In the 2015-2016 season, Leicester became the cheapest team to have won a Premier League title, since 1995.
Let's see if we can emulate that for fun here.
Input welcomed as I am not an expert and will edit this post accordingly.
A few key players with "interesting" stories;
Goalkeeper (Kasper Schmeichel) : have to be the son of a former great goalkeeper and coming from a non-first tier league
Centre Back (Robert Huth) : over 1.9m tall and a big player. Aging but have won more than 1 league title
Centre Back (Wes Morgan) : from the Caribbean or North America, Captain material
Right Back (Danny Simpson) : a product of a top club that have been going on loans for years and in his prime playing age
Central Midfield (Danny Drinkwater) : a product of a top club that have been going on loans for years and in his prime playing age
Defensive Midfield (N'Golo Kante) : short, under 1.7m, fast and with good stamina. From a small club in Europe
Right Wing (Riyad Mahrez) : descendent from a North African country, playing in a second tier European league. Stylish play, flair
Secondary Striker (Shinji Okazaki) : Asian playing in Europe. Fast and hardworking to give defenders the runaround and frustrate them
Forward (Jamie Vardy) : late bloomer, coming from a non-first tier league in England, controversial and great pace
Just remembered I posted this 4 months ago.
Maybe something to think about for January.
We are not far off in terms of similar ability players
Rico
Odoi Chambers Mawson Bryan
Cairney Seri Anguissa Sessegnon
Schurrle Mitrovic
"Centre Back (Robert Huth) : over 1.9m tall and a big player. Aging but have won more than 1 league title"
- Gary Cahill?
"Right Wing (Riyad Mahrez) : descendent from a North African country, playing in a second tier European league. Stylish play, flair"
- Must be Zinedine Ferhat. Algerian and playing for the same club as Mahrez came from (Le Havre).
Cahill a good fit and great pro!
"Secondary Striker (Shinji Okazaki) : Asian playing in Europe. Fast and hardworking to give defenders the runaround and frustrate them"
- Shoya Nakajima
10 goals, 12 assists last season in Portuguese Primeira Liga. Young, won't be cheap.
- Takashi Inui
5 goals, 2 assists last season in Spanish LaLiga. Late bloomer like Okazaki, cheaper.
