What formation are you using? And what is your budget? A little more information would be nice.

GK - Francesco Bardi. Jack Butland. Jeronimo Rulli.

CB - Papadopoulous. Umtiti. Doria. Jonathan Silva. But most preferably, start looking for Regens.

CM - Mario Pugliese. Lucas Romero.

Wingers - Januzaj. Stanciu. Oxlade Chamberlain. Jake Sinclair (Soton Youth Player). Tom Ince

ST - Mitrovic. Giovanni Simeone. Gabbiadini. Escaldani.

Probably mention what type of player roles you use, and what your budget is for more players. I just mentioned good players available reasonably cheaply.

 

[LukeDirnt]

Yes I am playing a 4231 but im also keen on dropping to a 433 with a holding mid since ill be loosing dinho on a free.

The shapes is

GK- Defend
2 CBS- Defend
2 Fullbacks on support - Getting crosses in
2 cms one on BWM the other dlp
3 attacking mids - One IF one AP and one Winger
Advanced forward as lone striker.

 

[Sherkey]

And your budget?

For a BWM, Lucas Romero and Papadopoulous are monsters. Along with M'Vila. DLP/BTB you shouldn't have problems with Ward-Prows and Schneiderlin.

Get Will Hughes as either AP/DLP. He's a monster on both areas. All other players I mentioned should still be relevant for said tactic..

look at Sunderland Alfred D'niaye (spelling) hes a good BWM or F.Zuculini for back up GK look at M.Perrin

 

[MANUMAD]

GK - Francesco Bardi. Jack Butland. Jeronimo Rulli.

CB - Papadopoulous. Umtiti. Doria. Jonathan Silva. But most preferably, start looking for Regens.

CM - Mario Pugliese. Lucas Romero.

Wingers - Januzaj. Stanciu. Oxlade Chamberlain. Jake Sinclair (Soton Youth Player). Tom Ince

ST - Mitrovic. Giovanni Simeone. Gabbiadini. Escaldani.

All the above players are very good especially the ones in bold (its Rescaldani btw).

Look also at Timo Werner/Mattia Perin (GK)/Ter Stegen (GK)/Iancu/Icardi/Balanta/Dede(cb)/Zaha/Gaston Gil Romero

 

[Sherkey]

Ah, misspelt Rescaldani, my bad =P Also, Silva is an LB, my bad putting him under CB. But he's excellent as well.

As for non-highlighted players, some of them turn out to be monsters as well. Got Umtiti for as low as 8.5M $ in the 2nd season, he is leagues better than Balanta, and Doria and Umtiti are among the best CB I've seen.

Jake Sinclair grows to be world-class, don't under-estimate him. If played from the 1st season (And he's good enough to be played), he grows World-class. United bought him for 50 Million$ in 2018. Same with Tom Ince, signed him 5.25 Million $ in the first season, he went to United for 70 Million $ in 2017.

Jernomino Rulli is excellent, but Bardi is outstanding, and I would rate him better than Rulli, even. Dunno if he'll available cheaply in the third season though.. I got him for around 11 Million$ in Season 2.

Also, Rescaldani is brilliant, but one player even better than him is Mitrovic. The guy is a beast. After that, in terms of value for money, it's Rescaldani, Simeone and then Gabbiadini (since he'll be more expensive).
