Doing a Brighton save at the moment. Been playing on this for some time, so not using the winter update. After having some trouble finding the right formation, I settled on a 3-4-1-2 with to DM's and to defensive wingers at the end of season one. This has worked wonders and I managed to secure a fourth place in second season. At the moment I am battling at the top of both Premier League and the new Champions League structure. Some of my best transfers: Andreas Schjelderup (Summer 2022) Illia Zabarnyi (Summer 2022) Thomas Ouwejan (Summer 2022) Marcos Leonardo (January 2023) Altay Bayindir (Summer 2023 on a free transfer) I have now bought both Vitor Roque and Endrick. They are loaned back to their clubs, so they will join me at the summer of 2025. Here is my team and tactic. Ben White is loaned at Arsenal, but I have already agreed a deal after the season.

Had quite a summer transfer window in 2023. In: Sergej Milinkovic-Savic (Lazio) - £67.5m Diogo Costa (Porto) - £44m Kim Min-Jae (Napoli) - £40m Fabio Miretti (Juventus) - £26.5m Tino Livramento (Southampton) - £18m Sivert Mannsverk (Molde) - £5.5m Kyle Walker (Man City) - loan with obligation to buy Martin Dubravka (Newcastle) - loan Out: Edouard Mendy (Inter) - £38.5m Malang Sarr (Shakhtar) - £7m Ethan Ampadu (Tenerife) - £5m Thiago Silva - Free Jorginho - Free Kepa Arrizabalaga (Rennes) - Loan Christian Pulisic (Fulham) - Loan Tiémoué Bakayoko (Valencia) - Loan Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Besiktas) - Loan Armando Broja (Everton) - Loan Have been playing some matches with a 4-2-3-1 with very good results so far. GK: Costa, Dubravka, Slonina RB: James, Walker, Livramento CB: Fofana, Chalobah CB: Kim, Koulibaly, Colwill LB: Chilwell, Cucurella CM: Kanté, Gallagher, Mannsverk CM: Milinkovic-Savic, Kovacic, Miretti RW: Mount, Ziyech AM: Havertz LW: Sterling, Hudson-Odoi SS: Lukaku, Casadei

Finished first season and what a challenge that is. I don't think the squad is strong at all. Started without any transfer budget, as I like it like that. Promoted Casadei (and trained him as a striker), Chukwuemeka and Hutchinson to the first team squad, while I fired old coaches and hired new ones. DAMN the old ones were bad... Tried to play a 5-2-2-1 formation with the offensive wingbacks making the width. Kanté started out with a five month injury so Gallagher got a lot of playing time next to Kovacic and did OK. Havertz was great as AM or striker. Mount was also performing well. Unfortunately James did not produce as expected as wingback, and I might consider playing him as outside CB next season. His dribbling is to weak when being alone on the side, and he also not really quick. Premier League: Fouth - won the last game 4-3 against Liverpool who already was crowned champions and rested some players. Damn lucky, because both Arsenal and Newcastle could have taken my spot. FA Cup: Quaterfinal Champions League: Group stage - So disappointing.. Reached the quater finals in Europa League afterwards. Carabao Cup: Quaterfinal Sold Loftus-Cheek in january for £30m to Man City. Jorginho and Thiago Silva have signed contracts with other clubs and will leave. Will try to offload Aubameyang (almost did not play) and a lot of the loan players returning. Got Camavinga on loan in january and he was good. Will try to get him on a permanent, but I am also dreaming of Bellingham. Will also need to sign at least one new CB and an AM/striker.
