How did you get all them to arsenal?!?!
On mine Neymar is at Madrid, Hazard at City, Gotze still not moved.
I have an awful pickle this season upfrontI have Benzema, a.Hernandez as the main strikers and Leandro who can play ST/AM then I have Dale and Aspergoenous who are 21 and 20 now and both with potential to be better than them 2 but can't decide which to keep and play, I really want to use one as main striker as I love using the youngsters I've trained and it's the only way they will improve, problem is Dale's 21 so a bit further along but Asperogenous doesn't like goin on loan lol.. Can't decide which to send out as without both getting game time one will never reach potential
I got them by hassling my board for more money and by paying over 4 years lol, i think i pay about £4-5m a month for them all lol, but we still have stable finances so its fine!!!
I am in a similar situation, i play 3 CM's with 2 wide AM's and one striker, and trying to keep everyone happy is proving fairly hard as i have 3 strikers, 4-5 wingers, and a load of CM. Although Thiago fell out with me so hes getting the boot, he questioned my ability after losing our 1st game of season... despite winning champs league, fa cup and coming 2nd in prem the season before. I told him to piss off now he wont talk to me etc haha

Loan out the youngsters Birdie with recall clauses - I always do that with my youngsters!
On a side note, I finally got taken over last night, now have a transfer budget of £37mil
It's not as easy as that, I want one as my back up on the bench and to come on as sub (was Asper.. last season) but can't decide which! lol.. The younger one (Asper..) would be best off loaned out but he hates going on loan and refuses to go to my affiliate and the older one is now 21 so kind of verge of first team and went on loan last season lol.
After next year I'll have to make the tougher decision of who to use as the main with A.Hernandes as Benzema will be 31. I want my scout to judge them both but they are in my squad? Is there any way to do that, assistant manager know nothing?
I'm pretty much picking who is going to be my striker for the next few seasons as as soon as Kolsowski(whatever his name is) is about 17 hes getting games xD so only one of these will b his partner lol
@GBH ahhh fair play lol, sounds like you have a cracking attack
Have you still got Rooney?
My preferred set up with United with 2 up top was Hernandez on the right set up as a poacher, then Rooney on the left as a DLF (deep lying forward). I'd assume Neymar would work that position well too. Would be pretty mint as an AML too?
Yeah but the coaches are mongs! I have a 20-20 scout now and want his opinion lol

Pat rice retired after my first season so i had to promote my head coach to assistant (Boro Primorac) the difference in what they suggest for everything is huge despite boro being a very highly rated assistant just like pat rice
He sounds like a liability - get Wilfried
Doesn't look good enough
I need another Poacher, as I'm getting rid of Welbeck for not progressing
Out for 8 months, damaged cruciate
Right.
Alex Cisak, my previously first choice keeper who lost his place to Eliott Parish (who I'd nabbed from Villa) hasn't played for about two months.
Yet today, he was in the team of the week. Which makes perfect sense. Doesn't it?
Oh, and after hunting high and low I've finally found some form and a play-off spot is looking a tad more possible now..

I had him at the end of the first season for Spurs in FM11 and he was prem top scorer
anyone grabbed the xmas achievement?
No, how do you get it? Also where do you find what achievements you've got?
Just brought in Sammy Ameobi, Franck Moussa from Leicester (who is s**t hot) and half of Man City's reserves who got released for my second season. Oh and Max Power on a free - mainly for his name, but my scouts seem to like him and my fans were creaming their pants when he signed. There were a load of youngsters too, but not worth mentioning.
I've just given the now thirty-five year old Shefki Kuqi another year, mainly because he banged in 24 goals for me last season and was the difference between me finishing 8th and being relegated. I'd have preferred to have had him as a player-coach this year, but he wasn't having any of it.
One thing is, I've got waay to many players (32, including reserves). I'm tempted to start terminating contracts willy nilly because I can't sell or even loan out the deadwood. But am worried it could financially cripple me and turn the rest of my players against me.
I'm going up this year. Promise.

Yeah, he's pretty good - I generally play him as an attacking midfielder and he's constantly providing something. Only 23 too with a five star potential (he's three and a half at the minute).
I also managed to scrape a bit of money together and brought in Sanchez Watt from L'Arse - and I think I could well have unearthed a bit of gem there..
..he could also be complete and utter shite. Time will tell.

274 but in fairness I leave it open all the time.
I've gone back to my liverpool save and I had carra signed up to a staff contract for when he retires so when Gerrard set a date I tried to do the same but when he accepted the contract he just stopped playing... Oops he still had half a season to go and my home grown numbers are a problem lol

Won the league again last season, pipped City by a point.. All of us have started poorly this season which is good for me as I always do and sit top still haha .. Lost my keeper to injury for 3 weeks do got a 18 year old in goal
Update on wonder boy Kozlowski though he's now 17 and scored 25 in 26 do far for my u18s and Real Maddid have enquired lol

Brought in a few absolute gems on free-transfers recently (Medhi Lazaar, Matt James and Paul Smith) Smith got injured in training the day I signed him - but the other two have been outstanding.
I've also noticed I should really start selling some of my players - mainly Michael Ngoo who I got on a free from Liverpool, and when I put him straight in the reserves he kicked up a fuss saying he wanted to be part of the first team and wanted to leave immediately. Faggot. He's not going anywhere.
So, anyway, I had a look through my players and found that, throughout all three (senior, reserve & under18's) squads, and noticed that I have the following;
9 Goalkeepers
27 Defenders
16 Midfielders
18 Forwards
F to the LOL
