Good day goys and birls 
, I have started a new Swansea City game with the aim to win the title in 5 seasons. I will continue the game after such time and will make Swansea the best team in Europe. I'm planning on carrying this game on long term until FM13 comes out. I've had great success on FM11 with Aston Villa (read my Aston Villa thread for more details) and FM12 with Everton. I'm calling out to all the readers of this thread to ask me anything you want about my game such as: training schedules, transfers, tactics, coaches etc. I'll update my story as much as I can to help you guys out. Below is a bio of my time at Everton, I had a great run with them on FM12. There are also pictures of all the important details that I take care of at the start of the season.

Now for the players I'll be keeping.

As you can see there are no surprises there as Swansea have an abundance of talent. Some people may think that I should keep Angel Rangel but I feel that there are better options that I can sign and I can make decent money out of selling him too. The positions I need to fill are: RB, CB, DMC & MC.
Right Back
The Full Back is a key player in modern football, having to supplement his traditional defensive duties with overlapping runs down the wing to support forward play and help attacks overload the final third. Although primarily a defensive player, he must be prepared to get forward when the team needs extra width. With an automatic duty, the Full Back will switch automatically between defend and attack duties according to your match strategy. Attributes required: Crossing, Marking, Tackling, Anticipation, Concentration, Positioning, Teamwork, Work Rate.

Centre Back
The main job of the Central Defender is to stop the opposing attackers from playing and to clear the ball from danger when required. However, especially for more aggressive tactics, he must also possess the technique and composure to be able to help the team maintain possession and lay off simple passes to more creative players. With a defend duty, the Central Defender will stay in line with his defensive partner and look to break up attacks, mark opposing forwards and prevent the ball from getting into the box. Attributes required: Heading, Marking, Tackling, Composure, Concentration, Decisions, Determination, Positioning, Jumping, Strength.

Defensive Midfielders
The Defensive Midfielder's main duties are to protect the defensive line from breaking attackers by closing them down quickly and to support the creative midfielders when in possession. A key job of the Defensive Midfielder is to keep hold of the ball while the defence and attack are reorganising themselves after a period of opposition pressure. With a support duty, the Defensive Midfielder will step into the midfield line and support attacking moves. Attributes required: Marking, Tackling, Concentration, Decisions, Positioning, Teamwork, Work Rate, Acceleration, Stamina and Strength.

Central Midfielders
The Central Midfielder has the technical ability to play attacking, support or defensive roles, but tends to lack the stamina, vision and drive to perform more than one simultaneously. With a defend duty, the Central Midfielder stays back in front of the defence and plays a simple supporting game for those playing further up the pitch. With a support duty, the Central Midfielder looks to hold his position in the middle of the park and play balls into the players ahead of him. Attributes required: First Touch, Passing, Decisions, Determination, Positioning, Teamwork, and Work Rate. Also: Heading, Marking and Tackling for a defend duty. Long Shots, Marking, Tackling, Creativity and Off the Ball for a support duty.
