    No both DM - supports. Allows a compact low block which means the full backs support the attacking 4. Ends up with the wingers behind the forwards in an attacking phase and a back six while out of possession.

    Anyway played the Carabao Cup final against Arsenal and was possibly the most Spursy result going...:

    And then lost on Penalties...

    As a spurs fan I'm not sure which hurts more... losing that way or losing that way to Arsenal.

    January transfer window completed and not what I wanted. Just an early caveat - the way that I play FM is to only sign under 21's or those that are transfer listed that I think have future value to turn a profit. With that in mind:

    Out:

    Bissouma out for 66Million - Didnt want to sell but wanted to leave - ended up at Liverpool.

    In:

    Stefan Bajcetic 27.5 Million

    Gianluca Prestianni 9 Mill

     

    Went after a few signings but some of the wages being asked for was madness. So before I signed Prestianni after I tried to buy Roony Bardghji was asking for wages of 110k at 18 and that was reduced from 150k. 

    I also went after a few other transfer listed players:

    Scott McTominay - wanted 12 Million but in the summer only wanted 6.5million and wouldnt budge.

    Thiago Silva - Preferred less wages and a return to Brazil

     

    Have managed to make the final of the Carabao Cup against Arsenal...

     

     

    Bajcetic looks absolute class in my save. Who will you play as your DM? Skipp or him?

    So now in January 2024. After my two losses in the first two games managed a good run of 7 wins on the trot (2 in the Carabao Cup) before losing 1-0 to Chelsea away. Tight game where our XG was much higher so frustrating. Following was Man United and we went 2 nil down in the first 20 minutes but ended up 6-2. So pleased with that.

    Top scorer first half of the season was Richardson 10 goals in 20 appearances.

    Top Assists Son with 9 from 17 appearances.

    Great news is Jamie Donley has been really useful with 8 starts and 10 sub appearances and 8 goals and developing very nicely.

    Currently sat in 2nd although City a point behind with a game in hand. W13 D2 L5
     

    Ideally would like to get rid of all: Son (18 months left on his contract), Richarlson (Not sure where to play him not a St & not a winger), Gil, Lo Celso, Hojbjerg, Johnson and replace the lot. Highly unlikely but we shall see but found the lot to be frustrating at times. 10 of my players are wanted so see what happens there. 

    Chelsea seem to be the bogey team, lost to them twice in the league.

    Advice - use the kids!! Donley and Veliz have both scored 8 goals each. Ashley Philips has been solid when called upon (more than I wanted too!!) with 10 starts due to injuries and favourable cup games.

     

    I have never been able to get anything out of Richarlison.... Brennan Johnson has been incredible for me as an attacking right winger though. Like AMAZING.

    Not sure on this tactic.., But whatever works! Interesting you have mentioned Phillips scoring as he has been brilliant for me come up to Jan in my first season. I'm playing a 442 formation and barely played anybody other than 3 CM's (Bentacur, Bissouma, Sarr) - Maddison & Kulusevski off the flanks have been brilliant. Got a lot of players in the squad that I dont know what to do with - Namely Son, Richarlson, Johnson. Stats arent that good and also hit and miss when playing them in the preferred formation. Hopefully get to January over the weekend for a full overview!

    Yeah it's definitely a touch leaky, but the football it produces in the match engine is so fun to watch. It produces triangles all over the pitch with the movement of the IWB's and the HB. Also feels like this is the 1st FM in years that has made winger (the role) play amazing.

    Just won the league. I’ll post screenshots later but it was a tight race. We pulled a bunch of stuff from late;

     

    we had some unlikely heroes….Brennan Johnson had 11 goals and 11 assists while being a super sub/ rotation player…. Destiny Udogie had 6 goals all of which seemed to seal 3 points… Oliver Skipp was the perfect Halfback and Ashley Phillips had a brace in a must win game vs Everton while filling in for an injured VDV. 
     

    I wasn’t convinced by Son through the middle. I will probably play him out left and look to sign and true #9

    Started a brand new save with a shape in mind.

    Saudi came shopping fast and flashy. here are my ins and outs.

    The Signing that has made the biggest impact so far has been Dybala who is killing it in my AM (a) spot. Galeno has been a class left winger as I wanted to play Son up top. Larsen has been an incredible off the bench striker who gives us an aerial presence to change up the attack. Brought back Edwards and KWP to have Home grown players at the club for Europe next year.

     

    About a quarter of the way through the year we sit in 4th with a defeat to Liverpool and two draws vs United and Chelsea. Champions league is the hope for this year.  Screenshot2023-11-29at12_08_28PM.thumb.png.efc7fed82ed239b127195ffb1302fb1f.png

    Here is how I'm lining up. Lots of goals while really only giving up a few counters.Screenshot2023-11-29at12_24_01PM.thumb.png.ba9f29c0d1791cab39d2a6d66be07042.png

    Half way through the first transfer window and cleaned out a lot of the first team and I currently have a lot of unhappy players that are left.
     

    I am aiming to have a squad of 25 players so had to bring the numbers down and not really invested to heavily either.

    First port of call was to reject Bissouma bids. Saudi offers came in at £55 million and didn’t allow any wiggle room so I rejected them. First unhappy player.

    Second one was Ryan Sessegnon who told me he would be considering his options. I was unable to sell him but had a few loan bids (Bournemouth and Newcastle) so accepted and spent 8 mill on Valentin Barco.

    With that I then put all the players I wanted to get rid of on the Transfer List:

    Eric Dier, Ben Davies, Hugo Lloris, Fraser Forster, Perisic, Solomon.

    And yet the next player out the door was Romero to Al-Hilal for 62 Mill. Although I didn’t want to sell him he wanted to go.

    Off the back of this sale I wanted to ensure I had correct defensive cover so spent the cash - 40 mill - on Jean-Clair Todibo. I want to blood Phillips and Dorrington so will be try to use them with these two as my starters but appreciate this may change in January if not going to plan. 

    Then started to gather momentum with sales and recouped wages:

    Manor Solomon sold to Ajax 17.25 rising to 23.5mill

    Ben Davies for 12.25 although the board tried to block this sale as they felt the value was too far under his value. Eric Dier for 17mill and Perisic for 400k. Along with a few U21’s that aren’t good enough. 
     

    Now just awaiting game to see what other bids I can get - ideally Emerson & Hojbjerg (although happy to keep) Bryan Gil and Richarlison.

     

    Who else have you brought in?

    I didnt realise attracting talent/players to Spurs would be so difficult. Tried to buy a host of players in the last few days of the window and either being quoted large wages or not interested to move to Spurs. Didn't manage to shift any further players out and didnt get any in.

    And then a real poor start to the season. Lost to Liverpool away 2-1 and then blew a 2 nil lead at homes to Wolves to lose 2-3. Finally managed to see a small change as beat Brentford at home 2-1.

    the lack of any european football is a real hindrance in the 1st window

    Just setting up a Spurs save so see how it goes!
     

    Got some great young talent which is my aim to nurture through and only buy supporting players around this. Aim of the first season is to ensure I clear out as many of the squad that I don’t see a future for and ensure we hit Europe next year. 

    Mikey Moore, Lankshear and Dorrington can be all world class
