Man Utd 1999
By a score of 6-2 the Man Utd story wins. I'd rather it won 8-2 but that's another story isn't it Arsenal fans!
It was the time of our lives! Fresh off winning the treble Manchester United's squad of the decade had reached their pinnacle. Hights the famed "class of 92" would never meet again. One by one they all left over the coming seasons with a few more League and cup titles.
Not on my watch
We have 55 players of the players signed over the past 20 seasons that are in the game on my shortlist and 25 players set to come through the youth teams, 1/4 will be good enough to challenge for game time, and there is no Greenwood. i was upset to start with but remember the game only gets to -10 players so Greenwoods -69 cant be put into the 2020 save.
The Squad
Oh God, this is the Taibi team. Nightmares were abundant. However, it seems Bosnich is very overrated so he can stick between the stick since Van Der Sar is unchallenged at Juventus and Schmichael is 35. Barthez maybe but not Tim Howard and god no to Andy Goram! Thankfully not a desperate need to upgrade.
Gary Neville is safe at RB with Only Valencia, not in the game yet is on the shortlist while it seems we'll be reliving the **** of Silvestre at Left back despite being a class DC Wes Brown and Jaap Stam will be my backline unless i can get Rio from Leeds for a bargain and they'll be backed up by Henning Berg.
That midfield 4 could be there in 10 seasons time although one day we'll have a Ronaldo vs Beckham debate. Some more backups are required immediately, however. **** and Blomqvist are not getting it done!
Up top, it's Cole & Yorke the deadliest strike force known to man. Ole the boss is the only backup I'm keeping. Old Teddys going up for sale with the no3 spot going to one of Henrik Larsson, Ruud or Berbatov. Michael Owen tops the hitlist but not at his 1999 value.
Youth team stats John O'Shea, Darren Fletcher, and Jonathan Greening are a few years away from being a thing. O'Shea could be the no1? Never conceded a goal and megd Figo.
On a less exciting not I've take charge of Scotland from Craig Brown. Not likely I'll post much about that unless we do something mega, i just want to replace the Berti Vogts memories
Two Rules
I can sign only 1 non Man Utd player and 1 Newgen to a contract each season.
Due to several players not being in the game Evra, Tevez & Vidic from the 2008 champions league squad alone I've decided i can sign a maximum of 1 player not in the Man Utd shortlist and give a contract to 1 new-gen per season. Without this, i would be crippled at DR immediately and long term there are a few holes we could have especially between 2010-20
Set Tactic
Rather than using my own overpowering tactics and setups I've plugged to play the first Sir Alex man Utd tactic i found. If we're awful then I'll go back to my own work.
