hollafront Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Hi would welcome some help please. I'm in my third season with Chelsea. We just won the Premier League and Champions League in the second season but this new season has gone completely wrong and I don't understand how. From having a solid defence the previous season we are now conceding goals every game and are struggling too score. The squad is the same with only Lionel Messi and Keirrison joining. I am using the same tactics from the previous season too. I am currently 14th in the league - Played 7 Won 1 Drawn 3 Lost 3 For 9 Ag 11 This is my squad. Goalkeepers Petr Cech Fredrico Vilar Defenders Domenico Criscito Branislav Ivanovic John Terry Fredrico Fazio Gerard Pique Ashley Cole Daniel Opare Central Midfield Andrea Pirlo John Obi Mikel Franco Zuculini Kaka Franck Lampard Michael Essien Canales Guilherme Wide Players Ronaldinho Leo Messi Ibrahim Affelay Salomon Kalou Henri Saivet Strikers Pato Keirrison Eden Dzeko This would generally be my Starting XI and formation ............Cech Opare Pique Terry A.Cole .............Pirlo ......Essien Lampard/Kaka Messi...................Ronaldinho .........Pato/Keirrison Its basically the same starting XI that won the double with only Messi being the main additon to the starting line up. I'm worried about the defence because last season any combo i used was solid so any ideas on how to stop the rot would be welcome?? :confused: Thanks:) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamFitz Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 These are the transfers I have made for my first season. Vagner Love: Always scores goals, 4 in 3 so far. Vincent Enyeama: Needed a back-up keeper, 75k off of my feeder club, not gonna turn it down. Yohan Cabaye: Did brilliant for me in my Fiorentina game, and even as back-up he's a good player. Daniel Opare: One for the future, needs a work permit so he's gone on loan to Westerlo. Razvan Ochirosii: 500k is cheap, if he doesn't do well here he can be sold for good money. On loan at Westerlo. Peter Masilela: Nothing more than back-up, we had one left-back before this. Alberto Paloschi: For £2m he should be great in the future. Jan Polak: Was great for me on 08 so looked him up on this, was on the transfer list at £35k, couldn't say no. Gone on loan to Westerlo. Rajko Brezancic: Will probably sell him on for some money, £8k was nothing so went for it, needs a work permit so at Westerlo. Mamadou Sakho: When Ricky went I needed a good replacement, so I got him. Stefan Radu: Just for more back-up at the back, he should develop well. Germán Pacheco: Developed well in my mate's game and he doesn't look to bad. Gone to Westerlo as he needs a work permit. Cristián Zapata: Replacing Carvalho along with Sakho, £23m for two quality CBs in my opinion. Franco Zuculini: Coming in January for £500k, if he doesn't do well here will always make good money. Tried to get Tsvetomir Todorov but the co-owning crap made sure the deal didn't go true in time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oypus Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Oh, the irony. By the way, how well does Gael Kakuta turn out to be in your saves? I had to start him twice as both my starting left winger and backup left winger were injured. All the coaches said he's a selfish player, but he got one assist in each game. I have Angel Di Maria starting, and Kalou was the backup. He looks decent currently, but my best coach tells me he will be a leading Premier Division left winger. I know Di Maria is better (his ratings are incredible), just wondering how much Kakuta can be worth in a few years. Also, Hulk is . Him and Balotelli have been attempting to outscore each other while I rotate the two as starter. Hulk has had the best so far, and is generally playing better. He put two past Akinfeev in the Champions League. (If Ashley Cole hadn't gotten a red card, it would have been a great victory.) Then again, Balotelli celebrated his first appearance for Italy by scoring a hat trick. Too bad he never does that for me... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
messi Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I always sell Kakuta for a couple of million after a season or two. He's average at best, think Nani...is Di Maria any good? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSJ3-BROLLY Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Drogba is now 32 in pre-season before the start of my third season, Lyon have offered £20mil for him, i'm a bit miffed in what to do as he's been a goal machine for me but i also know that i may not get another opportunity to offload him for that much, considering his age. When is the best time to offload him? He doesn't seem to be slowing down in my game, his stats continue to get refined (especially his mental ones) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ditler Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Hi, this is my squad, third season, I've won every trophy available to me so far, so I'm able to sign anyone. I'm making a £5m profit a month, so I have a large transfer budget. Just hit January of 2010, so heres my squad, any improvements needed? Goalkeepers Victor Valdes Vincenzo Fiorillo Defenders Michael Mancienne Micah Richards Mamadou Sakho Federico Fazio Vincent Kompany Joe Mattock Davide Santon Midfielders Daniele De Rossi Michael Essien Cesc Fabregas Stephen Ireland Andres Iniesta Wingers Lionel Messi Marquinhos Juan Manuel Mata Daniel Sturridge Gael Kakuta Strikers Karim Benzema Mario Balotelli Danny Welbeck I normally play this, although it depends on the opposition; Valdes Santon Fazio Sakho Mattock Essien Iniesta Fabregas Messi~~~~~~~~Mata Benzema Any thoughts on what I can do to improve my squad? Cheers, Ditler. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
messi Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Sign Ronaldo rather than Mata, good as Mata is, and invest in Torres and Bojan, mean partnership. I reckon Asenjo is better than Valdes. Messi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabregas is better in the game imo, so wasn't bothered about losing Lampard. Terry was on alot higher wages than the rest of the squad, and Sakho needed games. Sold Cech for £35m, brought Valdes in for £8m, it's only for a season or two till I start Fiorillio. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Di Maria is pretty much my best player. He has the best ratings game after game. For three seasons he has consistently held greater than a 7.40, and he's the fan's favorite player. Still young, and still getting better. He's not so good at ball handling, but it's coming along. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gameover Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Great season messi! (Y) So far I'm sitting first after 17 games 16 won 1 draw away against Everton. 49-2 +47 and 7 points ahead of Man Utd. 2 games left till January transferwindow. I want to get another striker, but I need to let some go first. Had Torres agreeing to join me for 60m, but it was just a test to see if Liverpool would accept and to see if he would join. Now looking to sell Joe Cole, Deco and maybe Drogba to raise some funds? Also Jack Cork (DC) he scored on his debut, is he worth keeping? He looks good for the future and English like Mancienne..
