Should I spend £80?

Cheers guys

So quick update:

Balanced out the squad in the rebuild, stacked it with am players and brought the average age down a bit (another mistake I made in the first season)so i think I've got a good squad for the season

Got the couple of academy players through and have started to train them, balance between greens/training/rest and individual training Vs group training is a learning process but I'm starting to understand it more, although being prudent with the greens is eminently difficult, I'll try and rotate players this season so as to make training up players easier given the bigger fixture list

My main guy kniezvic(sp) is retiring, which sucks, and seems a bit premature given he's only 31 and coming off the back of a season where he scooped the lot

My draw in the cup seemed kind at first, got a virtual walkover in the first leg, won by a cricket score and I think the second leg is coming up round about now actually but can't be arsed to watch, put one of the youth players in and the weaker players so as to conserve some energy, but as the second round has developed I've checked out some of the opponents and at least 4 I've clocked won their leagues last season, so seems like a tough cup, a d I wanted a decent run in it, would love to win it but d be happy with a good run just getting used to amalgamating the cup games with league and getting that balance correct

My CL group stage seems kinda easy too, so I'll see how the KO stages progress (IF I get there not presuming anything lol) especially as a couple of the guys I added as friends from the last league have been turned over in their first round matches in games they shoulda won

I'm gonna keep this thread as my own little update/diary, but if anyone else has any input, advice, comments or observations, they're more than welcome, especially regarding the training/greens/resting balance which I'm deffo struggling with atm!

I was a bit gutted last season that there's no golden boot award? I mean they seem to have a special award or achievement for even sneezing on the pitch bit not the golden boot? I understand the assists and average player ranking table not having an award, why would it(although in the modern game the total/zonal type football that's played now and the tech that's available to monitor everything has made assists a lot more important and carry more significance then they used to, and is a more desirable stat to have) but the golden boot is the biggest and most prestigious individual player award there is, in any comp, domestic or international, so just weird for a game heavy in awards not to have that one

I'll maybe update once a week or two, or if anything significant happens, am still reading older threads and articles on here and have just started to read others journeys which tbh are kinda interesting

I'll probs update when I know what my league looks like, don't want a walkover league but would like to have a chance, fingers crossed!

EDIT - just seen my draw for the second round and playing against another league winner from last season, luck of the draw and all that jazz I suppose bit seems a tough fixture early on I'm just the last 32 although I don't think his ranking is above 80% I was just focused that he had good stats and won the league last season so I'll be jolly to win it but tough draw nonetheless
