Squad Analysis

Very rare you would find a big club having many players with no dead wood at all. And in that case you would even love managing them then look no further let me introduce to you Bayer 04, this club in Bundesliga has a massive squad filled with young talents like Jedvaj, Cąlhanoglu, Kramer, Drmic, Leno, Son and experienced players like Castro, Reinartz, Kießling, Saphic and more. They look fantastic, they play fantastic and if you love this game then Bayer Leverkusen definitely deserves a go. Honestly they are the future of European Football!. Most of you haven't managed them but it's high time to get out of your comfort zone and make them the best of the best. Now without further ado lets take a brief look at the players of Bayer Leverkusen.

Squad Players (Defense)

Tin Jedvaj (D/DMRC): One of the best talent FMH has to offer to us. He is versatile, consistent and you are lucky to have this future World-Class in your squad.

Guilio Donati (D/DMR): A 16 in stamina and a 17 in Pace also 16 in Tackling this guy is a great Wingback. And he has a pretty bright future as his stats are pretty high and he is young.

Sebastian Boenisch (D/DMRC): An utility guy for this club considering he plays in almost every position. He has pretty great attributes as a Wingback and a Winger. Best part he gets quality assists for your striker.

Emir Saphic (SW/DC): This Bosnian International may be 31 but a clean 20 in tackling and additionally some other mouth watering attributes definitely proves that he still got it in him. And makes him one of the best DC in FMH. He has experience, he has stats and he can play remaining consistent. He should be the Captain of your club.

Omer Toprak (DC): As I said this squad is filled with young quality players so here to add another first team regular. He is just 24 but he is rarely injured and doesn't racks up card easily. Besides he is hard worker and definitely has a bright future ahead.

Kyriakos Papadopoulos (DC): He is actually the youngest player to ever play in Greek League. He is on loan from Schalke, but I'd recommend to buy him looking at his current CA and PA. He is exceptionally talented and one of the upcoming star DC of FMH.

Kostas Stafylidis (D/DML): He is young but no an exceptional player though but he is a good substitute and can be used against few weaker teams actually.

Wendell (D/ML): An absolute beast he is 20 and he already has a 15 in dribbling, a 16 in tackling and more mouth watering attributes. He is definitely one of the best young players of the squad and definitely a first team material.

Defensive Midfielders

Gonzalo Castro (D/MRC): He is one of the best CM available in the squad. He is experienced. He also scores when it needed and also goes defensive as per requirement.

Lars Bender (DMC): He needs no specific introduction as he is already quite famous around Vibe. He is probably one of the best Box To Box Midfielder. He has a tremendous work rate and he is consistent and rarely gets injured.

Christoph Kramer (DMC): Another Box To Box Midfielder in the squad and has some really ace attributes. He plays a major role in strengthening the squad defense and attack link. He is loaned out at Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Stefan Reinartz (D/DMC): He is really an amazing option for Managers who like playing defensively. He is excessively defensive and becomes quite a nightmare for opposition.

Levin Oztunali (D/DMRC): He is a great young utility lad who can easily play as a DR as well as a DMC. He is the future rib for Bayer Leverkusen and he should not be sold at any costs.

Dominik Kohr (D/DMRC): He is young but it can't be actually guaranteed that how good can he be in the Future. His attributes are pretty mediocre. He should be sold as soon as you can.

Attacking Midfielders with Wingers

Julian Brandt (AMRL): He is just 18 and already has 16 in crossing, 15 in dribbling, passing and shooting. He actually one of the most deadly winger who has pace and can also score goals alongside providing incisive passes and crosses. A future asset for Leverkusen.

Vladlen Yurchenko (AMC): This 20 year old might not have exceptional attributes but that doesn't means he doesn't improves. By the time he reaches 24 he becomes the next Eriksen!

Karim Bellarabi (AM/FRLC): He is actually the.most experienced and oldest winger that Bayer has but he is still 24 . You can't exactly expect him to score goals but you can expect him to provide hell lot of assists to your attackers.

Heung-Min Son (AM/FRLC): He is quite well known around Vibe. He is a beast he scores and he is amazingly consistent.

Hakan Çalhonglu (AM/FLC): He is a great set specialist. He can easily score through your free kicks and he also delivers accurate crosses. He scores a lot of goals and he is another big asset for your club.

Centre Forwards

Josip Drmic (AM/FRLC): This young Swiss International is great goal scorer but definitely the worst part about him is he is not consistent so that can be problematic in the future.

Stefan Kießling (SC): Honestly this old man got one good season in him. And honestly he is really good and actually can fill up the void of inconsistency left by Drmic.

John Pohjanpalo (SC): Well he will be a future superstar but the problem with him is he takes around 4-5 seasons to completely develop so either you can keep him if you like originality or sell him and after 5 seasons get the Regen of Totti or Ibrahimovich

Goalkeepers

Bernd Leno (GK): Manuel Neuer, David De Gea, Courtois, Cech, Buffon amd then comes Leno and yes he is far better than ter Stegen and Oblak. He needs no introduction as if you don't know about him then I can't help you literally.

Dario Kresic (GK): He is all in all a good sub GK. Odds are if Leno gets injured or racks up a card or is unavailable due to any circumstance, he can handle the matches.

Transfers

Out:

Lukas Boeder: £500,000-700,000

Robin Tim Becker: £1-2.5 million

Dennis Engleman: £700,000-1 million

Marlon Frey: £300,000-450,000

Benjamin Henricks: £500,000-550,000

Simon Rolfes: £7-16 million

Robbie Kruse: £8-15 million

David Yelldell: £500,000

Marc Barsnic: £100,000-250,000

Maximillian Wegener: £900,000-3.5 million

Malcolm Cacutalua: £3-3.5 million

So if you sell all of them which is possible if you start transfer listing them just when you started the save, you will have a total £25-30 million approximately. Basically this club doesn't need any extra players but you can still go for a striker just incase you are not so sure about Josip Drmic.

In:

Simon Makienok (SC): He is 23 but he is amazingly constant. He can easily get you 40+ goals a season in all competitions in Bundesliga. He is a must buy. He costs around 16-22 million.

Salomón Rondon (SC): You think you don't want to risk anything then this guy is your call he costs around £11-18 million and you can expect goals coming from him.

Luis Muriel (AM/SC): Well he is an absolute beast and often ignored but he easily suits in Bundesliga surroundings and making him one of the most clinical finisher.

You only need a single striker out of these three and the remaining money can be saved by moving it into the wage budget for future purposes.
