Decided to start my final long term save with United, to mix things up a little I have set some ground rules when it comes to transfers.
1. When selling a player the first option must to be to promote from within the clubs youth team. For example season one I sold Varane to Al-Nasser and have promoted Will Fish to the first team
2. If there is not a suitable youth player to replace the player sold I must then look for an English player 25 or younger.
3. If no suitable English player 25 or younger can be found I must then look for an English player of any age.
4. If no suitable English player is available I must then look for any player aged 25 or under
5. If no suitable player under the age of 25 is found then I can then go for any player of any age.
6. No purchased player can cost more than the player they are coming in to replace.
So far in to season 4:

Ehlyr Harrison, Will Fish, Dan Gore, Shea Lacey, James Scanlon, Shola Shoretire and Joe Hugill

Playing a 4231 with 2 CWB 2 DMs 3 Shadow Strikers and an advanced forward meaning we're free scoring but are prone to the occasional game where we concede a lot.
