I'm managing Southampton, just before the January transfer window of Season 3.(December 2014)
I won the League Cup last season so I'm in the Europa League and got 5 wins and 1 draw in the group.
I have an amazing academy and the most promising scouted player I've ever seen, 16 years old and rated 70 OVR.

I did cheat and get a take-over which vastly improved my team, but only really attack-wise.
My team:
Wiedenfeller (82)
Grimaldo (74)
Forren (82)
Maicon (82) Napoli player, not Man City
Shaw (76)
Cork (79)
Ward-Prowse (76)
Dzagoev (86)
Ramirez (85)
Bale (92)
Bony (85)
And the rest of the squad...
Gomes (78), Yoshida (79), Sterling (80), Paredes (79), Adryan (78) Cebellos (72) Davis (73) and then mostly academy players rated 70 and under.
If you have approx. 13-14 million get Wilfried Bony, plays for Vitesse and is an absolute beast, strong, great aerial presence, great finisher and surprisingly quick. Also, Gaston Ramirez gets brilliant aswell, sign him.
Currently 6th in the league, out of the Capital one cup, through to the next round of the Europa League, hoping to clinch Champions League football for next season.
