If my team lacks a great pivot partnership (I often use 4-2-3-1 or 3-5-2 tactics) then I snap up Romero and Kranevitter for an all-argentine dream team. Sadly Kranevitter always gets pissy after 1 season if you aren't a stellar team and often gets sold for 40-60m depending on success of the team...
More curiosity more than anything but, have you altered or taken a look at the Chelsea youth players? Clearly they just won the UEFA Youth League; but they've been pretty dominant for a few years now. Loftus-Cheek, Izzy Brown, Solanke and Colkett are probably the most prominent players I am...
1) I already acknowledged that this was made using a strong team.
2) The strongest teams also play against the strongest teams.
3) Strong teams are popular to play with, therefore, people may want something new to use.
I am not claiming it's amazing or anything, just put up some solid results.
All updated. Not tidied yet, but bit busy, will get around to it. Feel free to post questions. It's worth noting that my set pieces can be improved defensively.
If you're a huge team and have mass finance; Hazard and Reus are amazing as ramdeuters. Hazard scored 31 and assisted 21 in all competitions from me and that was with a striker competing for goals alongside him. (Costa got 43 goals)
So, I started FM15 with my favourite team as always and appreciate it is not the toughest team to do well with. However, after playing through 2 Season 1s due to the Odegaard patch; I feel that it's worth sharing my take on 4-3-3 which has yielded some good results.
The Results:

LB i would look at De Sciglio or Gaya. Both are young and rather costly, but well worth it. CB you have many options such as Balanta, Vallejo, Dragovic etc.
Azpilicueta is probably the best non-regen at that stage in the game for RB and is HG for your champions league quotas. A little over 25 but he's super good.
Schurlle is pretty weak due to poor mental stats in my experience with Chelsea. I often sell him to PSG for 20-30m (depends on season, I've restarted since Odegaard patch) and grab Reus for 21m. But it may be too late at your stage of the game.
For me, you definitely want a new LB. Having Dave...
Krychowiak is a very solid performer and at 1.4m release clause you can't go wrong really. Even if you are not happy with him as a starter in big games, he's a fantastic squad player for the price.
Okay, so I fully understand how both of these scales work independently. However, I was wondering if anyone knew intimately via knowledge of the game engine, whether consistency and important matches interact with each other on big matches?
For example:
- I have scouted Jose Luis Gaya, who is...
The logic you're using isn't really applicable. Put some of Chelsea's youth into teams such as OL, Anderlecht, Mid-table sides in Spain etc, and they would play often. I'm not moaning, I understand none of them 'have done it' yet. However, simply branding Chelsea youth as unlikely to get -9's...
That is the barometer at which my expectations were set, yes. I am fully aware Chelsea have a bad history of bringing up their own youth. However, recent youth success at U21 and lower has me hoping.
