Been lurking on this thread and finally decided to post with my ideas. I used to love playing Liverpool up until around when they had Mane/Salah then thought it was too easy. Though it's still an amazing squad and i'm sure will be quite easy but after seeing how we are doing in real life, I thought it would be fun to play as Liverpool again this year.
I've been playing a bit of the beta as a test and will wait for the full release to start a proper save. Here's my plans: Sell:
Thiago - Injury prone and I want to try use Firmino/Elliot as playmakers instead. Could be fun retraining Bobby as a CM.
Keita - For the cash and don't rate him IRL
Matip - Getting old and have a plan who to replace him with.
Adrian - Will get a better backup
Buy:
Pau Torres - Will be my left footed CB, a replacement for Matip and by using the money from Matip, he'll only cost me 10m extra around. Him and Van Dijk will by the main CBs.
Bowen - Left footed and will use as a backup to Salah. However still unsure as his speed isn't amazing.
Joe Hart - Why not. Not too expensive, English and makes a good backup.
Sturridge - Purely for fun as a emergency backup on cheap wages. Thinking to try get Suarez in winter to reunite SAS.
Tactics:
I will try out the 4-2-3-1 vertical tika taka as my main tactic. Also I want to try one of the counter attacking tactics as I heard they actually work on this version. Anyone been playing with a counter tactic, if so, how has it worked for you?
Cheers!
