Anyways getting back on subject, I completely agree with you Axe. The 'bigger' clubs issue is annoying as hell. I brought Dybala in January of my first season went on to win 2 out of 3 league titles, 2 out of 3 league cups, the Fa cup and then won the Champions league at the end of the 3rd season and then Real Madrid commented about wanting to buy him and he's on about moving to a bigger club. told him to do one but he's not happy and neither am I, no matter what I do or say nobody has ever tried to force a move to me but they seem to fall over themselves to move on. I was Spain manager when Sergio Ramos started unsettling Dybala and so Ramos was promptly dropped from the Spain squad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having Pogba sit in that position and not be able to roam a bit is like having Messi and Ronaldo on the wings and not being given freedom to cut inside so scrap that and put him as Advanced Playmaker - Attack with Roam from position with his long range shooting he can score some screamers and make a massive contribution to the goals. I'd change the role of Lukaku to Target Man suits his style of play rather than Complete Forward and his physical stats will benefit more. Make Herrera Deep Lying playmaker -Support. Matic's role shouldn't have close down less he's last line of defence before attackers can goal at the defence so you want him to go at the attackers to attempt to win back the ball. Play Mkhiki as Inside Forward will see the rewards he is insane once he gets going. If you give me some sort of indication of what you want your tactic style to be I can give some pointers on team instructions Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

howard moon Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Could do with some advice. End of the transfer window in my second season, and Madrid have offered £70 up-front for Mkhitaryan. He had an okay first season, and I was hoping for more from him in the second, but this amount of money is seriously tempting! If I let him go though, I'd need a replacement, as my other attackers (not including strikers) are: Mata Lingard Rashford (though he's better as CF) Martial (struggling for form since the start of the game) Pereira Januzaj (on the transfer list) Any suggestions on a replacement (or anyone think I should just reject the offer)? I've got £130m to spend - have already tried (and failed) for Griezmann, Dybala. One player who might be available for £30m is Willian from Chelsea, who is unsettled at the moment...

I'd sell him no questions asked honestly. I'm in my first season still, Martial does really well for me and so does Lingard (who comes off the bench regularly). I've had success previously with Agustin Allione, but haven't tried him at utd yet. Domenico Berardi is absolutely brilliant if you can get him, can play as a CF or on the wing. Though if you're not comfortable selling him and he isn't unsettled, just tell real to sod off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sell, if you keep him even for one more year you are highly unlikely to see £70m upfront again, Mkhitaryan isn't the youngest chap after all. If you wanna **** with Chelsea, you might as well get Hazard (if he's still there). But my own favourite is either Hirving Lozano or Kai Havertz, both versatile youngsters, can cover plenty of positions to give you flexibility and retrained if necessary.

vrig Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Just finished season 2, probably with the most dominant side I've had in any FM, ever. We'd won the league by March, so the likes of Angel Gomes, Nishan Birkhart and Ro-Shaun Williams were getting games by the end, so the points haul makes me that much more happy. And my favourite match so far... I couldn't even believe it! Barca spent the first half hour tearing us apart on the break, which was exactly the opposite of what I was expecting. We started coming back into the game after some early changes, but after half time we just became rampant! The squad by order of appearances: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LilSaint Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Just finished my first season, some mixed feelings. Hasn't been that bad, as we won a few trophies, but Arsenal were simply destroying everyone in the league. Deserved champions I'd say, looking at those figures. Had some bad luck as Pogba was out injured for 6 months. The upside of that is that no 'big clubs' came knocking for him yet. For transfers I've brought in Havertz & Tielemans who both performed very well. Had to pay quite a bit more than I'd wanted ideally for Tielemans though, hope he'll live up to it. In preseason I managed to sign Dybala, expecting big things from him. I was doubting to renew Zlatans contract, but ended up offering him a new 1 year deal. Right after that Real suddenly wanted to buy him. I initially declined, which upset him so I had to let him go after all. Going into the second season Rooney's out on loan, Zlatan's gone, Martial is injured and so is Dybala.. Desperate for another striker I made a lastminute offer for Mousa Dembele and managed to sign him for 9m. He's actually doing pretty well at the moment.

James2201 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Hey all, I hope I'm posting in the right place. I haven't played football manager for about 4 years, and have decided to pick up FM touch. I have started a save with Man Utd. I want to try not to make wholesale changes, and I would like to snap up some of the best young players around and bring some youth through but also phase out the old guard. Who are the "go to" players to improve the current united squad. So far I have signed tielemans and am in negotiations for Aurier as a long term replacement for Valencia but other than that I am unsure. Also are any of the reserves ready for first team squad Also regards tactics what is the best formation and player roles to get best out of current players. Like I said it's all quite new to me, and my results currently inconsistent so looking for some advice. Below is my starting 11. Thanks in advance De Gea Valencia Jones Bailly Shaw Pogba Herrera Mata Mykitarian Martial Zlatan Subs: Romero Blind Rojo Carrick Fellaini Rashford Lingard Rooney Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tactics I have personally favoured 4-1-2-1 or 4-4-2. With Rooney he lasts till January at most I've had and then comes to ask for a transfer for a new challenge I find it hard to shift him so trying from the start would be best bet. If you play Pogba as the Advanced Playmaker - Attack duty or Box to Box midfielder he will score you some amount of goals. In regards to signings defence is the main part of the team you need to focus on, with a better CB to partner Baily. Diego Llorente is a steal at the end of the first season as a free transfer. Another defender to look at is Daniele Rugani who I've signed on a previous save for £35 million in second season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
