Hello people,

I am currently managing Spurs and have just finished my 2nd season. In my first season, i managed to finish 3rd and win the Europa League. Which i was pretty happy with!

In the 2nd season, i finished 2nd, and only just missed out on the league on the last game of the season (United retained). Also managed to win the Carling Cup and finish runners up in the Champions League (Madrid won 3-2)

Basically, my team is 80/90% there...Just need that final part of the puzzle to be solved so i can finally win the league, or champions league.


I play a couple of formations, but mainly 4-3-3


Here is a list of my squad


Keepers - Mandana, Gomes


Defenders - Loverns, King (Retiring), Bassong (contract expires), Kaboul, Caulker, Barta, Nkoulou, Cissoko, Walker


Midfielders - Bale, Ayew, Huddlestone, Fellaini, Sandro,Bertolacci, Strootman, Bale, Lennon, Sidney Sam


Strikers - Aguero, Daimao, Sanogo.




Some recommendations on what you guys feel will give my team that final push would be much appreciated!
 
Forgot to mention, i have 47 Million to spend!
 
How on earth did you get aguero from man city.. errr for improvements get a goal scoring winger part from bale u gt no one else. perhaps willian. or check for good regens as ur in 3 rd season.
 
Try to sign a contract with Bassong. You should already try to sign some good looking regens.
 
you need a quality centreback to partner Nicolas or Kaboul (well rotate) Lovren I assume is playing RB?

Sakho/Varane/Otamendi/Hummels/Kurt Zouma

you also need a better RW, I would sell Sam and Lennon maybe and look to bring in:

Christian Eriksen (retrained) Jesus Navas/Hulk/James Rodriguez

He wasn't being played at City, and they offered him to me for £44 Million! Couldn't believe it either to be fair lol.

I play Lovrens at CB (says he is unconvincing at RB for me).


I tried Sakho, but PSG wanted a ridiculous amount of money, same with Hummels. I settled for Astori...Managed to bring him in for £12 Million



I play with Inside Forwards, i was thinking of bringing in Hulk, but Lennon and Sam have played amazingly well....Both had average ratings of 7+ and scored a fair few goals between them!



Just signed Pastore for £8 Million as well.... Couldnt turn down it down.
 
lennon is always disappointing for me, particularly when asked to play an IF role. 7+ alone isnt good enough, your wingers should be 7.3+ and my guess is that lennon isnt getting you that. Dempsey did it for me, but douglas costa is a great buy as well for that position. Raheem Sterling as well (though he is right footed).

Who is your playmaker? IMO you seem to be missing a through ball machine from CM. Strootman? Ive never used him so forgive me if he fills that role, otherwise you are lacking.

Also, you should do better with the spurs IMO. I have a hard time with the CL but they won me the league by 10 points 3 years in a row to start the game last save i did with spurs.

Lennon has been good for me! His values about 14-15 Million now as well, always interest from City in him as well. He only managed 8 League goals last season though!

Yeah i agree i miss the creativity from the midfield, I've started playing Aguero as a Trequartisa behind Daimao and he's already managed a few assists, and im sure he'll chip in with some goals also.


I agree i could be doing better, but 2 trophies in 2 seasons...and runner up in the league and champions leage isnt to shabby either!
 
look at Moutinho/Elbin Ekdal (extremely underrated player)
 
Where is Lloris & Vertongen? (Ahh no update)

CB = Nicolás Otamendi and for the love of god, hang on to Kaboul (Top 10 CB). Id also keep Bassong. He has high PA if trained correctly.

Winger = Antoine Griezmann (Left) but id sell Lennon, get the money while you can. And perhaps go for Nicolás Gaitán / Xherdan Shaqiri. Michael Krohn-Dehli wouldnt be a bad choice (Cheap) Hes sold to Celta Vigo this season.

Your midfield is to defensive as you said your self. It lacks creativity. And since you have Sandro & Fellaini (Top 15 best DM's) You are more then covered there. Luka is hard to replace, so is Van der Vaart.

Id look at Kevin De Bruyne (AM) if he is payable, Dries Mertens (AM) or Sergio Canales (AM)
They shouldnt drain your funds. Rasmus Elm (MC) Or Radja Nainggolan (MC)

Regarding strikers.
The most scoring ones ive had in most of my spurs saves is Seydou Doumbia & Adebayor. 30+ish.
Kenneth Zohore after 2 or 3 seasons.. He is a goal machine (Sold to Fiorentina)
And ive always liked Aleksandr Kerzhakov (Expensive) but he delivers.

And get Lucas Andersen, Viktor Fischer & Andreas Cornelius (12 goals in 9 matches this season so far) (regens).

I hope you find this helpfull.
No need to drain your money on star players where there is so much Potential out there.
 
2 words- Marvin Martin. I was able to get him for 5 million (although in second season, not third), and he is now valued at 30. Tremendous quality and creativity in the center of the park, which is IMO what you're missing most. Possibly a King replacement, Vertonghen is great if the price is right.
