Started a new game with Man City because of their new signings and how well they've been doing (usually tend to start with Ujpest in the Hungarian First). Having said that, they're transfer budget is amazing.
I sold Dunne, Ireland, Sun, Garrido and Onuahu for a combined $21.5, and brought in Vaart (18.5), Coloccini (13.5) Breno (CD/Sao Paulo, 9.5) and Haestad from Start for 1.3.
I use Scousers old 4-3-1-2 tactic, which i've been using since 06, and still rocking, as it takes advantage of good wingers and WB's. Unfortunately, all year had issues on my wingers.
Having said that, my end of year first XI was the following
Isaksson
Corluka - Colocc- Richards - Ball/anderson Silva (from Everton for 220K)
Elano - Haestad/Johnson/Gelson - Petrov
Vaart
Bianchi - Samaras/Mpenza/Vassel
Subs are Geovanni/Breno/Bojinov
Bianchi tore it up, and I also won the Treble
Second year, 3rd place, new signings are Akinfeev for the ridiculous 66Million

, Renato Augosto from Flamengo 21M, Ever Banega who just rocks in CM/DM, for 8m, and Eduardo from Botafogo 3.6m. Frankly, my WB's arent that great, though i prefer Corduka at RD as he's got better ball skills than Richards.
