    Manchester United - It would be Jude not too! (He's my main target)

    It's been a while since I did a career with Utd.. FM21 was Hertha Berlin as I used to own a Sebastian Diesler top from back in the day and FM22 ended up being Dortmund from a random pick of 6 leagues. 

    Being a Utd fan since the early 90's, I wanted to bring a smile to my face while supporting this team.. it's been a while since that's happened on a regular basis. 

    Leagues loaded:

    I turned transfers off so January wasn't very busy either. 

    Sold: Martial - Spurs £31.5m 

    Signed: Mbappe on a free to replace Cavani leaving for Juve in the summer.

    2nd Season

    Well....I screwed that up!  As you can see from above, I didn't invest in the team other than the two free transfers. 

    My thought was to concentrate on CL and challenge for the league to which was going well until..... Fernandes, DVD and Pogba all got injured at the same time so missed both legs against Dortmund in the QF... I went out 3-3 away goals and that was lucky.. I ended up drawing a lot of games around this time and finished 2nd to City by 8 points in the end. Drawing 9 and losing 4, including a 5-0 hammering away at Spurs on game 36 which handed City the title. 

    I'll be making some changes for the 3rd season but that might have to wait... got to play boyfriend duties for a little bit!

    3rd Season

    OUT:
    James (loan to Porto)
    Lindelof (Arsenal £30m)
    Cavani (Shakhtar £2m)
    Fred (Milan £23m)
    Bailly (Free)

    IN:
    Barella (£80m)
    Sancho (£80m)

    Sancho wasn't a player I was wanting to go for originally, however, with a small database and playing touch... I gave in and bought him. 

    Amad Diallo might go back out on loan, though he was part of the Dortmund squad that ripped me a new one at Old Trafford. 

    SQUAD:

    De Gea/Henderson

    AWB/Williams
    Telles/Shaw
    Maguire/Tengi
    Tuanzebe/McTominay

    Pogba/Garner
    Fernandes/DVB
    Barella/Hannibal

    Greenwood/Sancho
    Rashford/Depay

    Martial/Millik

    Amad Diallo may stay around and then a few youngsters in the reserves. 

    I might also buy a CB and loan Garner out so can put McT back into midfield.

    Afternoon Guys, 

    God it feels good to be getting stuck into a FM career again! It's been a good few years since I dabbled into this game... divorce, step daughter, house, dog and car have gone since I last played. However, I won't stay away and for the first time since FM17 I'll be playing on a regular and enjoying it! 

    For the time being, I'm on a surface laptop, well at least until I've refurbed my office so I can play on the PC and the game to it's full capacity. 

    I'm also playing in FM Touch as I just want to get in and enjoy the game before I start with the full version. 

    Having read through the Utd thread, I've tried to stay away from much of what other people have done... that and I don't want to get too involved in a save with a small database and not enjoy the full version too much... 

    Enough rambling.... 

     

    1st season... 

    Prem - 1st
    CL - Semi - Lost a 94th min goal to Juve and went out 2-3 (would have gone through on away goals)
    FA and League Cup  - Didn't focus on these

    41221 wide is the formation I've gone with... 

    I think one thing I've done that many haven't is play Pogba at DM as DLP (su).. and this is purely so I have the ball, he racks up high pass numbers each game and pops up with the odd goal or assist. He also wins alot of headers and most tackles. He is pretty much the heartbeat of the side. 

                      De Gea

    AWB Maguire Tuanzabe Telles 

                     Pogba (DLP)s
            Fernandes (MEZ) McTominay (B2B)

    Greenwood (IW)s              Rashford (IW)a

                      Martial (AF)a

    I turned off the transfer window and didnt get anyone in Jan. I did however get Millik and Depay on free for the summer. 

    Usual deadwod is gone though i did keep Fred and James. 

    Season 2

    DeGea. Henderson
    AWB, Williams
    Maguire, Tuanzebe, Lindelof, Bailly
    Shaw, Telles

    Pogba, Garner, DVB, McTominay, Hernades, Fred

    Greenwood, James
    Rashford, Depay

    Martial, Millik, Cavani

    Martial will also play AML and Rashford AMR if needed. 

    I've sent all the good young players out on loan for this season to see how they develop. 

    I'll prob move James and a CB on for the end of this season.. 

     

    GOOD TO BE BACK!!!
