curtley-jack Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 great squad how is saivet getting along for you ? Saivet has been doing pretty well, however Rooney and Givanildo have been on fire this season and with tevez as back up he's hardly played. In previous seasons he has done very well being my first choice striker, but now im unsure what to do with him, think maybe a loan out for a season? it seems a waste him sitting on the bench or not being selected. any suggestions?

edosimon Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 The current Man Utd strikers are small and not very good in the air. Do you guys have any suggestions for strikers who can win a lot of headers, hold up the ball etc? Kind of like the successor to RVN? Thx Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't afford him try Stancu. Also, try and get some youth in, for a couple of years time. Sahko, Saivet, Wjindilum, Jose Baxter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too young in first season, but turns out to be quality. First year loan him to Walsall. You can pick him up for £300-400 in the first year and slightly more after that.

Noni. Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Hi there! Progressing with my Man Utd game now, I'd like to keep it as realistic as possible and buy players that I actually rate in real life! So, my first season- Went well! Won the league! No transfer to make note of. Also won the Champions Leauge, FA Cup and Carling cup! Second Season- Again won the leauge, and the Carling cup! This was my first BIG transfer window, transfers are as followed- Third- Lost out on the Leauge due to some bad form, won the Carling Cup though, and also the FA Cup! Was very quiet in terms of transfers, managed to get Theo Walcott for free though!! Fourth- More like it! Won the Leauge and came runners up in the Champions Leauge! Also won the FA Cup Sold Tevez for £28.5M too, not my favourite player... Fith- Got John Obi Mikel for free and Iago, Mikel was astounding and got me a Premier Leauge crown, and a FA Cup crown. Again second in Champs Leauge. Sixth- Now Im here, Just managed to get Pato for free!!! Sold Mikel for £30M, and Iago for £5M Looking good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonbyrneno.4 Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I'm looking for the best 4-2-3-1 or 4-5-1 formation to use with Man Utd. I'm using Heath/ronaldo's 41311 at the moment but it's an extremely open tactic and it means i get exposed sometimes against big teams. I'm looking for a back-up formation that i can use in the 4-2-3-1 mould. Something like a formation based around using a target man like a lone front man like Huntelaar. So guys whats the best 4-2-3-1 formation? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ledzepman Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 At the end of the 2013/2014 season. Won the league with about 8 games to spare. Have now won the Premiership 3 years on the trot. My team is really beginning to come together. Have won the champs leagyue 3 out of the last 4 years and am about to play Barca in the semis this year. My team is as follows... GK - Akinfeev RB - Ramos LB - Evra CB - Vidic CB - Nordtveidt DMC - Burke CM - Aguero CM - Fernandez RWF - Rooney LWF - Ronaldo ST - Saivet Subs - Ninis, Teixiera, Bejan, Aquino and others.

McGann10 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Whats the best formation for united using a 4-4-2. I.E. 4-4-2 with defensive mid and centre mid ?? or is a 4-3-3 best ??

McGann10 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I'm gonna try and pair him up with Huntelaar, first time i've bought him loads of people go on about how he is a great target man and goal scorer gonna try him as target man and rooney playing along side him. I'll tell ya if there a good partnership Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evon Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Huntelaar isn't much of a targetman. He's incredibly similar to RVN in that he's just a poacher who's decent in the air, decent technically and has decent pace. He may score a few goals with Rooney supplying.

lewislpope Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Am currently in the 09/10 season and am in need of advice with my squad. would appreciate it if anyone has any ideas on where i can improve, who i can sign, who i should sell etc. The squad is as follows: GK - Akinfeev/ VDS DR - Alves/ Brown DL - Evra/ O'Shea DC - Rio/ Sakho DC - Vidic AMR - Ronaldo/ Cesar Villaluz AML - Nani/ Sergio Mota DMC - Veloso/ Hargreaves AMC - Matias Fernandez/ Anderson FC - Rooney/ Saivet FC - Tevez/ Victor Moses Subs: Ledley Kenan Kodro Manucho Saha Barkroth Cathcart Welbeck Out on Loan: Kieran Lee Pichu Atienza Thiago (from barcelona) Wijnaldum Nordin Amrabat Let me know what you think and where I can improve.

Evon Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Buy a left back, a good young right winger because Villaluz is young but crap and buy a bloody good striker. Sell Saha, Moses-why this idiot?-and Manucho. Other than that it's fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evon Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Marcelo is one of the worst left backs in the history of left backs. Good winger, dire left back. And I reckon Aguero, Ibrahimovic, Villa, Pazzini would all be decent partners because they can all have pace, some strength and can finish well but the best partner for Rooney for me is Owen. He finishes off chances created by Rooney so well and slips in a couple for Rooney too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smack Ffloyd Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Any recommendations for an out and out striker. Just started United save and I've signed pretty much everyone i wanted apart from a striker, was looking at Gyan but they keep rejecting. I roughly about 8 million and am looking for someone fast who would compliment Tevez/Rooney!

Soccer Superstarr Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Finished third season at Man U and won the Premiership and UEFA cup. So far, I've sold Rooney to Roma, Ronaldo (sold for over £35m with clauses) & Tevez to Juventus and Nani went to Arsenal (for around £23m with clauses). Also sold Fletcher, Carrick (to Newcastle), Frazier Campbell and released a few players on free transfers too. Brought in Van Der Vaart (for £20m), Podolski (for £9m, which was a bargain as he's been quality so far), Piatti (for around £12m), James Vaughan (£20m from Everton and after an average start he's on good form with 10 goals already [in October now in fourth season], Akinfeev (£30m), Arshavin (£8m), Alves (£7.75m), Zapata (£26m) and Hamsik (for £17m). Now in fourth season and won Community Shield & European Super Cup so far.

McGann10 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 you sold ronaldo ?? why you cant get a better right winger than him :S:S Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soccer Superstarr Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Good point but the main reason I sold Ronaldo was because he kept saying he wanted to leave for some time and as his status was 'unhappy' most of the time his form was affected so instead of getting 8's and 9's he was averaging around a mid 6/occasional 7. Van Der Vaart has been a quality replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo and as he's happy at the club has been more consistent too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGann10 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 If you would to of praised him individually and offered him a new contract he would of or i think been "Happy" happened to me Mancini kept doing it to me he was unsettled and unhappy i done this and he signed a new 5 year deal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selling Rooney, Ronaldo, Tevez, Nani and Carrick? You've massacred the team. And for peanuts too. Ronaldo can be sold for upwards of £80m whilst Nani is a £30m+ player. Bad buys too. Vaughan? Alves? Your other buys are decent but massively inflated such as VDV who is usually available for around £10m, Piatti whilst being an amazing player can be bought for 100k and isn't worth £12m, Vaughan is decent but worth at most £8m while Akinfeev for £30m is just ridiculous. He's worth £15m at most. Also Alves is just not needed at all. Zapata and Hamsik are good buys but a bit inflated again. I have Piatti, Zapata and Hamsik for Udinese and they are fffffb but you've paid too much for everyone except Arshavin and Podolski-who is a pretty good value buy. And sell Nani. Now.

Canabary Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Ronaldo will complain every once in a while... bring in someone better than him and he'll shut up trying to make the first team.

Evon Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 You must be doing badly. And you should never reject bids. Always negotiate to an idiotic price. Like £100m. If they might pay that, add a few extras. And just keep him. Unless you can get someone like Messi or Silva for much less than they'd pay you. He'll get over it if you leave it awhile.
