I'm managing Liverpool myself, just started second season. Bought Alaba first season for £16.5m, and Corchia this season for £22.5m (half of it over 48 months). Only played 2 games of the new season so can't give a good evaluation yet. But they're both better going forward than defending it seems.
Im in second season also, and got Santon(15,75M€) and Coentrao(12M€) on the left. Johnson and Kelly on right, Kelly has been very solid, an avr of 7.14. Johnson has been a little flop, but its okay as Kelly is playing well.
Try N. Clyne. I bougth him in 2nd season with Liverpool. He cost about 6 million €. Good rotate/back up for Johnson and can play in both sides. He's doing good for my team and future looks bright. Plus he's from england.
