James Milner is a beast
But yet he is only in your second choice team?
Jovetic is very good if you have kept him, scored loads for me from the AML position.
Jovetic seems to be too slow for me, kept him for his potential overall
He scores a lot if you play him as an inside forward (as did Nasri from AML).
I like your two teams, I played 4231 for a bit but had the two midfielders in the DM positions.
I feel I need a new AM but not sure what second season budget is
Well, on mine, I got a lot in the second season. I didn't spend much in the first season though (upgraded the back room staff, that was about it) and won the CL, PL and FA Cup.
I'm not sure as I haven't started a new game since before the last patch came out, but you should be able to get Lewandowski on a free for up front, then you could sell to make a bit more.
Jovetic works well in AM as well. Thats the good thing with the starting squad, Milner, Silva, Nasri, Jovetic and Aguero could all play in that AM slot if needed. Depends what role you play there though?
I find Aguero is a beast second striker in that AM role, think Lewa will have an arranged deal with Dortmund now tho
I'd check, I left it pretty late before offering him a contract!
The AMC slot, playing a SS seems overpowered a bit to me, Aguero was a beast for me too. Had Dzeko in front as a CF support or attack depending on how deep the opposition sat.
Might sign Lambert now 25 goals in 33 games in the league
Have him Negredo, Dzeko and Jovetic up front
Too many strikers for a one man up top formation for me, Southampton are well worth raiding for shaw and ward prouse though.
Yeah but Jovetic is mostly LW backup
If you can get the funds I thoroughly recommend signing Shaqiri, quality player
Will look at Shaw as replacement for Clichy
Would have Shaw and Alba at LB
Suarez
Shaw
Ginter
Horn
Eriksen
All in for my second season
I play 4-2-2-2 with Arsenal.
First season won the double, shoulda been a treble if I didn't f up the CÔC final.
The team is
Szczesny
Sagna Mert Kosc Gibbs
S. Bender Arteta
Ozil Cazorla
Giroud Werner
Werner is quality, absolute quality.
Gonna move Wilshere and Ramsey into the DM roles gradually as Arteta ages and I've sold flamini now. Signed Reus in the summer because City bought Walcott for £27, but he's gonna take a while to convert to striker. Signed Balanta because Madrid bought Koscielny for the same amount.
On TDD I panic bought Draxler after a couple of poor games but justified it to myself as we had loads of cash and he's the 'long term Cazorla replacement'
So I'm building a good German core. My team now is
Szczesny
Sagna Vermaelen Mertesacker Gibbs
Ramsey Bender
Ozil Cazorla
Giroud Werner
And in a few years this'll probably become
Szczesny
Jenkinson Balanta Mertesacker Gibbs
Ramsey Wilshere
Ozil Draxler
Reus Werner
Jenks is amazing in this game.
I struggle to fit Suarez and Aguero into the same team
Do you play classic mode?
Just wondering how many people play classic, the full mode gets a bit tedious.
My second season didn't go so well
5th place finish
But I'm liking the blend more this year, had to sell Zabaleta tho
Finally got the game and, obviously, started out with Blackburn. Haven't made many signings - brought in Vicente on a free and Sana on a loan (plus a few other freebies) and offloaded those older, higher wage players.
So far, I'm about 7 games in. Won 6, drawn 1 (to Doncaster ) and I called it a night after schooling Burnley at Turf Moor.
Leicester next, who haven't won in 3.
I'm in to my 6th season with Spurs, spent about 35 million and sold about 307 million.
Won the Premiership 3 times, Capital One Cup 2 times, FA Cup 1 time, Community Shield 1 time, Europa League 1 time and Champions League 1 time.
Just sold Sandro, Vert, Paulinho and Lloris.
The only players remaining from the original squad are Kaboul, Chiriches, Walker, Rose, Fryers, Carroll, Bentaleb, Eriksen, Lamela and Soldado.
I fired up a new save and started with Real Madrid.
In: Sven Bender, Luis Suarez, Serge Aurier, Per Mertesacker(bought because Ramos got a 6 month injury in Jan.), Balotelli(board bidded after I sold Benzema for 60m), Ter Stegen
Out: Diego Lopez and the other GK, Arbeloa, Cherchesev(sp), Benzema
So far in my first season I've won the treble, the La Liga is ridiculously easy and both Barca and A. Madrid had poor seasons especially in the 1st half of the campaign.
Initially had planned on playing 1 season with them, and going onto a national team until Moyes was sacked or resigned so I could take over at Old Trafford. However, after I was basically laughed off in the media by the French FA for daring to apply for the senior national team job I signed a new contract at RM for 5 yrs with the sole intent to boycott every thing French
