Hello, this is my first post in this forum. Nice to meet you all.

Anyway, I have started a game with MU on the demo. I'm impressed with the current squad but I just felt we needed a target man up front to partner Tevez or Rooney.

I am currently unbeaten in 7 games and coming 1st in the Premiership.

My Signings:

Huntelaar - 9.75m - My target man. He hasn't scored many goals but he has 4 assists already.

Van Der Vaart - 11m - I bought him to see if he is as good as people say in this forum. Unfortunately, Anderson has been exceptional and hasn't given much opportunity for VDV to shine. Will give more news as I progress.

Coloccini - 11m - A backup player that I rotate with the first team alot. Good while G. Neville is injrued in the first few matches.

I have sold all the backup players that aren't really useful like Silvestre, Fletcher and a lot of the reserves to gain more money.

I play 442 Normal formation with the MR and ML running forward. Rooney and Huntelaar up front. I set Rooney as AMC in the instructions and he is banging in the goals. Anderson is a must use.

Some very good signings there and an amazingly strong team. Really well done, but where is Carrick?


Hello and quite a good first post, welcome. Thats a good price for Huntelaar imho and you cant go wrong with VDV but I think Coloccini is a bad signing. For a back up player i think you paid too much and there are players who provide just as good cover at a cheaper price. Take Ignashevich for example. Available for free and very experienced and also Russia captain i think.

ah i forgot about carrick, yes he's still in my squad he's accepted being a rotation player it was him or fletcher who had to go and although i like the look of fletcher ijust think carricks style suited me better.

one quick note aswel i quickly realised that brown, v d sar and giggs contracts are up at the end of the season and if you wait until you assistant tells you their contracts are up in 12months time they seem to demand far less than at the start of the game i.e got giggs down to 39k and rotation

i had Huntelaar in my game too. wasnt satisfied with him at all. i think in the full game i wont buy anybody at the beginning and try to unsettle dos santos and get him in january...(and pray that Roo, Tevez and Saha will stay fit)

Just entered November in my Demo.

Had a weird preseason only winning the last 2 games to LL teams, drawing 3 and losing 1 to Barcelona.

Lost to Chelsea in Community Shield 2-1, domminated the game though.

Premier Leauge(1st): PLD 10 W10 GF2 1 GA 4
ECC(1st): PLD 4 W 4 GF 7 GA 0.
League Cup(4th): Just lost to Everton at Goodison 2-0, choose the wrong tactic i think. Had a mixture of youngsters and first team back-ups.

Shuffled my Backroon staff, Mutal Terminated a few a brought in a physio, couple of scouts and a fitness coach.

Haven't sold anyone, only Eckersley for 700k.
Only the one signing, Huntelaar, as my target man. Got him for £10m. I've played him in 14 games this season, only scoring 3 and assiting 3 . Kinda disappointed with him. Give him till the end of the demo to decided if I buy him in my full game.

Tactics:
Home:

4-4-1-1(Rooney/Tevez as playmaker, playing behind KJH or Saha as target man)

AwayTo tough teams)
4-2-3-1(2 DMs)

Counter-Attacking football with playmaker and target man also. Brought alot of success this tactic. 2 impressive away wins at Lyon and Olympiakos in the ECC both 1-0. And also 1-0 away to Liverpool in the EPL.

Got Wigan, Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea next in the EPL. I'll let you know how I get on.

How has Van der vaart been for you. I am going to either buy him or Matias Fernandez but not both.

Buys:
Amauri 11m way better stats than Huntelaar. Quieroz says he is a quality player in coach reports. I'm trying to work him in slowly, as the Tevez-Rooney partnership as done very well
Rafinha 10m Backup To Neville/ extra winger
Saivet- can be had for a free and looks good

Sold:
Eagles 3.1
Dong 1
Eckersly 700

Beat Chelsea 4-1 in the Community Shield, with Rooney netting a fab hat trick. So far I'm top of the league with 4 wins out of four.

bought zapatar too and adriano, some of the youth players are outstanding too

Even though Huntelaar isn't scoring many goals, his partnership with Rooney and Van Der Vaart has been brilliant. He has been winning every header for me, and the fans love him.

Van der Vaart over Fernandez any day. Fernandez was a consistent underperformer and was quickly dubbed a flop.
