Dante_Lockhart Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I'd love to play with an AMC, but I could never get the balance right and ended up conceding far too many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoelVilla Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 3rd season with Inter and top of the league. Candreva has been brilliant. Monaco makes a bid for him and he wants to go there. Not going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted March 31, 2017 Moderator Share Posted March 31, 2017 4-1-2-2-1 or 4-2-3-1 for me. Working well in season one. For the fella struggling to sign players - add a few extra quid onto their signing on fee, and that of their agent. A few recommendations of potential hidden gems - Amr Gamal is a good Egyptian striker (not first choice but useful); Frederico Venancio is a quality central defender and easy to get if he's still at Setubal; Necip Uysal has been a great defensive midfielder for me; Charlie Taylor at Leeds is a quality left back; Denis Zakaria is another good central midfielder; and finally not really a secret but Thiago Maia is class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quazzie goat Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Its so hard getting a new stadium or expansion with Villa. Anyone ever had a new stadium built? I've won the Prem two seasons in a row and Tony still won't expand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan_of_oz Posted April 2, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) So I ended up signing, Dimata - 15 mill Venancio - 1.8 mill Khazri - 8.5 mill Nordvelt - 4.1 mill Flanagan - 6.5 mill Plus 3 young players. 4 games in, 1 win 3 losses but am still pretty happy. Played reasonably in the losses and like that the new signings have bedded in quickly. Thanks to those who gave me suggestions of signings. One thing I've noticed is that it seems really hard to sell players, even at £0 price tag no takers for decent players.

Dante_Lockhart Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 First season in Prem. Won the EFL easily, Kodjia getting 42 goals in 43 games. Told everyone that I'd give them all a chance next year but still brought in 5 players. Sold a couple too. In: GK: Rajkovic - 7m (Key Player) DL: Zeca - 8.5m (Rotation) DR: Kristensen - 5m (Rotation) DC: Mammana - 12m (Key Player) MC: Verre - 9.75m (Rotation) AML: Sigurðsson - 17m (Swansea got relegated) (Key Player) First team now looking like this; 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
