Tsakalaki Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Naples (Italian: Napoli [ˈnaːpoli], Neapolitan: Napule; Latin: Neapolis; Ancient Greek: Νεάπολις, meaning "new city") is the capital of Campania and the third-largest municipality in Italy, after Rome and Milan. As of 2012, around 960,000 people live within the city's administrative limits. The Naples urban area, covering 1,023 km2 (395 sq mi), has a population of between 3 million and 3.7 million, and is the 8th-most populous urban area in the European Union. Between 4.1 and 4.9 million people live in the Naples metropolitan area, one of the largest metropolises on the Mediterranean Sea. Società Sportiva Calcio Napoli, commonly referred to as Napoli, is a professional Italian football club based in Naples and founded in 1926 (refounded in 2004). The club has spent most of its history in Serie A, where it currently plays its 2012–13 season. Napoli has won Serie A twice, in 1986–87 and 1989–90.They have also won the Italian Cup four times and the Italian Super Cup, and on the European stage have won the UEFA Cup in 1988–89. Napoli is also the most successful club in Southern Italy and the fourth most supported football club in Italy. The club has had several name changes since first appearing in 1926; the most important of these was in 1964, when it was changed from Associazione Calcio Napoli to Società Sportiva Calcio Napoli. The most recent change was in 2004, when the club went bankrupt but was refounded by film producer Aurelio De Laurentiis as Napoli Soccer; he restored the name to Società Sportiva Calcio Napoli two years later. The bankruptcy of the club in 2004 had seen it placed in the third division of Italian football (Serie C1), but progress of the reformed club was swift and after just three years it returned to Serie A.

Tsakalaki Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 2012-13 Team Roster GOALKKEPERS De Sanctis should be your first choice, non only for this year, but also for maybe two more!. Rosati can replace him for some cup matches, but you should get a talented GK at the end of the season, so he can replace De Sanctis CENTRAL DEFENDERS It depends from the tactics you are gonna use. For 3-5-2, Cannavaro-Britos-Uvini can do their job, and Fernandez - Gamberini will be their cover. You have to look up for DC's in summer of '13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsakalaki Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 FULL BACKS You don't have any problem, 'cause it position is covered. You can rely to Maggio - Campagniaro for your right and to Zuniga - Dossena for your left. Due to their ages, you have to watch out for new players. There are a lot players in Italy than can cover you MIDFIELDERS Three players from Switzerland...But awkward but they can dominate, along with Hamsik...

Tsakalaki Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 STRIKERS You will soon be in...love with Insigne. Pandev worth his money but you can get some good cash if you sell him. Vargas needs time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsakalaki Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 TACTICS 1. 3-6-1 It's a good start up tactic, but you have to see what's your needs 2. 4-3-3 It's the Grid System. I love this tactic, it's the one i use. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommonufc Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 First of all nice images, they look great. Would like to see more information about the players though, very basic at the moment. You could really extol the virtues of some great players here - Cavani, Hamsik, Insigne to name but three. Cavani doesn't even get a mention Potential transfer targets, where and how to strength the squad or starting XI - budgets given to you to do this etc. etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranquelme Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Loved my Napoli save last year. I played a 3-5-2 counter attacking, Lavezzi and Cavani were beasts, too bad Lavezzi has gone though and what Tommo said^ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the players that ensures your win if you have clean sheet in a game. So simple... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff3037 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Finished my first season with Napoli playing a 3-5-2 formation. My focus for transfers was bringing in some much needed youth to the back 3. Capuano and Bellusci were fantastic and came cheap. I was surprised that I managed to buy Capuano in January as co-own for 2m and the other half for another 2m. I recommend both players for the first team and they have plenty of potential on top of that. We did fantastic in the first half of the season losing just one match! After the break we had a terrible run for about 10 matches where we only won 3 times! I had about 6 players out injured for 3-4 months and I only use a small squad of about 20-22 so I had a lot of the youth in the first team for a few of those matches. We did eventually end up winning the title and the cup narrowly. For my second season I was hoping to bring in Andre Ayew from OM who looks like a machine for the left wing but he opted to go to Chelsea. He was my main target and now I'm struggling to find anyone for either wing. Both my main wingers Maggio and Dossena are starting to lose pace and there is nobody that is good enough and willing to come to Napoli to replace them. For this reason I'm thinking of trying a a 4-3-1-2 formation for the second season and see how it goes in the champions league particularly. Now I'm looking for a good young left back.. I was looking at Santon but he's gone to Liverpool. Possibly M'Bengue, Deigo Contento or Heracle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fyrefuze Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 What no Roma in top 5?? Decent transfers out there. Bellusci has been a great buy for me too but I am playing him as RB. If you would have been vigilant enuf you could have got Vladimir Weiss and Estigarribia on free in January, both of whom could have solved your problem on either wing. Bocchetti is also available on bosman and could have been a solid defensive addition. 4-3-1-2 is good for europe but with so many teams in Serie A playing with 5 mids you might struggle domestically.

Balotelli Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 so far ive got bellusci, isco, lisandro lopez and fierro on loan with an option to buy. i had to stretch the budget a fair bit, but hopefully the sale of pandev will solve that. shortlisted bocchetti so hopefully get him on a free nezt year, im excited to see how far the partnership of isco and hamsik can go. had a decent pre season playing mainly 3-6-1. zuniga, maggio, and dossena are all still very good and shouldnt be sold lightly.

Ranquelme Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Bochetti has joined Spartak Moscow in real life so after the patch (when I intend to have a Napoli save) I won't be able to get him cheaply! I'm excited by their signings in January so this moreso than Roma might be where I end up! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranquelme Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 They brought in Porto defender Rolando, Pablo Amereo (wingback/winger) from Udinese, Mazzarani midfielder again from Udinese, Josip Radosevic from Hadjuk, Calaio from Siena. They let go of Dossena, Aronica, and Uvini on loan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

InterWolf Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Uploaded with ImageShack.us Can anyone beat this? Obviously I've got a very good team by now (4 out of the last 5 CLs), and I've had the odd 10-0, but never anything like this - Pires doubled the scoring in a match record!

Balotelli Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 just started up a game with napoli, as previous posters have said always like playing as napoli in previous games. stretched my budget and shipped pandev off to WBA, so far ive brought in florenzi and maituidi (on loan) hopefully belluschi will be joining them.

iMan Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 First season I won the super cup, Italian cup, League and Uefa cup. 2nd season league, Italian cup and CL. The CL campaign was mental. Lost 3-0 away to Barca in the first game in the semis thought I was out of it but won 5-1 in the 2nd leg. 3-0 up at half time, a 4th in the 2nd Pedro got an away goal in the 77 min and Floreniz got a 92nd min goal to send us through. One of the best fm games I ever played. Got City in the final down 2-0 at HT get 2 goals in the 2nd half and then in the 2nd half of ET Hamsik scores a pen. I've been playing a 3-4-3/3-4-2-1 Team in 3rd season is Ter Stegen Capoune Douglas, Astori Maggio, Inler, Berhami, Amero Hamsik, Florenzi Cavani Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candre168 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Just wanted to say, I emulated this formation on my Napoli save (except the Wingers are Attacking and I'm playing a short possession game). Still, it works wonders. 2nd at the moment behind Juve but the players play fantastic. I have Armero/Corchia on the wings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
