I as well have a Newcastle save at the moment. I'm in 2014/15 and I have won PL and CL two times in a row!

My highest recommendation is Marc-Andre ter Stegen! He has been vital for my success and doesn't let in goals often. If he is available and wants to join your club, pay what it takes to get him!

I see you have very good midfielders and forwards, so defensively you should buy Shawcross. He is my captain and has played very well for me. If you induvidually train him on strength on high level for 1-2 months, he gets 17 (maybe 18) in strength. So he become a dominant and strong defender.

Good luck, hope you get the CL place you want!

Take a look at Yanga Mbiwa at Montpellier Herault. He has also played good for me and he has alot of pace, that can be helpfull when the opponent get a counter attack

Don't buy musacchio ,from my experiance, bought him in august 2012 with newcastle and found hime useless every other game achieving ratings of 5.9s. I also signed botis (spelling) a spanish centre back who was much better

Managed to get him only on loan again - strange in another save he was like 18 million!
Got Yanga Mbiwa on a free though!
