United did have Zaza, Zivkovic and one other regen striker, but there was no serious injuries. Considering his form I'm surprised he didn't get more games, especially after spending 66m. I wasn't really complaining though.

Brendan Rodgers doing reasonably well on my current save - Gyazo - 374f26f0fed166d4668123a734ef93c4.png As for underuse of transfers, this one is the worst I've seen. - Gyazo - 3e70d5b5e5541046fffcfb56de7a2604.png

I'm playing him up front alone as a poacher. Sturridge either slots in at AML or replaces Suarez in a rotation system. Sturridge scored 15 or so in the season.

Suarez. 35 goals in first season in the league. (Remember he spends the first...5? games suspended)

Playing as Liverpool, Doria from Botafogo. Cost me about 7m, worth every cent. Gave him a shot in the first team after an injury, has played 23 games with a ridiculous 8.01 average score.

I play a little different to you, a 4-2-3-1, and kept Downing. I play Assaidi on the right (he is a natural right footer) and I picked up Royston Drenthe on a free and relatively low wages. If you are playing with two strikers, you will need to purchase someone, and Di Natale is quality for that...

Retrain as a CM, change role to Advanced Playmaker, instead of central midfield.

Obviously you'll be flat out now with the deadline day changes, but I thought I'd share a few insights. I have been trying out the patch. Just reached December playing as Liverpool in the EPL. Only real comments are that Aston Villa seem too good (sitting in third, despite a lot of injuries)...

Pull back your midfield into a three man (DM,DM,CM or (DM, CM, CM) with none attack, and preferably one on defend) formation. Use your fullbacks on support, and use a control strategy. This will give you a 5 man midfield during all phases of play, as the fullbacks will replace the wingers when...

I find the main problem is that he is quite rubbish when having hold of the ball for a long period of time. If he's dropping deep, you just lost possession, and even getting him through a high defensive line, he doesn't have the speed to capitalise. Playing a high defensive line I found he was...

This is as a Target Man attack in a 4-2-3-1 system with wingers, which I forgot to mention.

I've been giving him a lot of game time second season, he played in all the CL group stage and league cup matches, as well,as two league matches. Somewhat surprisingly, he's actually netted 16 times in 11 games. Admittedly against somewhat weaker opposition, but I'm amazed. Especially as Suarez...

The thing I think is missing from a lot of these discussions, is the fact that board expectations affect the "easiness" of a team. With any of the rich, or top teams, fall outside the top 3-4 teams for more than a few games, and you're fired.

In the first season, you don't have to make any massive new signings, as the squad can easily cover a non-European season quite easily. It's only really quality you need to bring in, and young players to add depth for what should be a Champions League appearance next season. A striker is your...

I find the Championship is the hardest league by far. If your stadium isn't decent sized, it's very difficult to compete financially. I had Chelmsford, and a 3000 seater. Couldn't fund a new stadium, and couldn't make enough money to offer players more than $500p.w It was painful. I gave up...
