SEPTEMBER

Empoli 2 (Giovinco 23, 45pen)
Atalanta 4 (Bonaventura 37, 46, 90, Berardi 88)

Plucky Empoli made it tough for us here but we struck twice late on to grab the points.

--

UEFA Champions League Group A
Chelsea 2 (van Ginkel 3, 39)
Atalanta 0

Not good!

--

Atalanta 3 (Sivrikaya 5, Capuano 67, 88)
Bologna 0

Nice and easy. Chuffed that Sivrikaya scored in Batshuayi's absence.

--

Parma 1 (Jorquera 26)
Atalanta 4 (Sivrikaya 24, 28, Berardi 62, 65)

A great win this. Much more comfortable than I thought it would be!

--

Atalanta 6 (Giovinco 6, Bonaventura 8, 39, 56, Allione 79, Crisetig 85)
Roma 1 (Boakye 75)

AMAZING!!!! We blew them away in the first 10min with 2 goals (and one disallowed) and then scored continually after that! What makes it even better was that I was missing my first choice defence and central midfield!!!

--

UEFA Champions League Group A
Atalanta 5 (Crisetig 2, Allione 7, 9, Martinez 36, Sivrikaya 39)
Genk 1 (Mboyo 42)

Once again we were ruthless in front of goal as my backups went goal crazy.

SUMMARY

Goals certainly werent hard to come by this month as we thrashed a lot of teams and apart from the poor performance against Chelsea look really strong.

Some of my backups really impressed. Obviously Sivrikaya is at a decent level anyway, as is Allione but Crisetig and Mileo also played exceptionally well too.

ITALY

FIFA World Cup Quals Group 2
Hungary 2 (Szalai 42, Dzsudzsak 47pen)
Italy 4 (Borini 16, Balotelli 24pen, 63pen, 90)

Lineup - Sirigu, Murru, Capuano, Chiellini (Rugani), Santon (De Sciglio), Pugliese, Verratti (Jorginho), Berardi, Borini, Bonaventura, Balotelli*

A decent start I suppose with Super Mario banging in a hat-trick. I gave debuts to Murru, Jorginho and Rugani here.

--

FIFA World Cup Quals Group 2
Italy 4 (Berardi 12, Balotelli 34, 39, Bonaventura 54)
Luxembourg 1 (Thill 20)

Lineup - Sirigu, De Sciglio, Capuano (Marrone), Chiellini, Murru (Santon), Pugliese, Verratti, Berardi, Borini (El Shaarawy), Bonaventura, Balotelli*

Letting them score was a tad embarrasing but hey-ho. Super Mario had 2 goals chalked off. Marrone made his debut.​

Do you still use the same 4231 with Atalanta?

OCTOBER

Verona 0
Atalanta 3 (Giovinco 42, Sivrikaya 71, Bonaventura 86)

Beforehand I was considering keeping Sivrikaya up top but I brought Batshuayi back in and in the end he was poor and Sivrikaya came off the bench to score.

--

Atalanta 3 (Bonaventura 5, Berardi 23, Crisetig 34)
AC Milan 0

The top 2 met here and we stamped our authority on Serie A with a convincing victory.

--

UEFA Champions League Group A
Atalanta 3 (Marilungo 29, Allione 45pen, Baselli 80)
Sparta Prague 0

Nice and easy - Marilungo had a goal disallowed too.

--

Palermo 0
Atalanta 2 (Batshuayi 20, 72)

--

Atalanta 3 (Batshuayi 48, 63, Berardi 50)
Napoli 0

I am ecstatic over this victory. Firstly because of my continued war against Rafa Benitez and secondly because we had Murru sent-off early on. Batshuayi even missed a penalty late on.

Napoli sacked Benitez straight after - HA HA

SUMMARY

You think of my side and you think of plenty of goals scored but I have to say our defence was excellent this month as we only conceded 1 goal in 6 games. That said we havent struggled in the goalscoring front either!

I signed a young Bulgarian on a free transfer. He will be placed in the reserves and may get the odd sub appearance and will hopefully be sold on for a healthy profit.

Lineup - Consigli, De Sciglio, Capuano, Chiellini, Santon, Florenzi, Verratti, Berardi (Borini), El Shaarawy, Bonaventura (Giovinco), Balotelli (Destro)

This was a very tough match and it took a last minute goal to get the points.

Doing amazing, well done mate. How is Serie A doing repuation wise on your game. I am Inter at the moment (3rd season, took over half way through 2nd season) and the Serie A's rep is awful.
 
Any chance of a screenshot of Rugani?? Just signed him in my save but I am not sure about him.

Cheers

NOVEMBER

UEFA Champions League Group A
Sparta Prague 2 (Samaras 22, Lafata 44)

This win secures qualification for the next stage.

--

Udinese 1 (Pereyra 53)

Our first defeat of the domestic campaign and as you may expect it was undeserved. Not too happy.

Catania 1 (Andreoli 34)

Back to winning ways!

--

UEFA Champions League Group A
Atalanta 2 (Brivio 90, Pugliese 90+5)
Chelsea 1 (Destro 8pen)

Talk about leaving it late!!! We went behind early and then had Allione sent-off in the 2nd half and I thought it was game over but we struck twice in injury time to win the match!

--

Livorno 1 (El Kaddouri 89)
Atalanta 3 (Batshuayi 55, Alvarez Balanta 77, Crisetig 88)

--

UEFA Champions League Group A
Genk 0
Atalanta 2 (Sivrikaya 67, Baselli 80)

SUMMARY

This month was decent - apart from our defeat at the hands of Udinese of course!!! There was a lot of chopping and changing in my lineups but my players still managed to come out on top in nearly every game.

Next month should be more of the same as we will be competing in the FIFA Club World Cup.

SUMMARY

A fantastic month both on and off the pitch. Onfield we won every game and also won the FIFA Club World Cup. We are playing some great stuff at the moment and hopefully we can continue to push on.

Off the field our youth and training facilities have been improved and we got Austrian side Red Bull Salzburg as a feeder side. Added to that is that ter Stegen and Pugliese signed new long term contracts.

The only cloud in the horizon is our draw in the Champions League - Real Madrid are on their way!

JANUARY

Atalanta 4 (Gentsogou og7, Alvarez Balanta 13, Bonaventura 35pen, Sivrikaya 73)
Sampdoria 0

A nice start to the new year.

--

Coppa Italia Quarter-Final
Atalanta 5 (Giovinco 38, 45, 58pen, Batshuayi 47, Jedvaj og73)
Roma 0

We hand out Roma another 5 goal thrashing. Thats twice this season.

--

Atalanta 2 (Berardi 7, Martinez 23)
Juventus 3 (Clemens 45, Sorensen 62, Pogba 76)

All was going well but then Murru got sent-off and we then just capitulated.

--

Coppa Italia Semi-Final 1st Leg
Juventus 2 (Lukaku 17, Quintero 40)
Atalanta 1 (Bonaventura 31)

Successive defeats are unheard of here. Bonaventura missed a late penalty which may prove costly.

--

Fiorentina 0
Atalanta 2 (Bonaventura 21pen, Giovinco 61)

--

Coppa Italia Semi-Final 2nd Leg
Atalanta 4 (Batshuayi 35, Berardi 40, 66, Bonaventura 53)
Juventus 1 (Kurzawa og57)
(Atalanta win 5-3 on aggregate)

REVENGE!!! We were never going to lose 3 in a row against Juve but I admit I was a bit nervy at 3-1 up with 10 men but we got a 4th and that was that.

--

Atalanta 2 (Bonaventura 4, Alvarez Balanta 32)

SUMMARY

A mixed month I suppose. We lost a few times but in the end we are still top of the league and through to the cup final.

I made a few transfers during the transfer window, including snapping up one of my favourite FM players of all time on a pre-contract deal!

Anywho my main signing was Andrea Poli from AC Milan for a bargain ?3m.

I then signed these guys for a total of ?3m

FEBRUARY

Bologna 1 (Bertolacci 3)
Atalanta 1 (Bonaventura 44)

I could have postponed this game but took the chance to play a couple of backups. Maybe I will regret it but hopefully not.

--

Atalanta 1 (Bonaventura 84)
Parma 0

We were pathetic in the first half and improved in the 2nd but it still didnt look as if we were going to score but Bonaventura popped up late on to give us the points.

--

Chievo 2 (Caputo 46, Ishak 80)
Atalanta 4 (Verratti 12, 78, Batshuayi 14, 25)

I have long held the belief that the only thing missing in my side is goals from my 2 central midfielders so I was naturally delighted with Verratti's double here.

--

Roma 2 (Zivkovic 3, Diallo 88)
Atalanta 4 (Batshuayi 16, 82, Giovinco 41, Berardi 90)

A great win, especially since we were without a few players. Bonaventura stopped scoring but got 3 assists.

--

UEFA Champions League 1st Round 1st Leg
Atalanta 1 (Marilungo 1)
Real Madrid 0

A great win. We were without our 3 attacking midfield players, plus Allione so to get the win is a remarkable achievment. We scored after 13sec and held on from then on in.

--

Atalanta 2 (Martinez 2, Batshuayi 19)
Verona 1 (Sakor 90)

I gave my backups a run out and they did good. We deserved to have scored 5 or 6 with the performance that we gave.

--

AC Milan 3 (Balotelli 17, Belhanda 18, Cristante 80)
Atalanta 5 (Bonaventura 13, 75, Batshuayi 19, 70, 83)

What a thriller this was!!! Batshuayi has certainly found his goalscoring touch and bagged a hat-trick here. Milan sacked Villas-Boas after the match.

--

Atalanta 4 (Batshuayi 24, 68, Murru 53, Capuano 90)
Palermo 2 (Dumitru 37, Stevanovic 75)

Another 2 goals to Batshuayi's tally. Thats 10 in the last 5 league games!

SUMMARY

Apart from our draw in the first game this month was perfect. Michy Batshuayi was on fire and couldnt stop scoring while Bonaventura was also banging them in and when he wasnt he was setting them up. I admit I was beginning to think that Batshuayi's time at the club was nearing the end but this month has given him a stay of execution!!!

Martinez, Capuano and Mileo all signed new long term contracts during the month also.

MARCH

Atalanta 4 (Berardi 9, 63, Verratti 43, Capuano 78)
Inter Milan 0

Fantastic although how Batshuayi didnt continue his scoring run is beyond me. Martinez got 3 assists here.

--

Napoli 5 (Ferreyra 8, Di Palma 14, Garmash 38, Lovren 41, Hamsik 45)
Atalanta 4 (Bonaventura 73, Verratti 76, Capuano 81, 87)

To say I was spitting feathers at half-time is an understatement. (God knows what my mum thought at me shouting at my laptop lol). Even in the 2nd half we were pathetic but for some reason in the fina 20min we got going and almost, miraculously rescued a point!

--

UEFA Champions League 1st Round 2nd Leg
Real Madrid 1 (Ronaldo 10)
Atalanta 1 (Batshuayi 66)
(Atalanta win 2-1 on aggregate)

PHEW!!! We got a bit of a hiding here but somehow we managed to nick a goal and hold on.

--

Cagliari 0
Atalanta 2 (Berardi 9, Bonaventura 46pen)

We won despite having a man sent-off. They have signed striker Rodrigo (of Benfica fame) for ?9m - great signing for them!

--

Atalanta 6 (Giovinco 6, 75, Capuano 30, 56, Sivrikaya 84, Olsson og87)
Udinese 0

In the first 5min of the 2nd half they had 2 men sent-off and I, for a change, went to overload mentality and it paid off.

--

Catania 1 (Cammarota 31)
Atalanta 3 (Bonaventura 18, Sivrikaya 29, Alvarez Balanta 48)

SUMMARY

This month was decent enough. We lost a crazy game against Napoli but defeated Real Madrid in Europe and thumped Udinese in the league. It seemed as though Batshuayi handed his scoring baton over to Marco Capuano as the CB managed to net 5 times!!

In the Champions League it may be no surprise to find out we will face Tottenham Hotspur - 3 seasons in a row!!!

The youth intake was ****.

ITALY

FIFA World Cup Quals Group A
Italy 4 (Berardi 3, 15, 51pen, Gabbiadini 10)
Hungary 1 (Filkor 65)

Lineup - Sirigu, Santon, Ranocchia, Capuano, Murru, Florenzi (Pugliese), Verratti (Pizarro), Berardi*, El Shaarawy, Bonaventura, Gabbiadini​
 
Don't know why but I think Serie A is the best league to manage in FM. I had all of my best careers there.
 
My best save so far has been in Italy, too. With Torino in FM12. Seventh at my first season in Seriea (only 2pts off European Qualification), two times second placed team, a TIM Cup (my first title ever), a Supercup, twice qualified to Champions League and once to Europa League, one Europa League semifinal, once 30m away from qualifying to Champions League first knock out round...

UEFA Champions League QF 1st Leg
Tottenham Hotspur 3 (Vargas 23, 68, Soldado 66pen)
Atalanta 4 (Batshuayi 4, Bonaventura 42, Allione 79, 84)

A very entertaining encounter this!!! I was a bit gutted to be 3-2 down but within minutes of bringing Allione on he struck twice to give us victory.

--

Atalanta 4 (Mileo 10, Capuano 25, Marilungo 40, Batshuayi 72)
Livorno 0

CHAMPIONS AGAIN!!!!

--

UEFA Champions League QF 2nd Leg
Atalanta 2 (Batshuayi 38, 48)
Tottenham Hotspur 1 (Ayew 16pen)
(Atalanta win 6-4 on aggregate)

After we had a goal disallowed and went a goal down I wondered if it was going to go against us but we fought back to win and progress.

--

Lazio 2 (Cerri 39, Gilardino 90)
Atalanta 2 (Martinez 66, Marilungo 72)

Lazio are surprisingly battling against relegation and their stoppage time leveller here was annoying to say the least!

--

UEFA Champions League SF 1st Leg
Atletico Madrid 3 (Sosa 50, Leo 52, 81)
Atalanta 3 (Pugliese 21, Berardi 28, Batshuayi 45)

I am fuming that we managed to throw away a 3 goal lead but I would have taken this result before kick-off.

--

Atalanta 5 (Martinez 2, Sivrikaya 12, 68, 85pen, Kleemann 43)
Chievo 2 (Stoian 45, Mastriani 90)

A good win - Sivrikaya also had a goal disallowed.

--

UEFA Champions League SF 2nd Leg
Atalanta 1 (Berardi 33)
Atletico Madrid 0
(Atalanta win 4-3 on aggregate)

We deserved to win by more but I suppose that doesnt matter now.

--

Inter Milan 2 (Hernanes 6, Ramirez 34)
Atalanta 2 (Capuano 14, Kurzawa 85)

Thats 13 goals for Capuano in Serie A this season - crazy biscuits!

SUMMARY

This month we wrapped up another Serie A title and progressed into the European Cup final where we will come up against German side Bayern Munich. I chopped and changed the lineup this month which may have or may not have been the reason behind us conceding so many more goals than usual.

For the remaining 2 games of Serie A I will field a backup side and go with the big guns for the 2 finals however the fact the finals are within 3 days of eachother is a big worry!

I am delighted and surprised at this scoreline. I rested a few players and even would have put up with a defeat as long as it didnt go to extra-time! In the end I neednt have worried.

--

UEFA Champions League Final
Bayern Munich 0
Atalanta 2 (Berardi 65, Martinez 90)

WE RETAIN THE EUROPEAN CUP!!!!!

This final was awful. Incredibly boring and our first shot on target found the net midway through the 2nd half. We wrapped it up when they got caught on the counter attack chasing an equaliser.

SUMMARY

A decent end to the season!!!! We wrapped up trophy numbers 5 and 6 by winning both cups to end a great season. In the league this month it was all about giving my younger players a couple of more games and I even played a few in the domestic cup final but in the Champions League I unleashed my big guns and although the performance wasnt great - the result was!

End of season post to follow.
