Good Tips

[cj23brooks1992]

Hi All, for anyone still playing the game, if you want a winning team follow this guide.

Start as Arsenal, budget is £47m- 51m

Sell:
Manuel Almunia £1m
Johan Djourou £5m
Philippe Senderos £3-4m
Justin Hoyte £3
Gilberto Silva £7.5-8.5m
Denilson £2m
Alex Song £5.5m
Mathieu Flamini £3-4.5m
Alex Hleb £8.5-11m
Nicklas Bendtner £7.5-8.5m

Sign:

Neuer £7.5m (he'll be your backup first couple of seasons)
Micah Richards £15.5-17m
Valerien Ismael £3.5-4.2m
Vincent Kompany £11m

I set my tactics to have corners to the edge of six yard box, central defenders and defensive midfielders to attack from edge of box, these 3 will bag loads of goals.

Fernando Belluschi £13.5m (put in bid on 1st day otherwise he'll turn down the offer to sign a new contract)
Aiden McGeady £12m

These two will be your main corner takers, you want McGeady to take right corners and Belluschi to take Left corners, so they're swinging in. Also have Fabregas taking from the left and Rosicky taking from the right, will bag tons of assists.

Also sign Fred £10m, as a back up stiker, however I rotate with one up front with Van Persie and Adebayor as my main strikers, both bag loads of goals, have also found it effective using Van Persie on the right wing. Or sign John Carew for £9.5, not rated highly on the game but will bag loads of goals.

Tactic- 4-2-3-1

GK: Lehmann
CB (r) Ismael/ Toure, CB (l) Richards
RB Eboue, LB Gallas
CM (r) Fabregas, CM (l) Kompany
WGR Van Persie, AM Belluschi/ Rosicky, WGL McGeady
ST Adebayor

Full backs and Attacking Mid should both have the shortest runs set. Wingers runs straight up in line with the edge of the box. Def Mid should have feeds set to the arrow point of the opposing wings run, wingers feeds to the striker.

Went the first season unbeaten, winning the quadruple, Adebayor got 61 goals, Van Persie 46. McGeady got 50+ Assists, Belluschi 30+, Richards got 17 goals, Kompany 10/10 G/A, Fabregas and Rosicky both got 10+ assists.

If you're a foreign team, remove one country when selecting which are playable, you can then sign Dusan Cirkovic and Semir Stilic, two buggy Bosnians who are valued at approx 10-50k and will bag you hundreds of goals and assists. Another bug is Dragan Stankovic, his age and position vary, I usually only sing if he is 18, you will need to wait until the first international break to be able to sign him, but you can get him for £3.8m, his value will immediately increase to £8.5m. Franklin Salas' value will also increase after signing too, sign for £5.5m and value increases to £11m.

Young players wise (I usually start signing these in the second season, 18+ put into reserves, 18- put in youth), build your team around the following:

Nicolas Radovic
Harvard Nordtveit
Jack Rodwell
Krystian Pearce
John Bostock
Aaron Ramsey
Fran Merida
Victor Moses
Scott SInclair
Mixalis Pavlis
Bojan Krkic

Staff changes, keep Pat Rice, Boro Primorac, Steve Rowley, Colin Lewin, Gary Lewin, let go of the rest. Then sign Brian McClair, Mike Phelan, Paulo Paixio, Robert Duverne, Franco Baresi, Jorge Vital, Piet De Vissier, Frank Arnesen (you will need to offer a signing on fee of 800k to get him due to wage demands), Ron Yeats, Rob Swires.

Later on in the game, I always had big success with the 1st regens of Riquelme (300+assists), Diego Milito (700+ goals), Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi (both 200+ assists), Robbie Keane (400+ goals), Fernando Torres (600+ goals), also had a midfielder who I believe was the regen of Scholes, ever present in my side, good captain, played 800+ games.
