INTRODUCTION

Hey everyone and welcome to my Aston Villa story were I am going to take Aston Villa to European success. I will be updating you guys after every month I play of the save. I will update the transfers at the end of the window and will update on player of the month for Aston Villa and anything else that is important. I hope you enjoy this story and hopefully I can bring European success to Villa just like in 1982.

AIMS

Win Europa League/Champions League/FIFA Club World Cup/European Super Cup

Become richest team in the world

Challenge for EPL titles

Win domestic cups (hopefully back to back)

PRE-SEASON
View attachment 265456

So I set my season expectations to top-half finish which gave me £3M to spend.

PLAYERS IN


Heinz Linder - 160K
Henri Saivet - Loan
Carlos Fierro - Free (joins next summer)

Some good players unfortunately I couldn't sign more before the window ended but the team I have will get my off to a good start until January when I can buy more players.

FORMATION
After using different formations during pre-season I came to a decision to use 4-2-3-1. It won me in all games during pre-season and was the most affective.

PLAYERS OUT

Nathan Delfouneso - Loan
Gary Gardener - Loan
Andy Weimann - Loan
Nathan Baker - Loan
Eric Lichaj - Loan
