Anyone got any decent players from the Spanish League they're willing to get shut of?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Whats his overall stat? Don't think I've got anyone from the Bundesliga so couldnt help there..
The CPU can predict all your tackles, and starts dodging them before your player has even started the action. I just checked this on a replay.
So can Messi.
I bet Kevin De Bruyne from Genk can't though.
To be fair though, you can anticipate a lot of stuff when playing against someone, so in one way, its realistic.
Any tips on how to get out of a rut where I'm just playing a game then struggling my arse off to pay to heal players (at least one injury every game BTW?), renew their contracts or sort their fitness out?
I don't have a big enough/decent enough squad to keep rotating and don't have enough coins to buy more because of the other bloody cards I need to buy.

Been modding the PC version, sadly Xfire's jpegs make them look shite
Also, been working on my version of the 1999 champions league kit
For me anyone who plays on different control mode than manual is not a real player.
try it on manual. so much more fun when you score.

Manual is a lot better. The game on assisted just becomes boring and repetitive, on manual you actually need to do a lot more and therefore get a bit more involved in a game than you otherwise would. When you score it is very satisfying, especially a good goal because its effectively your own work
I love manual shooting - don't understand why anybody plays without it. You can score some sensational goals that you wouldn't have a chance of scoring if you played semi/assisted. Granted, you might miss a few more 1 on 1s than normal, but it's so much more fun.
I think i am cheating some how. I was drawing 1-1 and around the 70th minute i got a black screen for a minute, i came back and there players kept doing kick ups, standing still or just launching the ball to me. I won 2-1 because i scored before i knew what was going on. I clicked on his profile and it said he was winning 3-1 against me but my leaderboard said i was still on my win streak. It's done it a few times now and people are sending me messages about cheating. Stupid game.
I love manual online. I'm 10th in the UK leaderboards and like 190th overall.
The only thing that frustrates me, is that even the top manual players can resort to cheap tactics when they're losing and searching for a goal, such as pressure abusing, hacking you down on the counter, etc. Most players are generally better to play against than assisted players and when you play a lot you start to see familiar names which creates a sense of a community.
It's the most realistic form of playing the game atm. The obvious downside is the lack of player personality, i.e you can pick the same pass with Liam Miller than you could with Xavi.

J Lloyd Samuel just did a 360 skill past me, then shimmied the ball round another, then played a stunning through ball to Elmander.
You on PS3?
Kevin Davies just did one too, I don't think he even does them in his back garden, let alone on the pitch.
Yes. joe_thered if you want a game.
OK will do. I'm speeches123, thats for anyone else who wants to play a manual game on PS3 too.
I warn you, I'm not good but hopefully can put up a challenge
I've added you. You up for a game now? I've got until 9 so I could squeeze a game in.
Unfortunately not free for one now as I've got to go out for bit in about 10 mins. Tomorrow I should be free though or maybe even later tonight
de Gea has just won me a shoot out on head to head despite me missing my first 2 penalty's, crazy game 5-5 but i won with some goalkeeping heroics.
Pressure abusing?
It's very easy in the game to hold down X or A on the 360 to tackle your opponent. Players never get tired or have fatigue so it's exploited throughout the whole game with constant pressure whenever you're on the ball. It should be easier to counter but it's far too effective on the game and easy to do.
Makes it worse on manual, as it takes longer to power up passes so the defenders are on to you quicker making the game a bit shit.

Is anyone going to give this a go? I like the idea of making money from the game but not entirely sure I can trust most players, especially with money involved.

Which of you Xbox fannies want a hidin?
Sorry for not seeing this earlier, but I've been playing in Virgin for 3-4 weeks now I guess.
Its okay... I first put in 20 dollars, actually rose to 40, beating players who were better than me along the way, but have now dipped back into the 20s.
Here's the thing, whilst I've only come across one player who I felt was cheating (I played Man Utd x Man Utd, his Rio beat my Wazza to a through ball when Wazza had a head start and full stamina, and at 70 mins his midfielders had barely lost any stamina), most players play the most pragmatic game possible. That means either Chelsea or Madrid usually, and a 5-2-1-2 formation. It makes attacking very complicated, sometimes I'll have 60% possession but only 5 shots on goal in a match.
Also, when they're attacking they'll exploit every FIFA glitch there is. Its lofted through balls all the time, followed by crosses to the far post. I've lost count of how many times I've dominated, and yet lost to a classic FIFA 11 goal or two.
I know you play really well Wayne_Rooney, you could probably actually make some change playing at Virgin Gaming, but be ready to play some ugly FIFA. Its not the purist, all-manual FIFA I know you like.
If you do decide to give it a go, let me know.
Cheers.
If anyone still wants a manual game add me then. Im on ps3. FransThePlaya is my nick.
Im 170th online overall actually.

Good games then lads.
I do have 1 point to make though..... The defenders are fecking oafs!!!

If we had a few defenders it would be class. Got better as some players left though because there was more room and people stuck to positions.
If I go as ANY next time I reckon I'll convert my Pro to a centre half so there'll be at least 1 semi-competent player in the back 4. I daren't pass it out from the keeper to the defenders as they are because it takes them a solid 5 seconds to just control it and turn.
It's so wierd playing as ANY. I actually feel under pressure!!
I could do with digging me mic out too....
You guys still playing clubs? Not played it in a while, just sat in my drawer.
Are you guys playing another? I'd be up to join you guys
Aye. On XBox Zarlak.
Oh.... XBox.....
Who on here plays Ultimate Team on PS3? My Serie A team are brilliant, saving up for an IF Sanchez or Krasic... probably Sanchez
Craic AFC on ps3 clubs lads, its basically redcafe and one other guy
I'm available all day today if anyone fancies any games of Clubs or otherwise.
I could get on just before one probably.
