gandycoleuk Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Hey guys, nearing the end of August 2007 and was wondering whether my squad needed strengthening or not? I have adjusted my budget so I have £8m to spend. Please note my screenshot does not include my injured players (G Neville, Hargreaves, Scholes, Park & Saha) http://img153.imageshack.us/my.php?image=manchesterunitedaugust2zu1.jpg Thanks in advance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.rooney Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I am at the start of the second season, and would greatly some advice on how to strengthen my team. http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/1771/squadvn5.jpg I have a £35million transfer budget. Matias Feranandez looks excellent, but he'll be quite expensive. I was considering buying him to play him on the left, as Anderson and Rooney are my two main attackiing midfielders, with Tevez and Ronaldo also able to play there, and I think I need reinforcements on the wings. Is this sensible, or should he only really be played in the centre? Where else should I stengthen? Thanks for the help in advance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get him at the start for £10m, so he can't be much more. That's probably the place that needs strengthening most, so spend it on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance. Be more defensive. Less mentality, higher tempo, less CF, less FWRs, less width, lower d-line, less-short passing.My philosophy for tactics is to keep more things global and therefore tighter for defensive tactics. The more attacking you want to be, make instructions 'looser' so your team has more chance of breaking through the opposition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.rooney Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 If only I'd found out about him before looking in this thread.... he's at Roma and said they'' settle for a structured deal worth £62million and a 10% future transfer fee clause.

Mickyttudes Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Second Season going well, in November End atm. Ronnie, 20 goals already! Matias Fernandez hasn't been fully fit, just 3 appearances and 4 goals( 3 against Villarreal ) Giggsy, who got 27 assists and 10 goals last season, is struggling to be fit bot Ginger-Head is back, 8 goals 9 assists, so far, 10 continuous 8-rated performances. Rooney, 9 goals, 11 assists. Huntelaar, 5 goals, 10 assists. Nani's been a revelation, 5 goals and 13 assists. Rio's been awesome too, 5 goals so far. Fletcher is now worth 18.5 M, Industrious Midfielder. Topping the league and topped the CL Group. This tactic is really taking the Game AI apart, Was 3 goals up at Stamford Bridge inside 19 minutes, won 2-3. Beating all the other big teams by a two or more goals margin.

gandycoleuk Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Hey guys, in my 1st season and Fiorentina have come in for Silvestre offering £3.5m.

nch Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Sell him for bit more, and get Sakho. But really keep Evra, best WBL in game and great LB. Only Chiellini can beat him as a LB. Wait for regens if you want to replace him in future. Sakho isn't a great WBL (or LB in attacking wise). I found one great LB from Chelsea! Dubbed the new Ashley Cole and is English. On a free!
