Masterclass | The Managerial Career of Nuno Espírito Santo

Simplistic yet accurate analysis.

nice to see you with another project going, try not to rage this time
what are your season goals?
would you say a top 7 finish like real life is achievable this season or did the real team overachieve?
since you're already in the prem I assume you're chasing a championship?
what kind of timeline for that?
also assume you're more looking to buy player than to try to develop youth?
what are the roster strengths and weaknesses?
what players are you looking to sell?
what positions will you be looking to bring in during the transfer window?

- Not raging
- Get a Europa League spot (top 5 or 6 finish, sometimes 7th is enough depending on who wins the cups)
- Yes I think I can do it. They're not quite as good in the game but it's doable
- Not chasing the title right now, we're not good enough
- Goal should be to challenge for the title in 2-3 seaosns
- Yeah Wolves aren't really known for youth development, will mostly be buying my key players with some academy youth sprinkled in
- Right now our strength is in midfield, wingbacks and LW (Diogo Jota). Jimenez is only a loanee so I don't have ST locked down and Adama isn't that good yet, just fast. CBs are mediocre and I could do with improvement there as well.
- Right now there's a lot of deadwood crap players in the reserves rated like 50-59. Trying to sell all of them tbh to trim down the squad.
- For the coming transfer window looking at CB primarily.

fun to do one where you're a few pieces away (hopefully) instead of rebuilding

Yeah, sometimes the total rebuilds aren't quite as fun because you end up with a totally different team.

That red card really hurt. That's a Mickey Mouse cup anyways so don't worry about it.

Yeah he was through on goal so I tackled from behind to stop it. Should've just let him score.
