Tried doing it. By doing so, I could see that you need another CB as you only have 3, also Vermaelen always seems be be injured, which makes recruitment in this area even more important. The first team feels incomplete, as in, you most certainly need a striker that's a step or two above Giroud. Possibly a younger, destroyer DM would be useful too (I understand you enquired about Mascherano? Not that he's young) as your DMs are getting on a bit.
If you were to fill those voids, then you could potentially make the transition from a top 4 side to a title-challenger (Probably not a title-winner though).
