[CM4]42 million for who?

Senior Squad
I JUST BOUGHT BONERA!! HE S 20million 500thousand dollars as an active release fee. and I had 22 million left. Since now I am in the summer of the game. Now the problem is who should I start at defence???
these are all my
defenders:Silvestre,Ferdinand,Chivu,Zaccardo,Bonera,P.Neiville,J.O'shea.
Also What formation should I Play??? I have so many good midfielders,defenders and forwards.

I have Barthez at goalie as he is doing amazing. He is worth 20 million still and still has good stats. I just sold Ricardo to Betis. Vitor Valdes is doing alrite in my reserves. But Luke Steele is doing great he is becoming better and better, he easily starts on the english u21 team and has great stats. Then I have Kasper Schmeichel in my Under 21's as the starter.

I already said the dilemma of the defence.

Midfield:The thing is who should I play and how?
THese are my players:
Roy Keane,Deco,Nicky Butt,Veron,Scholes,Giggs,Beckham,Farnerud,Wright-Phillips,Fletcher and Barbosa.

Forwards:I have too many good ones and even better ones in the youth system coming up too.
Forwards:Cisse,Van Nistelrooy,Rooney,Robinho(who is back),Le tallec is on loan for a little more,its becoming hard to sell Forlan(VERY hard)just sold Ole. Then Vieirinha and Cerci are doing absolutely amazing in the U-19's and reserves.

I hope you take time to read this as I need to fulfill these problems by putting the right players on the field with the right tactics. I will be looking to a goalie also next summer. As this summer BONERA is my big signing. Thanks.:rockman:

Damn thats a might fine squad with nice backups.

For your defence play Bonera, Rio, Mikal, and Chivu on left.

Play with 1 DMC who would be Keane

Play 3 mids, left giggs, mid Scholes or Farnerud ( if you built up his stats that is, i remember him on CM 4 he was amazing after like 2-3 season of training/loans). Beckham on the right.

For Forwards Cisse and RVN, Robinho and Ronnery are still young so just let just chill on the bench and play them in league cup games to give Cisse and RVN a rest if and will then get tired.

Also use lots of rotation snice you have a good squad, like League Cup and early FA Cup games use your bench warmers so they get time to play and your original 11 get a break.

Also as i have said before use a 4-1-3-2 it works very well in England, i went 62 games unbeaten with Arsenal with the 4-1-3-2 that i used.:) I hope this helps.

Thanks Thats very good advice. Do you thinkI should play Veron instead of Scholes because Veron is worth like 36 million i think. I dont know if i should keep him on my bench. You have any tips on the goalkeeping?

haha i didnt see that :crazyboy: Bah i changed it.

About Veron i wouldnt play people by how they are vauled, just try rotations between Schoeles and Veron and see who plays better.:)

I would play Bartez right know snice you say he is playing amazing. Once he gets really old thou let Kasper takeover(H)

Is this normal ? ,Kasper doesnt have that good of stats right now. But hes only 16. Also Queiroz would rather have it like this he thinks.
Zaccardo----Bonera----Ferdinand----Chivu
Zaccardo and Bonera havent played a game yet for me. But they both have done great for pre season and Bonera did great with Italy in the euro. For some reason Robinho cant get a work permit for his contract renewal should i just let him go? HE is becoming great. Also Le Tallec just came back from loan and hes also great.:(

Yeah, at the age of 16 most players arent even close to their best. Especially goalies, I prefer them to be over 30 personally

Rotate. In my experience with Milan, players dont get lazy and always play good football, expecting to secure a place in the first 11.

What am I going to do with all these wonderkids and great forwards?Rooney,Ruud,Cisse,Le Tallec,Robinho,Forlan.
Also anyone when is the right time like to switch someone from reserves to senior squad or u 19 to reserves? I have that problem with Fletcher,Tierney,Cerci,Vieirinha,Barbosa,Paim,Cerci,and more.
Also the coaches said that Paim and Cerci and Ribeiro have been at the club too long and might not get much better?is that true? in my other games this never happens and they become world class.

After the above question anyone know of Andrew Nicholas? In my other game I signed him from Liverpool when he was 19. Hes a defender. and in 2 years he was starting for my defence. The fans loved him too. I just got him right now on this game hes only 20 right now but im going to put him in the reserves, he was very cheap. Hell get much better and probably be a good backup. He was at Chelmsford because Liverpool didnt resign him.

Rotate them as i said. As you have 6 strikers, in a game you start Ruud and Robinho, then Rooney and Cisse, and Le Tallec and Forlan. If you are playing CM4, maybe they're right about Cerci, he wasnt that good at CM4, on 03/04 he's a machine though.

You should know the right time, when you think any of your U-19's could make an impact in the first team, promote them and give them some time, it should work.

Forlan is the only one i really want to sell. Cisse scored a hat trick a few games ago and he has done great. But now Robinho is in his last year of his contract and cant get a work permit to get his conract renewed. What do i do? There is so many teams after him too. I want to get rid of Forlan though so bad. plua Cisse is worth 35 million dollars right now and nobody is interested.

He cant get a new contract prolly cuz he didnt get enought games, theres nothing you can really do. Just wait till his contract goes out then offer him a new contract when he doesnt have one, thats the only way you can get him back.

If you want 5 at the back, play 3 defenders, a DMR and a DML. 3 in midfield and 2 upfront, that's how i had some success. Or you could play 2 MC's and a AMC, good too. Never had any success play 3 at the back and only 1 guy upfront in 03/04.

Heres an Update and I need some help. Ive been doing very well this season. I am in the 2005/2006 season. I need a Defensive Midfielder to replace Butt and Keane since they are both out of contract this year. I tried Lazzari and Petroccia but I dont know if its to late to develop them.
Right now here it is:
Gk: FREY(Bought him finally(H) ) and Barthez(last year)

Defence:Bonera,P.Neville,Silvestre,Chivu,Ferdinand,Paul Tierney,O'Shea

Mid:Giggs(last year),Veron(last year),Keane(last year)Butt(last year),Scholes(last year),Beckham,Deco,Ronaldinho(
(H) ),Farnerud,Fortune

Fw:Robinho(Amazing, actually got the work permit back and is great also at midfield)Le Tallec(on loan),Ruud Van Nistelrooy,Cisse,Rooney, Ole and Forlan on their last years they never play

My starting lineup as of now:
---------------Frey----------------
Bonera-----Ferdinand------Chivu-------Silvestre
---------------was Keane injured-----------------
Deco or Becks----------------------------------------Giggs(Farnerud sometimes)---------
Ronaldinho----------------------
-----------Cisse----------------Robinho
Rooney injured Becks Injured Keane and Butt also

Im doing pretty well but I really need a defensive midfielder, a good one I only have 5 million dollars right now but I dont need money till the end of the season when Keane and Butt leave.

Also my youth is amazing

Fabio Paim is the greatest (gets a 10 in every reserve game, sometimes use him in senior games when the team sucks)
Alessio Cerci (not as great as Paim but scores so much for me)
Luke Steele and Kasper (are getting to be amazing GK's)
Helder Barbosa: :o He gets to be such a great winger right now hes only 18 and hes amazing.
Vieirinha (looking like a promosing good forward, probably wont use him though)

I hope you guys can help , like if I need anyone or anything diferent?:mrpimp:
