My tactics are nothing special, a wide 4-1-1-3-1 with Inside Forwards feeding the Advanced Forward who is the best striker in the game. I devised this tactic after my usual wide 41221 did not seem to work in Italy, so this is like a more attacking version of that one.
TIs are like Exploit the...
Season 14 - Best.Season.Ever.
This season went straightforwardly enough to be able to sum it up in a couple of sentences: we won all but 3 of our games: a 0-0 draw against Pescara (our worst performance and only goalless game this year), a 1-2 loss against Roma (breaking our 98-game long...
Season 13 - Lucky number
I started this season without a significant transfer activity (I did get a great, yet quite cheap regen CM from AC Milan for a potential re-sale with huge profit and a 34-year-old Eden Hazard from Chelsea for cover) and I aimed to do the sextuple as well as firing at...
Season 12 - Almost there
After the relative disappointment of last season, I decided to further strengthen my team to be able to achieve the goals that I set. I brought a regen AMC from Genoa for a club record 55M who proved to be a beast for me (27 goals+17assist in the league alone) and won...
Yeah, the thing with this is that the better players with dual nationality will reject your callups and hold out in hope for a call-up in the Italy NT. This has happened to three of my players, I had to wait for 6-8 years for them to finally realize that they would never be considered for Italy...
Season 11
After we managed to claim the CL in our previous season, I decided to set several - quite elusive - targets for this season - achieving those would fulfill my club career's most important aims and I would be able to fully concentrate on improving the national team by all means.
Serie...
Season 10 - On top of the world
After last season's disappointment in the CL, I really wanted to strengthen the team and have some more depth in order to be able to compete in all fronts. As the right wing was virtually invisible last year, I decided to sell Andrija Zivkovic while I can ('Kusen...
Season 9 - Stagnation
I realized that I will need a stronger team to be able to compete in all fronts so I went on an unlikely spending spree: bought Andrija Zivkovic and Mateo Kovacic from Bayern (for a total of 13.5 MGBP, so pretty cheap), an exceptional regen DM from 1860 for 16M, a young...
Season 8 - Solid
After a pretty fruitful last season, I decided that my team has sufficient depth with the large amount of promising youngsters, so I chose to have a very quiet off-season, purchasing only a couple of hot prospects (only one of them really promising, mind you, but could be used...
Season 7 - Finally
I felt that the team needed further strengthening, so I bought Sven Bender for 6M and a young French regen DC for 9M, to make sure that my defense is strong enough for this year's double challenge. The Serie A was a walk in the park as Juve were in a pretty bad shape this...
Season 6 - Close enough
Serie A
After the turmoil of last season I decided to go against my old principles and spend money on a non-youth player, instead of only snapping them up on a free. I was heavily lacking in the DR position and there were no sufficient players available on a free, so I...
Season 5
Disappointment
After strengthening the squad with a new GK (Leali), DL and MC while also securing several loanees (Ljajic, Zelalem, Marcos Lopes, Podolski) I thought this squad might be enough to contend for European places. We started with 3 straight losses, but then stabilized our...
Season 4
Not bad, but not too good either
After being promoted to the Serie A and receiving seemingly endless funds I somehow expected us to do better (even though I know that it does not give any competitive advantage as all teams receive huge amounts of TV money). We multiplied our wage...
Season 3
Now we are speaking...
The third season fortunately went as expected - after a reasonable strengthening of the squad, we managed to compete for the league title. We started off strongly, leading Serie B for some time, being in strong contention with Cesena. Suffering a 4-6 loss to...
SEASON 2
Well, f*ck...
After a complete overhaul of the first team (only two players remained from the previous team) we indeed managed to compete with the big boys for the promotion, but it ended sadly. We started off the season with a bang, being on top of the league for a couple of weeks...
