Now the 11.3 patch is out and i feel i am ready to help people who are maybe interested in starting with Sheffield Wednesday for the second time
You get a £1,400,000 budget for Winner which is easily achievable and £1,000,000 for Promotion.
Sheffield Wednesday Football Club
Chairman: Milan Mandaric [Loves the club]
League: League One
Last Season: 22nd (Championship)
Media Prediction: 3rd
Fierce Rivals: Sheffield United, Rotherham, Leeds, Barnsley
Other Rivals: Hull, Chesterfield, Doncaster, Man Utd, Huddersfield
Goalkeepers
Nicky Weaver
Richard O'Donnell
Aaron Jameson
I think you have a very capable keeper in Weaver who still has 2-3 years left in him and O'Donnell is good backup. If you gain promotion into the Championship you may need a new fresh keeper so i recommend you sign a keeper in the first season. Also i would send Jameson out on loan to give him some experience.
Recommended Transfers
IN - Alex Smithies - £700,000 or Roy Carroll - Free Transfer
Out - Aaron Jameson - Loan
Defenders
Lewis Buxton
Reda Johnson
Michael Morrison
Tommy Spurr
Mark Reynolds
Mark Beevers
Daniel Jones
Jon Otsemobor
You have a very experienced defence with the likes of Jones, Morrsion and Beevers but you could do with a tough guy at center back to help out. My main four defenders would be Reynolds, Beevers, Johnson , Morrison but thats up to you. I feel Buxton is absolute kak so i would sell him for £90k
Midfield
Isiaah Osbourne
Jermaine Johnson
Tommy Miller
Darren Potter
Chris Sedgwick
Gary Teale
James O'Connor
Liam Palmer
Giles Coke
Again you have lots of depth here and i would say your best four would be Teale ,Miller, O'Connor, Johnson . I feel you need a nice quick winger to grab you some goals and a good passer. Miller can pass a ball and Teale can be more than capable despite his bad stats. I would send Palmer out to gain experience as he can become good. I feel although Teale is good he will only last another year or so so i would look for a replacement for him.
Recommended Transfers
IN - Siphiwe Tshabalala - £575k
Delron Buckley - Free Transfer
Edu - Free Transfer
Chris James - Free Transfer
Tomas Horava - £210k
OUT - Darren Potter - £190,000
James O'Connor - £50k
Strikers
Nathan Modest
Paul Heffernan
Neil Mellor
Clinton Morrison
Gary Madine
You have no real depth here but i would sell Modest to Nottingham Forest as they normally offer for him. Mellor, Heffernan and Morrison can easily score 15-20 goals a season but i feel you need a few more new faces so i would recommend looking in the Premier League reserves. Madine will turn out to be great so keep hold of him at all costs.
Recommended Transfer
IN - Febian Brandy - Free Transfer
Dawid Nowak - £400,000
Julio Cruz - Free Transfer
Staff
I feel you need to reshape your staff as some are pants and you need a decent scout etc. Valentine, Smith, Smith, Palmer, Fickling and Evans should be offered 'mutual termination' as you can get way better replacements.
Starting Lineup (with signings)
Carroll
Morrison - Johnson - Beevers - Reynolds
Tshabalala - Miller - Edu - Buckley
Nowak - Madine
Starting Lineup (without signings)
Weaver
Morrison - Johnson - Beevers - Reynolds
Teale - Miller - Coke - Sedgwick
Madine - Morrison
Recommended changes
In - Chris Malkin - Physio
David Hamilton - Scout
Gary Bailey - Goalkeeping coach
Tony Cotton - Assistant Manager (must buy!)
Out - Chris Evans - Assistant Manager
Terry Valentine - Scout
Paul Smith - Physio
Alan Smith - Physio
Mark Palmer - Physio
Ashley Fickling - Physio
Tactics
I would recommend using Bodell's two up top formation as it works wonders with the squad you have at the moment.
Thanks for reading, I3east :wub:
