Approaching 2nd Season with Everton..

[GenerationGinge]

Hi guys, I am new to this site.. and look forward forward to interacting with all you FM users.

I have just finished my 1st season with Everton, and had a decent enough season finished 7th place.. And i am looking to add a few faces to my squad. I have around 16m and Leighton Baines could be off as he is looking to move to a bigger club. Set a high asking price to scare away interest.

Players that i have bought is John Souter from Dundee Utd, Didier Drogba (had a woeful season) Jermaine Jones from Schalke 04, Andres D'Allesandro.

And i just signed Andrew Keough as he had a cracking season in the championship, i desperately need a goal scorer and i hope he is that man.

I am just looking for a few players to help my squad, and so i can tackle the Europa League and get a good achievement.

I play 4 defenders 2 holding midfielders with an Supporting winger on both the right and left side, with an attacking midfielder, with 1 striker! My Tactic instructions is mainly forcing wing play and keep possession.

Any help would be appreciated, and look forward to all your input, and i hope i can help you out also with tips!

Keep Distin even though he's an old fart now, he continued to be my 2nd def 3 seasons in and I'd recommend a real strong target man type if your going with a pos based 4-2-3-1. I ended up winning the Europa 2nd season as they don't need much improvement apart from a winger, striker and just some added squad depth

I signed Papadopolous from Schalke.. any recommendations for a target man?

Mitrovic or Vincent Aboubakar is decent as well mate.

2nd season look at people getting released can snap up some class players but for cheap good players look at Joel Valencia, M.Diame. Yacine Brahime. Albin Ekdal. Sergi Darder. M.lowton. N.Gaitan M.Vydra

Hey, im also starting my second term as Everton manager and i qualified for Europe aswell. After the departure of lakuku :-( i was in need of a striker as kon? was not cutting the mustard. I found that in a young 17 year old from Santos (Brazil) called Gabriel Barbosa, he is an absolute god send and despite his age he came straight in to the team and scored on his debue. You can pick him up for around 6.5 - 7 mil, hope this helps and trust me you will not be dissapointed.

Try to sign Ruben Garcia from Levante. He is amazing as left winger and should be quite cheap depending on how good Levante performed during the season. And if he is still at San Lorenzo you should buy Angel Correa

Thanks for your input.. i dont have a sufficient budget available as yet, as i wasted the 9m i had spare on Fuchs from Schalke. will add him to my shortlist just to keep an eye out for him.
