A Double K Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Little update: Sitting 3rd in the league, 2 points behind 2nd (Chelsea) and 6 points behind City who are 1st. And I'm 2 points ahead of Utd, and if Everton win their game in hand, they'll be 3 points behind me and 5th. Arsenal are sitting in 10th atm, 15 games into the season. Got knocked out the Champs League, finished 3rd. Unfortunately the team didn't perform against Zenit and so due to the results thing, I was placed third even though we point ended on 9 points. Although, in the long run, I just beat Barcelona 1-0 at home, so might help with the confidence of the team (if you see what I mean). The games are coming thick and fast, though the scheduling should have been done better as I am in the middle of 6 games in 17 days. Oh and I got Man City for the 3rd rnd of FA Cup. Why do I always get the hardest teams? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staf9 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Does he get game time in your save ? I sold him. hes still only 17 and I got them to pay most of the money upfront. and I have a regen forward who can play AML as well so it means I can give him more games as he's not getting a lot up front Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabine Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Tested for the first time this save and all was well until they got 3 goals in 3 minutes without me barely getting a chance to even change anything. Was willing to accept the draw until Suso scored in the dying minutes of the game! Delighted with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staf9 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 missed out on Kovacic, he'd agreed with Bayern. will try for him at the end of this season to replace Suso have only brought in 2 regens for season 3 and loaned them out and made Manquillo's deal permanent. Sold Umtiti & odegaard for 47m combined so up money again this window. The club finished an increase on the stadium and we hold 55000 now and have gotten the board to agree to upgrade the youth facilities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRoberts2 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Just got a new laptop so I am starting all over again.

A Double K Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I'm tempted to start again and do 3 at the back. Not sure why, maybe some part of me thinks that I'll definitely do it better than Brendan As well as this, I think I could have spent my money better and gotten some players like Gerrard to perform and actually gotten rid of the players that I did not want, instead of them sticking around and not freeing up funds. Also, think I need more squad depth and cover. This Xmas period is really beginning to show the lack of team depth with only 3 injuries. But another part of me thinks that I should see what happens with the current save. ATM, I'm near the Xmas period of first season. Scratch that: I am gonna start again. Was only in December and with the Xmas break coming up, should be able to catch up! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GR3NDAL Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Start of season 3 and a few players want to leave to go a ''bigger club'' so Mario went to Bayern, Sakho to Juventus and Moreno to Dortmund. In hindsight I should have kept Sakho. Transfers OUT Ballotelli Sakho Moreno Paloschi Luis Alberto IN Caulker Ruben Neves (free transfers) Nick Powell Youri Tielemens Of the new signing I am most happy with Neves who will be my long term replacement for Stevie G. My plan to play Sturridge up with Sinclair was scuppered when he broke his foot on England duty so Origi has stepped in and is looking like he will my top scorer this season. We have started the season well but Chelsea are setting the pace in the league winning their first 13 games! Soon they come to Anfield though...

Sabine Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 A quickfire trio of goals in the 11th, 14th and 19th minute got us to a great start. We held onto half time despite relentless attacking from Chelsea. In the second half, I completely changed my tactic, dropping down Coutinho (then Gerrard after Coutinho got tired) to the CM/AP position, made Henderson and Romero ball winning midfielders and contained for the rest of the game. A bit cheap, but it worked well and this is by far the best performance of my save so far (probably of any save I've had on this version actually). (If people don't like these single match reports, I'll stop them) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamLFC Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Could anyone recommend a good keeper to replace Migs? Also would Lucas Romero do well in the DLP-Defend or would i have to change my tactics? Cheers and a Merry Christmas to all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers and a Merry Christmas to all I'm about to sign Timo Horn for £7m - he'll probably be my no.1 keeper I hope. Gonna try get rid of Jones. Hmm, not sure about that role for Romero but it may be worth a try? He can play many roles I feel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabine Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Romero is extremely versatile, he's great in almost any role in the central midfield and defensive midfield positions. Personally I play him as a Central Midfielder/Attack and he's amazing for me in that role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Double K Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 About to start the proper season - Home against Hull. Trickett Smith is dubbed as the next Paul Gascoigne for me atm, which was quite a surprise. Will see how his and Wilson's development goes as they've both gone off on loan for 5 months. Here's the transfers - don't feel that there'll be anymore: IN - Marco Ramkilde - free - Jesus Vallejo - £675k - Kristoffer Ajer - £1m - John Hou Saeter - £25k - Dragisa Guldej - £800k - Balanta - £5m - Timo Horn - £7m - Ante Coric - £1.1m - Clement Grenier - £11m - Lucas Romero - £7m - Bakkali - £8m TOTAL - £41.5m OUT G.Johnson - £14m Borini - £12m K.Toure - 500k Lucas Leiva - £7m (wanted more ) Some younger players on loan TOTAL - £33.5m Quite a few younger players that I'll be playing in the capital one cup with the younger defenders, I am quite happy with the future defenders that I'll have at the club - hopefully for a long long time! Wanted to sell more players, Skrtel and Allen mainly but no-one wanted them unfortunately. C.Grenier got injured for a couple of weeks to a month or two, which was annoying but hopefully I'll be able to cope. I'm optimistic that this team will do me proud.

How much did they all set you back Pogba I had on last save, he was a beast, won games all by himself. Alaba I knew was always class, never used him before in 2015, Leno does look quite good as main goal. I spread most of my transfers over 48mths this time. Alaba $58m in total (possibly) Leno $24.5m Pogba $70m As you can see, I am not afraid to put lots of cash on the line if I know I will get it back, Alaba and Pogba are amazing, and worth the money.

Britton5 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 even at 58m, i think thats a bargain for Alaba. Plus, he is just as useful playing in central midfield mate from my experience on a Bayern save. Great buys mate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
