Nasri \o/

No really it depends what formation you play. Do you use wingers? If so, I suggest you buy a winger who can play on both sides. If not, then either a midfielder (again, Nasri) or save you money for the january window and see if you need reinforcements.

Good luck with your game, and keep us updated, there's not much activity in here

Oh, I didn't see that you've already bought Adrien. Then you probably don't need another midfielder seeing that you'll get Marchisio and Luci back home nexxt year and you've already got Almiron, Nocerino and Zanetti.

How about investing in some talents? Tuia, Di Gennaro, Rigione, Forestieri, Bolzoni to name a few.

I signed Christopher Samba for 2.1M as he is a beast in the air

Ouch, Milan just bid 32.2 mio for Chiellini :eek:

Rejected. Not going to sell such a devoted servant and possibly the best LB on the game.

In fact, almost all of my players are chased by the top teams of europe.
Milan has just bid for 7 of my players, and 16 teams are interested in Giovinco to name a few examples.

I hope I'll be able to keep them all. In fact I'm relieved that my chairman didn't accept the offer for Chiellini on my behalf.

Can you post a screenshot of Giovinco please

Sure, here you go:

I've been playing a different tactic for the last couple of games and it seems to work amazing.
It's a 4-3-1-2, with 3 central midfielders whereas the one in the middle is a playmaker.
It's very inspired by Arsenals current style in real life at the moment with a very quick, short passing game.

If I decide to use this tactic, however, I'll have to change a few things in my squad. My wingers won't be needed anymore which will mean a goodbye to Marchionni and Gasbarroni and Rosina will be retrained as a striker.
I'll then have to bring in a playmaking midfielder - looking at Fabregas (probably unlikely), Banega and Hamsik where the last seems the most likely to fill that role to perfection.

Here's two screenshots showing how well it works:

The Palermo game could aswell have ended 10-0 but Agliardi (criminally overrated on the game!) had an amazing game and scored a rating of 10.
