About Tottenham
Spurs are a London club that have done consistently well since the inception of the English Premier League in 1992. Despite a shortage of trophies, Spurs are one of the more consistent sides in the Premier League who are in and around the European positions in the last decade.
They are the finalists of the UEFA Champions League in the 2018-2019 season
and have also finished runner up in the English premier league the season
before. They are known for building a strong squad with a minimal budget. They
now have many superstars in their ranks.
Spurs had a disappointing 2020-2021 season finishing 7th in the league and only qualifying for the UEFA Conference league. The board requirements once you take over will be,
Spurs had a disappointing 2020-2021 season finishing 7th in the league and only qualifying for the UEFA Conference league. The board requirements once you take over will be,
· A top 4 league finish (automatic qualification to the champions league)
· Reach the final of the conference league.
· At least reach the semi-final of the FA cup.
The Spurs board will require the manager to play attacking entertaining football whilst retaining a lot of possession, sign younger players for the future and develop players using the club's youth system.
Spurs recently moved into a new stadium and have excellent training facilities available at their disposal. This should definitely help their young players in reaching their potential. They also have a decent youth set up with them producing the occasional star.
Harry Kane is arguably one of the best strikers in the world and is a natural finisher who is ever hungry for goals. Keep him fit and he will aid your cause with 20+ goals every season.
Son Heung Min
One of the most important players in the squad, Son has double-digit goals in each of his last 5 PL seasons. His contribution from the wings will be crucial to achieving favourable results.
Pierre Emile Hojberg
The Danish central midfielder is versatile and has been performing to a very high standard since joining Spurs.
Reguilon is one of the best players in his position. He is a natural at crossing the ball and excels on the attacking third of the pitch. His partnership with Kane & Son could shape the season for managers taking over Spurs.

The Spaniard is a new signing from Sevilla and possesses the pace and trickery to excel on the wings. In a few years time, he can be a top player for the club.
Dane Scarlett
The young English striker is touted by many to have very high potential and can be a natural replacement for Kane in a few years.
Jamie Donley
The 16-year-old striker currently plays for the Spurs U19s and is said to be one of the jewels of the academy. Given the right mentorship, he could be potentially one of the best players at the club.

FM22 Transfer and Wage Budgets
The current Spurs squad has a variety of talent, especially in the attacking department. What is even more impressive is that their stars are relatively young in age, so should be able to hold on to them, you can easily build an empire around them. However, with no silverware, some of the players are unhappy at the club and could be the subject of transfers.
There are quite a few tactical setups you could deploy with Spurs, however, the best-suited ones will be vertical Tiki Taka. This should provide the fast-paced attacking football that the board demands and could make use of all the fine attacking talent at your disposal. However, against quality attacks or tough away games, one could go with a fluid counter attack formation or wing play.
Recently Spurs have been using the 3-4-3 formation a lot and it will definitely suit their players.
A rough example of what your line-up would look like in a 3-4-3 formation is as follows;

Eric Dier, Davinson Sanchez & Cristian Romero as the 3 centre backs with Dier & Romero playing as Ball playing defenders.
Tanguy Ndombele & Piere Emile Hojberg as the 2 central midfielders with the former as a deep playmaker and the latter as a box to box midfielder.
Son Heung Min & Lucas Moura as the 2 wide players with Son playing as an inverted winger and Moura as a winger.
Harry Kane as the solo forward in a deep lying forward role.
You can also shift to a 4 at the back and make use of players like Bergwijn & Lo Celso.
