Olympique Lyonnais...
Once flying the flag for French football with 7 Ligue 1 wins in a row, they now struggle to compete with the financial prowess of PSG and AS Monaco. With the last Ligue 1 victory in 2008 and the last two trophies won in 2012 (Coupe de France & Trophée des Champions), Olympique Lyonnais now find themselves slipping down and under in terms of the best team in French Football.
Yoan Gourcuff:
He was once one of the best prospects of French football however, upon moving to Olympique Lyonnais his career has had somewhat of a downfall with injuries. Still rated very highly.
Alexandre Lacazette:
Still young and yet to reach his full potential, I believe he will be essential to this team playing on the right wing. Good pace and finishing ability.
Samuel Umtiti:
Still young but he will definitely be playing first team football (if we can manage to keep hold of him).
Yassine Benzia:
The next Karim Benzema? Dribbling and First Touch attributes are already good and with him being the only first team striker available as things stand, he will definitely be getting first team football.

This is going to be a tough season to finish third as Lille & Marseille are predicted to finish above us. Also, we have a transfer budget of £0. We will need to rely on the players we already have or try to raise funds through transfers...Season Objectives:
