I'm not going to mention my Liverpool Team signings, as they're mainly re-gens at this point, although most notably I'd say Rafinha and Mata were my favourite signings.
Anyway, onto why I'm posting on this section. Continuing on with my MK Dons Challenge, in my second season in League One. I signed Berat Sadik and Orlando Smeekes most notably. Two players I thought would fit well with my system, I like pacey wingers who can dribble past a player and a good all-round striker. It's exactly what I got.

His Technique is 14, and his Work Rate is 10.
Signed on a free transfer, he took a while settling in. With two goals in his first 10 games, but then started to find his form before he got injured for 3 weeks in January. But after that, he went on a scoring rampage with 17 goals in his last 20 games, including three hat-tricks. He went on a seven game scoring run, which included a hat-trick. Because of this, my MK Dons team who were fighting not to get sucked into the relegation battle in 16th Position, rose up the table and finished 9th, around 10 points off the play-off places, when predicted to be relegated.

Orlando Smeekes was another arrival, he was very consitant and in my view, the best left winger in the league. I would of hoped for more assists, but his consistent performances meant the team played well and always had a threat on the left. He scored important goals and is definatly a player I hope to keep for another couple of seasons, but with one year left on his contract and the fact he currently does not want to renew it, I feel I have to achieve promotion for him to stay.

His Technique is 13 and his Work Rate is 9.
He's at the age of 28 and I'm sure I can find a good winger to replace him. But he is definatly a player to have at this level, I'm thinking I could sell him in January and get a good winger in. Due to my pathetic MK Dons budget, but that is understandable.

Other notable signings I have made and would reccomend are; John Welsh, Bradley Johnson, Phil Ifil, Lewis Buxton, Richie Byrne, and Oliver Hinz.
