Football Manager 2019 Tottenham – Close, but no cigar. That’s been the mantra for Spurs fans in recent years. Are you the manager to finally bring some silverware to White Hart Lane (Wembley)?

Harry Kane (ST)

England’s #9 is still just 24 and already one of the very best strikers in the whole of FM19. With a contract that ties him down until 2024, you don’t have to worry about much, apart from matching his talent with trophies.

Harry Kane carries a irreplaceable aura for Spurs fans, in that it will extremely hard to replace his level of production if you do end up selling him, all of which points towards building around the loan-tested forward for years to come.

Dele Alli (AMC/MC)
