Finished my first season. Won the league by 2 points after some bottle job draws near the end of the year. I also managed to win the champions league which I havent done for a while
came second in the group behind Barca but managing a relatively easy draw to the final. Bayern first who I smashed at home weirdly and then clung on in the away leg, then benfica who lost a man to a red and I won 4-1 at home to. Then I lost the second leg 3-1 to scrape through. Lazio were next after they beat real, again, winning heavily at home and drawing the away game
i then played Barca with their magic box formation, laboured to a 2-1 win they dominated
i played a 433 for most of the season
ramsdale as a sweeper keeper, Zinny as an iwb, Gabriel and Saliba as bpd, white as a wing back, Partey as a dm with ode lcm mezzala, rice rcm b2b/car, Saka and martinelli as inverted wingers and Jesus as either a dlf or af
the Goals were shared out, the most was ode with 16 and 15 assists. Saka and martinelli also played very well and my super subs, Eddie, trossard, Nketiah and the ridiculous vieira. He came in and bagged 10 goals over the season, seeming overpowered at times
i managed to dominate most games bar the big teams away so when the window opened I immediately sold Havertz who wanted out for 62 mill to Liverpool, sambi has gone for 15 mill, Patino for 6 with a buy back and I got rid of el neney and Jorginho on frees, the latter being a really great backup dlp. I also didn’t buy raya so that money wasn’t taken out the budget
currently I am trying to sell Tavares, tierney, trossard and maybe eddie
I have bought in siemans as by backup keeper, oshimen as my number 9 and kephrem Thuram as my dynamic midfielder
depth is insane at all positions now but there are potential upgrades at fullback. I hope timber is good across the back and Kiwior really did well as a big player when either cb got hurt
i also bought in ouedrougo but loaned him straight back to schalke
as it stands
ramsdale/siemans
white/tomiyasu
zinny/timber
gabby/saliba/kiwior
rice/partey
ode/vieira
thuram/nwanieri
saka/nelson
gabby/jesus/esr
osihmen/nketiah
Any recommendations ?
