da betobet: Fresh off the back of their remarkable victories over Chelsea and Manchester United, Bournemouth are on cloud nine right now.
da blaze casino: Unfortunately, your first save as their manager on FM16 is unlikely to be so plain sailing all the way through. With injuries to Callum Wilson and Tyrone Mings from the start of your save, securing safety is quite a challenge in itself and you may be left in a final day decider to stay in the Premier League.
However, the budget the board entrusts you with is more than enough to strengthen the squad satisfactorily and hopefully give the Cherries the sort of depth that can keep them up.
The lack of experience in the squad is likely to be your biggest concern and it might be a good plan to find a few players from the highest standing of international football to bolster your squad.
Here are FIVE star signings for peanuts…
Christian Poulsen
Despite a calamitous time in England with Liverpool, Poulsen is a decent free transfer signing on FM16.
The Dane makes up for his poor physical ratings with some very impressive mental stats and would be the perfect defensive midfielder to help secure games and try to avoid the defensive performances we have seen from Howe’s side at times this season.
Wages might be a bit high if you are facing a lot of competition for his signature, but the experience that Poulsen brings is invaluable to such a young side.
Ashley Cole
Cole is regularly available from the start of your save on FM16.
The ex-Gunner still possesses stats of great quality and is available for only a few hundred thousand. Roma are willing to move on the multiple PL winner because of his high wages and this might be a challenge for you considering the Cherries’ low wage budget.
Defence is so crucial for any newly promoted side and Cole’s experience, like Poulsen, will be a brilliant addition.
Sebastian Bassong
Although Norwich might be reluctant to let their main centre-back go, Bassong would be a very reasonable signing for Bournemouth.
The powerful defender would be an ideal man to build your back line around and gives the added bonus of taking a key player away from a rival.
Although there may be cheaper options at centre-half, Bassong is one of the few who is available at his peak and has little risk of declining rapidly in ability.
Luka Jovic
With the long-term injury to Callum Wilson, adding a striker is crucial in your save.
Jovic will not truly impress until the second or third season, but this wonderkid still becomes a world superstar, as he did on FM15.
His electric pace stretches defences throughout your save and develops into one of the games’ best finishers.
Dominic Solanke
Like Jovic, this is definitely a signing for the future.
The Chelsea youngster possesses excellent physical stats and, although he is unlikely to make it at Stamford Bridge, will become a quality addition for a side of Bournemouth’s standing.
Mourinho is unlikely to take advantage of Solanke’s quality and, it might take a loan at first, the starlet could be tempted by the prospect of regular football.
