    Salim Khelifi - Worth a Punt

    I will say, this is in the Swiss league and I'm playing as Basel, so the opposition may not have the best defensive ability. But I picked him up for 900k pounds and he is the highest goal scorer in my team by some distance - 14 in all competitions and the next best is 5 and it is only...

    West Ham 16/17 season need help

    If you can sell Carroll, do it. surely he isn't irreplaceable. Does your board expect you to get promoted? You could just cut a few big wage contributors and loan in some young players from the EPL. That way you could consolidate your position, strengthen some tactics and build your team after...

    Romelu Lukaku

    I would have thought it was pretty much impossible. But for 25m I guess it would work. I've done a couple of Everton saves and after the first season Chelsea either don't want to sell, or won't sell to a divisional rival. If you got in his favoured people list and Everton did well and Chelsea...

    Impact sub - who do you use?

    Naismith update: I took my own advice. Naismith came on for the final 35 mins 1-1. All he managed to do was get flagged offside. Lost the game 2-1. Please disregard my previous post...haha

    Impact sub - who do you use?

    Steven Naismith for me. I wouldn't say that I always use him as a sub when I'm struggling, but on the occasions that I do, he seems to produce something - either goals or assists. Begs the question as to why I don't use him more I guess...haha

    Seamus Coleman

    Coleman is picking up yellow cards every second match and also got 3 in match reds over the course of my season - 2 English comps and one in the Europa League. My tactics aren't set to rough up the opposition, and he plays as a wing back primarily. His aggression is 16, which I guess could...

    Flamini is a pain in the ****

    I hate that. Sometimes you just can't ship the older players. Have you played him and hit some form before or during the transfer window? sometimes if you get him to peak around then, he might get a few interested parties.

    4-2-3-1 (central) Help!

    Struggling how? Maybe you could switch the BBM to a more structured defensive role? Maybe a CM defend role. I just picture Rode storming forward and just clogging up the already very congested advanced midfield? This way DLP can roam a bit from deep and CM can recieve the ball off either the...

    Help me with this...

    I reckon go for the unemployment start. It would be interesting to see who offers you a contract. Earn your stripes at a smaller club, then try to go on to become the United manager one day. Probably end up being 2030...but still, keep the dream alive!

    Best English Attacking Mids?

    Barkley can play out on the right if need be. But he is almost unbeatable for me in my Everton save - however that is in the middle. I can't rate him highly enough though.

    A failed player lands a dream gig!

    This is brilliant. Awesome story. Keep it up!

    Aaron Hunt the machine

    I always wanted to pick him up but with the teams I play as, he would be a casual back up at best. Always wanted to see him do well in real life though too.

    Reading 1st season

    Are you sure you shouldn't play a 4-4-2? You don't have much depth out wide in the advanced positions. Even if you loan a player or two in, any injuries will ruin you...

    Players who hand in transfer requests

    I was just asking about how people dealt with this as managers in the game. Not if it ever happened irl. I thought it couldn't be just me getting it all the time. Like I said, top of the league, in the champions league spots. It just made me think that it can't be just me getting this despite...

    Marsh - A Helping Hand For Clubs In Small Nations In Europe.... Hopefully

    Good to see you are getting stuck into a smaller club. I really struggle to find any passion for a club if I can't at least buy a 'name' player. Looking forward to how you get on and where you go to next.
