You know, I keep saying to my brother-in-law that ten Hag should switch the wingers round, and stop this inverted nonsense, especially with the players we have (such as Antony).
I know it's the fashion to have the wingers cutting in, but if you keep doing it and getting the same non-result, shouldn't you try something different?
Your experiences with him show how right that aproach could be, even if it is just in a console game 🙂
Haha, yes as I wrote in another thread, I could actually see him being useful in the left, though perhaps not as great as he's been so far in this save. But on the right wing, no. He does have a great shot to the far corner, once he comes in from the right, I'll give him that. But after a few early successes, he's been read by every defence since, and his success rate has fallen drastically, even though he still tries to make these near impossible shots. I don't expect he would become world class on the left or anything, or live of to his gigantic price tag. But I could definitely see improvements to his game with such a change.
In regards to other wingers in the team, I was reluctant to see Garnacho in the right side. I saw him as a true left winger, who was often lethal, when cutting in from the left. But the last few games with him on the right wing (IRL) has convinced me that he should play in the right from now on. Which has otherwise been a problem position for years.

I agree about Garnacho. I think he's been far more effective on the right.
Makes it difficult to see how Antony fits in, then, because Rashford has to play on the left.
As for strikers, I think it's time that ten Hag gave Joe Hughill a chance. He's around the same age as Hojlund (so mature enough) and has been scoring quite a few in the academy matches. He deserves a chance. Like I said, try something different...
Unfortunately, he's not in the United squad in the game, as I'd have liked to try him - at least, he wasn't when I started my United save.
On the subject of Hojlund, I don't know what your experience of him has been in your career save so far, but in my United save he's not that good. He seems to lose the ball too easily and his shooting (mine, to some extent, I suppose!) isn't that accurate, either. He's another IRL that United paid well over the odds for, in my opinion.

I think he'll improve IRL, and I also think he's played better than his goal contributions suggest. But 89 potential, that's too much IMO. So I'm trying to play him as little as possible in the first season, in order for his potential to perhaps drop a bit and be more realistic in the seasons to come.
