West Ham IRL would have no chance to win the league in the next 20 years unless something massive happened there and in the game it should be near on impossible to win it in your first couple of seasons

I would have to disagree with this, sorry. I think West Ham severely underachieved this season gone. They had a team that I would expect to have at least made top 7. With the quality of players they have and the resources, it's amazing that they finished where they did. I'm sure there will be a few more players brought in for next season and I would expect them to finish top 6 at least. They were playing 'Top 5 football' near the end during their 'great escape'. So: I don't think that it should be impossible to win the league with West Ham at all. In fact, I think it should be quite an easy feat to make UEFA cup at least. Any team with Ashton and Tevez up top will score goals. I finished second with them in my first season once.

I agree that they underachieved this season but it would take something immense for them to catch up with Man Utd and Chelsea, i even think it will take something big to happen for even Liverpool and Arsenal to be on par with them.

Not sure about that, mate. As much as it absolutely pains me to say it, I think Liverpool will be a genuine threat next season. Benitez has a war chest and I can see some big stars arriving in the red and disgusting half of Merseyside. As for Arsenal, I think that it's only a matter of time before they win it again. Denilson, Fabreags, Hleb, Adebayor, Eboue (the list goes on) etc etc will be better players next season, and we can't forget that Henry was absent for most of the games for the last one. He's a guaranteed 20 goals a season. If I were a betting man, I'd have a flutter on Arsenal next season. Or Everton

I think the title is going straight back Man Utd next season Ronaldo + rooney will be even better plus with Hargreaves, Nani + Anderson arrival Man Utd now have four of the best youngsters in the world

Never heard of Nani and Anderson before. Are they any good? Did they have good seasons?

Anderson is a 19 year old from brazil meant to be the next ronaldinho and nani is a 20 year old from portugal and is meant to be the next Cristiano Ronaldo. Real madrid - chelsea - barca and milan were all after them. The two of them cost United just over £30mil so if they're willing to pay that much for them they must be good.

I know this is off topic, but what instructinos would I change to "show strikers and wingers onto their wrong foot"? This seems very useful and don't know what to change to do this. Thanks

In Opposition instructions on the match day, you can choose 'show on foot'. I generally check the opponents' strikers and wingers every match and see whether they have for example "right only" or "left only", if they do, I choose "left" or "right" for "show on foot" for them. You can sometimes notice the effect of this from the in-match commentaries "On his left foot...he puts it wide"

Sorry about the odd format of my last post, here it is again:

This game is so flawed

It's no use having a squad full of star players without a decent way for them to play their football.
