Okay, so that changed recently.

I'm right in thinking that there is no limitation on them playing in the EPL or winning something, though, aren't I?

I think so, yes.

I'm about to go for my third straight champions league title, and for the second year in a row I'll be playing Barcelona in the final. Last year I masterminded a 3-0 rout.

This year the form is so so going into the game, and the main concern is that Dzeko is out for the season with a broken ankle, Petr Cech probably wont be coming back this season due to a broken finger (and I'll likely transfer him in the summer so he might have played his last match fro Chelsea), Hulk has a pulled hamstring and might possibly be able to dress for the final but he likely wont be able to start.

So it appears my lineup for the Cl final will look like this:

Altidore - Aguero
Ribery
Essien - Lampard
Mikel
Cissokho - Terry - Sakho - Renan
Matej Delac​

This is my normal first team except for Jozy and Delac. I'm not really worried about Jozy, but Delac worries me, he's only 20 years old and this is his first season backing up Cech. Overall he has a 7.16 rating in 17 starts, but most of those had been against bottom table EPL teams with the league clinched or in one sided cup matches. So anyways, I don't know what to expect from him.

About Cech, every three months for the last two seasons he starts moaning about a new challenge, so i give him a new contract, with the exact same amount of money as his current contract just one more season and he signs then 3 months later he is at it again. he just started it again so i'm going to cash in on him while he's still valuable and go for Lloris or Akinfeev or maybe Gigi if I can make a profit off of buying him and selling Cech.

Anyways, I'll let ya know how the final goes.

guys i in january 2011 now managing sampadoria. I need to get good left back and good wingers (both sides) need good cheap young players

That's a first rate Italien pronounciation of Sampdoria.

Renan is a natural left back, can also play RB very well and can also play as a wide midfielder. he's brazilian, i dont know how much he will cost you, i had to a lot for him in the first season, but he's worth every penny and by this point he should be one of the best fullbacks in the game.

 

[Lion]

I have him already. He good.

 

[Vinny Del Pogba]

Then you shouldn't need a good left back.

 

[Lion]

ffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

I meant right back!

 

[Vinny Del Pogba]

Cristian Ansaldi, might not be cheap, but he's natural at DL, DR, WL, WR and accomplished at MR, ML. He starts at Rubin Kazan but has likely moved to a bigger club by now. Worth looking in to and probably worth a purchase considering he can play both sides, he is pretty much left footed though and just reasonable with his right.

 

[The Curr]

Check out Cesar Azpilicueta.

 

[Bjerknes]

I play 4-3-3 with Seba and Gourcuff on the wings, and Aguero as an advanced striker, but I noticed he plays a lot better behind a striker of Amauri/Iaquinta/Trezeguet type

so when I'm a goal down or something, I send one of them in and take out the DMC, and play Aguero as an AMC, it works fine

I play him and dzeko as advanced forwards, i sometimes play aguero as a support and dzeko as a target man. I need a replacement for gigi for the primavera, any tips?

complete forward, attack when he's a striker.

attacking midfielder attck when he's an AMC.

I know most say its a waste, but he usually plays as an AMC when I have my full strength Chelsea side.

He's behind Dzeko - Hulk, he's utlra attacking role basically has him playing as a forward anyways, so its almost a trident, and it's pretty much unstoppable.

I'm asking because he's had about the same success everywhere. I've used Sergio as an advanced forward, support and also inside forward to run at the defense. Considering his skills and using two strikers I'd say advanced forward is his best suit, especially since he can score.

I have a similar question on De Rossi because he's done well almost everywhere.

Just curious, what are your specific roles in this setup?

With the diamond midfield and similar players, I've had success using Mikel spot as an anchorman, Essien and Lamps box to box, and Ribery as an advanced playmaker (not trequartista). Looking at that setup I think those roles would work well, maybe with Lamps taking a playmaker role.

poacher(a) - advanced(a)
atting mid(a)
center mid(a) - center mid (a)
anchor (d)
fb (d) lim def (d) - lim def (d) fb (d)​

very attacking, needs a very strong back line, but it's done great for me.

 

[Bjerknes]

Vintage Burke, exactly what he'd say.

 

[Naggar]

Best way to improve mental stats is to have him tutored by an experienced player with similar temperment (determined, fairly determined, etc) or to get him competitive match experience with your first team or on loan.

What I do is offer a player to other clubs on a loan deal, hopefully you get offers in the coming days, but I only accept the offers that say the player will be a valuable member of the first team. Never accept offers that say the player will be used as depth or whatever it exactly says.

If you dont get any offers then the only other real option is to send the player to a feeder club and monitor his progress once he gets there. if he's not getting playing time then you should bring him back and have him training at your better youth facilities and being tutored by a player from your first team instead of wasting valuable months sitting on the bench at some shitty 2nd or 3rd division club.

Hope this helps.

Alright thanks! I'll try these
I have this one kid I'm preparing to be the next Marchisio, he's a Juve youth product (from the game) and I had him tutored so far by Marchisio Melo and D'agostino, only week points are aerial and mental but I'm working

 

[Naggar]

I did the triple finally

Vintage Burke, exactly what he'd say.

See, I told you I hate chinks.

 

[Naggar]
