Nikopol Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Interesting question. This is my pre-release spreadsheet for Dortmund. A new center back is a high priority. Wonder if getting Upamecano or Konaté from Leipzig will be possible. Bürki is to be replaced in the long-term. Left back i'm thinking of Robert Skov from Hoffenheim. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freakiie Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 If Barcelona doesn't have a negative transfer budget something is wrong in the database. Personally not sure, need to see how the Bayern squad looks. RB is an issue irl at the moment, but I have no clue how Pavard looks in game (he generally was a solid player past versions). So most likely some talented RB or a C/DM and just move Kimmich back to right back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanydude Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Hopefully find a way to terminate Shane Duffy’s loan then go from there. Could probably use a winger and CDM for my Celtic team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
celtic_fc Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 For Celtic I'm eyeing up quite a few free transfers tbh. Hate using loan players that I'm never gonna be able to sign on permanently so leaves me needing a starting CB, LB and LW straight off the bat. Ideally I'd be able to tempt Garay, Asamoah and Ahmed Musa to fill those roles but suspect Garay and Musa's wage demands will be too high, at least at the start of the window, so Asamoah will hopefully be my first signing.

Then Ugarte, Campbell or even Ferguson for back up depending on their potential. Will probably loan out Soro and see how he gets on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MT55 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 (edited) I'll be managing Burnley so I'll like to try sign a skilful winger to bring a bit of flair to the club.

Garygooner666 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Will start with playing as Arsenal, only real plan was to sell a few extra players to bring the squad size down so Ozil Sokratis Saliba can be selected for competitions.

Piperita Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 If I'm not playing Union, Gogia. He is cheap and almost always far outplays his attributes. Otherwise: Fast defenders and Midfielders with high mentals. I guess my go-to South African guy (Phalakmani Mahlambi) might also be on the table but seeing how I don't follow his league I have no idea whether or not he'll be available or whether or not he even exists ^^ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have him back pls Wow, I'm surprised by that. He was a good Prem CB for us until Potter came in, and we only let him go because he didn't fit the new system. Candidate for player of the season year before last. I think he'll still be rated well on FM at least as they don't typically take the current season into account. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starskysdad Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Bristol Rovers... so not really a transfer budget to be had, will check out the free's and potential loans and take it from there I think I will try and get the best out of the squad to start with and concentrate more on match play and tactics with the beta with an eye on youngsters and newgens Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'll still be rated well on FM at least as they don't typically take the current season into account. He's been asked to play a ball playing role, in a defence that plays high up the park. Easy to understand why such a cumbersome/slow player is looking so poor in that set up. I'll be St Johnstone so I doubt we'll have any money. We currently play a back 3, despite having more centre forwards than CBs, so a back up centre back of some description is where I'll be starting.

I couldn't do that if it was the other way around, just wouldn't feel real to me Allan Campbell from Motherwell do you mean? I had a great save with Motherwell this year and him and Turnbull were lynchpins for the club, he'd be a great signing for you. If you're looking for a good CB then Jason Kerr at St Johnstone has been brilliant on the past 2 FM's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedders85 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 (edited) I would have signed Sandro Tonali but as he went to AC Milan I can scrap that. 1 st player I will be checking out will be 15 yr old Moukoko of B.Dortmund. I really should sign A.Isak as he was the star of football manager 2020 for me. Edited November 10, 2020 by Jedders85 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

inacion Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) On Benfica Julian Weigl doesn't fit on my tactics, I play on 4-2-3-1 gegenpress, I was able sell him for 14M€ to have some transfer budget. I need another option for box to box aside Gabriel and also a backup for Samaris as ball winning midfielder. My first sign was Roberto Gagliardini by 5M€, decent box to box considering my budget. Next target is ballwinning midfielder. Of couse I had prefered to sign Milinkovic Savic or Sandro Tonali but I don't budget for those targets Edited November 11, 2020 by inacion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisdufc Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 started game as usual with Dundee Utd - Most people like Ball Playing CH's, Lewis Neilson should be a cheap pick up for this role and has great stats for it at 17. Not sure how highly he will be rated in game but it should be high as he is unlikely to be at Utd for long in real life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
