xx11 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Just about to play the last friendly before the Community shield... and Im without both Rooney and Morrison for a few weeks Good news is that with the rejigging due to injuries, Young played in the AMC role against Juve. A 4-1 victory with Young scoring a hatrick and assisting for the other Cant believe how good this youth setup Im running is doing. Anderson and Young are replacing the injured morrison and rooney.. probably be more changes due to the under20s matches though but will see soon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnriqueZove Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 People seem to be doing well on the Demo , are people still finding Anderson as effective as I did ? So you are best person to ask this question. How to use him. Coz I am thinking of selling him to Munich. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolanthustrel Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I do say, it's been a while since I've played a United save so I'm going to have to give this season a try. Most of the old guard have moved on so I think i'll be able to play and sign people again without feeling bad about replacing my favourite players.

matty2323 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Great OP Fab! Agree with most, if not all, of your analysis of the squad. Im in the process of bringing in some cover for Raf, main candidate is Sime Vrsaljko. This kid looks like he's going to be a superstar. In terms of English prospects, Ive scouted Clyne and Hodson. Should also be said that either Jones or Smalling would make competent fall backs. Not a big fan of Carrick either, so looking for some cover for Fletcher (who i hope re-finds his form for United after his illness). I think Jones could become a very competent DM if needed. Rodwell, Fellani and Emre Can are players ive looked at to back up Fletcher. (wish to god we still have Owen Hargreaves, he would be perfect!) Heavily considering looking into replacing Rio by the end of the season. Smalling is more then capable, But with my persistence in having him cover a few positions, ive looked into some CD youth. While the prospects in our own ranks look half decent, ive put serious scouting time into Harry Maguire, Craig Dawson and Craig Cathcart (old man united youth prospect). United let Cathcart go a few seasons back, and he has really developed into a quality CB. Fergie really has let some quality youth defenders go over the past 3-4 seasons with the likes of Pique, Shawcross and Cathcart all turning into outstanding CB's. Yes, we have talent at United, but I would have gotten rid of the likes of Oshea, Brown, J Evans before any of them. In terms of cover for Ashley young, i want a player who is capable of playing bit-part roles in the squad, but will develop into something quality. I want a natural left footer, aswell as another right footer for the cover. In the process of scouting Albrighton, Bannan, Hammill, Jarvis, Knightly and Dorrans (British PL prospects) and have just started my search through the championship and league 1. Matt Phillips looks like he might be a decent prospect from Blackpool, though he is lacking natural flair. In terms of youth at the club, Ravel and Adnan look like solid prospects. Still wouldn't have minded giving Obertan another season to develop, reckon he's going to turn out to be another Nani - Frustrating and unpredictable but with experience, game time and tutoring, i think he'll turn out world class. I would have loaned him out rather then sold him on... As stated, we look set on strikers. Still annoyed Berbasloth wasn't sold when PSG came calling, but in terms of FM he is decent. Shame about welbecks stats, though he's still top notch. Rooney in a deep lying role feeding chicharito, Owen or Welbeck just gives me orgasms! In the process of searching around the Championship for some real youthful talent to put into the u18 side. Again mostly British, but clubs like West Ham have some real high quality talent coming through their youth set-up. Especially Dominic Vose, Rob Hall and Elliot Lee. Figure it might be worth investing in some youth sooner rather than later because alot of our "older statesman" that possess good tutoring capabilities will be moving on with-in the next 1-2 seasons.

mark131000 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I really want to get home and try xx11 tactics' now! With mine, i regularly get 20+ shots in per game but not 30. Interesting to see the strikers making the most of their shots on target too, mine have struggled in the demo to convert and Hernandez keeps aiming for the corner flag! Having said that, he's still scored 14 in 11 games on the current demo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperblade Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Hi guys, been playing the demo for the past couple of days and I must say, it's a big improvement on the previous editions So I pretty much sold a whole bunch of players and brought in several new faces: sold: Dimitar Berbatov to Juventus - 10m Rio Ferdinand to FC Bayern - 12m Tomasz Kuszczak to Getafe - 1.9m Anderson to Inter - 10m Michael Carrick to Sunderland - 8m Jonny Evans to Porto - 5.25m Park Ji-Sung to Tottenham - 8.25m Antonio Valencia to Everton - 7m Darren Fletcher to Arsenal - 13.5m Darron Gibson to Everton - 2.5m Will Keane to Wolves - 825k and bought: Emre Can from FC Bayern - 900k Andre Ayew from O. Marseille - 12.5m Kyriakos Papadopoulos from Schalke - 13m Gary Cahill from Bolton - 8.5m Douglas Costa from Shakthar - 15m Willian form Shakthar - 7.75m Felipe Anderson from Santos - 6m Marouane Fellaini from Everton - 21m Marco Materazzi - free Eden Hazard from Lille - 44.5m Sammir from Dinamo - 1m Sime Vrsaljko from Dinamo - 1.3m Iker Munian from Athletic - 21m I realise you can pretty much buy expensive good players buy offering to pay big sums on 48 month installments with 0 upfront, which is pretty much how I paid for every player I bought except Emre, Sammir, and Vrsaljko. Went a little crazy on the buying player front just to try out the different players available. I can pretty much say my best buys are Vrsaljko (4 games 1goal 2 assists - was injured for a while), Fellaini (17 games/4goals, 4assists), Munian (13 games/15 goals, 3 assists) and Hazard (15 games/6 goals, 2 assists). Haven't really had much opportunity to play Cahill or Papadopoulos but they've performed well everytime Iplay them. Havent played Sammir or Felipe at all Costa and Willian aren't bad though I honestly could've saved the $ spent. In comparison, Nani is on 16 games 4 goals 10 assists; Rooney 14games/7 goals/5assists. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thim1993 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 cant wait til the full release to start a united save. am thinking of playing 4-2-3-1 with Rooney in AM and hernandez/welbeck as advanced forward. dont think i will make any signings in the defence, can use Smalling, Jones, Fabio to cover Rafael at right back, maybe even Valencia. 2 CM's - probably Fletcher as BWM with Pogba as back up. Then the second as a playmaker. Playmaker rotating between Anderson, Giggs and Cleverley, with Morrison as back up. Wingers Nani on the right and Young on the left with Januzaj and Valencia as back-up on right, will probably buy Marko Marin as bacl up for Young Starting XI: De Gea Rafael Vidic Ferdinand Evra Fletcher Cleverley Nani Rooney Young Hernandez Anyone think i need to make anymore signings? I need to use a lot of the youngsters but could maybe do with a back AM for Rooney although Morrison and Cleverley can play there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gareth250480 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Thim1993, your idea looks good and I started a new demo last night with the same formation after seeing others do so. Not sure how expensive Marin is but you could try Douglas costa. He cost anywhere between 10-15m and can cover young as well as amc. He plays amr/l/c. I would also buy kovacic in full release and vrsaljko as young amc and dr. Vrsaljko can be used straight away for dr cover and both only cost £1m.

Seen Valencia recommended as an out and out Winger but how about Young and Nani? Both my Wide players are set to "wingers". Though i personalize their player instructions. With Valencia i use him as an out and out winger set to "hug touchline" with a little less creative freedom. Where as with Nani and Young i give them a bit more license to roam, cut inside and create. I dont want them cutting in too often as i play with 2 up front, and i want plenty of space for Rooney to drop into. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
