Colonel Getafe Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I'm trying to find a quality midfielder that will do a defensive job sitting in front of the back four in a 4-1-2-3 formation for my Man Utd save. Carrick is retiring and I only really have Matic who is 'natural' to that spot albeit as a Deep Lying Playmaker (I like to have 2 players for each spot). I often buy Casemiro (who is a 'Defensive Midfielder' not DLP) but for some reason I can never seem to get too many above-average level performances out of him. Busquets would be ideal in that sitting role, but I can never quite make the finances work to get a deal done. William Carvalho has done that job pretty well most times for me in previous saves, Lars Bender has been ok in that role, and I'm currently giving Jorginho a try on another save but he's another DLP not a 'DM' or Ball Winner. (most players in that spot seem to be DLP and not so much DM or Ball Win which is what I'm after). Any suggestions who else I could go for? I'm looking to give players I've not tried before a go, just to mix it up a bit (budgets allowing). cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlairRA Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Illaramendi, Weigl, Saul and Koke are all options that would do well for you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zlatanera Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Lucas Tousart, Lucas Torreira (£22m release clause at the start of the game), or retrain a CB if you want to be really defensively proficient. I think Romagnoli can often be available for a reasonable fee, or you could retrain Victor Lindelöf if you don't rely on a BPD as his technicals are up their with a lot of top DLPs. Ascacibar from Stuttgart also has very good attributes but unlike all my other recommendations I've never signed him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
