Mauro Junior, is Ricci not on loan at Monza currently? I’d rather have the potential in Mauro Junior than Ricci who’s career isn’t going anywhere.

I mean Federico Ricca, Uruguayan playing for Club Brugge!

So, maybe also @thorgan lesar would have something to say about it, but I didn't want to spam his thread!

[Veére 3]

Will Pellegrini reach 92 in the next update?

How about a 95 for Son?

Also, reckon Vinicius to get 90 by season end if Real finish in top 3?

Zero percent chance Son gets 95 in my opinion

Not sure he gets 90 this season, it is possible but Zidanes likes to rotate his wingers.

Rodri Hernández worth getting?

A young 92 rated DMC/MC is worth getting period.  As a starter for City, buy him!

you/Anthony just need to relax and settle in.  Posting just for the sake of posting gets old.  

[thorgan lesar 3,049]

Some questions…

 

1.      Romelu Lukaku or Roberto Firmino ?

 

2.      If you have Dayot Upamecano, Mathijs De Ligt, Wesley Fofana, Jules Koundé, Alessandro Bastoni and David Alaba plus some youngsters coming through as Ronald Araujo, Odilon Kossounou, Marash Kumbulla, Roger Ibanez, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Edmond Tapsoba and Jhon Lucumi is it worth keeping Lukas Klostermann and Gabriel Magalhaes ?

I'm playing 3-4-2-1..

Anyone know which formation and tactics are ideal when your team is facing a much stronger team, and do tactics actually matter?!

Yes, they do..

There is a manager with a squad of 92+ and is 13th at the moment in a league with 20 teams per division. His tactics are sh*t to be honest..

I am manager of a team for now 6 years.. I changed a bit my policy in profiles to add to my team and changed it to a simply 4-3-3A . 

A 4-3-3A, direct passing, very attacking and pressure on only the half of your side and high tempo.. It helps a lot when I'm facing a stronger team. No target man.

Change after 60 minutes to normal tempo, pressure all over the field, offensive and both (passing and style) mixed.

Tackling style always hard.

 

It helps, but it also depends on the tactic of every opponent..

1. Lukaku 

2. Would keep Klostermann depending on formation you play. Great cover across the back 4. I think you can afford to let Gabriel go

Been waiting for a Henderson +1 forever but with his injury I'm now doubting it'll ever happen. Think I'm going to sell Hendo and purchase Barella who's doing well in a solid Inter side, fully expect him to get a +1 end of the season review. Is anyone else thinking the same?? 

I don't have Hendo in my teams so I can't think the same. ☺

Also with AC Milan no longer top (no surprise there) I'm worrying whether Romagnoli will get a +1. 91/92 rated CB's are scarce in my league and I was hoping this would be my chance to get a nice 91 rated into 92 end of the season review  I don't watch much Serie A sadly, @Milanista1 do you have any advice?   

I would keep Romagnoli, given the fact that 91-92 rated CB's "are scarce" in your GW.

His issue is the system Pioli plays, it requires us to push up the pitch, this (at times) allows the opposition to hit us on the break which (turtle legs) Romagnoli is clearly not cut out for.

However if he's got a pacy CB such as Tomori or Kalulu alongside him then I reckon he should be fine as long as they and Theo Hernandez can get back to cover him.

Theo seems to forget that he's actually a defensor sometimes - it's kind of annoying, especially when he's on the other side of the pitch during the oppositions full on attack. Having said that, he has been one of our best strikers since he arrived at Milan. 😀

Things are a little strange with Romagnoli. Didn't start yesterday against Roma, Maldini came out and said he was rested due to so many games. Come on total BS. I don't see him starting for the Italians at the Euros as well. 

Edit: I thought Tomori played very well, great intensity

Alessio just needs a rest to collect himself after his poor performances. He would be much better of playing alongside a more pacier CB to cover up his lack of pace. I hope Pioli has finnaly realised this. 

I agree! Kessie and Tomori were the best on the pitch against Roma.

Giving Son away for getting Muller plus Vinicius/Kulusevski?

Go or no go? Reckon Muller can get 95 if he keeps up the performance and Bayern will the league? 
If duo, Vinicius or Kulusevski?

For the immediate and future it's looks to be a good enough deal.

It's possible. However I don't think Vinicius is that much of a talent when compared to the likes of G. Veron and Rodrygo.

Basing this choice on their current SM rating, performance average, and age - I would sell (the LB) Federico Ricca. 

F. Ricca (26, 85 ) 6.80 in 10 apps. 

M. Junior (21, 83). I give him a rating of 6.40  - in near 20 apps (has made 11 as a sub though). Junior has played all over the park so it was impossible to give an accurate rating for him.

Consider that he's showing extreme versatility at a young age. Plus PSV is a great club in which young players can develop (that's if your name isn't Mohammed Ihattaren). 😀

P.S. I will get to your PM later on.

Minutes will vary game by game and league position also helps a lot. Anything over 0% indicates likely riser, higher the better/safer. Negative percentages don't predict a drop just less chances of a rise. The more games played the more accurate the predictions will become.

I am concentrating mainly on Younger under 89 rated players as these are more consistent risers and more profitable, Goal keepers are dealt with by SM in a completely different way, which is why I mostly also ignore Gk's 

Update for French Review:-

Sorry, A Caci should be a rise +1 to 86 - the dreaded typo strikes again! 

Mbuku. Wout Faes, M Cassama, Konan, B Dia, Sissoko, Caci should all be safe bets from todays runners.

Thanks for the Forum’s interest and support for the Spreadsheet, which is greatly appreciated, Cheers Socca 😀

Grazie for this tactic. It could help me against slightly weaker opposition who play the 4-3-3 against me, because sometimes it's tricky to overcome using just the 4-2-3-1B formation.

Not sure. I'm 60/40 in favour of him going up +1. However, first he must continue performing consistently well, much like Barella is doing at Inter... Barella is certain to go up to a 92 in the next review. 

Lorenzo Pellegrini is currently AS Roma's second best player with a rating of 7.33, with 4 goals and 5 assists to his name. He needs to help Roma return to the CL by the end of season - that should be enough to secure a 92 in my evaluation. 😀

Although I want my Milan to qualify as well. Would prefer if we didn't see Juve in the CL next season. 🙂

Not at all. If they are the same person (which is very likely) we all deserve to know. Out of courtesy people reply to "their" questions. The person possibly also replies to himself/herself. There are few moderators and devs who can possibly take some action. 

I had my suspicion when he asked Rahul to add him and gave another email add. Might have double accounts in SM as well. 

If not, then I will have to learn to ignore him and skip his 100 useless comments a day.

1. Do I really need to answer this? Sometimes I feel I would choose Lukaku over some of my friends and family!  haha

2. Of these two, I would keep only Klostermann until any of those players reaches 91, just to have you extremely covered for any necessity (if money is not a problem, of course). Also, although I like him, Kumbulla hasn't been able to break through this season so far, and if the trend continues you might think about selling him, instead.

Thanks for asking my opinion!

Klostermann is only an option to sell because he is in level 1 concern and I like giving youngsters chances. 

Big chance I'll go next season (season is 37 games far) with..

DRC 

- Dayot Upamecano 

- Jules Kounde 

DC 

- Mathijs De Ligt 

- Alessandro Bastoni (x)

DLC

- David Alaba 

- Alessandro Bastoni (x)

 

Fofana and Tapsoba as DC in the first squad and will get 10 - 15 games, but comes after those 5 central defender. Tapsoba is experienced to play at the left side as central defender. Most of the time it's good to chose as most central defender who also can play as DM and so is Fofana. Kounde is my first back-up for Upamecano. 

Klostermann plays sometimes when De Ligt and Alaba/Bastoni/Upamecano doesn't play (injury or suspension) but sometimes I go for Kounde (17 times), Araujo (2 times), Kossounou (2 times), Gvardiol (1 time), Kumbulla (1 time), Rensch (1 time as sub) and McKenzie (4 times). That in total of 50 games.. 

That's why Klostermann is in level 1 and I have the doubt to keep him. Selling Kumbulla is probably a good idea.

No, money isn't a problem. The same as with you

Some questions…

 

1.      Romelu Lukaku or Roberto Firmino ? I must choose fairly even though I am Milanista1. Romelu Lukaku is the safest option because he does more for Merda than Firmino does for Pool. He could even reach the same rating as Firmino, and is also younger than Firmino and (overall) a more impactful player for his team. 

 

2.      If you have Dayot Upamecano, Mathijs De Ligt, Wesley Fofana, Jules Koundé, Alessandro Bastoni and David Alaba plus some youngsters coming through as Ronald Araujo, Odilon Kossounou, Marash Kumbulla, Roger Ibanez, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Edmond Tapsoba and Jhon Lucumi is it worth keeping Lukas Klostermann and Gabriel Magalhaes ? Not really. 

I would definitely think about selling the CB's in bold in the next season - or (some of them) before then.  

Klostermann is a "General defensor", his versatility is a very good reason to keep him. Plus he is still only 24! Rated 91. Having said that, you've got Alaba as well. Yet he can be used as a left wing back as well. No harm in having two versatile defensors. 

I presume these players are all the players you would be playing in your CB positions of your back 3?.

Out of interest who are your first team to you have any more first team wing backs? 

I'm playing 3-4-2-1..

 If you reckon Tapsoba can become a 91+ defensor (someday) then I would keep him and sell Lukas Klostermann instead. Otherwise consider that atm LK looks stable at his current rating and could increase again some later season (due to club and performance consistancy. 🙂
