lenno78 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I cannot seem to get settled on a long term save due to my unwanted ability to be indecisive with tactics and what formation to to play etc etc. I can never decide to use a formation to suit the team i have or always stick with a particular formation and tactic/style of play, its doing my head in!! So i would like to know what the majority of you guys do please, all feedback welcome!! Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try Aston Villa, after the financial difficulties of having no money to spend & high earners on the books it is a great journey and after the deadwood can be moved on there is the base of good young team in the making there!

1967 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Hi guys. I want to focus my next save on youth development but finding the right team is proving to be tricky. The main problem I'm having is there being too many excellent youngsters in the teams with good facilities, it makes it too overwhelming to try to give them all the care they deserve! I'm not too bothered about stature or country, but some decent prospects and the potential for more are a must. To get technical, and as a bit of an aside, I've been toying with the idea of what kind of youths I would need to acquire to become a decent team in Europe, such as Last 16 CL or knockout rounds of the Europa League - I'm thinking rated 145/150 pa - then find a team which has the resources but not the immediate expectations to bring 16/20 of these young players together in two or three seasons and then in a few more years time to bring these youth up to potential and get to the aforementioned level. Could be interesting? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried this before, but can't get into it because of a lack of interest during the first couple of years. So an additional consideration is to have a solid mid-table team already, that upon retirement I can eventually offer staff jobs. Make it interesting!

They do have a good squad but Ajax have an incredible squad for this division so you aren't a certainty for the title. Highlight of managing alot of young Dutch stars and the one Dries Mertens.

Maestroik Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Thanks for your reply. PSV will be challenging for the title if I'm not mistaken. I was looking at Eredivise but more into Twente, AZ, Utrecht, Heerenveen or Groningen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally I go for Chelsea or Tottenham, and they are options. I'm a Man Utd fan, so not them, as my games are always with them. Not got time for LLM. Would play Classic Mode, but then I can't use the update.

Newcastle have a few players you can ship out like Gosling, Ryan Taylor etc for you to generate your own funds as clubs are usually interested in them when you offer them out.
