I've got him in mine and he performs well, mostly 7s sometimes better but he's had a couple of shockers. 

In my experience players (non defenders) don't tend to get above 8 unless they score or get a couple of assists. 

I think you're right but McTominay has been solid for me as DM(S) averaging 7.2-7.3. I'll give him another season, maybe I just need to adapt my formation. Have you tried roaming playmaker for Pogba? I think he could be good there

Anyone got any chance with Declan Rice? I got him in my 2nd season of my new save and he's been average and below. I tried him in DM as DLP-D ou DM-D/S, in CM as DLP-D or S, he just can't get a grade above 7.00 in any game even when i'm absolutely battering the opposition. It's kind of disappointing considering the price you have to pay to get him. I don't understand. He's even supposed to be a "consistent" player. Consistently average maybe but I expected him to compete with McTominay, he's just not been cutting it in any save I've tried him.

This is my set up, Kessie either plays as a dm, or I play him as a box to box in the 2. Sancho as an inverted winger.

Thanks !

I might give the 4-3-3 a go again, but I can't seem to get the best out of Pogba in any formation, maybe he's just meant to be above average... How is Greenwood faring for you? I don't know which PPM to give him as places shots/shoots with power seem to under exploit his strengths.

Finally got round to doing the summer for season 2.

I'm quite happy how it went as well, with the transfers as follows:

My 3 signings I was very happy with. Milenkovic is a player I have signed many times, he's just a player that works for me and fits the need for a cb perfectly. Kessie comes in as my dm, I was going to go for Bissouma, but I could get Kessie for just over 10 mil for and he fits the bill incredibly well, and can fill other roles if and when needed.

Now the right wing position, I initially wasn't going to sign Sancho, alot of people sign him and that usually puts me off players, I've also seen people struggle to get him to perform. However other alternatives I was looking at just didn't fit for me, they were Dembele, Lozano and Raphinha. So in the end I went with Sancho, and so far he's been excellent so I made the right choice.

Now the outs, I think they were all fairly obvious ones, so not sure I really need to say anymore on that, Mata is not on that list but he was released as well. 

We have had a very good start to the season.

Nice community shield win to start the season, we are scoring plenty of goals which I am enjoying, Sancho already has 5 assists in this start. My only annoyance is the lack of clean sheets.

Leicester were top before I destroyed them, and with the next run of games the good start could carry on.

 

Hi ! Quick question about Sancho and Kessie, they're 2 players I really like and would be interested in signing in my MUFC saves. What formation do you use and which roles do you use for them?
