General Tips
- Always choose the lenient option when selecting your ‘financial strictness’. This way you get 85% of the money that the board receives from outgoing transfers to spend on new players
- Use the new 'Training' feature - even if you can't be bothered to always carry out the drills, simulate 5 drills every week, it's a useful way to help your players grow outside of matches
Budget
- Transfer budget - £32.5 million
- Wage budget – £140,000 a week
What the team needs
- A striker
- A left back
Who you should get rid of
- Federico Fazio - £4.8 million
Who you should buy (with the smaller budget)
- Definitely a better choice than Danny Rose
- Still just 20, an excellent signing for any top side
- You’ll definitely get bang for your buck here, even if you wish to use Berahino a cash-cow and move him on
Who you should buy (with the larger budget)
- You can afford to let Cerny grow on the bench before using him more regularly in a few seasons' time
- He can grow as high as 86 overall, 20 more than his starting rating of 66
- The Tottenham attack needs some additions, so if you recruit a sign-and-stash player like Laursen, you’ll be pleased you did in a few seasons
- Like Cerny, he's another high-growth player, starting off at 63 but holding the potential to climb to 83 overall
