"Your budget is more than enough to handle our expectations"

yeah... 125k over 3 seasons and a demand to finish 3rd when those in front have spent 70M+ is really top notch.

Whut. Why are you scoring 4 goals in 45 minutes all of a sudden. What just happened?

Not sure whether swapping Cisse for Wickham will be the wisest idea.



What is Albrighton like? Three stars but his stats look appealing.

Wickham is an advanced forward. Pretty useless as a poacher. Does a good job as a sub for Cavani though, so he's not the worst player in the world to have.

Albrighton is bad. Just bad. Stay clear.

Better suggestions for AMR?

Chamberlain.

Or Scott Sinclair (yes that Sinclair that you are being linked with in real life).

For some reason, no one buy Gaitan. Could try him, he's class.

I have a shortlist I made myself of awesome players who are dirt cheap, would have to load my game up though and I cba right now.

This shortlist, does it have any Italians on it?

Quite a few, most of them are midfielders.

Remember any of them? I have a fairly decent midfield, but De Rossi is being absurdly stupid and getting suspended every other game..

Oh and I desperately need some defenders if you happen to remember any of them. Keep in mind I don't even have a million to spend

I've been toying with getting this guy for Liverpool, thoughts?

Good player, worth a punt I reckon.

Edit:

My best central defender is 17 years old I thought he was 19 heh..

Screw it, I'll just load the game up.

What year are you in?

Cheers. 2013. Closing in on May.

I don't know what team to be.

I've done 1 with Chelsea and 1 with Granada. Would like to go with a mid table team but don't know what league.

Malagá? Certainly have the money. Germany is probably the easiest, with the financial structure being pretty good.

Edit:

OH what the... De Rossi! You're back for like 10 minutes and you get a red card! What the hell is wrong with you..

Made up over Oscar. Cisse was getting old.

Bug? Can't get past this, I never made an offer.

Holiday. Takes care of it.

Maybe, although I might end up getting bored because of the money.

I'll just continue the Granada save until I finish the season I'm on.

What do you think of this guy?

How is he only on £50k a week?

I got him from Fenerbache where he was on like 3.5k and he was like 18 when I got him, if that explains it

Marvin, could you post this shortist?

I can't continue it, I don't even know what games to try and get a draw/win and what formation/tactics to use against different teams.

Couldn't find any Italian mids within that price range. I found a few others, like Baumgartlinger, Tomas Podstawski, Enzo Perez and of course Eric which you should be able to get pretty cheaply around that year if you're not already beaten to it. But they aren't Italian, so yeah.

Not sure I have any for that cheap in 2013. They probably would have been all picked up by then but still worth checking these guys out just in case; Aymen Abdennour, Eric Mathoho & Willy Boly. Again, not Italian though.

Hernandez_14 wrote:Marvin, could you post this shortist?

It's only really useful for the first 2 years, most of the gems tend to get picked up by around the 3 or 4th season.

Still need to finetune it though, I have people like Messi on it because I scouted them once and forgot to take them off.

Edit: If you just tell me what position you need, I'll post the best players I can from the shortlist and show you his stats in 2016.

Thanks, but I'm trying to build an all Italian side, so I guess I need to keep searching. My budget is so bad

Cam wrote:What do you think of this guy?

He's a key player for your team imo.
