However, I think they are still not very willing to gamble on players which may be unknown but showing the potential of greatness. At least we have guides in the game in the form of players stats. How good they are at driblling, passing, their pace and many many more.
In all honesty, I believe this game does its very best to emulate what is real in the world. Players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Neymar, Nani etc were must haves in the game. I know I bought Ronaldo and Nani way before Manchester United did. Well of course there are duds like Braaten, Adu, Kerlon and many more. Those are the risks which someone must take but IMHO the rewards could outweigh the risks as you may find a gem and exploit them before offloading them to those rich clubs and having new and upcoming players to replace those which you have sold.
I spent every cent given to me on my first season :p , cover for positions I find lacking
Cannot resist the temptation to buy a wonderkid who turned out to be the best player for years to come, Eden Hazard. Bale and Balotelli were bought before the patch of unhappy players. Why sell 2 of my best players (Berbatov and Vidic)? I am anti slow players and anyways there are getting old. VDS was old and leaking goals so I just tried to get a good keeper in Asenjo and Bolat was just a cheap good keeper. Christian Benitez was signed to be sold off but he gave me many many goals.
Hamsik and Pastore, if I were SAF, either of them would replace Scholes. Got them just before the unhappy patch was out :D Signing (more like poaching or the term used in football, cradle snatching) potential great youngsters. Damn Barcelona also took advantage of the unhappy bug for Nani and Valencia.
Everyone said Wilshere was great so I tried him out. Signed more potentially great youngsters. Signed a wonderkid and an awesome stat right winger. Offloaded 2 redundant left sided players.
Thought Wilshere did fine and signed him, signed a couple more youngsters and a wonderkid for peanuts. Bought Busquets to have some cover for Fletcher. I only realized that the wonderkid from last season was NOT a defensive midfielder =_=" Offloaded a dud, Biscay.
Finally managed to get Pjanic, a player whom I tried to sign the season before and willing to pay 30M or more but now he was offered to me for just over half that amount :D Offloaded an average regen from my academy as I have too many players of his type but much better than him.
My players in the 2015/2016 season. I have 4 wonderkids in my current team :p
Super cheap buy and he turned out to be a wonderkid with amazing stats at the age of 16 when I signed him. Unfortunately, I have too many great players in the CM position :(
Another super cheap buy who turned out to be a wonderkid as well after just 1 season. This game is too bias and have too many left sided players for me :(
Incredible regen from my academy. He came to me as a DC but his stats are skewed to be a fine striker. He is now listed as a wonderkid
My most expensive bought wonderkid. Not sure why I thought he was a DM when his stats clearly shows that he is a creative midfielder. Since he's got great dribbling stats, I made him a right winger and he is challenging Hazard (also converted to be winger).
Not a wonderkid BUT great stats as a DM and he came to me just when Hargreaves' contract ended. Now he is in line to take over from Fletcher once his contract runs out.
This was a paid off gamble, his stats exploded when I needed a DL. As he showed his potential, it was evident that he is a great DC. Not a wonderkid but IMHO he is better than Evans :p
A regen from my academy in the year when Giggs' contract ran out. When he came, I was like OMG, Giggs' replacement. Not a wonderkid though.
A cheap wonderkid. Incredible overall stats and my assistant always picks him to be a striker of which he is not as great as being a DC.I only used 1 tactic for all 6 season and initially games were not so easily won. I tweaked the tactic a little from the original person who created it to suit my taste of counter attack and tempo. I think it worked out great because I rarely do anymore changes and can beat big teams like Barcelona and the big 5-6 in EPL. In the 2014/2015 season, I basically thrashed all teams and won the title in March. Rooney scored 50 goals and Hernandez, 40+. Mind you, they did not play every game because I always rotate my players to ensure that only the most fit players will play with the exception of important and big games but never under 97% fitness.
If SAF reads this ... I am sure it will worth every cent that we paid for De Gea and Young, they will be great players. Now to the things which I really want to convey, FUCKING buy Pjanic, Hamsik, Pastore and/or Hazard! These guys are amazing and will not be duds like Veron. Also, you are quite stupid to sell Pique and Rossi for next to nothing ... =X
Yeah well basically Im just ranting because there is no weekend football games to watch or look forward to. August can't come soon enough ... though it also means another phase in life for me.
