Premier League

Brian Smith wins fans player of the year:
The 19 year-old right back has been voted player of the year by the Leicester faithful. The N.Ireland international won his first cap last season, he also made 40 appearances for Leicester scoring 4 times.

Start of season expectations:
The board have fully backed me for this tough season giving me a tasty transfer budget, £28M i have to spend on new players for a mid-table finish.

First 3 fixtures:
[A] West Brom
[H] Liverpool
[A] Everton

Change of formation:
Ive decided to play a 4-4-2 this season insted of a 4-1-2-1-2, so i need to buy some wingers.

Some suggestions on who to buy would be helpful, need wingers and stirkers mostly, other postitons i will consider :)
​

---------- Post added at 03:38 AM ---------- Previous post was yesterday at 08:03 PM ----------

Any suggestions then? :)
 
Milevskyi will bang them in if he wants to join you. Fletcher from relegated Burnley maybe. Eagles is always a good buy. See Rodallega is in the Championship, and N'zogbia, could try those 2?
