The Manchester United Thread

Think most big clubs have bit overpowered players. Most have been for United, might be bias as I play FM mostly in England and PL

Hit and miss, honestly. A lot of players are OP (Phil Jones, Rojo, Lingard - all are pretty usable, even for a Top-6 club). Pogba, may have needed under-rating, but he is still a beast in FM. Whereas Rashford could have used a bigger boost, I think. Same with Henderson and Greenwood, I think. Our youth, however, have been given a pretty good boost, so that I'm happy with. I've hated how United youth were generally rated over the past couple of years.

But overall, yeah, Top-6 clubs have some OP players. But like the researchers were stating at the SI forums, a lot will get changed for the main release as some DB changes didn't make it to the beta.

Lol, same. And he was surprisingly cheap (100 Mn $). Followed that up with Skriniar, and my team for the first season was mostly set (after selling Rojo, Romero and Lingard).

Bought him for £84 million (£72 million up front, a further £7.5 million if we win the league and a further £4.5 million once he hits 30 league goals lol). As for a CB, I'm waiting on Upemacano's contract to expire next summer (RB Leipzig are asking for £91 million for some reason). I went ahead and signed Andrea Papetti (hidden gem for a nominal fee).
 
Pellistri, Hannibal, Garner, Chong, Kwambala, Shoretire, Laird, Elanga, Fernandez - all of them look pretty good. Atleast a couple of them will make it to the first team naturally this time around, I think (Hannibal, Chong, Garner most likely)

Gurado, Mengi, McNeil, Elanga, Galbraith, Kovar all look fantastic on my save also. Obviously Greenwood and Williams also. And new signing in Jan Traore looks a beast
 
Kicked off at 1 Utd u18s vs Boro.

Team was:
Manchester United: Johan Guadagno – Iestyn Hughes, Rhys Bennett, Björn Hardley, Álvaro Fernández – Zidane Iqbal, Martin Svidersky – Charlie Wellens, Dillon Hoogewerf, Alejandro Garnacho – Joe Hugill.
Subs: Radek Vitek, Marc Jurado, Isak Hansen-Aarøen, Charlie McNeill, Charlie Savage.

Score finished 1-4 Utd goals by Hugil x2, Wellens, Hansen.

I think this is the way forward for you lads.

Sack the men's side off. Watch the woman's team in real life and play Utd saves on FM in between.

That way you can get your Utd fix and still be successful.

it's genius!

That's not a bad idea in fairness :ROFLMAO:
The majority of United fans under 30 are living in dreamland anyway ;)
 
Great game in the women’s derby! Proper derby with needle. City absolutely outplayed us first half getting a 0-2 lead could of been way more. But in the second half they came out with a rocket from Stoney at HT and got it back to a 2-2 result with an absolute banger from Tobin Heath to get us back in it. Then nearly won it at the end but had a header cleared off the line. Keeps us top of the league, but with Arsenal and Chelsea with a game in hand so at worst will be 3rd come end of the weekend.

After that though we have teams in the bottom half while Chelsea, Everton, Arsenal, City all play themselves for the next couple of weeks.
 
**** what are United researchers smoking to have Brandond so skilled. Stats seem like top PL FB.

Tbh it’s the same every year with kids in the English teams. Least Williams has performed at a young age at a top level. Some of the ratings for other youngsters in England who have not even played a min of first team football is ridiculous. It will always be the same in FM.

Its almost the same as the last year. Spoiler below for FM20

130CA and in FM21 he probably has around 133CA. I would agree that his potential might be a tad high ( though it might be random, mind!)

Greenwood has 125CA and I think thats too low. He should be on par with Brandon, if not few points higher. Lets take Liverpool for example: TAA has 2nd highest CA as a rightback in the game as a 20 year old, tied with Joshua Kimmich. Ok, you can argue with that, but how can someone think that Naby Keita, Jordan Henderson and Wijnaldum can all have 4, and 1 point below Bruno Fernandes is perfectly fine. Also FM researches are rating Fabinho higher than Bruno by 1CA.
Naby Keita with 155CA would be 4th highest rated player in Manchester United while he's 11th at Liverpool. And while talking about Liverpool players, take a look at their reserve team. Pedro Chirivella who has 49 games as a 22 year old midfielder in Eredivise on loan from Liverpool is just 1CA lower than Mason Greenwood.

Its even worse in City, Phil Foden is 19CA higer than Mason Greenwood and would be joint 10th best player at Manchester United. Do you know who Zack Steffen is? Well he's rated same as Dean Henderson ( both are GK) at 135CA! Cities youth and reserves are filled with players who have higher CA than Williams, Greenwood and 90% of us never even heard about them.

While I agree that some United players are overrated, it's nothing compared to years when United was at top, similar to Liverpool and City currently.
 
Come on , it happens everywhere that local young lads are overhyped the second they kick a ball straight a couple of times.
