Football Manager 2015 Tips: 10 Ways To Guarantee World Domination

5. Buy Goals

And no, not in the dodgy "pay off goalkeepers" sort of way - that option hasn't yet made it into the game, though it's surely only a matter of time before we see another darker iteration of the management sim appear. Kevin Keegan was right when he said that attack was the best form of defence, and if you have any type of budget to bring in new players you should look to signings who will add goals to the team. Wonder-players like Memphis Depay, Raheem Sterling and Bernard are expensive (though not all at the same level) but all will add 20 plus goals in the right team, which can mean the difference between top half and top four. A good defence is one thing, but having goalscorers of that calibre (and it is possible to invest in young players like Dorin Rotariu who develop to the same level) is far more valuable to your win rate.
