Friel Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Yeah, no problem. Their mental stats let a few of them down big time. Butt has 4 and a half stars for tactics training, and Gary and Phil Neville are both 4 star coaches so they're some of the best in the game. Rio and Giggs are 3 and a half star but I'll bare with them, see if they improve.

Won the Com.shield, won the world cup for clubs and won the EPL on the last day (finished four points above Spurs and Chelsea). Lost in the quarter finals against Barcelona after Pen's.. i played without 7 first choice player in that game.. an amazing performance.. Old trafford will be expanded again to 100 000 and got 45milj (euro) to spend.. I missed out on Neymar(he went to Barca) , i signed Cabaye and then i decided to invest again in a lot of youngsters. Signed Will Hughes from Derby for 7.5milj , a lot of regens ..

If i need to I use Kagawa as a winger sometimes even Welbecks pretty decent because of his speed just put wide play as cut inside.

andrew bowditch Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Hi all, wondering if anyone can offer some advise on my Utd save in 2016. Im not doing too badly, second in prem on goal difference to arsenal in december, so still going strong. Ive had a takeover which cleared debts and pumped money into the cluba season or two ago so i have some extravagant signings. Problem is, my formation seems to be getting too many forward and crowding the area. This is ruining my attacking play. Just wondering if anyone can offer some advise. Team: GK - Ter Stegen (GK Defend) CB - Papadopoulos (BPD Defend) CB - Kurt Zouma (CB Cover) RWB - Rafael (Wing Back Support) LWB - Jordi Alba (Wing Back Support) DMC - Daniel De Rossi (Anchorman Defend) MC - Marco Verrati (DLP Support) AMC R - Wayne Rooney (Inside Forward attack) AMC - Jack Wilshere (Adv Playmaker support) AMC L - Lionel Messi (Inside Forward attack) ST - Newgen (Target Man attack) - Kind of like Oscar Cardozo stat wise. currently the only one playing well scored 18 in 18 games. Team is set up as Fluid Movement and Control Mentality as board complained i was not attacknig enough when it was standard or counter. Medium defensive line, medium tempo, width 3/4 of way towards wide, time wasting about 8 notches. Struggling to get the 3 AMC involved due to overcrowding.

Medium defensive line, medium tempo, width 3/4 of way towards wide, time wasting about 8 notches. Struggling to get the 3 AMC involved due to overcrowding. from the looks of it, you have wide players cutting in, a striker who looks to drop deeper (target man) and all in all, its crowding the central areas, limiting your AMC's room. Maybe putting your striker as a poacher or AF so he looks to play off the shoulder, and maybe 1 wide player as a winger will free some room up. Also take a look at the AMC position, what are the forward runs set too, and what are the PPMs of the players playing there? You want them dropping into holes and collecting the ball, so if they have a tendency to get forward when ever possible, you'll find them on the same line as the striker rather then in space.

RvP20 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 The 2012/2013 Season Just finished my first season with Manchester United and I won the Premier League title quite comfortably, but the results in the other competitions were disappointing. Got knocked out away at Brighton in the 3rd round of the Capital One Cup, and Chelsea beat me at Old Trafford in a 5th round replay in the FA Cup. In the Champions League I faced Zenit, Cluj and Copenhagen in the group stages. Finished comfortably at the top of the group after a draw and five wins. But I was desperately unlucky when I drew Barcelona in the first knock out stage. The first leg was at Nou Camp and I set up defensively. It took Barcelona less than 15 minutes to take the lead through Busquets, but just a couple of minutes later the same man recieved his second booking. With a man more for more than an hour I thought we had a great chance of getting at least a draw for the return leg. But regardless of any tactical changes I made, Barcelona absolutely battered me and if had not been for several great saves by De Gea we would have lost more by than 3-0. I obviously needed a miracle at Old Trafford and while a 4-3 win was pleasing, it was far from enough to go through. How on earth do you stop Messi when he runs at your defence? We got off to a great start in the Premier League winning 9 and drawing 2 games in the first 11 games. At the moment when we looked unbeatable we suffered three very surprising defeats on the spin. First away to QPR, then the one and only home defeat in the league to Swansea and at Anfield to a struggling Liverpool. All of a sudden the title race was wide open again before heading into a hectic December month. We bounced back strongly securing impressive wins at home to title contenders Newcastle and Tottenham. The highlight though was a convincing 3-0 win at Etihad which meant that our neighbours realistically were ruled out of the title race with still half of the season remaining. After that we never really looked back and despite the odd hiccup I never felt we were in danger of giving away the title. On paper the title was secured after a 3-0 win at home to Fulham. With only three games to go and having a 9 point lead on Chelsea as well as a superior goal difference we were uncatchable. I therefore fielded weakened teams giving some of the youngsters and fringe players the faith in the two next fixtures. We lost both, but when Chelsea dropped points at Southampton we were officially crowned champions with one game remaining. Old Trafford was getting ready for a party, but City were the opponents looking to spoil it. Becuase of the rivalry, but also the eagerness to finish the season on a high I played nearly my strongest team possible this time. City were hammered 5-2 even though we had to play the game with 10 men for more than an hour after Rafael was sent off. A great finish to a decent enough season, but there’s a lot of room for improvement come the next season. I did not get rid of any notable first team players and Maroune Fellaini for £23M was my only signing. As expected he is a beast and certainly worth the money, but he missed 3 months of the season with a injury. Robin van Persie though suffered the worst injury as he was ruled out for 5 months after a broken leg in only his second game for the club. Fortunately Rooney was simply outstanding in his abscence scoring goals for fun before Christmas. Everybody chipped in with goals, but I'm a bit disappointed of the goal return from my wide players. As for the next season I am really unsure about what to do in terms of tactics and transfers. I’m obviously very pleased about the amount of goals scored, but if we want to rule Europe again I have to tighten up at the back to stand a chance against the likes of Barcelona. I played a 4-2-2-2 with two wide players in the traditional United way for the majority of the season, except for a more solid 4-3-3 in certain games. I’m now considering changing to a narrow midfield diamond (4-1-2-1-2) on a regular basis, but it’s hard to imagine United playing without wingers. It would mean I would have to get rid of at least one of Young and Nani, maybe both, but I would hopefully get the best out of Kagawa by playing him behind the strikers. Nani was the player who provided most assists in my first season, but he can be such a frustrating player. His ability to beat several defenders is amazing, but instead of picking the right pass he constantly smashes shots all over the place. In general I feel long shots very rarely turn into goals on this years game compared to previous versions. Anyway, what are your suggestions? Is it possible to win absolutely everything by playing 4-2-2-2 against any team? Or should I look to a change in formation? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RvP20 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Yeah, I don't doubt the quality of my defenders, but more the tactics/formations. Conceding an average of 1 goal per game is way too much. How many are you conceding? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
