You're being too ambitious. You need to be looking at players with overall in about the early 70's. Try going for loan signings.

That's weird, i was in D2 and i bought piatti and alexis sanchez and perin. Anyway, if they don't come to your team, add players to your scout list, even if they are in the low 70's or 60's and if they have a great growth curve. buy them and they will improve. Try not to buy players that peak early though as they will reach their peak early and detoriate. Also, if that doesn't help, buy players from your youth, there is always one star player there and they might improve to one of the best players - i bought shimizu and palmieri from my youth team and shimizu was 109 (really!) at age 22 and palmieri was 106 at age 25 which is why i usee my youth when i find it hard to buy players.
Also a tip is that on the transfer window, search for players that are in transfer lists or players that put renewal talks in hold, this makes it very easy to buy players for a reasonable price, also you can buy players that have no clubs.
Hope this helps you

Of the default ML players this year my favourite has to be Ordaz. His stats aren't great but he just always seems to score goals.

Then if you include the youth players obviously Palmieri and Shimzu deserve a mention.

I'm playing my mater league on top player and trying to go through it with just the default players and promoted youth team players. I'm half way through my third season top of the league and in the last 16 of the champions league. Love it!

I started with brescia, Serie A (italian) and i am now in season 2012-2013.
Last season i ended 5th, was knocked out of the cup in the quarter finals, and was knocked out in the group phase of the europe league.

here is my formation:

[S-D-P]

Coming towards my 2nd season with Inter, just beat Real to lift European cup. Mevlut Erding is my top scorer with 26 in 39 games, Andrea Poli runs my midfield. Esteban Cambiasso is set to leave in the summer for pastures new, Barca won the race to sign my captain with a 24m bid.

GK - Emiliano Viviano
DR - Davide Santon
DC - Salvatore Bocchetti
DC - Andrea Ranocchia
DL - Domenico Criscito
DMC - Cambiasso/Armin Bacinovic to replace him next season
MC - Ivan Rakitic
MC - Andrea Poli
AMC - Ibrahim Afellay
CF - Mevlut Erding
CF - Gianpualo Pazzini

No bullshit mate two of the best CF's on the game, pazzini makes intelligent runs as he has fox in the box card, plays off the last defender and is a great finisher. Erding is a powerful player who also has good movement coupled with the goal poacher card, great shot technique and my top scorer this season.

Two all round great strikers, Erding's control can let him down but his technique has the potential to rise into the 80's, he is also lethal at one on ones.

26 in 39 games? Good return indeed, this on Top Player?

I admire your approach by the way, I am a purist and realist myself when it comes to this game, as sad as it is, I never sign players that I feel wouldn't move to that club and when I played as Inter I always tried to limit my foreign contingent to 4 on the pitch at any one time. Talk about taking the game too seriously :dwighthah:

 

[S-D-P]

Top player 15 minute matches, best return of goals Iv'e had from a striker. Sminky you sound like me mate, I try to have a vision and build a team with players I imagine that team would buy feels more realistic and my team has more identity.

And yes I do have a life.:lol:

EDIT;

I lied, its 26 in 43 games for erding.

I also signed viviano before Inter in real life, talk about foresight(smug)

 

[Sminky]

Impressive stuff, I forgot about the 15 minute matches, really ought to switch to that format to iron out the daft 0-0 draws during mid season.

The AI doesn't help with its pussy formations ie 2/3 holding midfielders which can lead to some truly drab games. I find 15 minute matches more relaxing whilst at the same time more challenging. The AI gets much more attacking towards the 2nd half of the season, AI tactics needs some work next year.

 

[Sminky]

I hate at the start of the season or depending on your form how the CPU lines up its teams, bizarre random formations to try and stifle you. I was Juventus and on a winning streak and played Inter who went 4-5-1 defensive, it was bizarre! Mourinho-esque in fact.

 

[S-D-P]

Can be really illogical sometimes, I have the odd instance when I take the lead and some teams switch from two holding dmf's to three! damage fucking limitation at 1-0, at the moment with 3 games to go the AI is playing attacking 4-4-2 formations so there's more space.

 

[Sminky]

One of the daftest things I've seen is when my mate played England in a World Cup, Scholes and Heskey were in the squad - I think my mate edited it - Lennon scored an unbelievable goal so they took off Rooney and brought on Scholes (!) and went 4-5-1, in the first half!

My mate equalised in the 2nd half and they took off Gerrard for Milner and went 4-4-2.

Into extra time, they bring on Heskey ... for Scholes!

England lined up with Heskey, Defoe and ... Carrick upfront! Central midfield was Wright Phillips with Milner and Lennon wide right and left.

It was so stupid.
