Hello guys, I just finished a perfect season at Man Utd, winning everything:Community Shield,Premier League,FA Cup, League Cup and Uefa Champions League.

I think I have a good squad and I can't see what major signings I should do, maybe just to buy some regens, but I want an opinion from you.
Here is my squad at the moment, just finished 1 season:

And the tactics I use:

What do you think guys ? Maybe the only weak spot I have in my team is the playmaker role, and that because Giggs and Scholes are getting old, and Cleverley maybe is a bit to young to be in my starting team.Anyway, here is a picture of Cleverley:

Now, even if my team looks good on paper, I still think to replace some players with others.

1)My starters as strikers are Rooney and Chicharito, but what do you think if I will sell Lewandowski and I will buy Cavani or Damiao so my attack will look like this : Rooney-Cavani/Damiao and Chicharito and Welbeck will be my backups.As you can see I also have Sanogo in my team.

2)Sell Nani and buy an assist machine like Bale or Hazard for my AML position.Valencia is my assist machine for AMR.

3)Buy a playmaker, keep Cleverley as his back-up and keep Giggs and Scholes in the reserves just for tutoring.I can buy Ganso,Hamsik,Modric etc. but all of them will be very expensive.

4)Sell Rio.Yes, he is a good defender but he is getting a bit old and he is my back-up for Sakho anyway.If I sell Rio I have 2 options:
-buy a young replacement for him
-use Phil Jones as his replacement but if I do this I will have to buy a replacement for Lars Bender

Sorry for the long post.Please read my suggestions and tell me which one is good.Also, feel free to ask me if you want any other picture from my save.
Thanks.
 
Hi mate- to be honest i wouldnt advice you buying anyone else as too many players in a squad can damage the 'squad harmony'. plus also you could be carrying a massive wage bill with cavani and after winning do you really need him?

if it were me i would sell some of your fringe players who are less likely to make an impact on the first team to help clear the club's debt. if it aint broken, don't fix!
 
1st point - trust in cleverley, he is a good player but not in playmaker role, he is box to box.

2nd point - the money you spend buying Lewandowski and willian, you can use for hamsik...

3rd point - chicharito and rooney are one of the best strikers, but only in the right role, rooney - complete foward..... chicharito - defensive foward
 
Getting rid of the debt is one of my objectives so you are probably right, I should lower down my wage bill.

I guess buying Cavani is not an option anymore, but what do you think if I sell Lewandowski and use Sanogo as a back-up for Rooney? Sanogo was available for the reserves team matches for all the season, I thought I could get him some matches in the first team but I didn't manage to do that, my bad here.Here is a picture of Sanogo:

I still think thought to sell Nani and get Bale or Hazard.Nani is a great player but he is not the right player for my AML.I want a player who can assist a lot,Young is also good but he is right footed so buying Bale or Hazard will be immense for my team.I will probably get 40m for Nani so it's cool.

Selling Rio is now a bigger possibility, I remembered that I have Fletcher in my reserves team, who was unavailable in the first season, so now I could use Phil Jones as back-up for Sakho and Fletcher as a back-up for Lars Bender.

I'm still not sure what do to with Cleverley.I will see how much money I will spend and if I can afford I will buy a playmaker and I will keep Cleverley as a back-up.This is the last problem I will solve.

Thanks guys.
 
Use Willian as AML mate... he is pure quality

You have more than enough depth at the moment, the only one I suggest is the AP role.. Hamsik would be quality in there and would be for years to come!

Other than that, see if you can pick up free players, Adler/Astori/Douglas/Coutinho etc etc.. Ballack even for a season, great tutor and can still play!

Be sensible if you want to rid the debt, thinking of buying players like Hazard etc is not going to get you there any quicker...

See some of my purchases in this little story, may help you out :)

Kovacic is available for around £6m and is quality!
