Starting 3rd season, got Banega and fernandes for Man City, but neither are fully developed and Im thinking of selling Fernandes as he isnt really developing how Id hoped he would. Need someone to rotate with Banega, 15-20 mil available, less perferably.

Looks pretty damn impressive, but at 20 is he worth the 21 mil minimum release clause?

Tried to get Lucas, but he went to Spurs instead for some unknown reason. I wasnt happy about that at all, cause he was immense in my boro game.

Toulalan is very good, might need retraining though. He's not a tackling sort of DM though.

The belgian guy at lazio is rather nifty, I forget his name though.

Nigel De Jong is usually my go to guy, great all round game.

Huddlestone

Always seems to be over-rated on FM.

Denilson is fantastic.

I got Formigoni (maybe spelt wrong?) for Leeds in the 2nd season. 3rd season now in Premier and he's outstanding. Maybe a bit raw for you but he should be cheap.

I agree with Hamsik and Makoun, both quality DMs. You could try biglia or Fellaini the belgian although Iv never had them myself

He doesn't have the standout 20 stats of some DMs, he's not excellent at any one thing, but he's very, very good at everything.

Denilson is fantastic on this game and he's nickname is "Wonderkid" and I read it on hints and tips that when he's older he's going to be world class, lucky I kept him!

I'd say it is definitely worth it. He is a solid all round player. Have a look at Muamba. He is a solid midfielder as well.

Palombo, Zapater, Mudingayi, Jean2Makoun, Cana.

Toulalan never moves from Lyon unless they get relegated.

For DM Zapater is a top notch player, available for a low release fee and does a great job protecting the back four, winning tackles, picking out through balls and rarely makes a mistake. I would also sexond Jean Il Makoun, top notch all round DM but then again, nothing compares to Mascherano!
