Curently about to start my 3rd season with Liverpool and I'm looking to strengthen the squad. This season Gerrard will be phased out but I think my midfield is pretty strong with Henderson, Florenzi, Lucas, Iancu, Countinho, Allen and Papadoupoulos (trained as a BWM-CM) plus a few regens and youngsters as noted below. My strike force may be a little weak given its Suarez, Sturridge and Jelavic plus a 17 year old regen but I largely play with a sole striker. Coutinho is also trained as a striker for back up. My defence was strengthened with Alex Sandro and Clyne to supplement Glen Johnson, Luis Enrique was let go. Eder Balanta and Sakho are my main pairing with Agger and Papadopolous backing them up plus a regen or youngster.
Its 1st July 2015, I have 51.33m and ample wage budget having let go of a couple high earners who were edged out by others. My squad has an average age of 24 but this is misleading as its probably younger than that effectivfely given the lessened playing time for Reina and Gerrard, as well as Jelavic and Johnson so I am thinking a 26+ year old would add a bit more experience.
Last year I came 2nd in the EPL, quarter finals of the CL and did reasonable in the cups. So I have European football to attract decent players, money to spend and want to avoid 'second season' devolution that I avoided last season and fear this season.
I use ASMFCv5.7 by ASMFC, TFF_CROSS_V2 by TotalFootballFan and Darrens Dynamic 4-2-3-1 (from FM-Scout, counter attack tactic). ASMFCv5.7 is a back 4 with a BWM-D as DM. 2 CM-Auto, 2 wingers on attack and a CF-A up front. TFF Cross is an attacking tactic with a back 4, BWM-S as DM, 3 CM-As, an SS and a DLF-S.
Id post the links to the tactics but given an inability to post links as a new poster Im unable to give full credit where its due.
So who do I buy to strengthen the team?
First team squad as follows (subs in parentheses):
Goalkeepers - Mignolet (Reina - interchangeable really given their form for me last season)
Full backs - Sandro, Clyne (regen, Johnson and Kelly - probably getting rid of Kelly)
CBs - Balanta and Sakho (Agger, Papadopoulos, Wisdom, Kelly and a regen)
BWMs or DMs - Lucas (Papadopoulos, Pugliese, Allen - Could get rid of Allen)
CMs, BBM, DLP - Henderson and Florenzi (Lucas, Allen, Gerrard, Gauld, Will Hughes)
AMC, SS - Coutinho (Florenzi, Hughes, Henderson, Gauld, Suso, Suarez, Iancu)
Wingers etc - Coutinho and Suarez (Sturridge, Henderson, Ibe, Sterling, Iancu, Suso, Gauld)
Striker - Sturridge (Suarez, Jelavic, regen)
Im thinking perhaps a new striker with a good reputation to get the fans pumped and too allow Suarez to continue playing out wide?
Cheers for any responses, be happy to field any queries.
