Breaking the Habit - A Man United rebuild
Forum Discussion
Dear board members! @CO88LER5 @Danimal5981 @thurlow885 @Stlducks4 @sonofthepitch
We would like to know your opinion on the following matter. We are looking for an English midfielder, who will be tasked with playing as a deep playmaker for us. We have identified two targets and need your help to decide which one to sign.
Any thoughts or feedback is most welcome.
@JustinCase0110did you look at patino, hackney, or wharton? i know you've narrowed it down to gallagher and gomes, though, so it's your call. if playmaking is the profile, then i'd say gomes, but if a more defensive-minded player is the aim, then gallagher.

No, I didn't look at any of those. But they all seem like great young prospects for the number 6 role.
Having just signed Miretti and Iling-Junior, this time I'm interested in a more experienced player though. But I do appreciate the suggestions, thanks.
Playmaker or defensive-minded? A bit of both, I suppose. I wanted to move Mainoo a bit forward, seeing him as a Seedorf-type. So I kind of pictured someone like Pirlo to dictate the play from the deep (using prime Milan as the metaphor). However, I also need the defensive abilities to be good enough as the anchor behind Mainoo and ESR (possible first 11).
- @JustinCase0110 i hear ya. the only other one i can think of would be ward-prowse, perhaps

- @JustinCase0110 Potentially good signing, especially compared with Gomez.
Lunin is a good piece of business.
Just wish the real United could make this kind of progress.
Yet another big upheaval this summer, I think.

Yet another big upheaval this summer, I think.Not gonna lie, the current abysmal state of the club is also what draws me to do yet another Man United save at the moment.
If things were just fine and dandy at Man United IRL, I'm sure I would spend my FIFA-hours differently.

Good start to the PL, especially nicking a win against Arsenal.
Interesting that the Champions League have pitted United against Copenhagen again, after this season's disaster against them in real life...I wonder if you'll be up against Lautaro Martinez at Inter? If so, you'll have to be sharp, defensively.
Nice to see Gallagher doing well; a better choice than Gomez would have been I reckon.

I also have a few players, whom I need to sub early in most games to keep them fresh. But Gallagher seems like he can play 90 minutes each time, truly a great trait for a midfielder.

It's beginning to look as if you're peaking earlier in this save than you normally do.
Quite the start and it's difficult to see at this point where the stumble might come from. You now have a very good squad.

But winning every league game so far + winning the next vs Spurs too, things are beginning to become a bit too easy here. And a bit sooner than I hoped for. I never really enjoy the game, when I just win every game. Well, in Scotland it was okay, I guess, because it was also expected. But I'm kind of losing the edge with this one.
I have an idea for a new save, which I might start up some time in the weekend.
