Coop Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I have 2 players for each position but when playing twice a week, and occassionally getting a game with 2 or 3 injuries, I have found I will need to increase that size slightly for next season (in the attacking areas).

NeJebi Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I like to play with 2 teams, home matches with the little more weaker one and away matches plus home vs. super teams with the best players, over the years I buy so many talented players(+170 PA 10-15 youngsters per season) I have +100 international call-ups for U21 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ediocy Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I keep my squad at 25 players. This makes it convenient when it comes to European competition registration as well. As for the make up of the squad, I have a minimum of 2 players covering each position, with some players having a wide spectrum of positions they are comfortable in. I do include some promising youths as part of my 25 players. They will get games for them to improve upon their talent and I will ensure that I always have sufficient home-grown players in my squad this way.

Some Guy! Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Uh... A Goalkeeper (thankfully he hasn't been injured for about 6 years!), 4 centerhalves (1 Youth), 2 Right Fullbacks, 2 Left Fullbacks, 3 Left Wingers (1 youth), 3 right wingers (1 youth), 5 central midfielders (1 youth), 5 strikers (2 youth) for a total of: 25 (6 youth). I'm looking to trim that come the end of the new season. It's going to be a hard choice, but one striker has to go, my aging midfielder and wingers will also be gone.

dexta200 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I dislike rotating so it's usually around 20 players. with a few youth in there too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kreman Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I play LLM so a small squad is pretty much forced upon me. I would say my first team squad and my reserve sqaud are pretty much one and the same and they total about 25 players. I don't use genie scout (or similar) so my youths are also limited to what my scouts can find, which at that level, isnt a great deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rancer890 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I have 25-30 players. I play in Spain though so the ones who don't get registered are loaned out or sent to the 'B' team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenArsenal Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I try to get many players, but if I play in Europe naturally I have to keep it down to 25. Therefore it's usually 2 players per position, with 3 additional versatile players (one DRLC, one MRLC and one other) just in case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Management Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 My first team squad consists of 18 players then I'll have a further 18 in reserves with 11 of them out on loan leaving 7 to backup each position & make up the Euro numbers. this way, my U/19 players get a run at the reserve leagues too giving them more experience.. I tend to have about 25-30 in the Youth team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Themistofelis Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 What is the purpose of keeping 30 players around? some of them are wasting their time and you are wasting your wage budget , i would say 18 1st class and 5-7 youngsters are ok since you will usually have to make some alchemy when injuries occur which is fun . Playing a right midfielder on the left isn't that big , or a winger in ST position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpm Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 2 GK 6 D 7 M 4 A I only buy versatile players. Don't normally have too many problems but when I do it gives me a chance to test the youth players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
