Im currently in a bit of a dilema, I am in November 2008 and my strikers are currently Rooney, Aguero, Carew and Tevez with Saivet, Baxter and Torje making their way up the youth ranks.

So far this season I have played 17 games in all competitions, Carew has played 14 games, scoring 10 goals and assisting 6. Rooney has played 11 games, scoring 7 goals and assisting 3. Aguero has played 11 games, scoring 14 goals and assisting 2. Tevez has played 1 game, scoring 0 and assisting 0.

My dilema is whether or not I should sell Tevez? Last season he played 44 games in all competitions, scoring 24 goals and assisting 11. As I signed Carew and Aguero in the transfer window before the second season it has been hard for Tevez to get a game. Should I cash in on him in January? Should I keep him as a back-up? If I keep him as a back-up will he get annoyed?

I would really appreciate any help.

Thanks, harryseaess

Can anyone suggest what I should be doing with my current squad. I think its a bit bloated in places and weak in others. I play a 4-4-1-1 system with Aguerro normally as the AM and Rooney as FC. I'm mid way through season 3 and have 51m to spend.

GK. Akinfeev, Barbosa

DL. Felipe (retained), Silvestre, Fabio

DR. M.Torres, Pique (retrained)

DC. Ferdinand, Brown, Vidic

MC. Carrick, Hargreaves, Marchisio, Anderson, Lulinha

ML. Fernandez, Menez

MR. Ronaldo, Nani

AMC. Aguerro, Saivet

FC. Rooney, Adriano

Move Pique to CB. Buy a RB and a LB-why sell Evra? He's the best defender. Sell Carrick or Hargreaves and move the flipping AM up front. Aguero is not a bloody AM and he never will be. Buy a new left winger too and move Fernandez to MC. Or just switch Anderson and Fernandez.

Buy a better TM. Why would you buy one like Carew? Asamoah Gyan, Amauri, Jo, Berbatov etc. etc. Unless you want a battering ram simply there to win headers in route one style. Gyan is still better for that. You could even go for Aaritalo, Iaquinta or Zigic.

i had already sacked most of them.. the scouts, the youth coach, 1st team coach, coach, physio and the new fitness coach sucks.. im waiting for his contract to run out since the board will block the departure if i tried to sack him..

blimey tanzeel, that team is amazing, but i do agree with morganho, you need to load some of them off. btw how is it working for u?how much are you paying them? i've got a suggestion though : all of your strikers are pacey, you need some variety and buy a lad like berbatov or ibrahimovich for example, who can be played as a target man, just for some different approaches to the attack you know?I don't know where Jo from CSKA Moscow plays in yours, but he's perfect for that role

Definitely. He's my main striker and has scored 15 in 9 games. Amazing.

In no way is Rafinha a better RB than De Silvestri. He might be a better utility player then retrained as an AMR, but only as a defender, Silvestri is way better.

In my opinion he's the best RB prospect in the game besides Richards.

I know! He just bangs them in for fun.

When I first signed him though the fans said that I had to prove he was worth signing. He got player of the year.

Now they say that about Breno. Hopefully he'll turn out to be just as good.

Hi all some of you may remember me from the other united threads, so now that i am happy with the game i decided to start my united game.

Signings in

Aissati 10 mill - Abit more then a wanted to pay but was cheaper the the other players i liked. I felt i needed another winger, hes a wonder kid now and settled in quite well .

Aguero 25 mill - wow hes awesome hes better on this version him and rooney are forming a awesome partnership, i play him behind rooney in attcking mid.

Rafinha 11.5 mill - I wanted alves but his price put me off. Singed rafinha instead as logn term replacemeant for neville and but hes been keeping him out the team.

Breno - 6.5 mill Coming in januray i dont really need him at the min but he looks promising and didn't want to miss out on him,

Players out

saha -10 mill i was happy to sell him i only play 1 up front and felt i didn't need him.

Silvest 3.7 with plenty of cover in defence didn't feel like i needed him

Fletcher 12.5 looks good but with plenty of other options in his postion was happy with the money.

also sold some youngsters who i didn't think cut it.

egales 3.2 mill

dong 1.5 mill

martin 1.7 mill

bardsley 2 mill.

In november so far things are going well. Won all out games in the league and playing good football. Beating chelsea 4-1 away best result so far. Lost to newcastle in league cup 3rd round but wasnt too botherd even though board was. And safely through the next round of champions league.

My team as of the charity cup 2007 (Beat Chelsea 3-4):

FIRST TEAM SECOND TEAM

GK : Van Der Sar Kusczak / Foster

RB : Lorenzo De Silvestri (7 Mil) G.Neville / Wes Brown

LB : Evra M. Sakho (Free, compansation tho')

DC1 : Rio Ferdinand Pique

DC2 : Vidic J. Evans

RM : Ronaldo Eagles

LM : Giggs Nani

MC1 : Carrick Hargreaves / Banega (2+ mil)

MC2 : Anderson Scholes / Lulinha (2+ mil, coming 2008)

FC1 : Tevez Saivet (Free, compensation tho')

FC2 : Rooney Saha

Outs : Silvestre and trying to sell off Fletcher and O'Shea.

Ins : Besides the ones mentioned above, trying to get Bojan (keeps rejecting the contract). Possibly Marcelo in Jan if i can sell off the two above. Also looking for another aerial striker to give competition to Saha.

Basically not much changes except those forced on by injuries. Prefer to buy in youth.

Appreciate any comments that you can give. Thanks.

You think so?

I tend to play the youths when i can. Eg if the senior RB was unavailable then i would choose Simpson. Sakho for LB, Pique or Evans for CB.

I like to think of it as an opportunity for them to train with the regular first teamers as well as to see what they can do. Part of their training by giving them playing time and not just wait for league cup games, at least in my head anyway. So basically, even with injuries etc, my choices tend to end up with O'Shea, and Brown for that matter, not to play much.

On the other hand, guess what you said made sense. I.e. play someone with the capability now rather than potential ability. icon_smile.gif
