I like your approach in the transfer window, not throwing around crazy money. The players who brought you there are also the players who will be the backbone of the team in the season, just added a few new guys to supplement them. Shackleton permanently, I like that, and the others make sense too. Sandler was highly rated in his youth, so perhaps he can regain some of the lost potential? Christian Roldan is one I signed many FIFA's back, he was far better for me than his OVR rating would suggest at the time. I hope he'll do just as well for you.
A question: Is the transfer window closed yet? It doesn't seem like you found a new striker, so maybe you've decided to trust Niall Ennis after all, despite only 5 goals in the spring? Or maybe Chris Willock has played as the number 9?
I forgot to add that part, was on my failed attempted article 😜
Transfer Window is shut. Storyline wise there'd be a lot of concern with no new striker, but in my view/as manager I don't have concern because while his goals dropped off his goal contributions didn't plus I have so many players who can fill in upfront. The likes of Willock, Szmodics, Swift, Chong and Dolan to name a few so not short on attacking options.
Plus as I struggled to offload so many players I didn't wanna bring anyone else in..I was surprisingly given nearly 60mil budget but I wasn't gonna spend it all especially with little outgoings. My squad is way to big so made no sense to add, I was also tempted to bring in Patterson from Everton as they got relegated but I didn't wanna risk taking the Nottingham Forest route.
Hopefully some deals go ahead between now and end of January it was frustrating as most of the Listed Players had offer after offer but talks kept breaking down. A few are in final.year of contracts, I let 3 go end of last season by not renewing as I just couldn't sell them before
Makes sense. Don't want my squads to be too big either. And I'm also quite fond of playing someone out of position from time to time, and with 3-4 left backs there's not really a reason to do that, are there? So I like your options for the number 9. I suppose I tried the same in my Man United save, having Højlund, McTominay and Brennan Johnson to play the part, only one real number 9 among them. But now McTominay left, and Jovic arrived, it's not the same situation anymore. But hopefully it's better. We'll see...
I'm surprised to see you (and others maybe) struggling to offload players. I find that most deals go through, so I don't recognize this issue, to be honest. When it happens to me, it's often the same player turning one offer down after the other. But so far I haven't seen it as a general thing.

How I would love to read a definition of what a strange club is. 😄
But I suppose you may have a point there. The times, I've tried this, it's never been top teams involved. Always lesser clubs trying to sign a player who may be a bit out of their league. I'm not completely sure though, since I haven't seen it that often.
