Used an attacking 4-1-4-1 team, only bought Damien Delaney 2.4m, Vuckic 1.2m,Bouzanis 0.425m and Salamon 1.3m. Had Volz, Fabio and Eckersley on loan (fee combined 750k), so no superstars or money to spend. I predicted play-off place for extra wage budget.
I've played a couple of pre-season friendlies against good teams and my lads are uselessI've tried Willsters v1 tactic recently, conceded less but created even less than before! I need to avoid relegation and find a formation and tactic to suit me at this higher level. My squad is:
GK:Bouzanis,Supple,Wright
DL: Delaney,Thatcher,Harding(wb),Richards(wb)
DC:Balkenstein,Bruce,Naylor
DR:McAuley,Wright,Orr(new signing)
MC:Campo,ShumulikoskiGarvan,Miller,Trotter,Norris, Salamon
M/AML:Quinn,Peters,Ainsley
M/AMR:Haynes,Walters
ST/F:Counago,Stead,Vuckic,Lisbie,Kadlec(new signing 375k)
I can't get the tight fisted board to release extra funds for better squad so have to do some magic with this bunch, whose morale has stayed super even though results are rubbish!
</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
I assume I'll need a defensive system as I don't have the stikers to terrorize a decent Premiership defence, maybe a tight 4-2-3-1 or 5-3-2 system. Any advice will be appreciated!!!
