I use Martinez-Dante as mine for bayern. Might try Boateng-Dante

Well martinez is very slow in comparison, in game there is not much reason to prefer him to boateng imo, boateng makes up for it with his speed and better heading.

Google futhead for stats on players...

Boateng/Dante is superior combo i think, and i prefer to have luiz gustavo in mid as well because he kind of reminds me of ramires' skill set in this game..

Rarely any room for javi for me

[RealGunner]

Gustavo is too good to drop

[Onyx]

Gomez or Mandzukic?

[RealGunner]

Gomez

[Onyx]

Yeh, I usually go with Gomez too. Neither of them are all that quick etc.

[RealGunner]

i use both in 4-4-2.

[Onyx]

4-4-2.

[RealGunner]

yea ribery RW, robben LW. kroos n bastian Cms

[Onyx]

No DM?

[RealGunner]

Bastian has better defensive stats than gustavo lol

[Kick]

German hoofball. Gotta love that!

Personally, I play 4-2-3-1 with Bayern and don't involve Gomez untill he has to shoot. Kroos does all my attacking passes.

[RedOranje]

Gomez or Mandzukic?

Müller.

And no one should ever use a 4-4-2. Ever.

Update on my Swansea save.

Up to April now in first season and into the FA Cup Semi.

After starting my season superbly with 4 wins in 6 games I then won just 1 game from my next 14. A combination of bad luck, bad finishing and just out of form/poor play.

It became clear to me that I desperately needed new signings, my players just weren't good enough to sit in the top half of the table. I requested funds but was only given an extra 1m to add to my meagre 1.5m.

Here came the inventiveness. I put some of my best players on the market in a bid to get some cash.

Luckily I was able to organise a 19.5M (Euros) move for Vorm to AC Milan (easily my best performer). A great sum, but again my board were rough and gave me just 11m of it.

I then made some big swap deals:

--Victor Wanyama from Celtic for Ki S.Y + 3.8M
--Victor Ibarbo from Cagliari for Nathan Dyer + 4.9M
--Gerard Deulofeu from Barca B for Routledge + 3.6M

and then brought Shay Given in for just 1,000 for a 1 year contract.

Team is now:

Given 78
Naughton 76 - Bartra 76 - Williams 78 - Taylor 75
S. Roberto 76 - Wanyama 76
Michu 79
Pablo 79 - Ibarbo 78 - Deulofeu 74

Ibarbo has 8 goals in 10 games and I've climbed to 11th and aiming for a top 8 finish.

[Kick]

Just started a game with Atletico, just finished the first transfer window, and wow. What A window.

Sold:
Turan €45m to man city
Falcao €65m to Real Madrid
Diego Costa €9.5m

Bought:
Jesus Navas €21m + Mario Suarez
Ogbonna €15.5m + Gabi
Benat €20.5m
Goetze €60.4m
Strootman €14.8 + thiago

Currently playing 4-3-3 False 9.

Courtois
Juanfran Godin Ogbonna Filipe
Strootman
Benat O.Torres
Navas Goetze Adrian

Basically, city asked for Turan for €35m, I said €45m and they accepted and at the same time Madrid asked for Falcao for €50m, I said €65m and they accepted. Had over €100m to spend at one point.

Goetze originally rejected my €150,000 pw contract so I offered him a €250,000pw contract which he accepted.

Although, his finishing sucks.

[Onyx]

Atletico can afford 250k?

[Kick]

After selling Falcao and Turan for way more money than they are worth, I could afford Messi.

IRL, no they can't.

[BarcaKizz]

Decent transfer window.

Mattia Perin (GK) 77

[BarcaKizz]

Looks very promising... as do most of my players.

Btw... Wondering if anyone else has gone for Ibarbo. I'd never heard of him until I played him with Barca and he was on Inter's team. He was all over me... Incredible stats and has grown about 5 points with me in half a season. I'm thinking he's going to go well above 85.

A real beast with superb technique, I'd recommend him.

Ibarbo is incredible in game, i had him alongside Biabiany in UT for while. Absolute beasts.

Played a seasons game today as NUFC against Tottenham, was a cracker of a match, won 4-3 in the end. Ben Arfa brace, Sissoko goal and an Mbiwa header in the 88th minute

[Kick]

Yeah, I buy Ibarbo a lot, really good player!

[Onyx]

Jese Rodriguez.

[Onyx]

Anyone think the auto-tackle should be removed from the game? Sometimes it's impossible to operate in tight spaces. From out of nowhere a player sticks a leg out and tackles you.

[FalcaoPunch]

Beat MT 6-1
Porto vs Malaga

[Onyx]

Had Demichelis sent off for no reason.

And Malaga are scrubs in the game compared to Porto's 99 pace.

[FalcaoPunch]

Lol porto players are slow. Jackson, Varela, and Rodriguez.

Only pacey player I notice is Moutinho in the game. And lucho has a terrible first touch too
