Zeonflux Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 you guys struggling to keep Shaw fit?frustrating he keeps picking up injuries, i dont think hes been able to play 3 games in a row all season He's not had many injuries but did get a lower back stress fracture so he was out for about 2-3 months. Having said that when fit he's a top player. Dunno how i keep him fit as i have all players on High workload for training......must be luck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott MUFC Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I had an offer for a player accepted for 5m... didn't save, reloaded and I had to negotiate and was stuck at 8.5... that was annoying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had trouble getting him to bed into the team with my initial tactics but since changing to the current one im using he's been great and is getting plenty of goals by ghosting in as a IFa, especially with the Cuts Inside PPM Then again i've got him in a AM Strata three of: Reus IFa (AML), Di Maria APa (AMC) and Cuadrado Wa (AMR) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

velana Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Anyone faced problem of goals being scored against your team that are really limp goals? like they are totally not realistic at all?? I played Chelsea last night in the BPL and Hazard scored at the 9th minute with what i will call a lame shot. the ball was bouncing and just looked really really impossible to go in, but some how DDG managed to let that in, i replayed the goal and saw that he did not even stretch out his hands, it's like he purposely let the ball in... I know the match engines aren't meant to be totally realistic, but good God, it's ******* to watch your multi-million dollar players play like high-schoolers and they even ran like 3year olds!

crestofadave Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Recently started a new game, made some decent signings. Set up a deal for William Carvalho - Ten million up front with add ons for goals appearances etc and a one season loan back. When it came to finalizing his management team asked for 12 million more. I rejected it (in haste) and am now slightly regretting it. Is he worth that kind of cash - or is there some other young player who can replace him? Leon Goretzka maybe?

Hoarau Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I spent £9m on securing 3 young Romanian's in Niscor Stanciu, Gabriel Iancu and Dorin Rotariu. My scouts are particularly excited about Rotariu claiming he could become one of the best players at the club. Aside from them I've brought in Reus and Dede who have walked I to the team. My only other real business is currently being negotiated, talks are on going to being either Lars or Sven Bender to the club, not sure who to go with.. Leaning towards Lars.

oneronaldo Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 am i the only one that cant score from crosses! doesnt say alot about my tactical prowess considering everyone else is scoring them for fun. cleon has even stopped playing until the issue is addressed!! Here are 2 screenshots of my tactic for reference, I score alot from crosses (mostly Luke Shaw & Rafael bombing down the flanks) and Falcao finishing it off. No guarantees it will work though, I might have just struck gold with Shaw/Rafael's crossing and form A little explanation of how this tactic works. As you can see Luke Shaw (or whatever left back you intend to use) has the freedom of the entire flank to himself, he will be supported by a) the Roaming Playmaker pulling wide & b) the Defensive Forward pulling wide/coming deep. The entire idea is to give the ball to the CWB who will then take on his man and swing in a cross for the Poacher or whoever is lucky to enough to on the end of it. Of course, not every cross must come from the left flank, you have a right back too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also got Youri Tielemans in for a similar fee and my assistants report says he "has the potential to be a world class central midfielder" Only reason I'm avoiding Samper is because I want to ensure I can loan whoever I buy out until I'm back in the Champions League, and no point in loaning him back to Barca (picky I know!) Although it will likely end up as him and try and loan him to someone else. Thanks to Hoarau and oneronaldo for suggestions also! Will scout these guys and hopefully they'll be a fraction of the cost of Carvalho! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlivierL Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Just played my first games on the 'full game' and Falcao still scoring( 34th league goal in 22 games !!) and Rafael still crossing/assisting (15th assist in 19th games for him) Also decided to let Carrick go and probably will sell herrera at the end of this season. Romero en Hughes are doing a damn good job in the midfield and Fellaini and Mata are fit. Di maria also almost fit after missing him since september.

enders357 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 What are people getting out of RvP? I think I'm going to have to either let Falcao leave at the end of the first season or, possibly, sell RvP to fund a permanent move for Falcao. Being a couple of years younger, and having seen Rooney and Falcao outperform RvP so far (and James Wilson do well when called upon) I'm tempted to let him go.

scott MUFC Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 nothing wrong with picking up Samper, loan back? nah, I'm regretting loaning players back already as I have already lost di Maria and Falcao to injury.... in the first flipping league game everyone in this game gets injured, scouts find players.... they are injured... signed a player, and he did his cruciates while i was waiting for the work permit.

Dr. Pepper Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I started a new save in the beta, like many others I had a hard time signing players. I tried to get Hummels and Vidal without no luck. My biggest suprise was Valencia, he is a player that I usually sell quite quickly along with Young and Cleverly. Since I couldn't I used him. He scored 23 goals in his first season and 24 the one after and being one of my best players. I signed: Iver Fossum 700k, Eder Alvarez Balanta for 12.25m, Mattia De Sciglio for 27.5m, Galls for free, Quique for 725k, Gabriel Barbosa for 8.25m and in January Lucas Romero for 10.75m. Sold: Asheley Young for 12m to Tottenham. The next year I spent around the same, but sold for around 93m. Guys like Smalling, Rafael, Powell, Cleverly, Hernandez, Fellaini. I finished 7th the first year, 1st the second, 5th the third year and 1st the 4th. I'm now finally finding my stride with the game and team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevemc Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Manchester United 2014/15 Started my Manchester United save last night, played for 4 hours and got as far as playing 2 or my 12 pre-season friendlies, as I was overhauling my training, coaches and scouting while looking for a few players myself. Managed to bring back a few United favourites to the coaching set up: Rene... Beckham... Stam... Also have my eyes on Paul Scholes, who won't talk about a contract just yet, but also Phil & Gary Neville too. Transfers: I immediately transfer listed Anderson, Young, Amos & Lindegaard, and luckily offloaded Young (£15m to Spurs) and Anderson (£4.8m to West Ham): I've tied up a deal for Eder Balanta for around £4.8m, leaving me with Evans, Jones, Balanta, Smalling, Rojo, Blackett, McNair for centre back, though I think I might be able to get £15m for Smalling, so may cash in? Also talking with Youri Tielemans for £11m, which will probably spell the end of Darren Fletcher. Tactically, I've gone with: -------------- GK -------------- ------ CB --- CB --- CB ------ RWB ------------------- LWB ------------- CDM ------------- ------- CAM ---- CAM ------- ---------- AP ----- CF ---------- Looking at the squad, I'm planning the following: GK: De Gea, {NEW SIGNING}, Johnstone RWB: Rafael, Valencia LWB: Shaw CB: Evans, Jones, Balanta, Smalling, Rojo, Blackett, McNair CDM: Carrick, Blind, Fletcher CAM: Herrera, Di Maria, Mata, Fellaini AP: Rooney, Januzaj CF: RvP, Falcao, Wilson Looking at signing Falcao permanently, then try to bring in Valdes on a free for back up goalkeeper.

isignedupfornorealreason Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Carrying on;PL: Swansea (H) 2-0 LC: Chelsea (A) 1-2 PL: Manchester City (A) 1-0 PL: Aston Villa (H) 4-1 Ok, i lost to Chelsea but it's the league cup and I had an unfit returning from injury squad. Scored 1-0 in the first minute but just couldn't cope in the end with Costa, Oscar, Hazard and co. The City game, I battered them. Rooney in particular misses so many easy chances. And Aston Villa scored 3 goals in that 4-1 game. Van Persie wants away for first team football, he's missed a lot until the Chelsea game because he's constantly injured. Annoyed that he doesn't recognise this, I refuse to play a striker who's not fit, especially not in a one central striker tactic. >_> Storming onwards: Tough fixture run in cos, City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool all bunched up isn't a particularly nice run of games. Liverpool (A): 1-1 Away to Anfield, we secure a draw thanks to an own goal. We played awful in the first half and battered them in the second. Arsenal (H): 1-1 Battered them, but could not find a way through, we had to fight back from 0-1 down when Giroud got a sweet turn-and-shoot through Smalling's legs. -_- Chelsea (A): 4-3 Shock victory! Van Persie missed a penalty in the first minute and I thought 'oh dear...' Anderson, Rojo and Rafael net for us, Diego Costa smashes in a hattrick for them and Januzaj popped up with an absolute corker of a freekick to give us the win. Brilliant match. Newcastle (H) 2-0 Back to relative comfort, The Toon never got out of their half and had to fend of 26 shots and 8 clear cut chances and yes, only Di Maria and Mata bothered to stick it in the net. Should and could have been 10-0. West Ham (A) 1-0 I respect West Ham, they're a notorious sticky team for United. Away and in torrential rain, not much fun, Evans nets off a corner. Southampton (H) 2-1 Needed a Van Persie penalty to sneak through as we got a bit complacent. Leicester City (A) 4-0 Another Van Persie penalty put us on our way, alongside a brace from Januzaj. This game was marred by the players getting very nervous though. Stoke City (H) 3-0 Easy win. Everton (A) 2-2 Everton are a tough nut, they were resilient opposition on the opening day of the season but here they almost ruined things for me. Daley Blind netted an 85th minute equaliser to keep us top of the table though. FA CUP Third Round: Everton (H) 2-1 The FA CUP! Januzaj and Evans score for a comfortable win. Everton net in the 93rd minute, this game saw the most ridiculous referee ever, despite doing twice as many fouls as us, Everton never got a booking. -_- Tottenham (H) 4-3 Took a 3-1 lead then almost squandered it. Tottenham (A) 3-1 These two fixtures are bunched up because of Spurs being in the Europa League. We won 3-1, and we played 20 minutes with 10 men due to injuries. The media said Spurs dominated, and they may well be right but we were clinical in front of goal. Crystal Palace (A) 1-0 Struggled here, but got the win. I notice I'm not particularly amazing against a flat 4-5-1! FA Cup 4th Round: Leeds United (A) 2-1 Played the youth team, Leeds took an early lead, Harrop netted in the 45th+2 injury time for 1-1, super sub Di Maria netted in the 90+5th minute injury time for the winner. Love it! West Brom (H) 4-0 Rooney sets up 3 and scores in his super-sub return (all goals post 75th minute) from injury. Burnley (A) 1-0 Simple win really, Rooney again. Sunderland (H) 2-1 Rooney on a purple patch, scores 2 including a penalty. QPR (A) 2-2 Unbelievable game, QPR equalise in the 93rd minute, Van Persie misses a penalty in the 95th... Was fuming! FA Cup 5th Round: Stoke (H) 5-2 Van Persie makes amends with a hat-trick. Manchester City (H) 2-0 Van Persie again misses a penalty. We dominated Mancini (yes he's back) and City. Rooney opened the scoring with an absolute wonder-goal, a curler of a beauty. --- That's where I am now, February roughly, unbeaten in the league! But we're at the 'tough' fixture run again, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal all to come and a tricky away game to Swansea... Falcao left cos he wasn't getting any games. Both Van Persie and Rooney have moaned about lack of games, Januzaj is whinging too cos he wants to join Roma for Champs League football, but I talked him around and now he wants first team football -_- Tyler Blackett is on the transfer list cos he wants first team football as well! Overall, quite proud of my run. We're about 15 or so points ahead of Arsenal who have only lost one game but have drawn a mammoth 10 away fixtures, which is what has given us the breathing room.
