    I scouted Tonali after seeing him on your other save and scouts don't recommend him very highly but think I might risk the £5-£6 million to sign him as he is only 18. Want to move Matic on not liking his lack of mobility for my approach and used Herrera more as the Deeplying playmaker before he got back from injury and the Herrera needed some rest so let Matic play the last few games but looking for the next guy who can step in and be the player to make it his own in time.

    As you can see, got lucky enough to have a regen that could walk straight into the DLP role so I'm not super focused on developing Tonali this save. 
    I think this tactic works though - for me at least. The key seems to be the super midfield trio and my 2 bombarding wingbacks (especially Tierney, pretty much a must-buy).
    I got rid of Matic and Herrera pretty early on, unfortunately they just aren't good enough. 

    My must-buys now are: Milinkovic-Savic, Tierney, de Ligt, Tonali, and Mbappe once I have enough money.

    Ahhh I'll him there instead maybe been playing a two man box to boxes with a Deep Lying playmaker behind them. 

    Have you managed to get a striker scoring seems to be a problem in what my tactic seems to be like 

    This is my 4-1-4-1.

    And no, my striker isn't scoring much.
    13/11/21; Martinez 8 in 18; was 16 in 31 the season before. 
     

    My midfield scores heaps though:
    Pogba is 12 in 13 atm and 5 assists;
    Milinkovic 5 in 18, 3 assists;
    Perez (DLP) 2 in 15; 4 assists

    Mbappe 8 in 16, 3 assists;
    Martial 6 in 7, 1 assist;
    Rashford 9 in 14, 2 assist;

    My defenders are scoring as well:
    de Ligt 7 in 19 for eg;
    and Tierney has 2 in 19 but 14 assists.

    I take back everything I just said, you didn't use editor by any chance? damn the guy looks immense, his stats are ridiculous and certainly a massive improvement 6 years on. 

    no, I have a DB update downloaded though, for that save; but I've since stopped playing that save because it got too boring (and I also changed computers). 
    bear in mind, he was playing VERY regularly behind a mid 2 of pogba and milinkovic which helped him reach his full potential early imo.
    I believe once you have a mid 2 pairing of Pogba and Milinkovic-Savic, you're pretty much set (as long as your other players aren't too crappy).
     


     

  4. Tonali at 24 in a previous save.
    Helps that I have Pogba and Milinkovic-Savic in front of him in a triangle CM.

    In my current new save, I have a 20 year old regen in the DLP role; still Pogba and Milinkovic-Savic in front of him though.

    Just landed Messi on mine in Jan. He's 33 & his contract is up in the summer, laid out £80mil (£50 mil from sales of Everton, Brazilian AMR, to Arsenal) and put the rest to myself to get him in Jan instead of waiting until summer. Anyone else managed to land him? scores 35 yard screamers for fun on the right wing & loads of free kicks.

    not I because tbh, I buy Mbappe for the right wing.

    can you post your tactic team instructions so i can use as a reference?

    posted - I'm still tweaking it though as I'm not fully pleased with it. 
    my striker isn't scoring as many goals as I would like - most of my goals come from my midfielders.

    is anyone else finding it really difficult this year?

    actually, it's been relatively easy with managing United once you get some players in (or keep the original, if that's what you like).
    I use a vertical tiki-taka 4-1-4-1 formation and rarely lose.

    Can happen if you added the league later in the save? The game then creates extra players to make up the numbers

    oh yeah true, I added France late as I wanted to see how PSG would fair; also easier to monitor my players out on loan to France (have an affiliate there).

    So the player needs to be signed before their 19th birthday. Fine for the NewGens, but while it wasnt something i'd actually considered, the only (IRL) players ive signed who'll qualify are de Ligt & Vagnoman. Even Dalot was 19 when we signed him. 

    Hence de Ligt, Tonali and Gomez are HG for me now :)

    I think its the 3rd season when you've shed 2/3 of the original squad, brought in a younger & superior foreigners, and then start having issues with CL selection (and the issues that occur when you leave ppl out) that you realise how important the English/HG core are.

    this is the biggest reason why you scout and buy regens (or young players) early so they have time to become "homegrown".
    for e.g., my Tonali, de Ligt, Sergio Gomez, etc are all considered HG (I'm in Jan 2024)

    If you develop them well they can be, especially Chong. On my beta save with Pompey, the AI Man Utd developed Chong to be an incredible player.

    I'm hoping to do the same with any luck.

    not sure if it's worth it - I'll keep them around for a few seasons more to see how they develop; but not looking good compared to some of the new regens coming out :\

    What the hell tactics are you all using cause I’m doing ok on my save but drawing way too many games and find that in the draws my players do almost nothing

    4-1-4-1 Custom Vertical Tiki-Taka with world-class or elite (don't know the diff tbh) players in every position.
