    Finished 3rd with Djuricic coming runner up in player of the year. Signing Lacazette from Lyon and Facundo Ferreyra. Does anyone know a decent CM with good stamina and fitness? Don't mind how much but nice and young! 5th season btw...

    Good old Djuricic. What sort of CM?

    Yeah on the second one we have an Underwriter sugar daddy. Which imo is pretty fair.

    Hmmm, could put Rasmus Elm there, and then buy an AM. Pastore want to leave AC Milan, but it will take up a chunk of my budget. Tempting though, what to do?

    You play a 4-2-3-1 right? Who's your other MC? It's all about finding a good balance.

    Currently Elm and Fellaini, but just accepted a 16m offer from Valencia for Fellaini, so could get Pastore and use him as a playmaker.

    I think it's pretty important that one of your two MCs be a holding player.

    Elm can be used as a holding player, while I'd want the other one to be an advanced playmaker maybe?

    Had a £20m bid accepted for Pastore, and he's willing to come. I think that's the most I've ever spent on a player in FM!

    He'd better be with the kind of money I'm paying him! Wait, as I'm typing he just scored his 3rd goal in 2 pre-season games.

    I've used two CMs for about 15 seasons now, same combo. One CM defensive, one AP normal.

    Cheers for the advice on teams to manager a few pages back. Funnily enough I ended up getting hold of a copy of Championship Manger 2 (96/97) English and Scottish leagues and managed Rangers as I used to when I was a kid! (Big budget, easy league...) and managed to win the European Cup, League and League Cup in the first season. Have a pretty successful second season too but decided to give Saints ago, had a look at the squad and makes me wonder how we used to stay up back then!

    Going to be a challenge with a £1M budget!
