Champions Without Privilege: Defending the Scudetto on €12M

Winning Serie A is supposed to change everything — more respect, more resources, more margin for error.At Torino, it changed nothing.
After lifting the Scudetto in season one, the board once again handed me a €12M transfer budget. No safety net, no superstar signings.

Only in Serie A can a reigning champion be expected to defend the title — and compete in the Champions League — with a mid-table budget.
That context makes this season even more surreal when you consider history. In real life, Torino last played in Europe’s top competition back in 1976–77, long before the modern Champions League era. Returning to this stage — and doing it as Italian champions — only underlines how unnatural this situation feels.That reality shaped every decision in season two.

Competing on two fronts was never going to be about money. It had to be about profile recruitment, Match Engine understanding, and squad structure.Using installment deals, I built two solid squads — a clear Team A and Team B. A first XI capable of standing up to Europe’s elite, and a second unit strong enough to rotate without losing intensity. Rotation was planned, not reactive.The priorities were non-negotiable:Serie A and the Champions League.The Coppa Italia didn’t matter.---

Building a Back Line for Europe To survive against the best strikers and wingers in the world, one thing was clear:you need monsters at the back.

I was able to sign two towers, both ball-playing defenders, strong, fast, and aggressive, built specifically to cope with this Match Engine: Christian Matsima and Abdoulaye Faye.Against the insanely built squads you face in Europe, this is the only way to survive. Pace, power, recovery speed, and dominance in open space are mandatory — not optional.---

The Philosophy My recruitment logic is ruthless.
Every player who represents this team must fit the same profile.For me, the key attributes are non-negotiable:Aggression Teamwork Pace & Acceleration Finishing Composure Determination

If a player doesn’t have these, no technical quality can save him in this Match Engine.That same logic applied to the goalkeeper position.
I was able to sign Lorenzo Montipò — a goalkeeper I’ve always admired in previous FM versions. Cheap, confident, mentally strong, and reliable. Not a glamorous name, but exactly the presence needed behind an aggressive defensive unit.

---The Statement Signing

The biggest surprise of the summer was landing Davide Frattesi from Inter Milan.In this Match Engine, his attributes feel like a cheat code. Relentless movement, elite physical output, and perfect timing. A midfielder who doesn’t adapt to systems — he breaks them

---Europe Shows No MercyThe Champions League schedule offered no favors: Slavia Praha, Marseille, Atlético Madrid, Arsenal, Ludogorets, Monaco, and RB Leipzig. A brutal schedule...

— but one that rewards preparation, depth, and tactical clarity

---Domestic Disrespect, Again Despite being reigning champions, the bookmakers once again placed Torino in 11th. No narrative shift. No respect gained.

And honestly — perfect.This project has never been about expectations. It’s about making one system work against everything, building squads around roles instead of names, and proving once again that in this Match Engine, cohesion, physical dominance, and mentality beat cash.

Season two begins exactly how season one did — undervalued and underestimated.But this time, we have all the cards in our hands — and we fully intend to prove them wrong.

Most of all, I’ve found my love for this FM again.At release, that felt impossible — now, I’m fully locked in,thanks to this unbreakable system that gives me so much joy playing it.
First Champions League with Torino~Goosebumps :D

This FM year I have serious troubles to find a tactic how suits my squad...

First year, I´ve tried a 3-4-3 with good result, achieving 8th position (my team is Andorra, new in 2nd Spanish Division), so good position

Second year starts horrible, loosing with the same tactic like 6 consecutives defeats, and the first half of the season was very poor, so I tried the classic 4-2-3-1 tactic with great result leaving me 1 point short to the promotion playoff

Third year...same history, again the tactic who works fine (with 7 consecutive wins) with the december update...just disaster, put me on relegation position (21th) with only 8 points in 10 games...
I found this website so tried the 3-4-1-2 with excelent results, going up to the 6th position, with great defense and finally start to make goals, but again, yesterday (after defeating the day before the top teams of my division) looks like stop working again, with only 1 victory and 1 draw in 7 games vs teams in much lower positions :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

I hope this was just only a "stone on my way", but I´m starting to feel like in my game version tactics only works for 15 matches after being completely useless:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
Anyways, I´m gonna keep trust the 3-4-1-2(y)

I had the same experience like you,from the start i struggled to find tactic that will give me satisfaction to be able at least to complete season without changing tactic in the middle of the season,thid happened to me always playing with underdog until Vujevic sended me this 3412 with information that he conceded only 14 goals on holiday test with Liverpool,after I tried it and tweak it against some certain formations I was finally able to complete incredible season with Torino and start season 2 still dominating,so I would highly recommend to try it,especially for those addicted to this game,still struggling to enjoy in this year FM version.
Be free to ask for help to if you need advice😉
Try it and let me know how it goes

This actual season (as i posted) I discover the 3-4-1-2 from Vujevic, with freat result, obtaining 32 points in 14 matches!
But yesterday...once again, start to lose some "easy" matches against weaker rivals...maybe it´s just "one bad day" so i´m gonna stick to this formation and trust the process

THE EMIRATES CONQUERED 🔥

JOY AND PAIN

The Italian champions crushed Arsenal in their own home.
Our target man struck twice, pure power, pure dominance, silence in London.
But the night ended with heartbreak.After the final whistle, cruel news arrived — our right wing-back is out injured for 8 weeks.
Victory earned.A warrior lost.Europe has been warned :cool:

Trust the process,build a strong team,accept to lose game if you dont have world class players,use tweak against narow teams,and make sure to rotate your players every match,especialy wingbacks,they spend lot of energy on the flanks.

Which tactic are you using? Can you send it to me, bro? I want to try it.
 
Use both versions? Home and away?
You have main tactic that you should use 90% of the time.
Use away version only against teams who play narow 352 433 formations.
Plus I use main tactic against weak teams who play also 352 and 433 narrow,with one change in out of possession by moving 2 wingers on AMC positions,keeping the same team instructions

Her
Zamanın %90'ında kullanmanız gereken temel bir taktiğiniz var.
Deplasman versiyonunu yalnızca dar 3-5-2-4-3-3 dizilişleriyle oynayan takımlara karşı kullanın.
Ayrıca, 3-5-2 ve 4-3-3 dar dizilişle oynayan zayıf takımlara karşı ana taktiğimi kullanıyorum; topa sahip olmadığım zamanlarda ise iki kanat oyuncusunu AMC pozisyonlarına kaydırarak aynı takım talimatlarını koruyorum.
Hangi bir OI kullandın mı

TORINO MAKE HISTORY: SUPERCOPPA IS GRANATA

Zayed Sports City Stadium, Abu Dhabi – 21 December 2026

Torino wrote one of the greatest chapters in their history under the lights of Abu Dhabi, lifting the Supercoppa Italiana for the first time ever with a stunning 6–2 demolition of Roma.

The road to glory began with a hard-fought semifinal victory over Bologna — a test of nerve and character that Torino passed with grit and belief. It was the perfect prelude to a final that would become unforgettable.

From the first whistle, Torino played with fire. Nikola Vlašić struck early, Michele Collocolo followed, and what came next was pure domination. Collocolo completed a sensational hat-trick as Torino overwhelmed Roma with relentless pressure, fearless attacking, and absolute conviction.

Roma tried to respond, but this Torino side never wavered. Every goal, every run, every tackle carried the same message: this was their night.

When captain Luca Ranieri lifted the trophy, decades of waiting ended. Since the competition’s creation in 1988, the Supercoppa had never been Torino’s — until now.

This was more than a win.This was history claimed.This was Torino.
🏆
