Nicho Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Just had something Ive never had before. My assistant manager came to me saying that that my 22 year old World Class Brazilian striker is suffering from a severe lack of determination because of off field events. Nothing has happened but his determination has dropped from 15 to 3 and now he cant score for shit. Ive also had a error where now all players have got Anderlecht or Algeria as part of their playing history and have transfer histories over a billion.

Villaphan04 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Any good replacements I should be trying to get for Benteke? Fierro, Barbosa, Juanmi, Leo Baptistão are a couple that i have tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Timo Werner is great as a poacher. Needs to play alongside someone though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adw95 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Any good replacements I should be trying to get for Benteke? Depends how you want to play... I don't rely on crosses or height so I don't typically have a striker who is great in the air, I've had Carlos (Clube Atlético Mineiro), Kenedy (Fluminense FC), and you can try to get Jese on loan from Real...

Czechlad Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Well it's all moot cause I was fired. I went 3 months without a win and only scored 2 goals in 13 matches. No matter what formation I played, no goals came. 3 at the back, 4 at the back, or attacking strategies from the start and yet nothing. This game is not fun. I have yet to make it a full season with Villa and not be fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adw95 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Have you tried 4312? It's usually a good formation for villa as the CM's are probably the strongest area in the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) Have you tried 4312? It's usually a good formation for villa as the CM's are probably the strongest area in the squad. Who do you use where? I started with that formation but had Sanchez/Gueye in the DM role. Then I had Delph and Cleverly next to them. Gil/N'Zogbia as the Attacking Mid. I'd sometimes change it to a 4-3-3 which never worked for me. Basically here are my line-ups: Any suggestions on strategies to use?

adw95 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I find it's the midfield and strikers that make the difference so I play a BBM, BWM or DLP, and a RPM in the 3, AP as the 1 and AF and DF as the 2. Bacuna ends up being pretty decent if played in the RPM position as he's got good all round attributes. I also play possession based tactics if that makes a difference.

Czechlad Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 My computer crashed cause I accidentally shocked it, but I hadnt saved so I was sent back 3 games before I got sacked. I switched to a 4-1-4-1 with Gueye as the DM and Bacuna and Sinclair as the wingers. Kozak was my lone striker cause Benteke is moaning about how he hates my tactics. Well I went 7 matches undefeated with that formation and I am now 11th. Benteke rescinded his transfer request, Vlaar resigned for me, and board confidence is up! I even got the manager award last month! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) The amount of injuries I have right now is insane. Vlaar, Okore, Baker, Clark, Delph, Agbonlahor, Richardson, Sinclair, and Herd. I literally have 1 fit centerback at the moment and it's Senderos. I was given about 13 million to spend on some new players. I stupidly got Guidette on free so now I have Benteke, Kozak, Agbonlahor, Weimann, Helenius, and Guidette as my strikers when I play a 1 striker formation. I also got Pilar just cause I like him in real life. Any suggestions on who to buy? Keepers: Guzan, Given (he is so shit now), Seigrest Defenders: Bacuna, Hutton, Okore, Vlaar, Senderos, Clark, Baker, Cissokho, Luna Midfield: Gueye, Sylla, Delph, Cleverly, Westwood, Gardner, Richardson Wingers: Sinclair (out till January), Gil, N'Zogbia, Pilar, Tonev Edited July 12, 2015 by Czechlad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villaphan04 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 look at Carrasco, Ould-Chikh, Jese, Murphy, Sisto, Munir, and Berardi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 They all wanted ridiculous fees for those players. I went and got Defour cause I needed midfield depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
