Sidnv Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Had a great first season. Brought in Ganso, Thiago in August and M'Vila in Jan. Won the league unbeaten and the Champion's league in the 81st minute against Real. Got lucky by not having to face Barca and faced a Madrid sans Ronaldo. Rooney scored 48 and Ashley Young was English Footballer of the year. Second season bought Hazard and Rossi. Started well but the game has got tougher. Cannot get my players to stop shooting. I want to shoot Nani in the head, he takes at least 6 shots a game. I'm averaging 20 shots per game which is ridiculous with half my players told to not shoot. Finding it hard to get rid of dead wood. Had to let Berba go on a free just to get rid of his wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyer21 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I wouldn't normally ask this type of question but with United being blessed with a couple of great defenders, should i sell Vidic for £48m after first season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braundjoh Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Anyone got much use out of Giggs? He's played 19, scored 5 and got an average rating of 7.42 for me by December 6th. Not too bad for a 37 year old Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomfawcett Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 first season went well, league cup, league and champs league win, despite hernandez broken leg 6 months out, welbeck 3 months out and rooney6 weeks out all in march!!! Without these 3 (and I sold berba) diouf and macheda stepped up and I just about got by till rooney returned. weirdly though played barca in champs league final (after doing city on pens in the semi) and they started messi and villa on the bench, I was 3 nil up before they came on. They were a little tired but I couldn't believe my luck!!! Focussing on youth so not bought any first team players but brought in erick torres, carlos fierro, crisetig and delofeu for youth. Pogba and morrison played 10 - 15 games last season and both did well, hope to really get them involved and developed this year. Trying to have a summer clear out now but finding it very hard to get rid of players, managed to sell Park, Lindegaard and Carrick. Just a few more to ship out to make room for the kids.

tomfawcett Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 only played him twice, once in champs league semi and once in the final and he scored in both. one off the bench at that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabio MVP Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 All the results so far. i couldn't care less for League Cup and Community Shield in the first season. In League Cup I used players who are not Match Fit/Fully Fit/In Superb Condition. My aims are ti be first or second in the league (I chose Title Challenge at the beginning) and the reach finals of Cl and FA Cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyer21 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I'm looking for a striker to play as a deep lying forward, as a backup to Rooney. Berbatov has been sold. Any suggestions? Anyone had any luck with Jovetic? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JawKam Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I just started my first season with United. I was wondering for anybody that brought Ross Barkley in? Who did you get him tutored by? Aye I did. 7.5m up front and then 10m over 48 + 1m for 1st international. Haven't decided what to do with him yet since he'll be heading off to U20s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braundjoh Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Got through a rough patch after a 1-1 draw at Liverpool, a 1-0 loss to Chelsea and a shameful 2-0 defeat to West Brom. We beat Tottenham in the League Cup quarters after equalising in the 85th minute, and then smashed Fulham 4-0. Transfer wise, trying to get Pato although money is a stumbling box. He wants to leave Milan, and wants to come here, but Milan don't want to budge on the price. Maybe next year. Also, a transfer target for me earlier in the season, Labyad, has his contract expiring in 6 months, so I can approach to sign him for free. Lovely.

Sidnv Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Just had the misfortune of being drawn with Barca in the round of 16. My fault really. Came second in the group to Milan because I drew away to Bremen. Interestingly, I drew Milan first season too but they didn't even qualify out of the group.

ZeePalin Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Lavvezi is proving to be a quality signing, i can play him AML/R/C or Striker 1 goal in 2games with 4 assists. Beautiful play. Bad news though.. I lost twice to City.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeePalin Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I seen you guys having succes with giggs, so i start him Away vs Stoke, he has a MOTM winning performance, sadly, he got ingured in the 89th Minute and is out for 3-4 Months with a torn calf muscle. What a bad final season for Giggs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spector Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I started a game yesterday. Sold Park, Carrick, PIG and Diouf for total 22,5M.. Also loaned Gibson, Pogba, Macheda and few others.. And i bought, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Björn Sigurdarson, Emre Can, Douglas Costa and Álvaro Vadillo for total 31M.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpjh Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 pfft. after feeling so pissed about the match yesterday, I could not sleep. decided to play FM. Splashed out a bit for youngsters. Sold P.I.G to Real, Carrick to At.Marid and Berba to Arsenal(no one else came in with a bid), Diouf to Udinese. cant get rid of gibson and owen. Bought quite a number of youngsters, Kwadwo Asamoah and Cavani. and this is how I started so far. Community Shield, won City 4-2. First game of the league, away to City, won them 5-1. felt just that little bit better and decided to head to bed. shall continue with my game now and will update again. hopefully I can try to be a little more active in the forum(: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
liamf_07 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Haven't been on here in a while. God guide btw. Thought of say Douglas costa is an amazing prospect. Played him once in the league and a couple of times in champs league and league cup and has performed every time. Scores the odd free kick too.

I\'m me Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Anyone got much use out of Giggs? He's played 19, scored 5 and got an average rating of 7.42 for me by December 6th. Not too bad for a 37 year old I'm into March in my game and Giggs has been involved in 26 games so far, scored 3 made 9 and has a 7.15 average rating. He has also become a player coach, meaning he will probably be phased out next season with some youth coming through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILuvManUforeva Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Ok, I know I've not been in for a while. Unfortunately religious holidays meant I couldn't get in here, and meant I couldn't even get the game on Friday. But I'm back now and just getting my new game started. I always disable transfer budgets to start the game, so let's see how I get on. One thing Fabio, I must be going blind (it is very likely) but I can't find your training schedules anywhere in the OP.

gareth250480 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I have only bought in 1 1st teamer in douglas costa with the rest of mine being players under 20 that should develop into very good players. Looking at spending the 2nd season budget on Gotze though so trying to unsettle him. Would also like to buy subotic but will have to see if funds allow it in 2nd season.

Braundjoh Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 My aim, transfer wise, for the second season is another top class striker. As I said earlier, Pato is transfer listed by request so I'll try and negotiate a reasonable price. Also, does anyone know when Brazilian regens are created? I used to, but it's all changed now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I\'m me Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Just finished my first season in charge at Old Trafford and ended with a League and European Cup Double. Using the current squad, no players were bought in at all. Premiership: Finished a point clear of Chelsea and Tottenham winning it on the final day of the season with a 3-1 victory at the Emirates. We would have been much more comfortable if not for my players knack of getting sent off early in games. I had 6 red cards through season 5 of which were inside the first 30 minutes. We also seemed to struggle against lower rep teams often struggling to break them down. Included in this was a 0-0 at Old Trafford with Blackburn and a 1-0 loss to Sunderland at the stadium of light. That being said however we put in some gutsy performances too, winning 3-0 at Stamford bridge thanks to an immense game from Nemanja Vidic at the back and some class finishing from Danny Welbeck. We gained a credible 1-0 victory over Man City also, Hernandez doing the damage in the 89th minutes thanks to great work from Antonio Valencia. Final Standing: 1st PLD 38 Won 27 Drawn 7 Lost 4 For 104 Against 25 Points 88 Top League Scorer: Niklas Bendtner (26) (Wayne Rooney Scored 23 for us) Player of the season: Antonio Valencia (Wayne Rooney 2nd) Young Player of the season Javier Hernandez Players player of the year Luka Modric Manager of the year Harry Redknapp (I was second) FA Cup - Knocked out by Liverpool 1-0 (winners Tottenham) League cup - Knocked out by Chelsea 3-1 (winners Tottenham) Europe: Ended up winning this one 3-1 against Barcelona in the final, three first half goals from Hernandez (2) and Young enough to give us victory over our old rivals.The joy of winning the competetion owes much to the spirit of the side in the earlier rounds though. In the first knockout stage we battled to an 3-2 victory over Dortmund scoring a late winner in extra time after having Rafeal sent off early and going down to NINE when Hernandez injured himself. This followed by a 3-1 victory against Inter Milan, again we did it the hard way winning both matches with less than 11 players on the pitch. De Gea having his best two matches of the season. Finally the semi final bought us up against Man City. A 0-0 at Old Trafford left them favourites at Eastlands. However a gutsy defensive display and a stunning late penalty save from Anders Lindegaard meant that Rooneys 45th minute strike was enough to take us into yet another final with Barcelona. Competetion Stats: Winner 3-1 vs Barcelona Player of the tournament: Lionel Messi Top Scorer: Lionel Messi (18) (Rooney finished with 12 for us) Player stats: Ave Rating: Antonio Valencia 7.78 Rio Ferdinand 7.65 Wayne Rooney 7.63 Most Assists: Ashley Young 21 Wayne Rooney 20 Antonio Valencia 18 Most Goals: Wayne Rooney 38 Javier Hernandez 31 Danny Welbeck 21 Player of the season: This was a tough call between Wayne and Valencia, but due down to how much he surprised me I have to go with Antonio. Players in and outs: In: Michael Essien - Chelsea - £4.2m Out: PIG - Released Gibson - Released Tom Thorpe - Wolves - £425k Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamessmith Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 In june 2012 at the moment, I only bought Modric (board) in the first season and won the quadruple. Just bought Hazard for £29 million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJ Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Do you have to register Jones in the first season for EPL and CL? Thought it said players who are 20 or younger on 1.1.2011 do not have to be registered, so I didn't register him (born february '92) and now he can't play in the champions league. What am I doing wrong? edit: Never mind, rules also state he has to be at the club for 2 years. My mistake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
