sounder22 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 im halfway through the second season with utd, play 4-3-3 with one stiker and rooney, hernandez and macheda vying for that spot (beast, mini-beast and beast in the making). now i am going to have to sell valencia to make room for rooney on the right AM so i can bring in babacar, meaning my lone striker would be no older than 22 and usually 18, or revert back to my secondary formation, 4-4-2, which would leave new signing rodwell without a 1st team slot (and i also dont like playing ganso in a two man centre midfield away from home). oh the dilemma...

f0rmat Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 PPM are places shots, does not dive into tackles. Playing him in a 4-3-1-2 as a poacher with Torres in a complete forward role. Any advice? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt1389 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Poacher doesn't suit him imo. I play him as a target man/advanced forward mostly. Alongside Torres I'd probably play him as an attacking target man with Torres as an advanced forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
f0rmat Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Thanks Matt. I'll try that. I've been playing him on the left of the front two. Should I try switching him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

little_devil Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Used him as a target man alongside Defoe, he's done well for me, cost 17 mil though , his agents a b******d though, all types of extreme demands and very low patience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackEdwards Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Class player, scored 20 in 35 last season with 21 assists, Aguero got 35 in 35. Once Aguero goes in a couple of years then Babacar will switch from my Support ST to my poacher. Has about 8 years ahead of him and I hope he scored 300+ Goals in that time.

Cleon Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I am trying to buy him now for Sheffield United in the second season (after getting promoted first season). Fiorentina are demanding £24.75 million for him and I can't afford that just yet. In January they gave me £15 million to strengthen so bid for it but there having none of it. I'll have to try and get him at the start of season 3. I just hope they don't ask for even more money for him then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveDaveDave Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I signed him for £18m + £4m when he scores 50 league goals. At first he wanted £165,000 per week, but I got him down to £95,000 - in fact there was no argument about it, he accepted straight away. Anyway, he hasn't been great for me. 16 in 35(7) league games and 28 in 55(10) in all comps. That's in a season and a half, and he's 23 years old. I'm playing him as a complete forward with two deep-lying forwards. Any tips? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
man_utd_fan Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I signed him and played him for about a season and a half, as a complete forward. He scores goals, but he keeps missing loads of chances as well. Maybe because he is one footed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dane0 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I just took over Tottenham in late 2012 and after 7 matches watching Defoe, Pavlyuchenko and Keane sending shots everywhere, except for into the back of the net I splashed £ 22M and £ 83K a week on this guy. The debut went exceedingly well, as he scored after just 39 seconds and added another one later on. Will be enjoying having him in my team I think :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
truegaffer Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 just signed babacar for £15 million its the season 2014 ( i signed him in 2013, but allowed him to stay at fiorentina til end of italian season) I am reverting my double european champions arsenal to a 4-4-2 formation as my 4-5-1 formation we struggled against 4-4-2 teams (it seems man city, man utd, chelski, liverpool have all reverted to 4-4-2) I want Babacar to parnter Van Persie up top, I have Van Persie playing the "Complete forward" in attacking mode, but not too sure how to play babacar - as van persie is set as complete forward I am thinking of playing him as a poacher, as i want him to always be in the box, as i like my winger to cross from the byline and to drill them to the back post can anyone give me some advice - to assist I have Eden Hazard left wing and will probably have Zarate or Walcott right wing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
truegaffer Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 playing a 4-4-2 with rvp or chamakh as complete forward with babacar as advanced forward, 23 goals in his 1st 23 games aint bad, is a real poacher in the box thou!!! so far so good, sometime worry though it takes him a couple of chances to then score. causes trouble for the centre backs very rarely will he not win a header!!!

JD nawrat Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Despite his changes since the new patch, I decided to buy Babacar for my Man City team at the beginning of the game, at a relatively cheap £12.5M, well, cheap by City's standards. I'm playing a 4-4-2, so he's the third choice striker, even at 17 years old. He isn't half bad, by the way. He's being tutoured by Tevez. He scored on his league debut in a 5-0 thumping over Wolves. Off the bench, mind you, but still. He's not looked so great in the 3 other starts I've given him, but that's mainly because I have no idea how to play him and haven't put much thought into it. He's played as Complete Forward Attack a few times and being ineffective for the most part. He works coming off the bench as a Poacher, but not starting. I will try out Target Man Attack next. I can only hope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AcidBurn Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I am in 2028 and Babacar is still with Fiorentina and has 164 caps with 179 goals, thought those were some pretty crazy stats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
