Manc12 Benzema wouldnt come because Madrid only just signed him and at the moment I only really want a back up player because Rooney and Owen are awesome together, Rooney just rips through the defences, they cant handle his spped and strength and Owen will put away just about every chance he gets. Valencia is alright I reckon he is a bit better in 09 though but he is playing very well atm I start him on the right wing in a 4-2-4 and he has two goals in his last five games including a goal against Arsenal and Fiorentina. Fletchers attributes are a bit better in 09 too I think but he is still performing nonetheless.

Im lining up like this atm.
------------VDS------------
-O'Shea-Vidic-Evans-Sakho--
------Fletch-Van der Vaart--
----Valencia--------Di Maria-
-------Rooney---Pandev-------

I signed Di Maria as talented cover for my squad for only 4 mil and Silva to take the LW for 15 and at the moment Di Maria is undroppable and Silva is on the bench, Di Maria is my best player behind Rooney and Owen and the Di Maria and Valencia wing partnership is just destroying defence. Di Maria has excellent passing and shooting whilest Valencia has amazing crossing and a good finish. Evans is also un droppable and has been a star and atm Im rotating between Vidic and Ferdinand to partner him with Vidic being a better defender but Rio has four goals this season in 15 games. Sakho has come in for Evra who is injured and he has four assists and a goal in three appearances, he has amazing crossing. At the moment the team is playing very well and I cant fault them at all

and to make matters worse, De Rossi and Maicon are what my team needs haha.

I think i may have overspent on hamsik and dzeko in january, but with my 443 formation pato and dzeko can not stop scoring. dzeko has 15 goals in 8 starts and 4 off the bench while pato has 18 gpals in 15 starts and one off the bench. flamini has also been in wonderful form while hamsik is average atm. my defence is the area i need to six up the most. thiago silva is my one decent defender. bonera snd antonini are average while onyeuw us below average and nesta, zambrotta and oddo are all old and declining

What version FM ChelseaarebetterthanCeltic?

FM 2010

Maybe Rafinha or Santon instead of Maicon? Central midfield? Wheres Veloso and Van der Vaart? Madrid will take 8.5 for him

santon doesnt want to come to me and i doubt inter will accept any money from me. i have had a look a rafinha in the first season but i didnt have much money to spend and schalke wanted alot. i think i might go back in for him soon.

edit: wolfsburg (rich with the money i spent on dzeko) signed rafinha for 38 mil.

Jeez, what about Veloso? Is he still at Sporting? If he is and Moutinho is you might be able to get him for a good price

umm last i heard of veloso he was with lyon. not too sure about moutinho but he isnt the guy i need. flamini and hamisk are doing fine with gattuso and ambrosini chipping in when needed

Yeh Flamini and Hamsik are quality in FM. Hamsik is one of my favourite players.

Veloso is the player I try and get every game and in 09 I have Santon in all my saves.

pato is a gun. he got pretty much every award he could of in january, including foriegn player, serie a fans player of the year, player of the year and was on the bench in world team of the year when he scored the most goals. 39 goals in 40 games. then he comes out and scores 5 goals at juventus. he is keeping my 77 mil signing out of the team.

Edit: Veloso is someone who i will probably go for if De Rossi doesnt come and santon is really good but there is no way inter are going to sell a wonder kid who is a first team regular for them to their rivals

Berbatov is a freak, he has just walked into the team after injury and he has seven goals in five games, he cant stop scoring. Rooney is unstoppable in Europe too and has nine goals in five games in Europe. He just got Player Of The Month in the EPL and Di Maria got YPOTM with two more of my players being runner up in Evans and Sakho. I got Manager Of The Month as I am still undefeated in eraly December with only one draw and the rest of my games all wins

Aurelio Vidmar just became manager of Roma

Things have slowed down a little in mine. Transfers have been quiet. The January window is coming up and there hasn't been so much as a murmer.

Deigo Forlan has bagged 11 goals in 8 games in Spain, while Rooney has 9 from 8 in the EPL. Remarkable form.

Jo and Owen have simmilar records to that in the EPL in my game Afro but Owen is injured now, Rooney is unstoppable in Europe and he has started to translate that to the EPl for me too

Oscar Cardozo has bagged 8 from 10 for me, nice return for the 4.3m I paid. Not to mention 3 assists.
Torres has 7 from 7.

That's just in the league. All up Torres has 12 from 12 and Cardozo has 9 from 12.

My fans are in love with Stevan Jovetic too. 6 goals in 12 apps so far, 7 of those off the bench.

Yeah my fans cant get enough of Di Maria, he has really made the left wing his own, in all my board evaluations or whatever they commend me on that signing.

Owen looks to be returning soon so I now have a selection headache Owen and Berbatov have more gaols than games and Rooney is just an explosive player, I think I will keep Rooney and roatate between Berba and Owen for a while and the most impressive will get the spot permanently

I spent about $40 million on 3 players for the new season. They're starting to find their feet now but we haven't had as good as a start as we did last season.
Does anyone know how to fix problems with discipline? Because a guy in my team reckons we have a problem with it.

Have you been letting players get away with red cards and suspensions and lack of discipline like not showing up for training? Thats the only way I can think that you would be slack

Nope. Nothing like that has happened which is annoying.

I need some serious work to bolster Atletico Madrid's defence. It's quite woeful.

I used to get Vermealen cheap in 09 he was quality. Do you have enough funds for Sakho?

I've got 13m, but the way the game jacks up player values...I don't know.

If Leo is good in FM10 then get him (plays for Gremio)

Get muscat8-[ 8-[

Sakho's tackling is too low for my liking. I don't like anyboyd with below 15 tackling.

Leo's not bad, just not good.

I might try and sign Steven Taylor :-k

'Zola confident of handling Curri'

Best headline I've seen :lol:

There are better.
"Dicks upends Butt"
"Arshavin cuts inside"
"Gay has eyes on Thompson."
"Demol wants De Cock."

I ended up signign Carlos Matheu from Independiente for 10m to play down back for me.

"Scholes lobs Seaman from 40 yards"

Best headline ever!

"Keegan fills Schmeichel's gap with Seaman"

Is the second best ever!

Yeah...those didn't appear in FM though.
