I have a Man Utd game going and am just about to start my 3rd season. In the first 2 seasons I won both the League and CL.
I'm playing a standard 4-4-2 with my wingers making forward runs slightly, closing down often, attacking mentality, counter attack where possible. My starting XI last season was:
GK: Akinfeev
DR: G.Neville
DL: Evra
DC: Ferdinand
DC: Vidic
MR: Ronaldo
ML: Nani
MC: Anderson
MC: Hargreaves
SC: Tevez
SC: Rooney
Bench:
GK: Van Der Sar
S2: Heitinga
S3: Carrick
S4: Giggs
S5: Marica
I was top scorers in the league and had the 2nd best defence. I only lost 1 CL game all season. Roony and Tevez got 30+ each in all comps and Marica chipped in with 19 as 3rd choice striker (including the winner in the CL final!)
Now the problem... I have just signed Zapata on a free (worth £15.5m straight away) and have also signed Messi for £45.5m. I was thinking of maybe putting Messi in for Anderson in the centre but I've heard he is much better on the wings, so then I was thinking of taking Nani out but he has had a storming pre-season on top of a good season last term.
As well as these problems I have the emergence of players like Wijnaldum, Alex, Benitez (FC one), Cathcart, Evans, Defour, Barazite and Mihelic to consider, I can't keep loaning them out forever!
I'm willing to change formations but don't really want to break up the Rooney/Tevez partnership as it has over 130 goals to it's name in 2 seasons. Hargreaves is another player I'm reluctant to tamper with as he had an excellent season last term as MC scoring 15 goals and getting 17 assists.
GK:FORGOT HIS NAME . LOL
LB:EVRA 3
RB:BROWN 6(IF YOU STILL HAVE HIM)
CB:OBV5
CB:OBV15
CM:HARGREAVES 4
CM:ANDERSON 8(THE MORE ATTACKING OF THE 3)
CM:CARRICK 16
RF:RONALDO 7
LF:ROONEY 10
ST:TEVEZ 32
but also put them three midfielders feeeding the three front men .. and try ronaldo on a free role (H) .. glad to help ! .. cheers , joe
4-5-1
Hmm how about switching to having 5 in midfield and 1 striker, Since you only got 3 strikers should not be a problem to rotate them and you can play messi and anderson(Dunno why you signed messi and didnt sell carrick or so)
