John Swarbrick Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Sold Kuscrap for 3.5 mill got 18 mill left to spend what about Joe Matlock as backup to Evra. I'm increasing Fabio and Rafael's PA to reflect their changes for FM 09, cos it's unfair to have them about ~150 which is what they are now when they should have alot higher.

I'm increasing Fabio and Rafael's PA to reflect their changes for FM 09, cos it's unfair to have them about ~150 which is what they are now when they should have alot higher. Have you already got Sahko / sakho? I normally bring him through as cover for Evra until he is ready to play on a more regular basis. Though I've started a new game recently and I'm planning on keeping Silvestre as his stats are brilliant and I never get more than a couple of million for him anyway. Failing that you could always bring someone from the reserves through as cover - Lee or someone similar. Or play Simpson/Evans there in need of an emergancy.

SinghyEFC4Life Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Just about to start my 2012-2013 season with United and last season i won 7 competitions (8 if you include the Euro 2012 win with England). So i have been given a transfer budget of 150M and a wage budget of 5M of which i am currently using 1.93M. Here is my squad: And here is the tactic i use: I dont really play Anderson and am looking to sell him but only English clubs are interested and i've sold too many players to Everton (Tevez, Nani, Carrick, Defour, Ronaldinho, Evra). If you think i need to improve somewhere tell me, and as you can see above money is no object. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evon Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Yes but even over 24 months you cannot get anywhere near that amount for any of those players. Especially at the start.

gandycoleuk Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 After going off Football Manager 2008 while I've been working, I've finally got down to starting a new United save on original patch and this one is to be my last attempt to play a long-term United game: I will be playing under my name which is Faiz Khan and I will turn 30 years of age on the 18th November in the 1st season. I have loaded up all English leagues as well as the Spanish, Italian, French, German, Dutch, Scottish and Portuguese leagues. I have got to the end of August in my 1st season. Looking at the expectations of my board, I am expected to put up a decent fight for the Premier League crown and reach the semi-finals of the Champions League. I have also been expected to reach both domestic finals. After notifying the board of my intention to at least challenge for the League, I have been given a decent if not unlimited transfer budget of £10m together with a £1.2m wage budget to strengthen a already a potential title-winning squad. The one position in the squad that really needed adding to was up front. With that, here are my transfer dealings before the end of August: Players Out Adam Eckersley - Sheff Utd - £650k Fraizer Campbell - Brentford - Loan Chris Eagles - Sunderland - Loan Kieran Lee - Coventry - Loan Players In Michael Owen - Newcastle - £10m + 20% sell-on clause Gabriel Torje - Poli 1921 - £300k + 40% sell-on clause Rene Mihelic - Maribor - £275k + 20% sell-on clause Luca Santonocito - Celtic - £45k + 45% sell-on clause Toni Kroos - FC Bayern - £20k + 30% sell-on clause Aquino - Murcia - £0 + 40% sell-on clause Henri Saivet - Girodins Bordeaux - £0 + 40% sell-on clause Younousse Sankhare - Paris Saint-Germain - £0 + 40% sell-on clause Owen is the only player to go straight into the 1st team and he will provide excellent cover the 1st choice front pair Rooney and Tevez. Aquino, Santonocito, Kroos and Saivet have been placed in the under-18s so they can play regularly with players their age while Mihelic, Torje and Sankhare will contest matches for my reserves. So, with just the addition of Owen, my squad for season 2007-08 looks like this: Goalkeepers Edwin van der Sar Tomasz Kuszczak Defenders Gary Neville John O'Shea Patrice Evra Mikael Silvestre Rio Ferdinand Nemanja Vidic Wes Brown Gerard Pique Midfielders Cristiano Ronaldo Park Ji-Sung (out for around 4 months) Ryan Giggs Nani Owen Hargreaves Michael Carrick Paul Scholes Anderson Darren Fletcher Strikers Wayne Rooney Carlos Tevez Michael Owen Louis Saha Progress So Far Community Shield The traditional curtain-raiser for the new season, as well as my 1st competitive game in charge, was won comfortably by FA Cup holders Chelsea at Wembley. Shevchenko scored two quick fire goals before Rooney's thunderous strike before the interval pulled a goal back for my side. But on the hour mark, Drogba forced the ball past van der Sar to secure a 3-1 victory for the West Londoners. http://img385.imageshack.us/my.php?image=manutdvchelsea2007communo0.jpg Premier League The defence of our League crown has begun with an unbeaten run, gaining 7 points from the first 3 games. As you can see, I've conceded on average a goal per game and are yet to keep a clean sheet so far this season. Otherwise, it looks like a decent start to the season with Newcastle leading the way with Chelsea closing in as well. Liverpool and Arsenal have started slowly and are behind with games in hand on us. The early strugglers in the bottom three are Birmingham, West Ham and Sunderland but it is still very early days. http://img363.imageshack.us/my.php?image=englishpremierdivisionsmk9.jpg Champions League As defending League champions, my team was given a bye into the group stage of the Champions League and we have been given what looks like a tricky group: Man Utd PSV Sporting Olympiakos Now into September, and you will know about the season's progress in my mid-season update which will be posted in January. What do you think of my squad and also my overall transfer dealings even this early into my United career and also what do you make of my start? Any suggestions and advice much appreciated.

John Swarbrick Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I envy that squad. A nice solid depth of players with 2 players for every position apart from MC which has 5 players. Well done. You need a bit of cover for Ronaldo as Park is out for 4 months, so I suggest you either loan a right winger for 4 months or train fletcher or hargreaves in right midfield. Not much else to do except buy youngsters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky_07 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Singhy - Thats a very good squad you have there. Is that Rafael the one United have at the start if so how has he turned out? Where is Fabio and Possebon di you sell them? Did you make that tactic yourself it looks very attacking do you play with that home and away? Sorry for all the questions lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinghyEFC4Life Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 It is the Rafael that starts at United but i changed his and Fabio's PA to reflect how i've seen them play IRL and he is quality great defensively also chips in with a few goals. I sold Fabio to Arsenal for £30M (well the chairman accepted it but i didn't want to sell him). I still have Possebon but don't know if i should change his PA. I downloaded this tactic it is in the Tactics and Training forum and its the one that says I Beat Man Utd 8-0 with Chelsea using this tactic (bit ironic that really because i beat them 8-0 using it ) and i use it both home and away.

Sparky_07 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Can I change their PA in my game or do I have to start again to be able to change it.
