he had a reeking season for me as a deep-lying, flicked him up to advanced and is now back in the game, 7 international goals away from Paddy Kluivert!
Ben Foster is sick. In FM and IRL. In my Lyon save, Hugo Lloris is the finest young keeper in the world and dragged France to the WC final. England beat us, because Foster did the same and kept them in slightly longer than Lloris did. Also nearly robbed Lyon of the Super Cup with United.
Alessandro del Piero and Francesco Totti just keep going and going, as long as you play them right. A-dP can finish like billy-o in the left hand striker spot alongside Amauri, and when Totti loses more pace, simply withdraw him to Trequartista AMC. I have never had a more consistent long-shot...
He definitely needs a boost in game. IRL, this year he has been the best "complete"-style midfielder on all levels, and is genuinely world class. His mental stats are just ******* criminal compared to what they should be.
Get Kiko Femenia, cover for your entire right wing from defence to AMR, and then you can spend 20M+ on a striker. Should be able to get a proven one for that money. Cover for Torres? Try getting someone like Alberto Paloschi or one of my favourites (not to everyone's taste), Lisandro Lopez. If...
Jerome Boateng, Domenico Criscito can be retrained as a utility, and if your Madrid Sergio Ramos should still be excellent, no?
Salvatore Bocchetti is another who makes a good complete-back-four defender. Cristian Ansaldi can do both flanks as well.
Manuel Almunia is surprisingly good on my Arsenal main save. Still holding down his place at 35, only just made the decision to buy Akinfeev 3rd season, and thats purely because i cant improve my outfield anymore!
he is a good sub for my Lyon team, i expect him to turn out better on '10 than most ppl give him credit for. i actually loaned out Tafer and Belfodil for him. Novillo is pretty cack unfort.
they become player/coaches in their final season, and have a little "ret" box. You usually know about a year or 6 months in advance.
Francesco Toldo is my only former player on my staff, decent coach already. Im arsenal.
I also signed Cannavaro to tutor my younglings (even though im not...
