FM 2013 Man Utd Career

After the success of my first story (My Manchester United Story FM12 - http://www.fmscout.com/q-3624-My-Manchester-United-Story-FM12.html)which has 288,238 views and counting I will be starting a new one very soon.

GODMAN RETURNS!!!!!!! I loved your FM12 story it was amazing so I'm thrilled you will do an FM13 one

Glad to see you back after the data loss. Will you be doing your story in the same format?

Godman! You're story was like the first story I read and loved, even before I joined. I loved your story, I really hope this goes well too! Good luck!!

I must adit, I have never read your FM12 story, but I do know THAT IS A HELL OF A LOT OF VIEWS! Good luck with this one

Welcome back and good luck with the story. Shame it is with United though

Unfortunately I never read that story, as I only joined around new year this year, so I'll be looking forward to seeing why it got so many views! Hopefully it's for all the right reasons

Thanks, I did start a story but it was lost so I thought that I would try it again.

Thanks for the nice comments

First thing first I am reviewing the squad that I have available to me (I am using the latest patch update 13.3.3)

Goalkeepers –

Options - David De Gea, Anders Lindegaard, Ben Amos, Sam Johnstone

David De Gea will start as my first choice keeper as I believe he is a star in the making. He had a bit of a difficult first season in English football but I am confident he can be one of the world and united greats. Lindegaard will be the 2nd choice as he is a good sold keeper but he will want 1st team football so he will play in cup games and maybe some league games when I need to rest David. I also have two other keepers that I could call on in Amos and Johnstone but I will be looking to loan them both out so they get regular 1st team football.

De Gea is decent now and should be one of if not the best in the prem in a couple seasons time!

I joined this year fmscout, so I did not read your previous story... But I am sure it deserved all the views you had, so I will definitely be one of your new followers!

Good luck mate, will be reading

Defenders -

Options - Rafael, Marnick Vermijl, Patrice Evra, Alexander Büttner, Fábio, Tyler Blackett, Phil Jones, Rio Ferdinand, Jonny Evans, Chris Smalling, Nemanja Vidić, Michael Keane, Scott Wootton

On paper one of the strongest defences in the league but one of the main problems I have is that Jones, Evans and Smalling are all injured so I will option but to play Ferdinand and Vidić in the first couple of games and hope they don’t get injured. Otherwise I am very happy with the options available to me, I have good experienced players in Ferdinand and Vidić plus very good options to back them up with Jones, Evans and Smalling (Smalling and Jones can also cover right back as well). In the coming season as Ferdinand and Vidić are now the wrong side of 30 I will be looking towards Jones to step up and become my 1st choice centre back and maybe club captain in time. In the full back roles I have Rafael who will first choice and on the other side I have Evra and Büttner. I also have Fábio out on loan who I will use once he gets back next season plus some good young players that may feature in cup games or next year such as Keane, Vermijl, Blackett and Wootton.
