I've just started up my first save on the Winter update with Villa. I'm interested in playing a back 3 (Maybe a 3-6-1/3-3-2-1-1) But I'm not 100% Sold on the idea. What I am certain of is some of the positions I need to fill: Definitely a first choice CB or two as I know Baker's had a...

July 2012 Overview: Aston Villa: Proud History, Bright Future, Difficult Present Today I, David Morey, start my ascent to glory with my childhood club. I sat down at my desk and open up the dossier on the squad: However, after getting an email about the budgets I realised the size of my...

I'm about to start my big Villa game and have no clue how to fill out the last couple of spots on the team. I'm gonna play a 3-2-2-1-2 like this: Formation: http://bit.ly/RGBCT3 (From 20 tactics of the 2000's by Yurt: 20 Tactics of the 2000s) and I know most of my team: GK: Guzan LCB: Clark...

I'm looking for a Box to Box mid to sit in the middle of a 4-3-2-1 in between a CM (Either Def or Supp) and an ADP(S) for around £10m. I looked at Wanyama and he seems he could do a job there, but I'm not 100% sold. Also any cheap young Keepers and Deep Lying Forwards would be appriciated as...

I've just qualified for the Champions League through a league finish and need to improve some areas of my squad. I need a DMC(s) or DLP(s) to replace Mehmet Topal, who doesn't want to come to me on a full time contract and a RB(s) to replace Hutton (who is awful) and I've got around £26m to get...

I'm honestly a little stumped on who I should be aiming for tbh. I'm £80k over my wage budget with only a £3m transfer budget (took the 'Mid-Table Finish option') So I'm thinking of selling: Stephen Warnock - £3m [£40k p/w off the wage bill] James Collins - £3m [£35k p/w off the wage bill]...

I'm after a young 4th choice CB who has the potential to step up in the 2nd/3rd season and a young LB as back up for Warnock. I plan to sell Beye and Collins, while listing Heskey. I plan to bring in: Yann Sommer (Basel) - £2.2m Sime Vrsjalko (Dinamo) - £2.5m Adam Vass (Brecscia) - £600k As...

I've been messing around with Villa in the demo so far and I've come up with a few formations that I'm happy with I play a 4-3-3 with my midfield 3 either ADP-A, BWM-s and ADP-S or BWM-S x2 and ADP-A (although Im thikning of putting a DLP in there somewhere for a little stability and for...

Hello everyone, sorry for the monster post that is about to happen, but here we go: I started to do a scouting game on 11.3 and after 2 seasons I stopped to find that (to my horror) Villa were 3 points off relegation in the 2011/2012 season and had lost more games than one of the teams who DID...
