He replaced Torres who is out for a week with concussion. did you pay any money towards adriano Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sin City Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Hmmm. What to do? 6 games in i'm 1-5-0. My 2 main signings are Quaresma and Marcelo as well as about 7 or 8 youngsters like Kroos and Hamsik. I've sold Sissoko and Riise and still have 22mil to spend. But anyone got any tips as to how to improve my 1-5-0 start? Am already 14 points behind Chelsea with 2 games in hand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sin City Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Most annoying thing so far is i was after a decent young CB and i got a bid of 9m rejected for Zapata and a 7.5m bid rejected for Tasci and then when i decided to search for Kompany (I initially thought he'd go for way too much) he had already been sold for 10m. Very frustrating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For CB get either Breno for 3.5m (release clause) or Ezequiel Garay for around 7.5m- also get a good striker like Pandev or Owen or Adriano who can all be bought for around 10-14m each Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwsicssix Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I rotate Mascherano & Sissoko as the DMC's - My formation has an AMC with a Barrow to CM.

Bought Marcelo for left wing and he was excellent. that was about it. Steve Sidwell at xmas for 1.3m - nice present. anyways, think you def need good cover for Reina. Itjande...? hmmm. Also, things started very well for me. was in top 2. then goals totally dried up and i was losing stupid games. sounds similar to RL. EVERTON 1 - 2 LIVERPOOL Thought id drop that in.

I also play with 2 amcs and only one mc if I am playing a team i am a lot better than and that seems to get more emphatic results altho i havent really tried it against a bigger team as yet.

dreghorn2 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I'm going to try to recreate a Brazil 1970 tactic with the Reds. I think they have a lot of the players for it. 4-2-4 (4-2-2-2 AML with sarrow to ML, AMR with very offensive instructions). Holding winger, Rise, 2 creative DMs, Gerrard on the right pushing full forward. Eventually i'd like to have offensive DCs who could attack a bit with maybe 3 FCs. A real technical team with speed and finishing. Anybody have any suggestions how such a team should be set up? Am i going in the right direction?
