Player by player:
GK - Boruc is okay. But if want to aim above than the UEFA cup spot predict, you better get another one. Ustari and Akinfeev turn godly in the game, but in the year you are, surely they are on bigger clubs. Try Constanzo. Suggestions here?
RB - Erm, he's not as bad as you say, but I hate that in regens. High teamwork, crossing and stamina abilities, but then stupidly low off the ball and positioning. You better get a good one. Until then, he could be more defensive away.
LB - Marking could be higher, but overall, he is great. Free-kicks for him, and maybe even corners. Just be sure to put someone in his place for defensive. Send him in some forward runs and crossing. And run with the ball as well, he has good dribble and strength to hold on in the wing.
CD - Schmoller is a good one. He isn't really quick, so be sure the defensive line is deep. You should also try giving him some time to long pass, because he has great passing and creativity.
CD - GREAT one. He should be the man to score in the set-pieces and fk for the area, he totally has it all. He just has one problem...SLOWWW. Another reason to put a deeper defensive line.
RM - Erm...if you aren't expecting to counter-attack with this guys are you? He is good, but he is quite slow for a RM. I only buy one when he has pace above 14...and acc must be good as well. Oh, he would give a good forward, as target man, with some training, imo. Overall, you should consider another one.
LM - Slow once again. But great technical stats, but they aren't everything. He has awfully low mental stats. Stupid regens.
CM - Sahin has great stats for a more defensive midfielder. Not a complete one, but a great one. Still, sometimes a "tanker" DM is needed for teams, and in Premier League even most. Sissoko anyone?
CM - Moutinho is CLASS. Totally, he wrecks it all in my game. Mixed at forward runs, run with the ball and long shots. Often through balls and no crossing, and see the great exhibitions coming.
ST - Kose is good. End of. Be sure that he is always on the area. And give him some training jump, let him lose speed.
ST - GREAT stats for target man except mental. Oh, and high jumping and strength and no heading. What shouldn't we do...=/
ST - Morgan looks good. Give him a mentor, maybe his mental can go up.
Ok, with these players, UEFA cup is possible...but hard. You have good players, but some of them are regens. In 100 regens, 10 are good enough. Yeah, you are Stoke, we know.
A counter-attack tactic with this team is IMPOSSIBLE. No pace, no nothing. And the attackers, even though they are ok, they have loads of problems, especially on mental stats. Another thing I noticed is that your team has VERY HIGH teamwork stats. Yeah, that is great, but sometimes for good things to come up, some players need to have low teamwork skill, individual skills time you know? Go see Robben or Ronaldo teamwork stat. Surely isn't 14/15. Maybe 9/10. You know what I mean? There is lack of explosion in your team.
IMO, 4-4-2. Deep defensive line, low width and normal tempo. Deep defensive line, high tackling (we are no pussies here, as someone else said around SG). Give some creative freedom to your RM, the rest should be normal, with 3/4 ticks down to low. Short to mixed passing. No counter, no tight mark. You should consider sometimes a target man, to hold the ball and let the team come up. Oh, and totally bet on set pieces, you have great players for it. DL putting the corners and FK, ALWAYS.
And good luck, be sure to tell the results!
