Can't decide which of these two to get. Both are showing as the same Potential and there's only about £1m in price difference. I play 1 upfront in a 4-3-3.

Depends what role you're playing. I like Fantoni and I think he'd play better as a lone striker out of the two but you'd need to train his stamina and I can't see Henriques getting the same teamwork, technique etc but you could make Henriques into a nice poacher.

2 options for the left back slot:

Player Name: Luis Miguel Ayala

Team: Independiente del Valle

Expected price (scout report): 200K

OR

Player Name: Ludwig Augustinsson

Team: FC Kobenhavn

Expected price (gauging from scout report): 2.5 million

Both seem to have potential. Unsure on Ayala being able to get a work permit though. Would he get it, anyone knows? He is better at Marking, Tackling and Passing, but Augustinsson has somewhat better mental stats, and is great at Crossing/Free Kicks.

Player Name: Breel Embolo

Buyer/Seller: Real Madrid / Barcelona

Player's Value: £32m

Offer: £60m

Patch: 16.2.0

It's a huge amount of money, but he's very special and only 21. I would need a world class AMC / SS / Backup ST as he currently does all these roles.

Transfer/Wage Budget: around 1M EUR left

Patch: 16.2

Season: 16/17

I have Shawcross, J. Evans and Scott Dann in the team + some youngsters with around -9 PA. Also I might loan in some quality CB like Mammana. I could use the money for some upgrades, but I wonder if I should keep him cause he might help in CL.

Don't think it's a good deal at all, I'd want the money upfront.

I'd politely decline then.

I will probably decline it and hopefully bigger offer will come with around 20M upfront, but now I need to somehow pack those four (Shawcross, Evans, Dann and Balanta) to the squad. All of them have similar rating so I have no idea.

Thanks for your insight.

Unless you have another CB in mind that is better and/or cheaper, I'd keep him.

I actually scouted this guy last night as he's flying high on my Portsmouth save but I'd take 70million without a shadow of a doubt. Take it and run!

I'll let it be :cool:.

Check where Marco Asensio, Andrija Balic, Marc Stendera, Bernado Silva, Lincoln(Gremio), Rafinha and Moreto Cassama are - they could be your replacement :D.

Heck with the money you have check where Embolo is :).

I have eyed up Blackburn but their debt and modest talent levels have scared me away. Not the right place for it but would be curious to read an update of your save.

But I do agree with SpillBlood - that's really good money for a really good player. Very few players in the game are actually irreplaceable. Yeah, big clubs hoard the young talent and may snipe some guys you want, but that can also pay off later if they don't play, get unhappy, and get TL'd. Its just a matter of putting in the time to scout around effectively. If you've built a good scouting network, you may already have some good options like SB listed. And it never hurts to take a Southampton approach and ear-mark potential replacements before you ever sell the player you currently have.

Any replacements? I thought about bringing in Vitolo (25M transfer clause) + Mertens. I have Bolasie and Carrasco already.

EDIT: Alvaro Morata is transfer listed, but 68M EUR is requested. I would bring him in and move Embolo to the right. What do you think?

Yes! I mean if you need HG you could easily replace him with Nathan Redmond.

I'd say that's a bit expensive.

I mean upfront you could try bring in Andre Silva, Rui Pedro, Jonathan Calleri, Manolo Gabbiadini, Luciano Vietto, Timo Werner, Richairo Zivkovic, Luan(depends where he's moved) and heck you'd probably get Harry Kane for cheaper.

On the right you could bring in Nathan Redmond, Lucas Ocampos, Domenico Berardi, Quincy Promes, Gabriel Barbosa(depends where he's moved) etc.

Morata is a good but not that sort of money.

Player Name: Romelu Lukaku.

Buyer/Seller: Manchester City.

Player's Value: £37,000,000.

Offer: £64,000,000.

Patch: Latest.

Season: January 2019.

Bid made.

Lukaku's attributes.

It's only an initial bid so I can probably squeeze a few more pound out of them, just wondering if this would be too good to turn down. He scored 32 goals for me in the league last season, and is good for 18 in 17 appearances so far in the league this season. I've got a young striker that isn't ready yet, and Depay can play up front as I have depth on the wider forward places.

Like DavidPengilley said, sell. You could buy almost anyone to replace him and still have cash to burn.

If Man City offered Arsenal £90,000,000 up front for Walcott in real life, they'd be chomping their hands off. Absolute no-brainer :)

Have you had a look at whether Scuffet, Donnarumma, Dragowski or Alex Meret are available?

Probably couldn't justify spending £66,500,000 on a goalkeeper, no matter how good he is.

Predrag Rajkovic, Geronimo Rulli, Jack Butland, Jan Oblak, Bernd Leno, Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Timo Horn too name a few more.

100% no. Way too much money on a goalkeeper.

Donnarumma would be 36m, Oblek 17.5m, so I'm leaning towards Oblek. Having said that, GK is the only position I need any investment so I may as well spend all my money there...

Oblek would be a steal for that. Donn has huge potential, he has potiential to be better than Rajkovic on my save who's brilliant. Milan don't seem to help him get to it though :(.

Background: took over Chelsea midway through first season when JM got the boot. The style of play is not suited for DC and he is very inconsistent - bagging 12 goals in 33 matches. Roman kinda killed the party when he gave me "only" 50m to rebuild the team, when I need to buy some very good defenders etc.

I also received an offer of 77 million for Matic - who'll turn 28 this season. He's exceptionally good, but I can't turn down that? Who would you buy to replace him? I can't find any standout DMs right now.

Pack Costa off, and Matic can follow him too. Thats over 150m for you replace them, actually to hell with that, with 150m I could revamp the entire squad:lol:

For replacement DMs since you have shedload of cash once you sell those 2, look at the usual suspects of Lucas Romero, Blaise Matuidi, or if you want a purely defensive minded one Lars Bender (or his slightly inferior twin Sven) are both excellent as Anchor Mans.

Yup no brainer for me there, that's a lot of cash and you will find replacements who fit the bill. Bender is a great option if he's reasonably priced who will be a good first team player while you continue to scout out young options

He's one of, if not the best English winger in my save. It really is a dilemma.

I wouldn't purely because you don't need the money and he should only be 25/26 which means he's entering his prime.

Yer, I wouldn't. Maybe look to see how Ibe has developed.

He's been magnificent.

Ibe is on the transfer list for a measly £12m, but has hardly played any football and his lack of determination, concentration and bravery put me off.

I think you're right, I'm going to reject it.

WHat about Embolo, Vela, Luan, Ocampos, Gerson? If you can't get any of them cheaper, then I wouldn't sell... You don't really need money, so if you can't make enough profit after getting a replacement, then stick with Ox.

No, you couldn't replace him. Only Redmond could come close and he still isn't Ox.

Already got Embolo, he plays AMC.

Vela I won't touch as his teamwork and work rate are non existent, Luan is no cheaper. Gerson lacks determination.

Ocampos is the only one I'd consider...

I'm sticking with Ox.

Well, Embolo works wonders on MR/AMR with Martial infront. You could also check Lincoln from Gremio to play AMC and move Embolo. But yeh it might be too much efford. Better stick with Ox :)
