League Game – Fulham A

4-4-2
Line Up - David De Gea, Fábio, Jonny Evans, Phil Jones, Patrice Evra, Antonio Valencia, Ryan Giggs, Anderson, Ashley Young, Javier Hernández, Wayne Rooney
Subs Used - Park Ji-Sung, Darren Fletcher, Danny Welbeck

Two from Rooney and one from Hernández gave me a 1-3 victory. Jones also returned to help strengthen by back line. However another goal conceded from a corner so may need to look at this.

Transfer Thoughts

I am now starting to look for possible new signings. Looking at my current squad I only have 11 players (at the start of the season that were 26 years old or over so I have not got a lot of replacing to do. They are (oldest first) Ryan Giggs, Rio Ferdinand, Michael Owen, Dimitar Berbatov, Park Ji-Sung, Patrice Evra, Michael Carrick, Nemanja Vidić, Tomasz Kuszczak, Darren Fletcher and Anders Lindegaard.

The main player I am looking at and scouting a lot is Mario Götze. Even though Giggs has been awesome at the start of the season scoring and creating goals for fun, he is 37 and has maybe one last season in him after this one and I see Götze as his replacement. If Götze becomes unavailable I am also keeping tabs on Eden Hazard and Thiago Alcântara as possible targets.

Another area where I lack cover is in the Deep Lying Playmaker/Ball Winning Midfielder role so I am keeping tabs on a number of players such as Yann M'Vila, Moussa Sissoko, Javi García, Jack Rodwell, Sven Bender, Lars Bender, and Casemiro (BWM) and Luka Modrić, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Jack Wilshere, Javi Martínez, Marvin Martin, Milan Badelj, Steven Defour, João Moutinho, İlkay Gündoğan, and Markus Henriksen (DLP) Also Götze or Thiago could do the DLP role.

A striker that I am monitoring is Iker Muniain.

Also due to the fact that three of my back line are now getting on (Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidić and Patrice Evra) I do have people to take over from them such as Phil Jones, Jonny Evans, Chris Smalling, Fábio and Rafael I do lack cover on the left hand side so I am monitoring Jordi Alba. Also I like the paring of Neven Subotić and Mats Hummels at Borussia Dortmund. So when Ferdinand does hang up his boots or moves on I will probably look at either one of them. However I do have some good prospects in the academy such as Ezekiel Fryers, Sean McGinty, Michael Keane and Tom Thorpe.

Apart from that area of the field the rest of my transfer targets are young players for the future such as Gerard Deulofeu (AMR), Alvaro Vadillo (AML), Mateo Kovacic (AMC), Juan Manuel Iturbe (AMRLC), Ross Barkley (MC), Adryan (AMC), Mbaye Niang (ST), Giuseppe Prestia (DLC) Alejandro Grimaldo García (LB), Erick Torres (ST) Enzo Zidane (AMC), Rafinha Alcântara (AMC), and Tobias Figueiredo (DC/DMC).

woooowww makes a nice reading.... Can't wait for next updates from you..

Would be nice to see top 4 league positions, games played played, goal difference etc...

Also, some suggestions on transfers:

1) Manutd dosent have a good free kick / corner taker apart from young.....that shud be priority in my view.
2) An experienced back up keeper (say Stekelenberg, wud be cheap as well)
3) Have you considered M Hamsik? Hamsik fits in really well in Manutd squad, Hazard too.
3) You can play P Jones as ball winning DM, works wonders !
4) Young targets look good but why Munian? u already have chicha as poacher types, rather go for hefty striker like Yaya Sanogo or Babacar

1)For some reason it will no-t- let -me post pictures but I will make a note of them and post it up soon.
2) At the moment I am happy with Anders Lindegaard, Tomasz Kuszczak and Ben Amos as they don't moan about non playing and someone like Stekelenberg might?
3)Forgot all about Hamšík. Will scout him over the coming months.
4) I did think of playing Jones as a DM but I plan to play him as a centre back as I believe he will succeed Vidić as a captain and as first choice defender.
5) I like Munian as a player as he can play wide and cut in or through the middle and use his pace. Also I play a counter game with quick forwards as my style does not suite a bug target man.

Transfer News – Ben Amos joined Watford for a one month Loan.

Injury News – Anders Lindegaard and De Gea both injured on international duty. Lindegaard is out for a month and De Gea for two weeks. However De Gea can have an injection to get him through the Arsenal game but it could make it worse. Decided to risk it though.

Wow, Your in deep shiz goalkeeper wise, You should recall Ben Amos.

2-3 victory. Two from Young and one from Hernández put me in a commanding 0-3 lead. A bit of a nervy ending as Arsenal scored two but my defense held out even though Nani was sent off. Also decided to let De Gea be treated.

# Atreidas : Wow, Your in deep shiz goalkeeper wise, You should recall Ben Amos.

Decided to let Amos stay at Watford as I have Tomasz Kuszczak and Sam Johnstone.

If it gets any worse get an emergency loan!
