If your struggling for cash there is a lot of opportunities to sell players, but stuttgart have a good squad and only needs a few additions
Pitor Czaplinski ( best get him now cause he improves fast ) Eric Delgado Sporting Cristal Yann Sommer FC Basle ( Can't get him untill 2008 )
Sergey Ignashevich free CSKA Moscow ( as good leadership qualities and is good enough to start)
Trabelsi Free
Nacer Barazite Arsenal ( under study to basturk ) Kasper Hamalaien Turon ( multi positions very versatitle, even good as a DM ) Bikir Bjarnsson Viking ( improves fast ) Gabriel Torje Poli 1921
Kozub Pawel Legia Warsaw ( Becomes a good striker in the future )
If any players have been missed out in this guide can you please tell me so I can add them.
Rafael Schafer - 28 - German - 1.4m - 25.5k per week He is the best Keeper at the club easily when compared to the other possible selections available,like some other clubs there is a lack of competition for the Number 1 Jersey at Stuttgart.Rafael Schafer will probably be Number 1 for at least the first season, will get is fair share of clean sheets to.
Alexander Stolz - 23 - German - 110k - 1.4k per week Stolz is way down the pecking order at the club and to be honest I cannot see him even making the bench any time soon,so it is recommended to sell him cause you will not gain anything by keeping him.
Sven Ulreich - 18 - German - 2k - 350 per week Only 18 with time on is side to improve, deemed a risk cause it depends on what injuries he picks up whilst in the U23's,this could harm is progress.Worth keeping cause the gamble could possibly pay off for you.
Timo Hammel - 19 - German - 3k - 350 per week Like Stolz there is no future for him at the club,best to release him or sell him.
Left Backs
Arthur Boka - 24 - Ivorian - Left - 3.4m - 13.2k per week He is definately the best Left Back at the club and could also be deployed as a Wing Back and do a good job.Boka is a reliable player even versus better teams.
Ludovic Magnin - 28 - Swiss - Left - Either - 2.9m - 20k per week Second choice in this position to Boka,but is strong with both feet which is good if you need him to fill in as a Right Back if a injury as occured.Worth keeping for at least the first season.
Joachim Schwabe - 23 - German - Left - 140k - 1k per week To be honest Joachim is not even worth keeping for the club cause he will never get a chance in the First Team.It would be best to sell him and replace him with a younger player who can be nutured to be a possible future Left Back.
Right Back's
Ricardo Osario - 27 - Mexican - Right - 3.4m - 19k per week A decent player to have in your team,although he can play with both feet it is recommended never play him in the Left Back position cause he plays very poorly there.But as a Right Back player he is actually a alright player,to be honest he is worth keeping.But is position is not secure due to there been a young German player Hilbert snapping at Osario's heels to take over at that position.
Andreas Beck With the right training and playing time he could possibly be a first team player in the future,worth keeping.
Centre Backs
Fernando Meira - 29 - Portugese - Right - 5m - 34.5k per week Just a tad better than Delpierre at this position,as very good attributes and regarded as a Key Player for Stuttgart due to is decent Marking,Tackling and Strength which is good even against the stronger teams in the Bundesliga or through out Europe.Him and Delpierre will be the spine of team for a bit.
Mathieu Delpierre - 26 - French - Right - 4.2m - 40k per week Mathieu is a very good player and will lead the backline against any opposition,with Meira there could be possibly be a very strong defensive unit for the club which will lead to clean sheets.Regarded as a Key Player.
Gledson - 27 - Brazilian - Right - 2.3m - 6.7k per week Although the coach report labels him the third best at this position at the moment,I honestly would prefer to put Tasci in the team when given the opportunity rather than Gledson, best to sell him and bring in a better Centre Back.
Serdar Tasci - 20 - German - Right - 3.9m - 5.2k per week One for the future and worth keeping a eye on, although only 20 he is already ready for first team football in the Bundesliga or in any European competiton.He will be a star for Stuttgart and will be better than both of the starting Centre Backs in the future, also attracts interest from top clubs,Key member.
Marijian Kovacevic - 33 - Croatian - 60k - Right - 2.8k per week There is not much to say except sell him cause trust me Kovacevic would not be able to keep the substitute bench warm any time soon.
Dubravko Kolinger - 31- Croatian - Right - 40k - 1k per week Although he can play in two positions even if there is injuries to First Team players he won't make the team even as a substitute.So it is best to sell him or release.
Defensive Midfielder's
Pavel Pardo - 30 - Mexican - Right - 4.8m - 20.5k per week Pardo is the best player at this position currently but as competiton from Khedira for the starting place.I reckon is position is save for the first season at least but will need to play well in the second season or else there is a slim chance of him losing is place but he is a strong enough to maintain the tag of best player in the future.
Sami Khedira - 20 - German - Right - 4.2m - 9.2k per week You would be a fool if you sold him,he will be a Key Member of the team for many years and will be a Star for Stuttgart in the future.Similar kind of player to Dortmund's Sebastian Kehl which is a fair reflection of what talents this player as.Expect top clubs to make bids for him.
Silvio Meisnner - 34 - German - Right - 375k - 13.7k per week He will never be a First Team player unfortunately so I would recommend to sell him.
Midfield Centre
Martin Dausch - 21- German - Left - 50k - 550 per week It would be best to sell him and replace him with a better player who could most likely have more of chance to get in the first team.
Yildray Basturk - 28 - Turkish - Right - 5.2m - 40k per week Basturk would easily walk in to any team in the Bundesliga and most teams in Europe,as all the key attributes to help the team in the scoring and assists department plus is good at set pieaces ,worth a place in the starting eleven though and is worth keeping.
Left Midfield
Antonio da Silva - 29 - Brazilian - Left - 3.4m - 15.5k per week In a position which is probably the weak link in the team da Silva really is not that good to be honest and if a replacement can be brought to the club I would suggest sell him to generate cash for a better player.If you do not wish to sell him, maybe he can be used in a substitute role.
Thomas Hitzlsperger - 25 - German - 4.3m - 26.5k per week Thomas is a very strong player who can play as a Centre Midfielder or as a Left Midfielder,in both positions he is consitent and maintains a good level of performances when playing against any opposition.Is good at Free Kicks and Corners which is a added bonus.Key Player.
Right Midfield
Roberto Hilbert - 22 - German - Either - 4.7m - 12k per week This guy will be the future for the club.strong with both feet which means he is very good as a Right Back and Right Midfielder which is better than Osario but unfortunately at the moment he is a number two choice at the Right Back slot but will get is fair share of first team football somewhere in the team.
Alexander Farnerud - 23- Swedish - 3.2m - 26k per week A nice player to have in your team can play on both wings,but unfortunately he can have many off days even versus average opponents.Would be a possible candidate for the transfer list only if a suitable replacement is already at that club.
Ewerton - 26 - Brazilian - Right - Loaned In - 20k per week He is a decent striker who is on loan at the club from Zaragoza and could be bought for 4.1m whilst at the club.Could play just behind the striker or up front along with Gomez which would be a very good pairing against any team,worth keeping on Loan.
Mario Gomez - 21 - German - Right - 7.5m - 26.5k per week The best striker at the club who can lead the front line for many years and score bags of goals,can gain a large sum of income from a possible sale around 20m + in the future but I would try to keep him cause he is a Key Player.
Ciprian - 21 - Romainian - Right - 5m - 27.5k per week Can become a Key Player for the team but not in the First Season but is a very good substitute and will chip in with is fair tally of goals as the season progresses,and can even start when starting striker/strikers need a rest.
Danijel Ljuboja - 28 - Serbian - Left - 2.3m - 13.7k per week It would be best to sell this player to generate transfer cash to bring in a player in a position that is needed for the club.
Cacua - 26 - Brazilian - Right - 5.5m - 20k per week Cacua is actually an ok player to be honest, can start if you want to rotate the striker/strikers against any teams.There is a possibility of selling him to get some cash if you want to.But it is a 50/50 on what to do with him.
Hope you enjoyed the guide,I ll be doing more guides but I will be having a short break from the teams in the Bundesliga for now.I might start doing a few Premiership teams next.

This is a quality guide my friend. Content is really amazing and the fact that all the graphics have been made by you, shows that you are very dedicated and willing to spend some extra time on a guide to make it look better. I hope you will make a lot more guides in the future and I would love to see some guides for less known clubs in countries which are fun to start a game in. For example, Defensor (Uruguay), America (Mexico), River Plate (Argentina, Corinthians (Brazil), Colo Colo (Chile), Shakhtar (Ukraine), Malmo (Sweden) etc. etc.
One suggestion about this guide: Try to avoid writing all the text in one color, in this case the color red. It makes the guide looks less worthy and makes it unclear to read properly.
Thank you for the nice comments relating to this guide,I am happy that people like the layout it took a bit of time but it was worth it.There will be quite a few more guides to come.

hope ya do more
