Out of all the holding midfielders in the world, why Fellaini?

[alilane4]

Good start, is this an old FM?

Lindegaard & Jones.

So I doubt it.

[alilane4]

It says 2010/2011 which is surely the start date for FM11?

Also a few db changes aren't too hard to do.

Edit: Just noticed the little 'i' besides players /o\

Someone with Premier League experience who is good enough to walk straight into my squad with my budget. Adds brilliant aerial ability to the midfield which we lacked and stabilises my attacking formation.

Definitely needs to improve on his goalscoring though. Plenty of times I noticed him shooting from distance and wasting possession.

No, 2012.

Got the dates wrong.

[Jackk!]

Fellaini is a wanker.

7 cards in 3 seasons.

He's got 2 in 3 months for me now! Cost me 2 matches.

[Ricky]

A yellow card every 3 games and 1 red all season.

Increasing attributes and increasing value, plus;



Dominant.

[Jackk!]

Do you play him as an Anchorman?

[Ricky]

Ball winning central midfielder with the defend duty.

My 4-2-4 formation is probably the reason we conceded so many goals last season.

Anchorman, defend.

4-4-2 diamond w/ wingers.



He's considerably better at passing etc. for you.

Might place him in a CM role as a ball-winning midfielder and see how he performs. Gives me freedom to push my wingers a little further up and if Senkumba is injured/dropped I can drop the CAM to CM.

Pretty decent in the air though.

I'm guessing you've tried to get rid of his PPP "gets forward whenever possible"?

Wasn't there when he came to Juve.

Does however have "Does not dive into tackles" - yet has been sent off twice for vicious two footed tackles?

I love that you play Fletcher so much.

He's so consistent.

He's brilliant.

After the 4-1 win against Barcelona it said 'Bossed the midfield' Made me proud.

You need to drop Berb and give Welbeck more starts.
