I think letting Zarate go was a good idea. I know its fifa, but IRL, he has been a huge headache requesting to play and specific positions and when watching the last 3 or 4 West Ham games that he played, he is just out of sync with the club and every bad pass and decision he has made on the pitch has made his teammates show negative emotion which affects the mindset.

Thanks man, yeah agreed. He wants to play a specific positon IRL which even with his technical ability he just doesn't seem to show the strength for, and won't accept any other roles. Conversely, in my career obviously it's pretty easy to make someone play out of position haha but he was so inconsistent throughout the season that I don't think losing him will hurt us too much, as he was basically a second choice player both at ST and CAM.

Re: *The FIFA 15 Manager Mode Thread*

Yeah, essentially swapping Song and Zarate for Delph and Oxlade-Chamberlain is a huge win for you. Delph lacks ideal size & strength for a center mid, but he should be dynamite on the left side of your narrow diamond. I play Chamberlain all over in my Arsenal career - on either wing, as one of the two more advanced CMs in a 4-3-3, even as a box-to-box in 4-2-3-1. If he gets some space to dribble, watch out.

Hey I'm starting my first Manager Mode with Liverpool. I'm currently still in the transfer window so if you could give me any suggestions about who to sign that would help out a lot.

I would move Gerrard to the CDM because he doesn't have the pace to play on the right side. And then look for a decent RM.

Okay I was going to sign a new CDM and get rid of Leiva and I was going to play Gerrard in the backup CDM. Do you have any suggestions of a cheap RM?

You could go with the guy that Liverpool actually wanted IRL, Xherdan Shaqiri. I read on sofifa he is like 10-11 euros, so he would probably be around 13-14. And actually Markovic has an 85 potential

Definitely. I've only played one game, and Chamberlain is already turning into one of my favorite players. That is definitely one of the great things about him is his versatility... in the first game below I play him as part of the diamond alongside Delph with Noble and the base and Downing as the CAM, but if I switch to a 4-2-3-1 he can play on the right wing, and honestly could play CAM if I need him to as well. Fantastic player.

West Ham United - Episode #32: We Start on Home Ground

In this episode, we bring in our fourth signing of the transfer window, and start the domestic campaign off with a home Premier League fixture against Newcastle.

Some good fixtures in these two episodes. Really need to get into some form to meet our midtable expectations. It seems like the board always expects probably a tier above or below what you really should be accomplishing. I'd say the quality on this team is more equivalent to a team that'll be fighting relegation. I know Granada is doing very poor in real life right now. There is a lot of youth on this team that has the potential to grow though. What will help me is I have no expectations in the Spanish Cup basically. They just expect me to be in the Round of 32 which I'm in automatically. So a win against Eibar in the cup will put us above those expectations and maybe give us some leeway if we see ourselves in a relegation battle. Really enjoying this career mode either way. Might start one with a lower league side as well. I have a pretty easy semester, I'm in the final semester at CC where I basically just needed to take a class here or there to transfer. So I'll be looking to post and play more FIFA than I did last semester which was pretty grueling with all the classes I had to take so I could be able to go into my major.

Jese Rodriguez from Real Madrid, He is a left mid but 4 star weak foot and 4 star skills, pacey and has done wonderful for me! I have been a huge fan of his IRL from his very first madrid first team appearance...Btw, you will only have Gerrard for one year, he will prob retire after that so I would use him. He is a liverpool legend and his free kick gols from 30 and in for me saved me many times!! Use him!! He is your FK, PK specialist and his passes are smooth like butter!

Not sure about their prices, but Mohamed Salah, Joel Campbell, and Adrian Centurion are quality.

Two matches here in this episode against Getafe, who is level on points with us in the league and struggling Cordoba. A huge chance to improve our position in the table and we also enter the winter transfer window. As a cash strapped club we may be aiming more towards the future with our signings and searching for players we can bring in on free transfers.

Both legs of our Copa Del Rey tie with Real Betis. The team features some quality players on their side that will certainly make moving on the quarterfinals a tough task. We also continue to delve into transfer business in this one.

Re: *The FIFA 15 Manager Mode Thread*

Does anyone know if you start a player career mode do you get a 15 year career then can retire and start a 15 year manager career ?

Thanks

Kevin Kampl is a great RM from RB Salzburg, 10 million euros or so, good pace and dribbling. Went to Dortmund in real life.

Good stuff with the wickham purchase, and I watched that replay too yesterday. Im not a big fan of Adrian yapping to the opponents during pks. I started rooting against westham on PKs when he did that. I think its classless. But it was a phenominal match. Watching mid table teams are always exciting. Watching any european soccer is always great....prob the reason i wake at 5 every sat and sunday and watch 15 matches from bpl/serie a/la liga/bundesliga!
