@lee_fc’s Liverpool
@lee_fc took Liverpool back to the summer of 2009 with City’s £900m and came out with 17 major trophies. The real Liverpool won one in the same nine seasons.
They spent £785m of the budget on 33 players.
Two of their titles came in a season City really won.
The first summer did most of the work: £510m in 2009, 65% of everything they spent.
The biggest fees: Eden Hazard (£80.5m, 2013), Cristiano Ronaldo (£80m, 2009) and Wayne Rooney (£72m, 2009).
