I present you the cheat code, Milinković-Savić played as a striker

Nearing the end of season 3, pretty stacked Champions League this year in the quarters! We got the upper hand in the 1st leg, hope to finish it away!

Quite good, the finances are solid, after I got back to CL. But its hard to keep your best players, for example I had to sell Vlahović after 2nd season. PSG came with an offer, he became unsettled in the winter window, developed the status to look for options at the end of his contract, and didn't want to talk with me, so I sold him in his last year of contract, which obviously is not great cause you won't bring anyone of his quality thats available on the market - at I struggled and got Taremi for a replacement, but I'll have to explore options to upgrade in a season or two. Also the tactic I chose 4-2-2-2 was a struggle at the start - not many wingers in the team, and still Im not that happy with it, have to polish it more, cause now I have players for it. It's fairly fun, not as easy as it was in previous editions, rebuild is real

Bit late to the party this year, but finally started a save with Juve with the db update, so I'm out of European competition. Planning to play 4-4-2 with both wingers higher up the pitch, and build the squad around Chiesa/Locatelli/Vlahović and Bremer. Currently exploring some options if I could offload some of the deadwood, not much in the bank to spend €20M. We'll see if I'll be able to bring some quality to the team.

And yet another post from me Season 1 Update Serie A What a great campaign it has been, Milan has been really crazy good at being consistant, but we managed to catch them near the end of the season - I even catched them 3 fixtures before the end, and passed them, but after loosing the Coppa Italia final game, we really had a bad form in the final 2 games of the season... After a diasspointing draw vs Verona (away) in the 37th fixture, Milan got passed us by 1 point - absolutely gutted, into the final fixture we played Fiorentina (H), while Milan went to play Sampdoria (away) and after 45 minutes, we would be the champions - Milan has been drawing 1-1, while we were in the lead 2-1 after goals from Di Maria and Vlahović, thing started to look even better for us - shortly after the break we raised our lead to 3-1, and Milan had Bennacer sent off! I really started to believe, but Milan went to win 3-2 with man down, and my players stopped playing in 80min+ like they would know it doesn't matter and we drew 3-3 in the end. So a bit gutted about the end result, but it has been a really good season nontheless, with catching Milan, but we weren't good enough in the end. As expected the teams depth proved to be an issue espescially during January and February, where I had big issues at full backs position with numerous injuries, but also no good rotation in the midfield and on the wings. When I hoped at least Vlahović would be crowned the top scorer with 28 goals, I got to know that mr Immobile did something just incredible - as he banged 42 for Lazio to help them reach 4th place and securing a champions league spot. Our offence prooved to be really strong with 103 goals scored - but I'll be tweaking the tactic a bit - we weren't consitant with those goals, we sometimes had unreal games like 7-0 vs Sassuolo, or two consecutive 5-0 over Verona and Udinese to follow that up with 0-0 and 1-1 shortly after vs Torino and Sampdoria, and I would like to tighten the defence a bit - this is something my team struggled espescially at the start of the season where we were loosing a lot of goals and constantly lost goals like 4-2 vs Napoli, 2-2 v Lazio, and even teams like Cremonese, Monza and Spezia were scoring vs us. But I'm working on that already, and the tweaks seem to be working. Champions League After finishing 2nd in the group stage we've faced and incredibly tough opponent in the first knockout stage - Man City, and damn it really was a challenge Home - First game at home felt really good, City has been doing mistakes and we managed to use that - after a bad pass from Ruben Dias, Vlahović intercepted the ball and scored after a first time shot. The game went to an end with us having a slight advantage before the 2nd leg in Manchester. Away - We went to Manchester with high hopes, to stop City, and hold to the lead - and those hopes got even bigger after we had an early goal! Ruben Dias made another mistake, and he netted an own goal after a cross from Di Maria! What a start in the 6th minute, unfortunately City came back into the game in the 19th minute after a goal by Haaland. That was it for the first half - still a decent result for us, but the 2nd half was just a disaster... De Bruyne in the 50' minute, Haaland got a second goal in the 61st', Grealish made it impossible in 69th' and Bernardo Silva finished us off in 85th'. 1-5 and absolute trashing at the Etihad, absolutely gutted - it was one of those games that every shot found the net - xG for City was 1,96 in this game, but they banged 5! Well a really bad ending for our season in CL, and an early exit - definetly we will need to improve next season. Coppa Italia The coppa as usual started late for a top team like us, and went fairly well, won 3-0 over Roma in the quarter final, faced Inter in the semis where we managed to pull off a 0-0 (A) and 2-0(H) to advance to the final. Where we faced Atalanta, and... again a big let down, we've lost 0-2, went down very early, as Pasalić scored in the 2nd minute, Atalanta scored another goal just before the first half whistle as Muriel found the net in the 42nd'. Cuadrado ended our hopes in the 2nd half after getting a red card in the 60th minute and it was it. Lost 0-2. Overall we messed all of our chances - but it is what it is, and hope we can come back strong next season. Transfers: Well I went on a small spending spree, after ammasing the money in the winter transfer window, we had the bank filled up - though we didn't get more than that, and had €70M to spend. In: Jamal Musiala - €70M (rising to a whooping €110M) - from Bayern - so I wanted to buy a new number 10! A leader that will stay with us basically forever, I've been aiming Musiala, Szoboszlai, Fati, Reyna, Kai Havertz - but basically non of the teams wanted to negotiate with me, apart from Bayern. And we worked out a deal €70M + €7.5M after 50 league games, €29M after 20 international games, and €3,5M in a case of winning Coppa Italia ( ) - it's a lot, but having it spread over a period of 2 seasons, is something I could afford, and I think Musiala might be the real deal for the next 10 years+, he's also off to a good start - 3 goals in 2 games in champions league, and 2 goals 3 assists in 7 league games. Oumar Solet - €16,75M (rising to €19,25M) - from Salzburg - A good backup for my CB position, as Scalvini is still developing, also Solet can cover the DM position - and I really like this versality, and he really proves to be a really solid player for the team. Marco Carnesecchi - €15M (rising to €26,5M) - from Atalanta - My board was not happy with me spending so much on him, but he seems to be the only GK talent Italy has to offer (apart from Dollaruma, but obv he's unbuyable), looking forward to development of Marco, and hope he'll replace Szczesny in a season or two. Bryan Cristante - €12M - from Roma - and last but not least, I've brought Cristante into my rotation - I've been scouting him in the winter, but didnt make an offer in the end - got surprised late August by my scouts reports where they suggested that Cristante will be available for €10-13M, and I had an offer of €12M accepted, a good rotation player for DM/MC and in case of an emergency he could play CB. A pretty good price I would say for another versatile player. Dejan Kulusevski - €0M - from Tottenham - back from loan - this surprised me a lot, Tottenham after Kulu having a good season for them didnt use the €36M clausule and they sent him back to Turin - so another great player who joined, which I totally was not expecting to happen. Out: Apart from Bonucci, Danilo and Rabiot who basically sponsored those buys, I offloaded some of the teams deadwood: Daniele Rugani - €5M - to Roma Juan Cuadrado - €7M - to R.Madrid - a solid player but he started to decline fast in the physical attributes and decided to offload, and free up his big wages. R Madrid were interested in him for a long time, and I felt this is a decent offer for a 34 old Columbian (going into 35 this season). Dennis Zakaria - €14.25M - to At. Madrid - Most likely Zakaria would stay with us, but after the deal done with Cristante he seemed to be not needed - Atletico came with a decent offer Marco Pjaca - €5M - to Lyon Gianluca Frabotta - €5M to Bournemouth Arthur - €2M loan to AC Milan - obligatory buy for €20M after 10 league games - unsprisingly Liverpool didnt opt to buy Arthur out, couldnt offload him straight, but Milan offered a decent loan deal which I accepted - 10 league games seem to be a very easy condition to be met, and I never planned on using him. Ihattaren - €5M to Midtylland Kaio Jorge - loan to Salzburg - he seems to be developing fairly well, and I'll be keeping the young Brazilian in my rotation next year, with Milik making space for him. And that's it, a really nice transfer window, and the team seems to have way more depth now with the new comees, and players like Luca Pellegrini, Nicolo Rovella coming back from their loans.

Finished my January transfer window, which ended up pretty well Transfers In: Yannick Carrasco - loan from At. Madrid - €0M 70% of wages - option to buy at €46M (which I won't utilize :D) - Ive been struggeling with backup wingers, and Carrasco seems to be a good fit here, he was transfer listed at Atleti and the terms of the loan were really good Nikola Milenković - €22M + (€6M after 50 league games) - I felt I'll need to strengthen my CB roster, as Scalvini and Gatti aren't first team material (the issue when starting one year before on an updated db :D) - It was between Milenkovic and Mancini (had a deal for Mancini for around €30M), but the Italian asked for higher wages, bigger team role, also Roma kept adding a replacement clausule to the deal - and it nearly was deadline day. So I've decided to go for the Serbian. Seems like a good deal here, Mancini ended up in Newcastle (for €36M). Most likely Nikola will jump into the first XI replacing Bonucci. Transfers Out: So I had clubs sniffing, and received offers/enquiries for 3 of my players - Bonucci, Rabiot and Danilo. I've negotiatied all of them to take place in the summer (end of the season), suprisingly for me - I had this request accepted by all the AI clubs, so I did end up selling all 3 of them, but they'll remain with the team till the end of the campaign. Leonardo Bonucci - €6,5M (€1,5M over installments) - to Liverpool - the English club enquired about Leo, and I was more than happy to sell the snake. Also freeing up €225k p/w from wage budget, but as mentioned he'll stay in the team till the end of the season Adrien Rabiot - €40,5M (€20M over installments) - to Man Utd - what an irony to what happened in real life, but yeah really good offer in my opinion and the Frenchman will join United in the summer Danilo - €42,5M (€12,5M over installments) - to Tottenham - again an offer I couldnt resist. the ageing Brazilian has been an imporant puzzle of my team, but this as Tottenham agreed to leave Danilo at my club till the end of the season, I've accepted This unconventional method of selling left me with a really nice budget to use - €60M in the bank, and I'll try to secure Szoboszlai for the summer

Halfway through the season I think, I'm doing pretty fine with 45 points after 19 games, had an embarassing lose vs Fiorentina 1-3 (A) and vs.... Salernitana (A) 0-2 after an early red card for us. But still 45pts sounds good to me, but Milan are just crazy, winning every single game - they've only lost to me 1-2 and early into the season vs Atalanta and apart from that they're perfect! 51 pts, crazy. Champions League, I've finished 2nd behind PSG - lost a game to Benfica in the 1st fixture (1-2) which cost me the ability to fight for the first place, after two draws vs PSG. This makes us face an extremely tough opponent in the first knockout stage - Man City. As I expected I struggle with depth in the team - now I'm working on a loan deal for Carrasco who is transfer listed for Atleti - and seems that he could be a solid rotation player. Suprisingly I've also unsettled Szoboszlai, but unlikely I'll gather the money during winter transfer window to acquire him.

Started my season as Juventus with the newest fmpr0 update. Transfers In: Gianluca Scalvini - €5M from Atalanta - Big hopes for the young player, scouts rating him for 4,5 stars - hopefully a long term partnership with Bremer Tommaso Pobega - €13M (€5M upfront and €8M over 3 intallements) + possible €2,5M (after 50 league games) - really happy to bolster up our Italian lineup - as there's a bug in the fmpr0 update that I cannot register Paredes (additional non-EU player), I badly needed an additional player for my midfield, Milan wanted to negotiate with reasonable pricing on the young Italian, so I went for it. Transfers Out: Felix Correira - €2,7M (rising to €3,5M) to Porto - doesn't look like he'll develop into a world class player, and Porto came with a good offer so I sold him. Some other youngsters which I didnt rate highly - for a total of around €1,2M Kaio Jorge - loan to D. Moscow - with Milik in the rotation on the ST position, I wouldn't find enough time for the Brazilian so I've decided to loan him out. Main targets for the next transfer windows would probably be the AML position, Di Maria will be getting older and I'll want to move Chiesa back to AMR. I'm eyeing Dominik Szoboszlai or Gio Reyna - but we'll see, both most likely will be very very pricey. I'll look also for strengthening the left back position - but I cannot recon any candidates as of yet. I'll also try to bring the young Carnesecchi. The Squad: GK: Szczesny RB: Cuadrado/Danilo CB: Bremer CB: Bonucci LB: Alex Sandro DM: Locatelli MC: Rabiot ~~ I can see Pobega taking his place MC: Pogba AMR: Di Maria AML: Chiesa ST: Vlahović The team as it is now lacks a bit of depth, but that'll be something to work on in the next years. Espescially with players like Rovella coming back from loans, the situation should get better. So far a good start to the season with a win over Monza at home (5-1), and 3-1 away over Cremonese, and Pogba being really on fire in those games, 3 goals from the midfield.

@kad38mind sharing a screenshot of Zaniolo?

I'll be starting a new Juve save tomorrow with the new fmpr0 update, as my last save this year. I'll need to fix what Allegri is destroying so much.
