Can anyone recommend any 4.5/5* coaches for Man Utd in defending and tactics? Got 4.5* in all other areas. Defending and tactics are only 4*. Four coaching areas have average workloads despite two of those areas having three coaches! :eek:

Yo Tummy. How much did Marquinhos, Balanta, Romero, Pogba and Depay cost ya? Must have had to sell Smalling and Fellaini to Newcastle to raise some funds. :p

Were all those transfers in the first season or some in the second as well? How much did you get for Smalling and Fellaini?

Hey bro! Umm I'll have to double check as the game is saved on my PC! I'll update after the second half of the Chelsea vs. Southampton match :p (about an hour)

Off the top of my head, I got Balanta for £7.5 million (£2 million up front with £5.5million over 48 months), Romero was the same, Depay was £25 million (his goal scoring record is insane, at least 1 a game, I'll try and grab some screen shots) and Marquinhos was about £20million.

Pogba was second season and cost a fortune :(, £62 million with (I think) another 8 in add ons (after so many appearances).

I sold Smalling first season for about £10 million, Fellaini for about £17.5 second season.

Depay scored 30 goals in 32 games in the League during his first season, second season as of February has scored 23 in 18 :cool:.

Is the match engine fixed? quit playing because of how atrocious 2014 was but saw this for £10 and had me tempted but everything I can find just tells me this game is ridiculous for goals and tbh looking at your 13-2 score line they seem to be correct.

I've played it since 2013 and I've never seen a win as high as that. Sure, I do get the odd 5-1 or 5-2 but I've not had anything like that.

I've played Football Manager (Champ Manager) since '97. I am just godlike on this game ;).

I've only ever had a couple of results ever as high as that though, it was a stunning attacking performance (annoyed that I conceded two goals though) and Newcastle have been universally horrific in my second season.

I am not of the opinion that this years match engine is considerable worse than the last couple of years, nor a massive improvement.
 
Oh no, I totally understand that point. It's just like, you could get two 60 million players (and have change) whom last 10-15 seasons.

I'll pick Ronaldo up at some point, but not for 100+ million :p.

Thoughts on first season...

The Good;

  • Depay was a fantastic purchase, played 40 + games for me but have been unable to have him scoring as usual (averaged 1 goal per appearance on previous saves played in the same manner).
  • De Gea. Most clean sheets, all the defence played excellently and only conceded 20 times.

The Bad;

  • Forwards. Strikers. Van Persie (managed 12 appearances, 8 goals) was injured for the majority of the season. Rooney (17 appearances, 9 goals) was injured and generally rubbish. Falcao had his loan terminated straight away. Wilson and Kane had good seasons, but the majority of goals came from the attacking midfielders.
  • Rooney spent half the season bitching about a lack of playing time (was injured) and the other half bitching about achieving everything he could with the club.

Second season :cool:.

Transfers in;

  • Kaluba, Sunderland
  • Meli, Boca
  • Pogba, Juventus
  • Reeve, Chesterfield
  • Schneiderlin, Southampton
