After Stoke game, he might be done. Or after Chelsea game, he might be done. Dont expect to see LvG next year coaching United. And next year, I mean january already.
Team spirit is probably very low. They need a new manager, who could bring 99% back and winning games again Norwich should be much easyer, even on SuperStar.

Well, at the given time... I would say yes and no. If they wait till the summer, Pep Guardiola is the option, but he might be as well in word agreement with City. There is Diego Simeone, who, in my humble opinion, would be the best choice, but it will be really hard to convince him to leave his home and the team he has built in Madrid + I dont think United board are going towards that course... Given the past, I would say they either appoint Giggsy as a temporary manager or get Mourinho right here and right now, which would be shocking on many levels, but might work at some point. I can understand why United fans want radical, drastic changes, I checked the surveys, I read opinions, listened what fans had to say after the game and its mostly one direction - LvG has to go. And the reason why I understand them is that I cant remember a game that was 100 % convincing. Its either a lucky goal, either a very boring game, draw or lose. Well, maybe that away game against Everton was nice, but apart from that... Nothing has changed pretty much. They can control the ball, can defend, but they cant attack and the game is static. Thats why the change... And thats why even Mourinho would be welcomed with open hands at this moment, despite his recent slump with Chelsea.
Sorry for the offtopic.

Well Ceballos isn't exactly slow (mid 80s pace), plus I rotate all the time. I only use Malcolm on the right if no-one else is in form or fully fit, I mainly use him as Anderson's stand-in.
I mainly play Ceballos at RM or RB. He's around 77/78 ovr at RB, so provides good cover for Widmer. I play him in the more advanced CM position sometimes, depending on form/fitness.

Well, I signed Ntcham as a poor man's Pogba. But after a development boost, you can now call Pogba the poor man's Ntcham. Now 90 ovr, guy is an absolute beast. I'll have to post pics at some point.
I didn't realise that (in real life) he's actually a Man City player, on loan to Genoa! Oh, and in PES he goes by 'J. NTCHAM' (first name Jules), but in real life he uses his middle name, Oliver..... so I guess I'll have to change that at some point.

Couple of seasons, I think he was around 82/83 when he first joined.
Hi, I see you developed quite a thread here.
After frustration with Pes 2016 caused by poor goalkeepers I wasnt going to start ML, as I did year before (I have played like 5 seasons with PSG turning them into new "Galacticos", but it became boring, enough said Ligue 1 isnt very hard.)
But I remember how much my skill improved after this campaign, and since good competition online is hard to find I decided to give ML second chance. With the update goalkeepers improved, so I installed a patch and started new season with Brighton & Hove Albion.
First month was pretty hard, mostly draws. Now with second month I decided to change my tactics a little, I set Frontline Pressure, and everything changed, but I doubt that it has anything to do with tactics. My team spirit is higher now, (almost 80) while teams I play against have team spirit around 65. Is that going to change as season proceeds? I mean it ridiculously easy, I win the ball back, right after I lose it.
Another thing is my goalkeeper, he is around 70 rated, and I dont think he ever saved a single shot, is it normal for this game, and I should invest in better one?
Gameplay itself is fun, but building a team from scraps should take longer than one month, I feel like with this team I could play in Champions League. I got a game with Man United in F.A. Cup coming up, so I will see how challenging can it be.
Transfers are just stupid but it was always that way. Xavi plays now for Bayern, and Pirlo for Atletico.
For now I signed Mesbah left back, and Mastour, he did good as a substitute in my previous ML, so now I might build a team around him.
I play on Top Player - Superstar isnt an option for me, 12 minutes matches - propably gonna change it, if scores wont change.

So after few more games it seems that AI has 2 main tactics.
First one is more irritating. Players square the ball in their own half, trying to make me push forward, and create spaces for them. They dont play one long pass through the whole game, even if they are under pressure in their penalty box.
Second is long passes over the top, not really threatning, if they dont have high rated players.
But this second way is how Man Utd. got me. Its not like they were better, even with players like Schweinsteiger, its easy to win the ball.
For stats fans - I had 55% ball posession (with teams in my league i often got like 40%, but only if they play posession game).
They had 5 shots, 4 on target - if you play ML you know how many of them they scored. I had 14 shots, 4 on target. Now, most of these shots were fired from the box, but somehow always just off target. I scored 2 goals.
Fist goal for them was the best, really showed what this years PES is about. As my defender was clearing, Depay pushed him in some weird robotic way, ball went to Martial and he scored.
Now the funny part. Around 90th minute scoreline was 4:1, and I was certain I have lost. What AI did? Frist Depay, than Schweinsteiger, went to corner flag, and began to shield the ball.
I can take a joke KONAMI, nicely done.
In Pes 2015 Goalkeeper saved my ass couple of times, in this game I would have to have Neuer with red arrow, I saw that before, Neuer in form can really save.

Ridiculous scripting in action in my master league. I decided to record it.

I'm playing Liverpool against the bogey team Chelsea.
After taking the lead, Chelsea goes on a scripted mode. Eden Hazard goes crazy and does unstoppable goofy moves multiple times during this period as seen in the video.
I manage to weather the storm. And once I regain a bit more control, that's when the AI goes into extreme aggression and starts making lots of dangerous sliding tackles that will injure at least one of my guys.

Aye, the first real problems i've had since the new patch have both came away at PSV, they're one of my assigned 'rivals' so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
But in the title decider on the final game of the season I was halfway inside their half, Zivkovic makes a run into the left channel, I go to play him in and my player decides cut it back to the halfway line, they play a ball over the top, 3-1, title bid over.
Played PSV again, second game of the season, went to pass the ball, easy pass, to the left, my player pulls it back, again to the halfway line, straight to their player, I knew straight away what was going to happen, tried to foul the player but he runs into the box, cuts if back, 2-1 in the 94th minute.
PSV players are ridiculously good as well, high intesnsity pressing ALL game, players with pretty average stats playing like Pogba and Messi, so annoying.

Started a ML with a created team that i made, first time on ml this year. Does anyone know the money that you make at the end of the season if you win the league (championship) and cup(fa cup). Currently got 5 mil in the bank with 11 mil wages to minus in the next year. Still only in november so got plenty of home games to play, not really wanting to sell anyone just yet!

[MENTION=227592]AndyFlanny91[/MENTION] For both those combined you should get ~2.7 M pounds. I wouldn't worry much though, the sponsorships get improved for the next season as well. You might not have much spare cash left but you should avoid going under with current circumstances continuing.
