I remember desperately wanting to sign him last year on my long term Salford City save. Managed to unsettle him after PSG failed to win anything for a couple of seasons in a row whereas I was fresh from winning the Europa League and Champions League in successive seasons. He cost me a full seasons transfer budget on top of any money I had made through player sales but he was different class. Then FM20 came out and I'm currently awaiting the transfer update so I can try again! I think it depends on your save and what your preferences are. I try and buy youth to develop with the odd 26+ year old here and there but I think he's a hard player to not want in your side given his quality.

Just found another Spanish gem in the lower leagues - Nacho Huertas who is at Villarrobledo. Very tidy looking left winger that I'll certainly be looking at bringing in, with his contract also expiring in 2020.

So I've just started my Salford City save having spent a bit of time getting to grips with the game and wanted to share a couple of players I've picked up so far. Bicho - Free Transfer - I think he's mentioned somewhere on this forum already, commanded quite a high wage (£2.3k per week iirc), but is an absolute stand out in League Two. Very technical AMC capable of playing on both flanks. Sergio - £450 (yes that's right, £450!) - Another Spaniard whom is far too good for League Two. Has only just joined Sant Julia, the Andorran side he's currently at so persuading him to come was a bit of a long term plan but finally managed to grab him in December ready for January. Very attacking AML/AMC boasting some very tidy stats and would still cut it at Championship level, same as Bicho.

How is everyone getting Mason Mount to perform? He's currently been my best performer with 4 goals and two assists in 5 appearances playing as an Inverted Winger (AML). Cannot get Abraham going at all though despite me really wanting to build the team around Tomori, Mount and Abraham. Also, I've noticed a few big names being transfer listed, with Paul Pogba being one - very unfortunate with the transfer ban being active but I'm hoping I can get this removed prior to February.

Also playing as Chelsea and can recommend so far:- Zelijko Buvac - Assistant Manager - Free Jorge Andrade - Coach - Free Jose Boto - Chief Scout - Shakhtar

I'm literally having a nightmare with this in my 7th season with Salford City. I've got a Peruvian centre back who I've fined two weeks wages about 12 times this season and am desperately trying to flog - I did laugh though as the last time he did it he had returned to training the very same day, only to naff off again the same day!

Apologies, this question was meant for @mm7games

Do you mind if I ask where you got those Nationality logos from? Have been looking for those for at least a couple of versions now.

Hi guys, I've been pretty inactive in here due to not having the time to play. Tried to continue my old Salford save but just couldn't get into it knowing the new update was out and have once again gone for Salford. I've picked up a couple of real quality Spanish players from the lower leagues - Miguel Real and Eric Llopis. Miguel Real is an AMC from Silva in the Lower Leagues and Eric Llopis is a Winger from Binefar. Both available on free transfers and are easily good enough for a few leagues above.

In terms of the players mentioned - Miguel Real and Eric Llopis. Miguel Real is an AMC from Silva in the Lower Leagues and Eric Llopis is a Winger from Binefar. Both available on free transfers and are easily good enough for a few leagues above.

I've picked up a couple of real quality Spanish players from the lower leagues and I'll drop the names of these in later, they're definitely worth a look from the first season.

I've always found a good counter attacking formation to be reliant on both quick and intelligent players that know when to push forward and track back (even despite tactical tweaks). As I said in a previous post, the quality of Salford's team in the lower leagues is good enough to dominate games without needing to catch teams on the counter and most of my tactics were set up to get as much service to Adam Rooney as possible.

I played Adam Rooney as an Advanced Forward all the way through the leagues and he was very consistent. I've found him far too slow for the Poacher role.

Will try and grab this for you later on tonight bud. With regards to the takeover, I had an attempted takeover collapse and Peter Lim is still very much involved. Decent luck with cup draws and the results I've had have definitely helped the bank balance and this should be do-able for most due to the calibre of players you are able to attract in the lower leagues. The good thing about having Peter Lim still in place is that he's still classed as a tycoon and it's handy to have the injections up the leagues when finances aren't particularly great.

Think this might now mean Scholes will take over at Oldham! I'm due an update on my progress with Salford, currently sat in the European Places in my first season in the Premier League. Plenty of players mentioned in here to help with your first season!
