RageMaster Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Welcome to the Tottenham Hotspur 2017 Team Thread First Team Squad Goalkeepers: Hugo Lloris - Club Captain and one of the best keepers in the game Michel Vorm - Probably not many better backup keepers than Vorm Pau Lopez - Young spaniard on loan from Espanyol for the 1st season, has decent potential Defenders: Kyle Walker - First choice Right Back in the squad and for England Kieran Tripper - Very capable backup Danny Rose - One of the best attacking left backs on the game to start with Ben Davies - Very capable backup, also able to play as a LCB should you decide to go with 3 at the back Jan Vertongen - Vice captain, has a good partnership with Toby Toby Alderweireld - One of the best defenders in the PL Kevin Wimmer - Decent backup, a little potential to grow stats wise Cameron Carter-Vickers - This kid has a lot of potential, give him as much game time as possible Midfielders: Victor Wanyama - One of the best Midfield destroyers in the PL Eric Dier - Young with potential to develop more, very versatile and can play a lot of different positions Mousa Dembele - Not many can knock this lad off the ball, ideal box-to-box player Moussa Sissoko - Decent rotation option to have in the squad Harry Winks - Youngster with some potential to develop into a good playmaker Christian Eriksen - The playmaker in the side Erik Lamela - Able to play out wide, centrally and can even be used as a false 9 if you wish, technically very good Dele Alli - One of the best Midfielders on the game, keep him at all costs Josh Onomah - Another youngster with decent potential, can be retrained to play outwide or can be a central playmaker Kevin Georges-Nkoudou - A raw talent who pocesses plenty of pace but not much end product unfortunately Forwards: Harry Kane - Homegrown World Class Striker, keep at all costs Son Heung-Min - Decent rotation option, is probably more iffective outwide as an inside forward however Vincent Janssen - Dutch backup striker with a little bit of potential but unfortunately doesn't develop into anything special Notable Youth: Marcus Edwards - Give him as many minutes as you can! Kyle Walker-Peters - Decent potential and can play both left and right full back Luke McGee - Young homegrown keeper, won't turn into your Number 1 but handy to keep for Squad registration Kaziah Sterling - Raw and Pacy, sometimes develops into a well rounded inside forward Tashan Oakley-Boothe - Young midfielder, sometimes develops into a decent squad rotation option Out on Loan: Federico Fazio - Sell! Nabil Bentaleb - You may wish to keep Nabil and develop him, he does have a bit of potential to develop, you can get north of £15m after his loan spell however. Clinton N'Jie - Sell! The Tottenham Way Formations In real life, if you have been following Tottenham closely, they mainly use a 4-2-3-1 system. They do however sometimes use a 3-4-2-1 formation. I have also used the 4-1-4-1 system before with this squad. Tottenham like to play a possession based game, with ball playing central defenders and also a sweeper keeper mopping up behind. The full backs will push on however Danny Rose gets forward just a fraction more than Kyle Walker at RB who tends to be a little more conservative. Whatever system Spurs play, you will see Eriksen acting as the chief playmaker, drifting around the pitch looking for space. Dele Alli will be close to Harry Kane trying to make runs off of him into channels. Transfer Market In recent times, Spurs have tended to look more towards young players aged 22 and under with potential to improve however the odd experienced Premier League player is signed (Wanyama, Sissoko in 2016. Trippier and Alderweireld in 2015, Vorm and Davies in 2014). Tottenham have also been trying to make best use of there Youth Academy and have seen a number of players graduate to First Team level in recent seasons (Jake Livermore, Steven Caulker, Ryan Mason, Tom Carroll, Bentaleb, Andros Townsend etc) Backroom Staff In real life, Paul Mitchell (Chief Scout in game) will be leaving Spurs in December 2017 so to keep things realistic you may wish to find a new replacement. The first problem you will need to address is there is no manager for the U18 squad (Nigel Gibbs was doing this IRL before moving to Swansea City, Kenny Jackett seems to be filling in currently). In real life John McDermott is very highly thought of at the club and oversees everything below First Team level at the club. Facilities the 2016/2017 season will be the last at White Hart Lane. NWHL is currently being built adjacent to the current stadium and will open in August 2018 with a capacity of just over 61,000. During the 1st season on the game you will play European matches at Wembley due to the building works at WHL. Wembley will also be the temporary home used by Spurs for all domestic games in the 2017/2018 season. The clubs training ground is called Hotspur Way and is rated as being one of the best facilities of its kind in Europe. Youth Recruitment is well established and the Youth Coaching is very good. Finances Due to the new stadium build, there is a big bank loan to pay off (north of 600m). In my experiences the loan doesn't have a huge burden on the finances aslong as you are successful and savvy with your transfer dealings. At the start of the game you are able to get £50m to spend and nearly 300k in spare wages. Invest wisely! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vasilli07 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I played with a 3-4-2-1 and the system really fits the players. It's defensively very strong especially with Dembele and Wanyama sitting in front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter Lionheart Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 So, just did the double after a couple of seasons with Spurs. Played a 4-2-3-1, with a box to box and a DLP (D), an inside forward on the left and a winger on the right. Kane had a monster season for me, 30 in 30 (2) in the PL, and another 11 in other comps. Currently looking for replacement CMs after selling Bentaleb and Bazoer though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH he's already at the level he should be in the game.. the issue was he was probably upgraded before his time previously now he's pretty much just caught up in real life to his in game stats... any more and he'd be too good.

I don't agree at all. In three saves I've had that have gone past 5 seasons (none as Tottenham) he has failed to become a regular Premier League player. The best he's managed is a squad player for West Brom. Perhaps that's his future IRL, but right now I'd say he has a good shot at becoming an established Premier League midfielder, perhaps even at Tottenham - which does not seem possible from his in game stats and potential.

Welshace Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I honestly don't rate him any better than Carroll or Mason that came before him... but as you say, time will tell. The fact we haven't seen a meteoric rise from him makes it almost impossible for the researchers to give him any big raise though. In fact, his CA and PA range put him on par with the likes of: James Ward-Prowse Gerson El Neny Wanyama Wijnaldum Schneiderlin Joe Allen M'vila just to name a few... I would say that's more than fair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginola* Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 From what I've seen he's definitely got more about him than Carroll and Mason. It's only early days though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlawlor91 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Just started a Spurs save, here are my ins and outs: As you can tell I've spent a bucket load, but I'm going for the league this season and I'm planning to sell Sissoko and Janssen in Jan. My tactics are as follows: and that's not even with Murillo, Riedewald, Lukaku and Coutinho in the starting line-up! After 3 games I'm top, having beaten Man United away 4-1 (Lacazette scored all of them) West Ham 5-1 at home and Chelsea 2-1 away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
