Fabio MVP Posted October 8, 2011 Author Share Posted October 8, 2011 Leandro Damiao ST looks absolute class. Just signed sven bender from dortmund for £9.5m as rotation for fletcher. has some good stats. also had a bid of £9.5m accepted for javi garcia from benfica also but went for bender instead as slightly better defensively which i wanted Damiao looks very good. Bender indeed does looks better then Garcia, but I won't be going for them as I don't use DM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bender is playing as an MC for me as a ball winning midfielder on defence duty. he just made his debut in my 1st league game against QPR and scored 1 and got 1 assist with a rating of 9.0. early days but looks promising.

Hood Legend Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Who are people finding to be hot prospects for the future? I'm not thinking of our own players. I want to have in mind such players, so I can consider buying them in the second season. Have a look at Felipe Anderson from Santos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabio MVP Posted October 8, 2011 Author Share Posted October 8, 2011 Really hope Pogba turns out well on this version, he's amazing Indeed he is. Quite improved since 11.3. I'll be using him as a rotation for Carrick until Fletch recovers. Then Fletcher will be first choice and Carrick his rotation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnlikelyStory Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Still getting to grips with the demo. My main issue is sorting out the tactics really. Trying to find a decent attacking tactic that United play. Thinking Hernandez as a poacher, Rooney as a Deep Lying Forward and Nani as an Inside Forward. No idea what to do with the central midfielders or the team instructions. Anyone offer suggestions? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea what to do with the central midfielders or the team instructions. Anyone offer suggestions? Chihca as a Advanced Forward and Rooney as a Deep Lying Forward (Support), so he can feed him with balls. AMR & AML as Winger (Attack), so they can go byline and put crosses in. Chicha and Rooney might get at the end of those crosses. MCa Central Midfielder (Support) and MCd Ball inning Midfielder (Defend). Philosophy: Balanced, Strategy: Standard. That's how I play and during the matches I adjust everything depending on match situations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong on this one mate, but I'd never have two players on Attack duty. i always have one on Attack and one on Support. That way they drag center backs on two sides, so that leaves a lot of space for striker on Attack duty to use. But, as long as it's working for you don't change it.

Sampa Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Adryan gets a good scout report. He could potentially be awesome. Also possibly Casemiro. Seydou Doumbia isn't that young but he looks like he'll be awesome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sampa Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 How much do people pay for Damiao? Didn't offer for him at all, but scout report says around £23m. I'm definitely going to get him in my full game. Lucas Moura, Neymar, Mario Gotze and Ganso are obviously the heavyweights of the young players though. But of course there's also Toni Kroos, Thiago, Hazard (obviously), Varane. Also, Kyriakos Papadopoulos. He looks like he could become an absolute tank. Will get him in the full game too and see.

I have rooney set as an advanced forward but have only slightly tweaked his settings. I have him to roam from position and put him on through balls as often. i know its early days and i am not that great with tactics on fm admittedly but so far rooney has 5 goals and 2 assists in 3 games and chicharito has 5 goals in 2 games. I also have my AMR & AML on winger attack and have tweaked them to have their wide play as normal so that they dont just hug the line as both nani and young are equally as good coming inside also and i have both to roam from position also. The thinking behind this was that those 3 would all roam around and effectively swap positions like they are doing in reality at present. So far its working and i am playing some nice football with all 4 scoring and assisting. Will see how it goes though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sampa Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Sarabia is a very good shout. Didn't know you bought Cavani. How much did you pay for him? How is he performing? I love Cavani, couldn't resist. And it's the demo so... Paid £28m over 48 months. He was doing good, but it was Hernandez that was destroying teams with his great form, was banging them in. Then Cavani hit his form and was doing great, then netted a hat-trick against Bolton and they didn't appreciate it so he's out for just over a month. In all competitions: 9 (1) appearances, 8 goals, 1 assist. In the league: 6 (1) appearances, 7 goals, 1 assist. EDIT: He had scored 6 in his last 3 games.

xx11 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Brilliant opening post Got game installed on main pc, but not a chance to play yet. Just about to install steam on laptop though simply for this demo. lol. More likely to use it that way. Anyways. I probably start with my pretty normal formation from the last version, but I will manually set it up instead of moving it over... that way I am more likely to adapt it for the players I want to use. Namely no DMC, just use 2 MC's. Think I will look to go with my prefered team for the real squad. I will not purchase players at all though on the first play through as I would focus on youth and there no point in demo. As such the team will be: De Gea, Rafael, Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra, Anderson, Cleverly, Nani, Young, Rooney, Hernandez Tactic: 4-2-2-2, Fluid With luck be succesful as last one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
