Season four

Oh my dayz the transfers on Football Manager are so annoying! If they could tighten it up with the AI it would be amazing.

So, PSG signed Mateo Kovacic for a massive £87 million, Monaco bought Moussa Dembele for £49 million (raising to £61 million). So Kasper Dolberg came in from Juventus for £46 million, rising to £52 million.

Corentin Tolisso was signed from Bayern Munich for just shy of £40 million and then left-back Aaron was signed from Mainz for £23 million.

How did that effect Rabiot? Well, he played loads but had a little bit of a bit this time around. 42 appearances in all comps returned four goals and seven assists.

The Frenchman was more creative than he’s ever been, but the overall quality of Rabiot’s performances did suffer a little drop.

Once again there was no silverware involved. Liverpool were knocked out the FA Cup and the League Cup in the semi final, but did end up third in the Premier League.

Lozano, Salah, Mane and Firmino had good campaigns while Tolisso and Fabinho carried the flag from the centre of midfield.
