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
Remember, it's not always the wisest move to spend all your transfer budget in summer as you could need a few replacements come January, so if possible, save a few of those pennies for a rainy day!
Budget
Transfer budget - £43m
Wage budget – £210k/week
What the team needs
Centre midfielder
Winger
Who you should get rid of
Tiago - £6m
Gabi - £10m
Who you should buy (with the smaller budget)
Barkley adds a sense of dynamism to Atletico's midfield which they currently don't have. Barkley sitting jus behind Griezmann and Vietto/Jackson could be what’s needed to hustle back the La Liga title to the Vicente Calderon from Real Madrid/Barcelona
Bernard is something of a steal at £11m, as he has the potential to easily grow to 85-87, and is a nice option either to start with or bring off the bench as a 'plan B'
If it only costs £1.3m to recall your best defender, then take that chance. This isn't real life, so get Miranda back to the Vicente Calderon ASAP
Who you should buy (with the larger budget)
You don't have to spend all £16m at once you get from Gabi/Tiago, so invest in a prospect like Guedes to work on over the next 2-3 seasons. He's a little raw, but can grow as high as 88 so sign him up now whilst he's cheap
Traore is another like Guedes who's someone you sign now and grow for a few seasons. He's capable of playing up-front and grows as high as 85/86
