The aim of any aspiring Tottenham manager on FM13 is to avoid the state of flux Spurs find themselves in on the periphery of the European elite. Utilising the generosity of the infamously prudent Daniel Levy, it is possible to transform the fortunes of the North London club into genuine Premier League title contenders.

Couple the potential fire sale of the likes of Livermore and Huddlestone with Levy’s £35million warchest and you have the potential to be the envy of managers the world over.

It is crucial to maintain the legacy of your predecessor Andre Villas-Boas and the plans he laid out in his tireless fortnight in charge. Therefore, a fluid 4-2-3-1 formation will be used to build around the Welsh wizard Gareth Bale and create a domestic and European dominating outfit.
