mill but is he good enough for attacking purposes. I want someone attacking like Evra or Alves and preferably a 'natural' right back. Cheers.

SneakyDave Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Yeah, I'd play Hargreaves at right back for the first season. He makes a very good right-back, and outperformed Neville, O'Shea and Brown by a long way. He's worth around 15m of what you'd spend on a player of his class. Retrain him.

John Swarbrick Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Cheers lads. I signed Rafinha because I managed to get him for only 11 million from Valencia because of a release clause. Should I get a new keeper. Van Der Sar is probably past it now and Foster is Ok but not brilliant. I actually have a young keeper called Jesus Garcia who has a PA in the 180's but he's not ready 'till about 4 seasons. Cheers again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SneakyDave Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Good for you! Rafinha was a major target for me but I couldn't afford him in the first season. For a keeper? Van Der Sar is fine for the first season. I'm in the second, and he's in my reserves. Foster is my main choice and my number two (hehe) is Enyeama. Neither are outstanding to be honest, but both will improve over time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SneakyDave Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Just won the Premiership for my second year in a row, on April 4th, with 31 games played and 89 points. Won 29, Drawn 1 and Lost 1. I conceded 13 and scored 72. I conceded 7 of those 13 in the last couple months, neither Foster or Enyeama are in great form. I've got a great defence in Evra, Alves, Barzagli, Vidic and Veloso in back-up. Any idea on how good Foster will get, and likewise with Enyeama? I'm thinking of Boruc for just under 10m, as I've heard good things. Any suggestions? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SneakyDave Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Fabian Brandy. 20 million pounds. He's spent the last two seasons at other clubs or in my reserves, and yet I realised he's valued at 8m.

So far its been working well. Rooney have 30 odd goals, tevez is less prolific with 10+ to 20 goals though he assist well. Ronaldo is emulating his real life feats.

SneakyDave Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 First season if set to Title Challenger and not Winner, you get around 10.5 million pounds to spend. It's a challenge, as Giggs, Foster, Neville, Hargreaves and more are injured at the start of the game, plus alot of positions need replacements. I'd recommend it, although start of the third season, I might resign as I'm just coasting at this stage to be honest, with a transfer budget of 157m+.

qx123 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 End of first season. C.Ron at 66 goals in 60 games ^^ Wow. 3rd season budget == 157million ? thats gay. I have a 50 odd million to spend for my 2nd season though and i have some problem with where to spend it. Not many positions i seen that needed significant upgrade. I like Messi but he does not want to come. Thinking of offloading some fringe players for now. I want to make Man utd rich again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
