berkshirevilla Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 what would you say is a good number for a premier league side i'm thinking 26 or would this be too many? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlindqui43 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 i like having 23... 15 players I am 100 percent comfortable playing with at any moment with the other 8 back ups or youth players... that is just me though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keroppi Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Who are you managing? A top side that's playing in Europe and is expected to reach the late stage of all the competitions, or a bottom side that's just fighting against relegation? The number of games played could differ by 70% - 80% (rough guesstimate) and so required a lot less / more players to maintain a particular standard.

phnompenhandy Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 26 would be fine as a maximum. Make sure you don't have too many with 'key player' or 'first team' squad status. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roseboy64 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 26 is a bit much but could be fine if they're just prospects you give the odd game to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloydey Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Don't get another ST - that will give you 5 strikers. As you play 2 up top this is too many. Unless the last ST is a youngster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArcticMonkeys1988 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Wish I could get my squad down to a lower number, I'm currently playing as Arsenal and I start pretty much every season with a squad of 30+, i'm just not ruthless enough to get rid of players who I consider to be decent enough, but not actually good enough to play regularly. That said, only 2/3 of them are actually unhappy at playing a lack of games, so it's not too bad at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebu Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 25 is the perfect number of course depending on expectations/economics etc. As a top team, expected to challenge in Europe and in the League you'll want to be able to rotatate in "easier" games. Ideally at least 5 of those backup players should be young, but already good players you can help develop through 1st team games. Have at least 3 players for each wing, I also generally have 5 attackers for 2 spots, preferably different type of attackers for different situations, IE boxplayer/playing attacker/fast attacker etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
berkshirevilla Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share Posted June 5, 2009 I have it down to the bottom of the page usually, i hate having to scroll for players Ha ha like this i have got a few youngsters on my books who could do with a little first team action so i might include them and also set them available for loan so they get football either way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
