well in my save I got Howedes (around 20 mil) and Balanta (around 8 mil) for dc. Also got Coentrao for dl or wbl (ONLY 10 mil). For false 9 since I'm using one as well I would say use Ozil, he's a beast and easily retrained. This way you can utilize wilshere or ramsey or cazorla who can all play...
Digne is good but a bit expensive..I think your best bet is Coentrao. He's actually the cheapest out of all of them (10-11 mil at start of season) plus he is world class.
I'd go for Moussa Sissoko. He fits perfectly for Arsenal. You can put him dmc in easier matches behind cesc and another attacking mc, or box to box next to cesc in difficult matches. The only disadvantage is that he shoots a lot (even if you have his long shots to rarely) , and he never listens...
Hi guys. I'm managing Parma and i'm in need of a good mc-playmaker. He must have passing ,creativity 15+ and be able to defend a bit. Also he's got to be european since i already got a foreigner for the season. Any good low priced gems out there????
In fm 11 it has to be Hulk, Pastore, Alberto Bueno, Andrea Ranocchia. As for the previous years i'd definately go with the legendary Daniel Braathen and James Flood (if anyone remembers)
Hulk scored 45 in 50 games for me as poacher in Arsenal. Carlos Vela and Wellington Silva becomes amazing poachers also, and Alberto Bueno is the best cheap solution.
You should definately sign Kevin from Zaragoza and have Xavi and Iniesta tutor him. He played amazing for me as Iniesta's backup. Daniel Villalva from River also suits the barca type of player
If you're getting too much crosses in your box then it must be a problem of width. Try setting your width to wider. The opposite goes if your getting too much through balls from the middle of the pitch.
Whatever you do, use Hulk as a poacher (he scored 45 in 50 games for me as src)
I'd go with a 4-4-2.
GK : Akinfeev
DL : Clichy (wing back support - hug touchline, reduce through balls)
DR : Sagna ? if you still have him (full back support - hug touchline)
DC : Vermaelen, Koscielny (Normal Dc's...
