Initial squad selection




Going into my initial selection, I knew that I’d want to be playing at least 2 strikers in most games, probably in some variation of 4-4-2, and that I wanted a mixture of youth and experience.

My number one target was Diego Buonanotte, but he was unfortunately still locked when I selected my squad. I moved on and managed to bag talented, young Brazilian playmaker Leandro Lima. With pace to burn, Lima is going to be my playmaker, linking my strikers to the rest of the team.

I quickly moved to pick up a number of quality players, including solid ‘keeper Silvio Proto (reportedly the only practising ventriloquist in Belgian league football!), young Argentinean fullback Christian Villagra and defensive rock Marco Suler.

The rest of my money went on three quality strikers – towering targetman Roland Linz, powerful forward Hugo Rodallega and the immensely promising French sriker Guillaume Hoarau. Spending the bulk of my money on attack minded players represents a risk, especially considering my wages are a hefty £55k a day. However, initial signs are promising with a good starting record and a very impressive opening match – an 8-0 win over :
