Tbf in France you should be going very attacking with PSG as they have a lot of pace and a lot of creativity. You should look to control games and dominate them. Getting some sort of top striker would be the first priority obviously :beard:

Mmm I guess you're right. What formation have you found best works? I'd been trying the 4-2-3-1 (both deep midfielders and normal midfielders) mainly because Pastore is obviously an AMC.

I think I need a strong CB too. Lugano/Sakho/Bisvec are all too leaky.. Sow was an okay striker but not amazing.. Sturridge did pretty well though.

I have played the same formation with both Liverpool and Southampton (first season with Southampton/promotion+FA cup win and second season/won the premier league :facepalm2:

)
I use a 4-1-2-2-1
GK: Sweeper keeper, attack
RB: Full back - support
CB: centre back - defend
CB: centre back - defend
LB: full back - attack
DM: defensive midfielder - defend or anchor man
CM: central midfielder - attack (this is where I would p;ay Pastore whilst retraining him)
CM: deep lying playmaker - support
AMR: inside forward - attack
AML: inside forward - attack
ST: Poacher

Team instructions are:
Fluid
Control
Two notches above deep for defensive line
One notch below quick for tempo, same for width
Short passing

(the tempo and width might be slightly different as I am doing this from memory :mmm:

)

I find it creates a ridiculous amount of chances and lets everyone shine. I do make sure I have quick defenders like Shawcross, Skrtel or this really cheap defender with a name like Ecule or something.

You should try getting Wilfried or Doumbia. Wilfried was amazing for me but became injury prone and was injured about 40% of the season so I replaced him with Doumbia :h:

Edit: I always try and make sure I have a lot of players with a high-ish workrate and teamwork as well as I also play high pressing and hard tackling.

Would you mind emailing me your tactic? :mmm:

I guess I'll try that then. Do you put right footed players on the left and vice versa or just go with natural positions?

Hmm guess I can still try and pick up Veloso/M'Villa to play alongside Pastore as the centre three.

Not sure if I'll be able to play hard tackling.. you get a suspension in France for 3 yellowcards I think so I continuously had someone suspended (think I finished with like 60 yellow cards at the end of the season).

PSG don't actually give you that much money to start with (like 14mil?) Main thing will be finding a great striker who can hit the ground running I feel.. Def will get Sturridge as my 2nd striker.

My god 32 Million for a 20 year regen, and the regen isn't even that good decent at best. That's a massive gamble.

Due to work commitments haven't played much FM12. On my L'pool save, I have a massive injury crisis, Downing, Bellamy, Gerrard, Lucas, Robinson, Carroll all injured on International duty or in my first two League games and the transfer window has just shut :angry:

Signed Niang though and he scored on his debut!!! (Carroll got injured 14 mis in!! :facepalm:

) Made him Liverpool's youngest ever goal scorer :biggrin:

Smashed Doncaster 5-0 with my reserve team, Suso 3 assists and a goal! :wink:

Shelvey the other assist and 1 of the goals.

Unbeaten in first 5 competitive games of the season so not bad so far. Maybe this week I might get some time to play FM12 some more :smile:

meh, worth a shot I reckon, let Berbatov leave and needed another striker so figured this kid looks like he could be great, scored a bag of goals for River and already won a cap for Argentina...may turn out to be a wasted gamble but hey, have like £80m in the transfer kitty even after the transfer.

edit: they wanted £39m for him, but I got them down to 32 in the end, would have liked to pay less for him but oh well. ive won 3 titles in 4 years already

How good is Niang and how much would you pay for him?

He's worth £7m on mine, I've offered up to £15m but to no avail... Do I push for it? I'm in my 3rd season I think

Gotze and Fabregas have been purchased (Barca seem to be underperforming atm so I took full advantage and nabbed Cesc back :colone:

). But other than that I'm perfectly happy with my squad. I don't think there's a player in the world who could improve it (aside from Ronaldo, who is now 30 anyway, or Messi who seems to be getting slower each season :confused:

).

3 back to back PL titles and Champions Leagues. Typical that I get investment when I really don't need it.
The guy should have given his money to Everton or something, be nice to have a challenge.

EVERYTHING IS ON A KNIFES EDGE!!!

What a ****ing epic end to the season.

Last game of the season, up against City for the title (I'm Liverpool). Lots of twists.

Title deciders:
Everton vs Man City
Man Utd vs Liverpool

Everton lose to City, City will get the title unless I win at Old Trafford.

If I win, and if Arsenal win their game, they get 4th and last CL spot ahead of Utd and I win the title on their home turf!!! :coma:

Will Everton help Liverpool? Will Utd help City? A bit irrelevant but will Arsene Wenger get his 4th spot?!

My word. The fixture couldn't have been more epic. :cool:

Predictions? :biggrin:

Or, you could find the club at the bottom of League Two/the Conference, and buy one of their players for forty million. Then you can sit back and see how said club does with forty million in the bank. :holmes:

Signed him at the start of the game for 4.7 million and he's good enough to sit on the bench of a top 5 premiership teamand he pops up and scores important goals, so he's a very good investment!
