Week 10


Man Utd 8-1 Man City
View attachment 295313
No Ronaldo, No Messi, No Januzi. What could make Man Citys season any worse than a Man Utd team without there 3 top attacking players still manage to put 8 goals past there relegation thretend side. Even our Center Back Vallejo got a couple as we shared the goals between 6 players. My day was made better when after the game David Moyes became the new Man City manager.

Nice work,

The temptation to grab Ronaldo in my game is so real right now. Trying to flick back the pages see what age he is starting your latest season.

I'm into my third season into the game. my top three are all ones for the future and developing, but my wide players carry me with the goals. Getting a monster like Ronaldo up front mine be the ticket short term :D
 

Week 11


Arsenal 0-5 Man Utd

Still no sign of the top two players and we lost Gotze who fills in for them best after 16 minutes. We already had a 2 goal lead by that point and some how another 3 would follow!

Wins for Chelsea won in Swansea while Arsenal dropped points again although Southampton are fighting them for League position just now. Liverpool threw away points at Cardiff who grabbed a late late equalizer. Man Citys revival goes on with a win at home to bottom side Blackburn.

Cant wait for this save to end so you can share that tactic haha!

Odegaard seems to be doing well for you. Can I ask how you went about managing him before integrating into your first team/squad?

I only play really with one AMC, with an accompanying CM in a 4-3-3. Tielmanans and Kovacic are my midfield pair, I also got Patrick Roberts as Fulham had to cut their losses after relegation(got him for a bargain)

I have Odegaard playing in my under 21's, but starting to get some coaching reports that he is tailing off a bit.

I think having Odegaard, Roberts and Tielmanns is a bit overkill, but considering two of them have the best PA in the game, I simply cant say no :D

I tried to get Roberts but he chose some donkey team over us.


Odegaard played, Plenty of u21 games too, keep him active as much as possible.
Season 1 nothing but cups in
Season 2 second season he got 5 cup starts, 2 league starts 12 sub appearances
Season 3 Similar to ^
Season 4 made 15 starts mostly out of the League

Cardiff caused another upset with a draw with Chelsea and Arsenal & Liverpools wins close the gap between the rest of the top 4. Plenty of teams fighting for the Europa League spots and are not too far from the top 4. Man City look to be back to normal form with another big win away to hull.

Ah yeah you've shared your teams instructions, but interested to see the first 11 positions, especially your midfield.

I think it's similar enough to mine, I run a 4-3-3 with two Inside Forwards, but I use a Roaming playmaker sitting just beside a CM Automatic and a Advanced playmaker.

You seem to score a HELLUVA lot more, granted you have Ronaldo, I've a decent strike force but don't hammer teams as hard as you do :)

Will read over the instructions and compare to mine when I get home
