Second season in the EPL. I wonder what great events will happen. I decided to change my defensive, counter-attacking formation to a more attacking formation. It was kinda from VM’s 4-1-2-2-1 formation but I decided to move one up front to ensure that there is someone to help out and control each of their own area. Teams Instruction. I decided to use a playmaker which totally help. The results were brilliant during the pre-season. One of the matches was against Wycombe and the Saints totally hammered them 8-1! So, I love this formation 😀 !

I gotten around 30 million to spend as I believe that Saints can get in the top half of the table. I also hope to get the Euro Vase! Transfers were done in stages. I checked the quality of Southampton. They lacked defensive qualities and they don’t have a good AMR or AMC. In fact there isn’t a single AMR. MR players couldn’t adapt to the position, I needed to buy one. Other than that there is the AMC. I found some hot prospects for this such as Martin Galvan but wasn’t of present quality. There was one totally hot prospect from Shalke in the name of L.Kenia. Wonderkid quality. Totally young, 19 I think and had brilliant qualities. Still, he haven’t reached his peak. I wanted him but his price could have totally make a big hole in the transfer chest. Around 18.5 mill. Even if I tried to negotiate, they disagreed. Soon, Leverkusen bought him.

First off, selling players. Wijnaldum was totally unhappy when I rejected Bolton’s enquiry. So, I decided to sell him since a very poor player is equilvalent to a stupid player. So, Reading came knocking and they got theirs. He was my only AMR but another person’s loss is another person’s gain.

Maceo Rigters

Gotten him from Ipswich. He got that good attributes. He could also finish well. He was my number one choice for AMR. In the pre-season, he gotten the man-of-the-match award for almost all of the matches. GS was pleased by this transfer and the fans also love him.

Simon Kjaer

Got him from Murcia.  Many FM gamers and guides found him a hot prospect. He was attracting attention from A.Madrid and I decided to come in first as his release clause was only $7 Mill! So, I got him first. He build up a good partnership with H. Nordtveit during the pre-season matches. Amazing, he scored from corners better than Nordtveit even though Nordtveit’s heading stats were far better than him. So, I believe I manage to found the player that can help to lessen the leaks.

Steed Malbranque

Found him transfer-listed ($1.9 mill). I needed him since Martin Galvan wasn’t premiership quality yet. At 30 years old, he still holds great stats. He have a healthy dose of 16s. Even though he don’t has the speed, he has the creativity and technique. Started off brilliantly in the pre-seasons.

Overall, the transfers was quite good. If you realize there was one player which might be costly. Brian Smith, a right back which has great potential to be a world-class full back. 25 million maybe costly but anything will do for a quality player. Now, staff thinks he’s equivalent to A.Davies. So, he’s still good enough to play Premiership. So, with the players I’ve bought, I think we’re good to get that top-table place.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

No, I’m not buying an old player. I just bought a great staff. He help me in the set pieces training. From 3 stars to 6 stars. Thats double. Great personnel.

The media thinks a place higher than last year’s prediction. Totally bogus. The stadium is going renovation. I hope they can expand it bigger since the club’s sponsor has change and the amount of money left drop drasticly for a moment. Also, Jack Cork has become the man of the club at only a tender age of 21! To be honest, I wonder why Matt Le Tissier wasn’t in the Favourite Personnel list.
