You should go to Spain and play with two DMs and look to suffocate the game, Madrid are beatable.

My midfield is where I'm weak. Sven Bender is horrible, Gerrard is old and doesn't get games over 6.8, have Cabaye on loan, so inconsistent, Ward-Prowse is my main CM. Already got Dembele for next season from Spurs for 9 million and Diego Reyes from Porto for 14 million.

Suarez is suspended for the next Euro game thanks to yellow cards. Not looking good.

Also Ward-Prowse is injured for a month now.

Should sign Wanyama every time, he is a beast.

Southampton wanted 30 million plus..

 

[Cruyff14]

lol I got him for 12.25. WINNING.

I can post the most valuable DMs in my game if you want - I am in 2020.

Yeah sure go ahead, thanks.

Cabaye can't play due to cup tied from PSG.

Means I'll have to go:

Horn
Kelly-Sakho-Agger-Moreno
Bender
Gerrard
Sterling-Otavio-Iancu
Sturridge

Notice my budget

 

[strauchanie59]

Dat budget hahahah see Reyes is up top

Just won 1-0 at home to Real Madrid, return tie in 6 days. Bender scored again in a big game!! They had Cristiano missing and Lucas Leiva got sent off before half time, not a very welcome return for him.

 

[Cruyff14]

Should rest your players from training so they are fresh.

I'd be disappointed with that home result.
I find home field advantage in Europe is immense.
I aim for minimum 2 goal wins, preferably 3 at home in the knockout stages of Europe.
Hate away legs. Would probably go with 2DMs and try and hit Real on the counter. Only way I'd be confident.

pissed off at myself in FM atm, I change my gameplan from a Liverpool gamestyle to a Chelsea type and now I've become beatable. But I'm arrogant and want to keep this game going for at least a year.

 

[Dirty Bird]

btw - Glad they've updated to penalty rates.
Last PSO I had I won 4-3 with 5 misses in the 12 shots.
Hated having PSO counts that pushed 22-21 (Have had that legit) where the first miss was what cost you the PSO.

We missed so many easy shots. Sturridge and Sterling missed easy chances. Should've been 3-0

Fair enough. Sounds like a normal game (tactically wise), just lack of converting.

It was ridiculous. Just happened again against Southampton, luckily Otavio was on fire and scored a hattrick. Bought in for 10 mill i think in the winter, 6 goals in 12 league appearances, throw in 3 assists as well.

 

[strauchanie59]

Went down 3-1 in the away leg. Cristiano and Bale went into beast mode.

2 league games left, sitting 4th, horror season in terms of the league.

 

[Cruyff14]

What year?

You need a complete overhaul.

2nd season, finished 3rd last year.

I would look at transfer listed players and sell players you know who you can replace/big wages.

That's what I'm doing, Cabaye going back to PSG at the end of the season. Gerrard will retire so there's 100k + in wages to spend. Reyes and Dembele will improve the midfield incredibly. Just need a new right back and maybe a left back.

 

[Cruyff14]

Get Clyne, 100%. Check out Jonathan Silva for LB.

 

[strauchanie59]

FFS. Up 2-0 at Norwich, they score 2 goals late to end it as a draw. Now 5th with a game to go. Looks like no Champions League unless Arsenal draw or lose in their final game.

Classic FM, its that and losing a match 1-0 from 1 shot on target.

Still the best team in the west!

Monster

But in older versions coz of his shit passing he gave the ball away quite a bit and cost me goals

Need to learn short simple passes, then get rid of the shoot from distance, and add shoot with power. Then becomes best DM in the world, nothing gets pass the lad, and tackles everything
