This is the Newcastle team I assembled. I have now left after winning the Premiership, F.A Cup and Champions League and making the club rich, so it just got easy. New challenge (as a new manager) with Bayern Munich now, no longer the dominant force in German football.
Sadly I don't seem able to put them in the line up I tended to play, but I played this line up:
----------------------Cabrera
-Gómez----------Fabio------Dia-----------Da Silva
---------------------Guilherme
----------------Verheyen---Mesa
--Duenas---------------------------------Marchal
--------------------Carragher
I know some will consider it a waste of Fabio's 20 passing attribute to put him in defence, but a ball playing defender is a must with my style, it's vital for my possession, and he's brilliant at it. Gómez, Mesa and Duenas were all signed in the summer so their values won't reflect their abilities properly. Sorry about Mesa's screenshot too, I've only got half his attributes and can't be bothered to scout him as my game is ridiculously slow now.
Anyway, this is what I paid for them all:
Cabrera - Free
Gómez - £9m
Dia - £22m
Fabio - £4m
Da Silva - £4.5m
Guilherme - Free
Verheyen - £9.25m
Mesa - £4.7m
Duenas - £26.5m
Marchal - £6m
Carragher - £10m
Obviously there were plenty more players who played, but that's Newcastle's strongest XI. My net spend in my 5 and a bit years at the club was around £55m, but I took the club from Championship to Champions League winners, had the stadium expanded and the facilities are all as good as they can possibly be, have added £20m to the club's bank balance despite all that and have the best U-18 team in the world. Probably my favourite save ever this one. Really enjoyed starting from the bottom without any players I recognised.
