Great teams you sure you didnt cheat becuase how did you get all that money thats rather unbellievable to be honest
No, it's completely legit. I'll post the pics of the detailed transfer history of each season. Not only did I not cheat, but I actually made some mistakes due to not planning stuff in advance. There were a lot of players (de Jong, Hart, Bridge, Santa-Cruz, Wright-Phillips, Jo, Michael Johnson etc) who ended up being out of favor in terms of playing time but I let them go for free in the end because they wouldn't sign new deals and/or I couldn't get any half decent offer for them after not playing them for a while. I could've planned it better and sold those players before the time at which I didnt play them. They would've been worth a lot more. Some of them (de Jong, Hart, Wright-Phillips) I did actually play a lot to begin with, but I really should've sold Bridge, Santa-Cruz, Johnson, and Jo at the very beginning, as I never used them. If I hadn't made those sorts of mistakes, I probably could've ended up with like 10-20 million pounds more to spend.

I included the last year of my transfer history. I bought Messi, Rodwell, and Babacar. Here's the reasoning behind each:
Messi is really the only way to upgrade my squad, and I'm trying to make the best squad possible. I'm going to put him at AMR to begin with (and try to loan out Balotelli for a year or two to make room for Messi at that position). However, Tevez is now 30 so I assume he will start going downhill after a year or two. At that point, I will bring Balotelli back and then I have a choice. I can replace Tevez at poacher with either Balotelli or Messi and whichever one I don't choose will go back to his AMR role. In this way, getting Messi is actually a means of eventually replacing Tevez while simultaneously upgrading my squad now.
Rodwell is a replacement for Yaya Toure, who is now 31. I figure I probably would have a couple more peak years left from Yaya Toure, but he is the oldest significant player on my squad. Rodwell is just as good and is 8 years younger. Almost more importantly, he counts as a home-grown player. This is important because Neymar and Vrsaljko are no longer U-21 now, and as a result, keeping Toure as my 2nd DM would leave me unable to register all my good players anymore. As it is, even with Rodwell, I still have to loan out Balotelli and Pjanic because I don't have space for them (though they are both 3rd string at their positions so that's fine). I'm trying to sell Yaya now while he is still worth something.
I got Babacar for a couple reasons. First off, Dzeko is 28. So obviously he has a few peak years left in him, BUT I do have to think about replacing him in the coming years. Babacar is the natural replacement for Dzeko at target man. Even though I don't need him right away, Babacar was getting interest from a lot of big clubs this transfer season, and it is my experience that once a player gets to a big club, that club requires a ton more money to get that player than the previous one did. Thus, I figured I'd buy him relatively cheap now, and try to make like half of it back loaning him out until Dzeko needs to be replaced.
Thus, this past transfer season, I secured a replacement for two of my three 30+ players (Pepe is the other one. I plan to buy Danny Wilson, Sakho, Otamendi etc next year to replace him) as well as my 2nd oldest striker.
