Fucking hell, that's the first 10.0 i've seen in years. My United team have gone nuts, just smashed Juventus 7-1 as well.

Then we go and lose 1-0 to 16th place Newcastle. Standard.

Spurs have just sold Kane to Liverpool for £58m plus £20m add ons, they rejected £130m when I was trying to buy him. Dicks.

Similar sort of thing happened to me. I was at Liverpool and had tried Kane for months, going as high as £140m and rejected every time, so bought Icardi for £98m (his release fee). That summer I move to Bayern and see that United have signed him for £67m and also sold Pogba to PSG for £100m when I’d just bid £110m for him.

I've just done the same bought Icardi for £75m instead, I got him cheaper because he was listed. I'm also finding it awkward to loan and sell players at times, I offered Lingard and a few other players out on loan for 0% wages and no one was interested.

This game is nuts at times, just scraped a last minute draw against Newcastle and then the next game beat Man City 8-2.

Wasn't enjoying Bayern so went back to a backed up Liverpool save and decided to gut the squad of the existing leadership group and reform it. Brexit ended up leaving me with a '17 foreign players' rule which is essentially just a re-wording of the current system. So what I've ended up doing is bringing in Kane (£64m) and Asensio (£80m) to bring more goals and to add more creativity to the midfield. Leaving are Henderson (Spurs, £23-28.5m), Lallana (Palace, £12.5m), Grujic (Leicester, £15-19.5m), Can (Bayern, £67-86m), Ward (Bournemouth, £2.1-2.6m) and now Mane (Real Madrid, £75-96m). Funnily enough, I wanted to get rid of Salah more than anything because I just don't have room for him and really wanted to operate with out and out wingers supporting Icardi and Kane, but nobody is interested in him so I've re-jigged my formation to omit wingers. Essentially I'm reliant on contributions from my full backs and the midfield working to create. Oblak TAA - Gomez - Van Dijk - Roberton
Asensio - Arthur - Keita Firmino
Icardi - Kane Depth outside of that really isn't great. Relying on my youth a bit if any injuries come up.

I've just finished my third season at United, won the league comfortably for the second season runninng I lost 3-1 to Spurs in the FA Cup final after being 1-0 up for 75 minutes and lost to Barcelona in the champions league final on penalties. That's two seasons running i've lost in the final. Gelson Martins, Martial and Icardi were my best players Not bad to say he missed 3 months due to injury. This is probably my strongest team De Gea Weiser Caldara Lindelof Kurzawa Goretzka Pogba Martins Mata Martial Icardi
This is the rest of my squad but a few need to be sold/loaned out Rajkovic Mangana Bailly Tah Shaw Fosu-Mensah Valverde A Gomes Ceballos Lo Celso Lingard Bernardeschi D Suarez Sane Rashford Lukaku Dembele Werner

Fucking hell that's some depth! And fucking hell that's a perfect meme.
Needed to bolster my options a bit and stockpile more homegrown talent so I've brought in Clyne (Barca, £12.75m) and Chambers (Arsenal, £5.5m). So in addition to the lineup I put in that post I've got:
Cillessen Woodburn Alderweireld Cresswell Wijnaldum Maresic Millar (youth) Jones (youth) Clyne Solanke Salah Hall (youth) Pike (youth) Lane (youth) Lopez Kent Ojo Wilson
Most importantly though, I've brought Rodolfo Borrell back in as head of youth, because I really want more technically gifted players coming through my academy, and his time with Barca, City and Liverpool in the past, as well as his complete knowledge of Spain and England will benefit me getting better prospects.

Yeah i've got far too many players in some positions and not enough in others, RB and CAM still need improvements and I haven't got enough home grown players. I always look for bargains in the transfer market and players I can hopefully sell on for profit, i've just signed Valverde for £6m, Lo Celso for £2.6m. I bought Sane for £36m in January with the intent of using him in rotation with Martial but he's been shite so far so I might try to sell him before the next season starts. I've just signed Werner on a free as well and plan on maybe moving Lukaku on.

How the fuck have you got Lo Celso for £2.6m you demon?
Sane was very top of my list. Now I dunno. Since that last post I've added Ceballos for more depth in midfield. I've just seen Lo Celso has gone to Burnley on mine, for £4.8m. I'm shook.

Lo Celso was in the reserves and transfer listed at PSG. I'm just about to loan Ceballos out back to Madrid, I signed him for £19m last season but can't find room for him at the minute.

Fixture list hasn't been overly friendly to me here. Home games against Huddersfield and Leicester have a trip to Old Trafford and the Emirates either side of them. Considering Arsenal are easily the best team in the league and have just added Belotti, I'm a bit nervous about that one.
Kane and Icardi linking up well early on though, Icardi scoring one and providing the assist for one of Kane's two against Huddersfield. I feel like most games this season will be shootouts because I'm not really focusing on the defence at all.

Injuries and a lack of left sided attackers has left me with this abomination of a formation that I'll be trying for the first time from the start in my next game. I've changed to it in games I'm winning just to get some familiarity.
