J.W. Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 hi, ive just started a madrid save after successful saves with liverpool and shakhtar. i have (as usual) disabled budgets for first window as this window has already happened in theory (we signed Van der Vaart) at the moment i cant really find a good system for the players i have and ive realised that my players arent really any better than those of the likes of At.Madrid, Sevilla, Valencia and Villareal. my january targets include: Lass Diarra (pompey), Keirrison (cortiba), Guardado (deportivo) and Douglas Costa (Gremio) i am trying to build a galactico side (but big signings will wait for summer) but i beleive every player should be given his chance. i also really need a quality defender, as i'm looking very shaky atm even though i'm getting by. i'm playing a 4-1-3-2 formation (mentioned above by Sparey) with m.diarra in DM position. how is the best way to use this formation? should DM be a more creative playmaker or a rock? also, what good players are there that could really toughen up my defence? i'm thinking of chiellini but he may have to wait until the summer. any other ideas? thanks guys Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisandro Lopez Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Thought so, that would explain why Diarra is still at Pompey. How come you haven't updated? Your DM should definitely be a rock; you can have others be creative for you. For CB's look at - R.Albiol, Chiellini, Sakho, D.Luiz, Chygrynskiy?

J.W. Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 well the game was running just fine and seeing as you start in july, it would be strange to have players who ave been bought in january, and i heard that there area few problems with the new patch. anyway l.diarra should be perfect for the DM role as he can pass aswel. i'll look at some of these players and hopefully make some big signings!! cheers hopey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 First season won everything, 2 losses and 4 draws in the league, second season spent most of my 150m on silva, benzema, rossi and chiellini i got knocked out of the spanish cup by Valencia in 5th round but won everything else. Dont predict any major changes to my squad, hopefully it will increase their harmony. Will prob need a new keeper for the coming seasons.

pnefc22 Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Just started a Real Madrid career and I am already looking into buying Vagner Love, but who should I get rid of? IMO, don't buy Vagner Love. Van Nistlerooy, Raul, Higuan and Saviola will do for the first season. Then, look to buy some real quality such as David Villa. Or you could get Oscar Cardoza as a medium term cheap fix.

Plus, I played a 4-4-2 with a lot of width which worked excellently, as Van Nistlerooy is a beast in the air and the squad already has some great wingers. Although, the right wing is slightly spare when Snejder is out, so I brough Arsharvin in as well to bolster the wings. Thought so, that would explain why Diarra is still at Pompey. How come you haven't updated? Your DM should definitely be a rock; you can have others be creative for you.For CB's look at - R.Albiol, Chiellini, Sakho, D.Luiz, Chygrynskiy? Chygrynskiy was great for me at Shakhtar but I don't think that he will cut it that well in the Champions League against the best teams. Should be plently good enough for La Liga though. Hi All,Just started a Madrid game, is it worth selling Metzelder, Saviola and Cannavaro, I am just wondering what defenders I can bring in, I was thinking maybe Sakho, Fazio perhaps Micah Richards?. Any other suggestions would be welcome . Thanks Sakho and Fazio I would recommend. Not Micah Richards. I would keep Cannavaro for the first season as he is a rock in the defence albeit slightly slow. Metzelder I would probably sell. And, Saviola I would keep for the first year unless you have brought in another striker of which then, I would sell him.

hyrule_king Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 1st Season Update: League - Runners-up after leading for most of the season lost on the final day to Barca, by 1 point. Copa Del Rey - Champions Champions League - One to orget, didn't even gt out of the group stages, fans still haven't forgiven me. Team: Casillas De Silvestri Marcelo Ramos Metzelder Lass Diarra Gago Robben Sneijder (scored some amazing goals) Huntelaar Higuain Subs: Balotelli Pepe Dudek Gionvico Mamo Diarra Garay VDV Stats: Goals - Higuain and Huntelaar 20 each A. Rating - Sneijder 7.56 Casillas with 25 clean sheets from 45 games, only conceded 17. Overall a good start, dissapointed that i lost out in league.

J.W. Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 i also found higuain to be a good player in first season. cant decide where to play him though. current team looks like this: (December 08 just before first window) -------------------------I.Casillas---------------------- S.Ramos---------F.Canavaro--------Pepe---------Heinze W.Sneijder-------R.De la Red------Guti/VDV------Robben/marcelo -----------------Raul----------------------------------- ------------------------------RVN/Higuain--------------- works really well with short passing, width and fast tempo. use raul as playmaker and he constantly gets7+ with the Guti/VDV being more attacking. i rotate the De la Red slot a lot with M.Diarra and Gago, but De la Red is homegrown so i prefer him. L.Diarra is arriving in Jan so it's likely that Gago will be offloaded as well as Saviola who cant score. Guti has been brilliant despite his age and has put in top class performances so is generally prefered to VDV Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomheadshot45 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Hyrule King, those ins aren't that good. Wijnaldum isn't good enough for RM. I would have just bought Srna and played him at LB or Chiellini. You can get better strikers than Cardozo when you're RM. Technical stats aren't everything. You sold Pepe (bad idea, good CB especially if you play a high d line and offside trap), you could have gotten more of Marcelo, and I sold him too, but I regret it now. And you sold Huntelaar.
