Some advice please:

This my current squad/formation:
GK: Akinfeev / Castaldo
DL: Chiellini / Pasqual
DC: Barzagli / Tuia
DC: Criscito / Breno
DR: Cassani / Alves
MC: Fabregas / Marchisio
MC: Mascherano / Nocereno
AMC: Rosina / Gourcuff
AMC: VanDerVaart / Kaka
AMC: Aguero / Walcott
ST: Bojan / Pato / Balotelli

Now, ive been doing quite well thus far (touch wood. :p), but i'd like to make a few changes, mainly to the strikers.
I only like having 2 players per position, it makes rotation easyier.
Problem is that i have 3 strikers. I could do with chopping that down to two.

Now, of the players i have, i technically have 5 strikers.
Aguero is gonna be used AMC only though so he's out of the running. And Bojan is on fire for me. So he is also.

So that leaves Balotelli, Pato & Walcott.
Now Balotelli does great for me when he comes on and is an excellent sub for Bojan.
Pato not so much, but he is Pato.
Walcott i play as the right hand player in a set of 3 AMCs. He doesnt do all that bad tbh.
Out of the lot, Walcott is the one i think would be better going, despite his good form the previous seasons in a ST role. But that'd leave me one AMC short.
Can Pato play AMC? And how well does he play it?

Thoughts?
 
Answer about Pato, i think, maybe 'pretty dam good'!
I played him in Rosinas position, so on the left of the AMC trident, with VDV and Aguero. Scored 2, setup 2, rating of 9! :D.
If he can keep that up then Walcott is getting shipped off! lol.
 
POW!!! :D

Lmao i take it you're one of best in game nowadays?

Not really playing FM anymore :(, got it open now though, long way to go.

Am only in August 2011.
 
YES!
Bojan got top scorer in the league! :D
The first player ive had do that since season 1 in FM07 with LucaToni. :D

Two games to go, Liverpool in the CL Final and Juve in the cup final.

Unfortunatelly, my main drivnig force in AMC, Aguero got injured a game ago, scored 3 in the game, setup 2, then got his leg broken! :-o

The trebble is on....:D
 
Won Juve 4-0. Trebble. :D:D:D:D

End of season now:
Squad:

Pasqual has been stuttering all season.
I have a 21 year old DL with a PA of 180 and a CA of 132 that im thinking of rotating with Chiellini, or the other option is to move Cassani to DL, and have a young spaniard who has a CA/PA of 165/189 at DR with Alves.

Thoughts?
 
so that tactic worked ok then boom :p

Scored 166 this season. Thats 60 more than usual.
Conceeded far more though, 55. Which is 3x more than i used to conceed.
But a trebble im happy with. :D

Just looked through my youth team:
I have Chiellini and Alves who are DL/DR respectivly.
Cassani can play both.

Who do i add to that:
DL: Nardi 133/183 - not very fast.
DR: Zaballa 162/189 - 13 acceleration, otherwise very good.
DR: Banti 145/180 - Not bad stats, not great either. A good season would see him get the stats i need.

The no-brainer says Zaballa, with Cassani moving to DL.
Thoughts?
