Default Rant!

my United team is the following

Cech
Ryan Taylor-Ferdinand-Vidic-Bale
------Carrick-Hargreaves-------
Ronaldo-----Tevez------Rooney
-----------Anelka-------------

On paper this is probably the best team you can find anywhere.

The problem is that im not scoring any goals. Results include 1.0, 2.1. No 5-0 or 6-2s. On the plus side im not conceding any either.

Any the reserve players or subs are not helping either. Nani, Anderson, Rossi, Saha, Montolivo, Scholes, Giggs, Giles Barnes all cannot do anything to influence a game.

Why not try a 424 formation. have Ronaldo FL, Rooney FR, Anelka, Tevez in the middle or rotate them or even put Nani on the FL. you may conceed a few more but the goals will come. Plus go all out attack, tackle hard and close down. Your players will want the ball, kick the crap out of the opposition and score some goals. One thing don't put Rooney on tackle hard, he does that anyway :)

If a Policeman ever asks you, "where are you going in such a hurry?" Never say, "your house!"

im into my third season with United.

I should have pointed out that Anelka was bought on a free purely as backup. But he has been banging the goals so thats why i have kept him the starting x11

So why have you bought ryan taylor at RB and you need to be involving some more players off your bench from the start!

neville is past it, sold Simpson and Bardsley, and Evans and Pique are backup for the CB spots. I tried getting Alves but was priced out of it. Also that gut Rafael from Brazil does not even look decent enough to play in startin line up

try playing 2 upfront rather than 3 in AM. Tactic changes help alot as the AI get used to tactics.
