tbh, he is literally the only decent player you can get for that money at the start of the game. unless you go free transfer which I can advise you on the best options there.

I've loaded up a game as Watford and this is what my inbox says when I signed him-

this is his coaching report-

I've just bought him second season in with Dortmund. I am gunna play him as an advanced playmaker in a 4-2-3-1 formation with him just behind the striker.
I will let you know how he gets on but at the minute he has to oust Henrikh Mkhitaryan which is no mean feat seeing as he is arguably the best in that position.

I still have Shinji Kagawa also so because of his age, he is 3rd choice. his stats are awesome and have taken a hefty boost since FM14 but I think he is riding on the crest of a wave of James Rodriguez seeing as he had an incredible world cup.

I picked him up for a lofty fee of £15m so I do expect a long term investment. first season with Porto, he was pretty average, but I like to have 3 good players for every position. I originally bought Gaston Ramirez for the 3rd choice as he was on the 'list' but he kept demanding first team football so I got rid.

will he be any good? I bleeding hope so seeing as I forked out £15m for him! I probably could have negotiated a bit less but I was playing in a network game and time was of the essence.

my best recommendation for you at the start of a new game would be this guy-

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/ELOUrMekAFb8zpDPmXEE9kaK7xqxwe6n5zV1go1w.png

Danilo Pereira. you can pick him up for between £1m to £1.5m at the start of the game. he will be a bit reluctant to join at first but if you talk to him after making a bid and suggest that he could become a club icon/ legend then he will be up for it then.

his wage demands are fairly low so he isn't greedy. he is young, Portuguese and has some good all round stats and your fans and coaches will instantly rate him. with the right development he can become a great player.

hope this helps.

and we end disappointingly with nigel reo coker. tbf he looks good for any championship team needing a bit of bite in midfield.

ok, yet another American here.. I don't know why I have so many! Brad can play either on the wing or at right back, Klinsmann started Evans during a friendly against Germany and a qualification match against Jamaica as a right back instead of his usual midfield positions, which proved beneficial as he scored his first international goal in the latter match, a 2–1 win for the United States in stoppage time.

this is a bizarre one. son of Ian Wright has recently equalled the MLS scoring record in a regular season when he scored 27 goals in 32 appearances for New York Red Bulls...with these stats in FM, I doubt it in game!

this Swedish youngster has been showing remarkable promise. not an international yet but if he is highly rated by his club. some good stats if not outstanding.

a BATE and Belarus stalwart. cracking all round stats for a striker. a good dribbler with an eye for goal. he is a better passer than his score of 11 suggests.

lets move on to strikers. Dom Dwyer. now this lad is an interesting one. he never made the grade at Norwich, but at sporting Kansas, he has been prolific. an English striker who has been 'over there' longer than here, he got into trouble for taking a 'selfie' after he scored. defo worth considering.

not an international as he controversially withdrew himself from 2 recent friendlies for South Africa so he has been banned. but FM wise, he looks a good all round midfielder.

born and raised in Norway and highly rated by Klinsmann. he was quoted as saying, "with mix we have a player who I think is a special talent, has special vision, he can pass between people." Enough said.

ahh, Giles Barnes. hard to believe he's still only 25. he was destined for greatness in his time at derby but injuries and circumstances robbed him of that. but looking at his stats and bearing in mind you can get in for free in January, id say he still looks quality after his prolonged period in America.

ok I have named this lad before in my FM14 recommendations and yet still he hasn't gained a cap for Peru which I find baffling. at 22 he has all the right makings of a decent future AMC and will grace any side with the right nurturing.

Anthony didn't make it to Brazil but, he combines midfield artistry with some great combative displays. a cracking ball winning defensive midfielder which are a must for any team.
