Southampton FC

Pre-season friendlies are going well for my first season in charge.

I have opted for a custom 442 formation with one attacking midfielder just behind the front two.

Osvaldo has scored 6 goals in 2 games so far so I might change things up later so he is a sole striker with plenty of midfield support.

considering that Southampton doesn't practically have any wingers, I'm playing a 4-1-2-1-2 formation with 2 full WBs, 1 DM that plays as a ball winning mid, 2 MCs, one deep lying playmaker, one box to box mid, 1 advanced playmaker,2 strikers (poacher and AF).

Try to keep Schnederlein and Wanyama, buy another Poacher. Keep Shaw for 2 seasons then you can sell him for 45 M €
