villa4europe Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 ive bought soler on pretty much all of my saves so far and think he's worked out once so i gave him a miss this time luan was a new one for me, never bought him on any save or game before, had a great 1st season, doesnt look like a natural striker with his stats but got me about 25 goals, clayton is another first timer for me, maia, lincoln, pavon then vallejo on loan in season 2 are all pretty standard now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

German too, so I put a load of bonuses in the purchase and also contract for internation appearances to get the deals done. Hehehehehehe. I can't believe I've never thought of that!

villa4europe Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Tbf I quite often unlock the team anyway but this one I forgot, make it I think so it's 20+ games and then it doesn't come out of this year's budget, then offer like £20-30m knowing it will never happen if you do unlock the German national team what I've found in the past is it's ridiculously hard to get appointed manager, not sure if it's a flaw or what, I think one year I had a mega Dortmund game on the go, fergie HOF challenge, won stuff with Germany u19s, u21s etc I think I even resorted to cheating and adding a new manager as national team boss and retiring and they still wouldn't appoint me, won the league something like 7 years on the trot and got "you could hear the laughter echo round the corridors of the German FA as Atkins went for the national team job" words removed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) Started a new save as Malaga. Going to be a real slog but they've got some excellent young players coming through plus I managed to snag Soler, Mir, Lyanco and Ascacibar. Sold Camacho to PSG for £30m so i'm pretty minted.

Villaphan04 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Just signed a back-up striker from QPR Conor Washington. He has shown some brilliance with a hat-trick on his debut in the cup and is currently my leading scorer. Any other signings that y'all would recommend? Also, what do you guys do with the staff at a club you join? I basically gutted Villa's coaching staff. Any recommendations for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexbelowsound Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Miguel Almiron was a great pick up but in this patch he's gone to that American side that Guzan was reported to have gone to in real life....but then didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always ended up buying Gaya at some point to as my left attacking full back. Funny how there are always a select few players you always end up buying, making every save the same >_< More expensive options, but I've always liked Gimenez and Saul from Madrid.

I've never failed to sign him in the second season for any team and I don't tend to play with 'big teams'. You're probably looking at about £9m including add ons for him. He's not quite the animal he used to be. His PA has been nerfed but he's still a sold 150+ PA. Down though from what he used to be which was was the high 160's.

Last year every save my team would end up full of Argentinians. Pavon, Driussi, Mammana, Romero etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 you can get mammana on loan first season gaya went too expensive so i ended up with jorge from flamengo, hes now gone to monaco, grimaldo has gone to benfica so im struggling at LB now i like lucas from atletico too, before them it was oliver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I played a couple of seasons as Hamburg. If you can get Gregoritsch then you've snagged an excellent player. Plays as an attacking midfielder with unusual attributes for the role in that he's both tall and pacy. Has an excellent long shot on him well. Kostic is also excellent if you play with wide men.

He's young but available for 6/7m probably - not sure if this is different on the current patch. Jorrit Hendrix is pretty solid for a defensive mid - can also fill in at other positions. What I sometimes do mate is look at the transfer rumours page, then look at some of the players teams are linked to - snagged a few gems from that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
