Will I survive the BPL?

[peskybendben]

So, basically, I am just about to begin my 4th season. This will be my first season in the Premier League. Is my squad good enough to survive in the BPL? I still have lots of time left in the transfer window, but I think I have just about wrapped up all dealings now. Game date is only 21st July. I have 2 teams. One for reserve. Please tell me where I can improve, or whether my team is good enough for the PL. (Side note - I have 14m transfer budget left, but the club balance is about -8m. Not sure if I should touch the budget...)(Side note 2 - Chris Smalling has accepted a contract so will join any moment.)

Ok, that's it. Thanks for reading, and I look forward to hearing some feedback. ​

Yes That teams ten times better than my Cardiff one and I fiished 9th. You could challenge for Europe. But that also depends on your manger skills.

You may struggle with that attacking formation but I don't think you will get relegated.

 

[peskybendben]

Thanks to you both. In my first 3 seasons as manager I got promoted twice via play-offs. I am aiming to avoid relegation this season, and if successful, I will then challenge for a top 7/8 finish next season. Thanks for your help. Any more contributions?

you should be fine with that squad, I predict 11th for you this season...

you definately need to bring in some more pace though

 

[peskybendben]

Media prediction is 19th! However, I think I can finish around 14th. And pace, yes, definitely need more pace. I think I am going to go into administration anyway because the club balance is on -£9,000,000... If I get points deducted, it will be a proper battle to stay in the BPL.

When I was Soton, I made the mistake of selling Schneiderlin, got £6m for him after my season in the Championship, he was my best player

You have a good squad there mate I predict you 13th for the season...
