It does indeed! I have the team instructions but have you tweaked much individual settings?

No. I just play players in their favourite rolls/mentalities. There are a few exceptions though as Jack Rodwell prefers to be a dm but obviously I dont have that position in my formation but otherwise its just playing them in their favourite rolls

MAY & PREMIER LEAGUE REVIEW

We finally lose our first game of the season
Newcastle beat Derby 3-0 in FA Cup final
FC Porto beaten in Champions League final
Rooney is off to Valencia next year for £20m

A fine end to the season. Although we started the month with our first defeat of the season thanks to Real Madrid but our 4 goal lead from the first leg was enough to see us through. To wrap up the title we won both games in the double header against Spurs who promptly sacked Donadoni (appointed Liverpool manager Rodgers) and then we drew with Arsenal before beating Wigan.

The FA Cup final, unsurprisingly, wasnt a contest as we easily beat Championship side Derby County 3-0. Thats 3 years in a row now we have won the FA Cup while we have got to the final 5 years on the trot.

The Champions League final was also fairly comfortable as we got two early goals. The semi final was the final really as we played our backup players against Porto in the group stage and won so they were hardly like to beat my 1st choice team!

FEEDER CLUB WATCH
In league 1 Carlisle finished in the play-off positions but failed to get promoted but thats because my other feeder side Gateshead won the play-offs. Gateshead in the Championship!!!!!
St.Johnstone were **** and Fenerbahce and Genk both qualified for Europe.

SUMMARY
Well at the start of the season I put my aims as to have an unbeaten league season or win everything and I did both! However we were so close to being unbeaten throughout the season that there is a slight tinge of disappointment there. Ever the perfectionist!!!​
 
After thoroughly enjoying the Bilbao save I finally got through the newcastle story and once again I'm very impressed Klippy, love the story, love the success however I miss Aitor.

Final

Italy 1-0 Brazil
Balotelli

The day before the final I got offered the managerial post of Argentina but I said no. Anyway we won the game and tournament thanks to an early second half goal from Super Mario. Ivory Coast came 3rd - beating Russia 4-2.

Giovinco won the player of the tournament award.

PRE- SEASON

(up to game day of Community Shield)

Newcastle splash out £60m on Neymar
Rooney, Bonucci and Kagawa among the departures
Newcastle spend £75m take in £101m

AIMS
Well after last season the next step forward would be to be undefeated all year
Loan Gateshead 4 players to successfully keep them up!

PLAYERS IN

Neymar from Santos for £60m
Cleison from Spartak Nalchik for £5.5m
Mohamed Shokry from RB Salzburg for £5m
Daniel Calvo from Barcelona on a free transfer

Those 4 are going to be involved in the first team with the Egyptian Shokry looking especially tasty. Here are the 3 regens -

and here is the other 4 I brought in - the 14 y/o looks good IMO

Also leaving permanently was Robbie Cotton on a free while loaned out for fees were Andy Carroll (£1.4m to Blackburn), Nathan King, Dany Fontaine and Dariusz Wasikowski. I sent 5 to Genk and 4 each to Carlisle and Gateshead.

Rooney left cos he was 31 - Bonucci left cos he was 30 lol. Kagawa left because of Shokry coming in and the rest were nowhere near the 1st team despite being quality. Annoyed that Dae-Il and Romario never got much of a chance with us (Dae-Il made no apps and Romario 4) but I have developed them brilliantly and at least its not a waste of talent!

Oh and if you add Nathan Redmonds loan fee from last season I made a profit on him overall lol

SUMMARY

Well obviously Neymar will take Rooney's place and the others are part of the squad rotation policy although Shokry may replace Hoilett as he looks so good. Chalobah will replace Bonucci in central defence. Bram Boonen has returned from Sporting Lisbon and looks like a beast so will give him a season to show me what he can do. Have maybe one or two players too much (I like my 1st team squad to fit in the screen without the need to scroll) but I will cope!

This may sound silly and lazy but I have never had Neymar before and I am planning playing him up front but I see he likes playing as a trequarista but I thought of him being ideal as a poacher due to his pace and finishing. Any tips?

Can always shove him out to the lw if he doesnt perform although I have enough wingers already
 
I mix it up with him and it depends if you are playing him as lone striker or with a pairing.
If you play him alongside Niang then play him as a trequarista, if alone then poacher!

Well on his debut he was alone up front as a trequarista and scored 2! lol. Will see how it goes
