Coming to the Nomads, they need only to beef up areas they feel there is a need. They have already depth in their squad comprised of veterans and young talented players who can equally stand the heat. However, in football, playing as unit in more important than boosting of talent.
A word of encouragement to the Nomads, Statistics don't play football. Football is played on the field. Statistics just you to prepare for your opponent well
