My Manchester United Story FM12

#35181 romiljain : Dude, how are Pogba and cleverly progressing ?

are they good enough as playmakers ?

I play Cleverley in three ways -

1) CM - Attacking Playmaker
2) CM - Box To Box
3) AM - Attacking Midfielder

His best results for me have come as a CM - Attacking Playmaker. He does not create many chances but he does have a lot of work in the build up.



I play Pogba in two ways -

1) CM - Ball Winning Midfielder
2) CM - Box To Box

He has performed both results well. I dnot think he has the right mental attributes to be a playmaker.

League Game – Sunderland A

4-2-3-1
Line Up - David De Gea, Rafael, Rio Ferdinand, Patrice Evra, Michael Carrick, Anderson, Antonio Valencia, Ryan Giggs, Nani, Wayne Rooney
Subs Used - Chris Smalling, Ashley Young, Javier Hernández

0-2 win with goals from Ferdinand and Carrick. On a sour note Smalling got injured and will be out for 3 months.

Top English Transfers –

I have a question for you.. How do you decide which formation will u use?? I mean, u r pretty much changing it almost every time. So I wanna know how do you do that, on what information is it based. Thx man :-)

Against the stronger teams such as Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and in Europe I will use the 4-3-2-1 formation as it allows me to control the midfield and hit team in the break using the pace of my two wingers. I would be happy with 1-0 wins all day against the big teams as this is where you lose/win titles.

As for the 4-4-2 and the 4-2-3-1 they are both very similar as I have my wingers attacking and generally play in a attacking way. Also it allows me to change the formation depending on injury/form/rotation ect or if one formation is not playing. I generally don't use the 4-2-3-1 if my opponents have a DMC as I find the DMA and AMC cancel each other out.

If anyone has anymore questions please feel free to ask.
