Finished in 8th place on 61 points, only two points away from a Europa League Place. Now, coming into the second season, I have an extra 31 million pounds to spend on transfers and 290K p/w on wages. Here is my team, I play a possession 4231, but we sometimes leak goals, so I may change formation depending on input.
GK(d): Geronimo Rulli (joining on a free transfer), Artur Boruc, Adam Federici
DR(full back on support): Simon Francis, Adam Smith
DC(central defender on defend): Tommy Elphick, Steve Cook
DC(central defender on defend): Joe Gomez (on loan from Liverpool, want to get him back), Sylvian Distin
DL(full back on support): Charlie Daniels, Tyrone Mings (retruning from his long injury insure how he'll do)
MC(deep lying playmaker on support): Sergi Samper(matched his release clause), Harry Arter
MC(box to box on support): Dan Gosling, Andrew Surman
AML(winger on support): Max Gradel, Tarik Elyounoussi, Junior Stanislas
AMC(advanced playmaker on attack): No one (had Angel Correa on loan, he was brilliant but wont come back)
AMR(inside forward on support): Matt Ritchie
ST(advanced forward on attack): Callum Wilson (30 goals and 13 assists in all comps), Benik Afobe
Should I change formation?
Who should I sign?
I think the AMC needs a clear upgrade, but I'm unsure who could fill in.
Positions of upgrade: First Team LB, First Team CB, First Team AMC, First Team AML, and a young back up striker with a rotational box to box midfielder
Southampton were relegated so I was thinking about going after their players, other than that, I dont have a particular plan, might look for some good loanees with future fees and scan the transfer list since players like Fererra Carrasco, Kranevitter, Brandt etc are available.
Any feedback is appreciated
