villa4europe Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 after some good free transfers I think in season 4 I've finally got a good Benfica team that can compete in the CL, was getting out the group every year but losing in the next round, this year got Atletico, Dortmund and celtic and beat all 3 away from home Livakovic hysaj VVD Dias Grimaldo Luis Szoboszlai J Rodriguez Bernadeshi Rafa Haaland Then got ferro, luis suarez, unacar and newgens on the bench, struggling to find a really good keeper and then newgens for back up at the wing backs, suarez has been disappointing, thought I could play him vs the shite in the league and keep haaland fit, Szoboszlai is a great player, him, VVD, dias and grimaldo all have 5 star ratings its slightly harder than I thought, the CL obviously is hard but the league is difficult too, you cant drop more than 10 points + get the results in the games vs them or porto will win it, lost 5-2 vs them away in the league and im now in mid/late November, they have a 100% record and that's the only points I've dropped 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livakovic is world class on my save. Tried to sign him before I got Lafont but he chose Dortmund over me at Villa. Strangely Szoboszlai is at Dortmund too on my save and top class. Ive not tapped into free transfers all that much. Signed Arp from Bayern on a free, and I’ve agreed a deal to sign Dominguez the Argentine CM from Bologna, who’s classed at ‘World Class’ on my save. How does Haaland do for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 30 a season, he's "normal" scores vs everyone too, dippy teams, big games, Cup finals James Rodriguez got what might be my best assist haul ever in a season, something like 26 last season, the team has goals in it, haaland will get 30 and then 5 or 6 players will get double figures Never had a crazy 50/60 goal a season striker, might be the tactics I'm not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 28 minutes ago, villan-scott said: I f**king hate Mason Greenwood on my save. I tend to get the better of Utd every game now, and dominate. Win the majority of games against them. However, he is just ridiculous. I can’t seem to counter him strolling through and scoring every time I play them. We’re in January and he has 36 goals in all competitions. Haaland has smashed this season is on 35 and Boadu on 16, I think their development has escalated now I’m a Champions League regular and competing for more silverware. Their attributes have increased more rapidly this season and classed as ‘Elite Strikers’ now. Had a bit of clear out in this Jan window as Abraham, Chukwueze and McTominay weren’t happy with their game time. Sold TA for £36m only signed him for £12m. Sold Chuk for 37m and McTominay for £25m. Will probably sit on it and hope for a bigger summer budget. Greenwood isn't up to a huge deal for me but Rhian Brewster is doing a similar thing for Liverpool as Greenwood is doing for United on your save. Boadu literally hitting 50+ a season for me now, close to 200 goals for the club! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I’m hoping for 50 for Haaland and 30 for Boadu this season which would be an amazing return. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 yep that's the way to stop it, negotiate the deal with something you know they wont agree to and I thought they scrapped the option for after international games for ze germans, unless you've deleted the file, he cant get called up on the standard game because of them not being on it (which ive never understood) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante_Lockhart Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Bossed pre-season, can't buy a goal or a win in the league. Sitting 16th with 2 draws and 1 loss (Utd, West Ham and Liverpool.) Got Chelsea next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted January 17, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted January 17, 2020 Think I jinxed Haaland when I posted about him. He had scored 35 by January, I’m now in March and he’s still on 35!! Didn’t score for a few games then damaged ankle ligaments. Went on international duty before kicking a ball for me and got injured again! Luckily Boadu is among the goals and my new gen Big Brian Walker has hit double figures in that time. Won the Carabao Cup. Into the FA Cup Semis. Just smashed Milan 6-2 to make the CL Semis, and top of the league by 10 points. Things are going well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Fired up a psg game so I could have another look at boadu, came up as an 84 (haaland a 66) so put a bid in Ended up at £20m up front, £35m over 12 months, another £27m in bonuses, 50% profit and a friendly Madness How much have you got him for at villa?
