Players for Everton: Season 2

Hey all I'm just entering the second season on a Everton save I started and need some advice.

This is my formation and starting line up currently, you can't see it but Weiss is on the wing and Nem is in the AMLC position :


Not sure if you can see properly but its basically an asymmetrical 4-4-2, i finished 9th in the first season due to not really getting to grips with the tactics and what not but that besides the point i need new players for next season and i need some opinions and some advice on who to get.

Transfers In: I already have Ademilson as a cover for Jelavic and have Mattia Destro joining on July 1st, plus with Miralles and Nem able to play upfront i should be fine, but i do need cover / better players for my midfield and i want to know about Gaston Ramirez. would anyone recommend him? Also i need another defender (at least 1), another Anchor man and a youngster who can play RB and LB.

Transfers Out: I'm gonna wait for my budget to be set before tying to by anyone else but depending on my budget i may have to sell some players. I've already offloaded Gibson, Vellios, Osman, Hibbert, Anichebe, Pienaar and Gueye, I'm looking to ship out Naismith as well and i'm considering letting either Fellani or Baines go (only for £30M or more up front), would anyone recommend this?

Any and all help is apprieciated

Check if Bocchetti has signed a new contract with Rubin yet, he's an excellent free transfer otherwise.

If you're looking for a reasonably priced, pure anchor man then Mate Simao is a good option. Plays for a Chinese club and shouldn't cost much more than £3M.

I missed out on Bocchetti but i've made an offer for Simao.

I was looking to see if i could get Jadson from Botofogo to replace Fellani and use the remaining funds to get a few other younger players in but Tottenham were the only ones willing to pay £30m for him but they pulled out so i might get Simao and a cheap defender and leave it at that, oh i got Fabio on Loan from Man Utd as cover / competition at RB.

In the end i sold Naismith and brought in Matt Upson as a stop gap defender for the year, Simao as an extra DM - Anchor and loaned Fabio for R/LB and used the rest to bring in Jack Butland as a long term GK, oh and i'm hoping to get Nico Gaitan on loan

Gaitan went to Juve..........Bastards!

I'm managing Everton atm as well and I actually won the league in the second season which was a surprise.

Signed Fierro for like 3mil in the first season and just kept playing him and he gets pretty good in season 2. Also got Destro (Italian Striker) and Weiss on a free.

I played a 4-2-4 formation with Destro/Jelavic and Fierro up front, Naismith and Weiss on the wings and Fellaini and Barkley in the middle.

Hope this gives you some ideas.

I'm into my 7th season and that season was my only league win.. Man city have won it all the other times..
