Official Summer Signings / Rumours / Information Thread

A bit of a lesser unknown but after his goals yesterday thought he deserved a mention. Paul Pogba = Monster in the middle. If I had the funds ( well I had Pogba but just on loan) I would replace Welbeck with him in an instant. beast.

 

I don't play online but I'm planning on getting a newer version once the window closes in an attempt to end the 'dooms day' error I keep getting

 

I nearly bought Pogba (£18m) for Aldershot Town but opted for Fer (£9m) instead. Partly because the former is an ex-manc

 

Ex-manc, yes.

Told Sir Alex to do one, hero!

 

Ravel Morrison isn't too bad on the game either but same principle

 

Fer is class on Ultimate Team. Skill and power.

Got Hazard in a normal gold pack yesterday

 

Just got offered the Brazil role which I accepted. what a forward line up they have at the moment - Hulk, Damiao, Neymar, Leandro, Lucas, Ganso, Diego

 

I took the Brazil job in my Gremio game. I thought similar when I saw their squad but it seemed to be much harder than I anticipated. Quit because i wanted the England job which, after roughly 200+ international offers (not in one career), I am still bloody waitining for

 

Summer 2015.

Finished 5th in the league after being in 4th for the majority of the damn league. Got some serious injuries to my strikers and the games I simmed I lost. Got offered numerous jobs but I like to have a challenge so took the Chile job.

Started out with one of my best DM (munoz, regen player) demanding a trade, De Costa went back to Bayer ( didn't even know he was on loan!), and my CB Roger retired. Bought some free agents who I hope come good and then bought Carvajal from Bayer ( RB) and Marcos from Fluminense ( St). Marcos feels much better to play with than Aboubakar but at least I have options now.

Just gotta figure out what to do with the money. Save it for January or look to buy one quality player. Wages are killing me though!

 

Tip: if you want your budget to increase, increase player wages

 

****ing Munoz, first welbeck then him. Worth 10 but got 18 for him so have some to play with and 80K wages at the moment. Trying to decide how to play this....

 

Get two or three on £30k per week or more then buy players

Summer 2013 is difficult because players have developed. I got Pacheco for Aldershot that window though, he was valued at £8.5m but got him for £5.5m. Sold him for £20m+ before too.

Leandro may be cheapish still too, depends if he's still at Gremio

 

****ing Suarez left me with a week left of the January window. Top of the league by 20 points, still in 4 competitions... what else does he want??

Bought in Sturridge, Isco and Thiago with the cash.

Basically collecting CAMs... I've got Eriksen, Thiago, Isco, Duricic and Shelvey now

Team halfway through season two is

--------------------------Reina (88)
Johnson (81) --- Skrtel (85) --- Agger (85) --- Enrique (81)
-------------------------Lucas (82)
--------------Benat (84) -------- Eriksen (83)
Duricic (83)-------------Sturridge (83) ----- Sterling (80)

Coates (79)
Kelly (81)
Allen (82)
Thiago (80)
Isco (79)
Ince (76)
Leandro Damiao (85)

Reserves...

Butland (73)
Wisdom (74)
Sama (70)
Robinson (73)
Sergi Roberto (78) - highly recommend him
Shelvey (78)
Suso (75)
Redmond (74)
Yesil (70)

 

Reverend Absurd...

How far into a career are you...? I know you are beyond a season because of Shelvey's and Sterling's ratings but then I see Sergi Roberto on 78 and he's normally in 80's by a couple of seasons

 

Halfway through season 2.

Probably because I played Shelvey a lot last season, Sterling is a regular...

Sergi I signed halfway through season 1 and he's been a rotation player since. Love him though.

Sterling also did his ACL in my first season and actually went -1 for a while!

 

I feel ashamed that I knew roughly how far into the game you are by looking at the stats

I love Sterling on the game, despite his long shots/finishing being poor statistically, he doesn't half bag some goals

 

He's deceptively quite good yeh...

Hopefully by the time he's around 83+ his finishing will be better. A little strength and he'll be a monster.

I scored the majority of my goals with Suarez though... played a 4-2-3-1 until I sold him. Rejected an offer of 47M from Madrid... then the board sold him at face value for 32M... gutting. Who do I play in my next game? Real Madrid

 

Just to make you feel better...on the old 'Fifa 2013' thread (disappeared when Davidako deleted his account), someone had said they'd managed to get £60m for Suarez

I play a 4231 type system too and the one does seem to get most of the goals but then, they should do too. The three all chip in with goals but the central and left AM get more than the right

 

Sharing the goals out more now... Leandro, Sturridge, Eriksen and Duricic seem to score a lot.

 

I've got him on loan too & he's been great.

I bought Matias Suarez & he's bagged 20 league goals in 21 games so far
