Hi all,
I recently bought FM2005 and because it was my first ever time playing a management game I decided to start off with Manchester United, since obviously that would be easier than a low-down club. I'm having a dilemma with Rooney though, he recently recovered from his broken foot (which you get at the start) and now I have trouble fitting him into the squad.
I currently play 4-4-2 attacking, with a diamond shaped midfield, Scholes up just behind the strikers, Giggs and Ronaldo on the wings and Keane back in DM C. Rooney just doesn't seem to sit comfortably, no matter where I play him. If I put him in Scholes' position, he plays ok but not brilliantly, and of course Scholes is left on the bench doing nothing. If I put Rooney as a striker, he just doesn't seem to score or do very much.
Does anyone have a better formation that I could try? One that perhaps allows for Scholes and Rooney to play at the same time. Like I said I'm new to all this, I'm used to Pro Evo 4 where Rooney is an awesome striker.
Apart from my Rooney dilemma, I'm loving this game. I signed Pasquale Constanzo as a long-term replacement for Giggs and he scored twice on his debut. It's been a while since I smiled that much while playing a game
