Well, I have just started a Newcastle game, and if you are managing Newcastle at 11.3 then you will know that most of your defence is injured for a long time. Well, I just had my first friendly against Ajax and was in shock of how much my players easily got tired. So I have a few questions that I want to ask you guys to help me out:

1) How do you cancel friendlies? I seem to have one every few days and my players are gonna die because of not always being fit for matches!

2) Who should I sign/loan? Here are some screenshots for your interest:
Finance:


Team:


Tactic:


Recent Transfers:


As you can see from my squad, nearly all my main defenders are injured. Steven Taylor's out for 2-3 months, Danny Simpson is out for 6 weeks-3months. It's getting fustrating and that's why I have gone in so much detail so that you can give me the best advice.

Thank you for reading..

The friendlies are to build up match fitness, but to cancel any go to fixtures, click on the one you want to cancel, then cancel. Play Jonas over LuaLua at AML, and probably Ameobi over Lovenkrands. In my Newcastle save I started yesterday I bought Shawcross for £12m, Necid for £6m and Appiah for £2m, all have done well so far.

LuaLua was playing because Jonas is INJURED FOR THREE WEEKS in training :'(
I bought Throchowski from HSV though, he should be good :)
I'll look up the players you told me

For the first season I would buy to fill the positions we are short of quality or need backup in .... Striker - Gamiero is quality also look at Lucas Gaucho Sao Paulo (3.7 buyout clause) or Henrique same club , also I signed Danilo -Santos RB 1 mil then 4.5 over 48 months , also a good CB Gary Cahill - Bolton 2mil then 4.5 over 48 months If you need a list of quality players try here http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/f101/raikan007s-player-recommendation-list-t53506.html they are all quality hope it helps
p.s. the players fitness will get better but I would cancel a few friendlies or maybe all and setup a friendly schedule that prepares the team for playing twice a week saturday and wednesday
also sign Paul Winsper as your fitness coach he is available free and is quality

Thanks mate, concentrating on my story right now but when I come back to it I will look at your advice. But my scout told me Henrique costs like £19,000,000? I only have nine :S
I got a good physio myself, will check it for you :)

How did you manage to get 2.9 mil for lovenkrands? I can never normally sell anyone even offer them for free just to get wages of the books and still no takers

Scott Dann from Birmingham is a great CB

I signed gameiro, brunt and larsson and gameiro bagged 35 goals in 28 games, i didnt bother with defense, another RB would be helpful though.
