Just finish my first season. won on the title with 1 game remaining and ended at 88 points with Arsenal and Villa tied at 83 in 2nd and 3rd respectively, Spurs completed the top 4 at 76. Interestingly it was Arsenal and Villa that came close while City had a disappointing season finishing 5th. I also managed to win the Europa league but crashed out of FA and Carabao cup early.
Across all competitions:
Top scorers - Nunez (19), Jota (16), Gakpo (14), Szobo (10)
Top assists - Szobo (10), Salah Gakpo Elliot (9), Nunez Robbo Mac (8)
Disappointing by his standards, Salah only managed 8 goals and 9 assists in 33 appearances though he was out for 2 months. Could also be my tactics, as goal contributions have come from many players. Think i will sell him. Nunez though has the best G/A contributions of 27 in 44 appearances as a pressing forward, seems very inconsistent as he had 2 long barren spells. Probably need another more consistent striker.
In:
Scalvini ( developed quickly in the season with some appearances - def worth the price tag )
Barco ( cheap price, good to develop or sell in the future )
Prestianni ( seems like high PA in my save )
Tchouameni ( brought him in on loan in winter as he was available - decent but not impressive when played )
Out:
Matip ( sold after first season as he's not in my plans )
Salah ( pending him accepting Saudi offer. managed to get them to pay 220m )
Thiago ( release on a free. should have sold him earlier but he got angry at me )
Adrian ( retire )
Gomez ( sold to PSG after a good offer came in winter )
Tsimikas ( sold to PSG after first season, they love my fullbacks? )
Various youth with no future
Any recommendations who i can bring in as a ready made replacement for Salah ? Seems like Ferguson is a no brainer to bring in due to homegrown status.
