I'm a Football Manager junkie and the January transfer updates has just come through meaning a nice update for our superstar youth Campbell.
I had an idea that I'd like to ask you lot, who would you get rid of and who (realistically) would you like to bring in this summer? I'll piece together what I think is the best squad and send through some screenshots of our progression throughout the season.
So lets have it, list your realistic signings and outgoings.
PS, we are staying up you miserable f***s so don't give me any s**t about a league 1 squad.

I used Etebo, Badou and Woods in my 2nd season on FM.
Butland
Tymon
BMI
Collins
Smith
Woods
Etebo
Badou
Ünüvar
Campbell
Ince
Davies, Williams (Man Utd), Batth, Allen, Clucas, Verlinden, Vokes.
The above is my FM team. Tymon is much better than in real life!
Somerset - if you’d like to try a formation have a look for one named TT AVANTGARDE. It’s been brilliant for me. It’s a 433 but with no central AM which is why Powell missed out. Naci Ünüvar needs to be signed straight away, signed him for peanuts and sold to Man Utd for £56m after four seasons. Rayan Cherki is better but Man City always seem to get him quickly.

Is it your view or just his link to MON? In my view, we need 2 new full backs, a proper midfield destroyer, a wide player, probably for right side (verlinden can play either side so that gives us 3 options for 2 positions) and another striker to compete with Campbell. If jack goes, we need a new keeper with bursik being promoted to back up. |

BPF has not played a game for Burnley after his move, and may fancy a chance of a first team spot here, and with MON as manager there is an obvious connection. I think we will sell more than we bring in, with the higher earners favourites for the exit, to bring the age and cost of the squad down and alleviate any FFP concerns. |

There is probably a reason why he hasn't played a single game for Burnley and barely even featured on the bench. Leeds got rid of him because he was a calamity, error strewn keeper. His redeeming feature, I suppose, is that he's pretty young. I'd rather we give Bursik a go than sign him. |

I trust whatever squad MON has by the end of August, but assuming we won't sign many, and I don't know much about other teams whose players we could nick:
Butland
Edwards/Bauer/Justin (loan)/Matheson - Shawcross - Collins/Souttar - Dasilva/Justin (loan)
Allen - Clucas
Benrahma - Powell - McClean
Campbell
Bench: Davies, two from Lindsay/Collins/Souttar/BMI/Smith/Tymon/Bauer/Matheson, Oakley-Boothe/Cousins, Verlinden/Ince, Afobe/Vokes, Ngoy
Everyone else is gone, I guess.

He wasn't on the game when I checked before the January update. I'm planning on having a good session this weekend, so I'll let you know if they've added him now. Interesting that you want to get rid of the Welsh Jesus |

I'd love it if we could nab Benrahma, only 24 years old and looks like a proper player. I'd imagine he'll be off to someone like Sheff Utd, Everton, West Sham, etc |

If i can find the time, my plan with this is to take the realistic squads you all set out and simulate a season with each and post the results here.

Interesting that you want to get rid of the Welsh Jesus I think Allen will want out next season whether we stay up or not personally, and plus I always get rid of him on FM anyway  |

Lets create instead of buying.
If we buy, buy someone who will play or at least put on the bench and play.
Federici
Smith
Collins
Martins-Indi
Tymon
Clucas
Etebo
Campbell
Powell
Verlinden
Kyeremateng
Bursik; Souttar, Batth, (new left back *ideally, someone like Alphonso Davies*), Ngoy, Allen, Sorensen, (new right winger), McClean, (new striker).

Obafemi at Soton on loan would be nice, only played a dozen or so games but doubt would let him go. Will Smallbone just to see 20 stone, shaven headed blokes with his name on their shirts |

Doing well lately and I have got him as one of the 6 players I would keep. We keep getting told that the premiership is our ambition and if that is the case then we need 7 or 8 new players in the starting 11 which, for me, would not include him. Happy for him to get game time and a great addition if we were to pick up injuries though, but we really need to be aiming to get some special talent in and players and a team that are worth paying money to watch - going to be extremely difficult with FFP and the amount of crap we have on our books that we can't give away |
