#42535 Ory1997 : If you wanted a better midfield you shouldn't have bought Fernandinho, Darren Fletcher is better than him in overall and purpose, he can win balls for you. You already have Hazard and Hamsick in the center if Im not mistaken.

Nah i dont have Hamsik, and presently Fletcher is worth £18mil and so i thought i would cash in while hes still worth so much. And Fernandinho came cheap so thought it was worth it.

#42585 nakulp : Hey how can i develop these two players to become superstars....any advice?




play them in carling cup matches and fa cup matches ^^ and make sure you have good youth coaches then they should be awesome :) orrr loan them out to clubs which is good experience and who will play them
Ok for the striker the solution is simple; you should retain him in the club and tutor him and play him through out the season, however if you have 4 or more strikers ahead of him I suggest you loan him to a top club,one which is in the top league in England, Spain, Italy, Germany or France, also make sure they have top training facilities. If you retain him you should increase his strength and speed, for some reason I find that strikers that are highly skilled but slow or/and physically weak play worse than low skilled strikers that are very fast and strong, if you looked at my "Future England and Manchester United stars" story you would see that I'm correct. For him I suggest you have two tutors, one who has good mentality and technique the other one should be an overall. I would tip him as an Italian star if I knew any who matches his attribute shape.

Your midfielder on the other hand is a more difficult case, he's one of those people trapped in the 50/50 area. Personally I would loan him, however again the club he goes to must be in a top league, they must have a top training facility too and I suggest that the players of that club has worse players than the midfielder e.g. in my brothers game he got Crewe in npower League 1, their players are shit compared to Leeds players but their training facilities are of top class, my brother plans to send some of his youngsters there as they practcally out class a lot of the Crewe players. However if you retain him make sure you have at least 2 tutors so that you can tutor him back to back. Right now you should focus on his attack and technique attributes, creativity will come eventually or randomly. Next is his strength and speed, I suggest you have three types of tutors, one who has good attack and technique attributes, one overall and one who has good mentality and creativity, I don't think physical attribute can be improved by tutor so if you want him to develope on that put high personal training. I tip him as the next Cesc Fabregas.

Keep in mind that you should try to balance training with mathces, it's just a theory right now but the more you play your youngsters, the more they develop mental stats and least likely creativity stats too, I think this is a very important factor in their development as mental and creativity is really hard to develop one a player is above 24, it might also deteriote when the players are injured.

For the tutors also look at his style of play e.g. dictates play, cuts inside and curls balls. Some players with the right stats but wrong style of play can be very ineffective and might cause you a game. For you striker I suggest that one of them should be that he beats his opponents, aims for the corner and smash the ball into the goal. For the midfielder he should do dictate the tempo, do simple passes or long balls (depending of oyur style of play)and beats the oppoent, if you manage to get deffensive attributes up (marking and tackling) I suggest he tackles hard and marks opponents tightly.

In the end the way they develop is partly from the way you train them but mostly from their own will (it makes sends because it's really up to the player how much he wants to improve).

Good luck on you team, your youngsters and yourself. If anyone has advices for ypoungste development feel free to post it in my story(it's not really a story): "Future England and Manchester United stars" the team you manage does not have to be Manchester United or English, just come with anything and we can share our knowledge with each other.

Credit to the people who helped me in this game, especially Godman, Stam and Walsall_Craig, there are many others but I've forgotten their names. Please if you feel that you've contributed to my knowledge just speak up and remind me.

English Premier Division - 22 May 2013

Man Utd vs Sunderland (Home)

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Starting Line-up:
Lindegaard(GK)
Vrsaljko(WB) Evans(CD) Smalling(CD) Fabio(WB)
Felipe Anderson (AP) Asamoah (CM)
Valnecia (W) Cleverly(AM) Nani(IF)
Welbeck (CF)

Subs Used: Hernandez, Rooney, Anderson

FT: 0-0

MOTM: Craig Gordon (9.3)
Top performers: Felipe Anderson (7.7), Vrsaljko (7.5)





We were all over Sunderland, and our football was truly irresistible, but we couldnt score. Gordon had wonderful game in goal, and we just couldnt get past him! It was a good game to watch, as Man Utd were brilliant, but the finishing was extremely poor!!
You know I would appreciate it if you give me some kind of indication whether you read my last post or not, I put a lot of work into it.
English Premier Division - 26 May 2013

Man Utd vs Arsenal(Home)

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Starting Line-up:
De Gea(GK)
Radael(WB) Jones(CD) Vidic(CD) Fabio(WB)
Gotze (W) Anderson(AP) Fletcher (CM) Hazard(W)
Rooney(AF) Welbeck(CF)

Subs Used: Cavani, Smalling, Nani

FT: 1-1 Gervinho (45+2), Anderson (57)

MOTM: Gernvinho (7.8)
Top performers: Anderson (7.7)





Ahh poor match! De Gea was terrible in goal, and the team wasnt quite performing up to scratch today. I know it doesnt really matter because we have already won the Premier League, but performance does matter to me, and i wasnt impressed today!

Lol i did mate. I thanked you :), but i will do it again...THANKS!! I have tutored the two players, and some other amazing youngsters i have signed. I am debating whether to sell Welbeck and promote Romagnoli to the first team! Im not sure though. What do you think? Sell Welbeck?
I think Welbeck shold be sold, I don't know why but after previous efforts in other games and other people's efforts Welbeck never seem to be world class, but I think in FM13 his stats will be much improved by the gam creators, just a thought.
