Napoli - Aug 2013

View attachment 171015

What do you think? :D

Good team, baffled why Lukaku isn't good enough though XD

Goalkeeper Review
You have a very good keeper in Martin Stekeleburg, but you may need to strengthen the back-up position, maybe you should look to bring in a younger keeper, try Lukas Hradecky or Ben Amos

Defender Review
Your Defence is definitely your strongest point, having Kjaer as back-up shows how good it is. Kyle Walker is amazing, so he should be good in the future also.

Midfield Review
This is a world beating Midfield with Hamsik playmaking and M'Villa being a rock, if there id any weakness, it would be Cigirani, look to bringing in James Rodrigues, Marco Verratti or John Fleck.

Striker Review
Again I'm confused as too why Lukaku is out on loan, but I guess he is still young, this is probably your weakest position, try signing Sanago, Babacar, someone like that to provide some beef up front :)

Overall Review
Great team, but could be better. 8.5/10

I think this thread should be re-named 'Raikan Rate My Squad'!

Ahem

Yeah I've had Lukaku for two seasons now, scored hardly any.
And also I have Cigarini in AMC for some reason he plays amazingly good there.
 
Napoli - Aug 2013

What do you think? :D

This is a very good sqaud, the only weakness I can suggest is Cigarini in Amc, he is a decent player but I think you should think about retraining Rossi as Amc to incorporate Cavani in the starting line up! Definately need a new Lb to cover, Cassani probably covers for you there correct? Walker on loan to cover for Rb when he gets back as well as Serge :) not bad!

I would suggest Alex Sandro - Santos, Georgiy Schennikov - CSKA.

Team rating: 8.9/10 great team, good mixture of youth and good players! maybe also look at a new keeper in the next year or two though! and a new AMC (Napoli bought Pastore in the 3rd season for 17.5 million) he would be fantastic there :)

if you need suggestions, feel free to PM me!

Here's another Team for rating if you don't mind Raikan.

Can't post SS yet cos I'm not on my computer:

Everton:

5-6th season in, Champions League winners, Premiership Winners

not a bad team there Sam, need to replace Hennessey as your keeper, he is sub standard! very good midfield, save for Arteta (old now) and Verratti is a shadow of the player he was last year! so need replacements there!

your bench is lacking in quality, also depends how Alacer and Isco have developed!

Team rating:
7.8/10 need to strengthen your replacements!
 
What about this squad anyone? In 2012, I've also got Jordan Spence arriving in January.

I also have Jack Butland and Febian Brandy out on loan, along with the top youngsters Portsmouth start off with at the start of the game.

Also where would you expect this team to finish in the PL just out of interest?

Thanks, I will look to strengthen my replacements ASAP
 
not sure about top 4 mate, I would be more realistic and say top half finish! maximum 7th, decent team there Andre' looks like a great player! Toloi is a great player as well! you need to look at a new Keeper though! take a look at some of the players I have suggested above! or you can PM and say ask for suggestions...

Team rating: 7.3/10, good midfield and wingers, striking and keeping weaknesses

---------- Post added at 10:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 AM ----------


nice Ajax team there and a good formation :) different!

left wing back looks like it needs a little attention! Saadi is on fire for you! he is a great young player! if you like your formation with the DM you may want to look at a new DM to bring in and train up for cover to De Zeeuw! Love Renan, did you buy him from my recommendation?

take a look at someone like Ognjen Vukojevic - Dinamo Kiev or Vincent Pajot - Stade Rennais or Necip Uysal - Besiktas maybe?

you also need a new Cb as Kara is decent, look at Mario Fernandes - Gremio, Neuton - Gremio (Pm me for any suggestions you need for your squad, will gladly help)

Team rating: 8.3/10 good mixture of youth and experience, good players in most positions but need cover for the postions I mentioned above :)

Cheers for the advice and i did look at improving my strike force but Welbeck has scored 44 in 71 and Nolan Roux has scored 46 and assisted 28 in 80 appearances so i didn't think that was to bad. Can you recommend me a striker and goalie then. I had 25 million to spend last summer.

Thanks pal.
 
Curious if you guys think I can compete for championship this season :

Thanks Raikan! Yeah, i bought Renan, Saadi, Verratti, Mariano etc. all on your (not only you, everyone on FM Base really) recommendations. They're class.

Kara or Enoh are my replacement for De Zeeuw, they're decent tho not world class.

My left wing position has always been my weakspot. I've retrained Romario and Mariano for that position so if someone falls out, i always have one replacement.

Mario Fernandes is class, i know. Wanted him but i don't want to loose my 2 central defenders as i believe Mario is much better. Plus, i also prefer league players of the same country (EG English Premier league, English platers etc.)

Once again thanks!
