Day one - Squad, Tactics, Mentoring, and Staff
This is going to be a long one, so bear with me.
Part one: Squad Review
Goalkeeper: Jessy Moulin
He's a solid, if unspectacular goalkeeper. Shame he's 35 as our backup is not up to par.
Right-back: Oualid El Hajjam
He's brilliant, in my opinion. Again, shame he's on the wrong side of 30.
Right Center Back: Yoann Salmier
The Guianese international is a very limited, slow, and really can't be relied on to do much other than win headers and mark.
Left Center Back: Erik Palmer-Brown
The American international, one of my former favorite American prospects in real life, is a solid option, but his mentals leave a lot to be desired. This makes center back #1 & #2 a big priority.
Left-Back: Abdu Conte
This guy has our LB spot sorted for a couple years, at least.
Defensive Midfield: Florian Tardieu
The hard working DM will most likely be a half back in our tactic, transitioning defense to attack.
Central Midfield: Xavier Chavalerin & Tristan Dingome
He'll be our box to box this season, until he loses his legs.
He has AP(A) written all over him.
Attacking Midfield: Luka Ilic
I'm not sure what role to play him in, but I'm less than pleased with our winger options, so we'll have to play narrow.
Striker: Renaud Ripart & Suk Hyun-Jun
The perfect pressing forward.
He'll be our target man, linking up play for the AM and PF.
Part Two: Tactics
The main tactic for this first season.
The ideal next tactic for us, if everything goes to plan in the transfer window.
Backup Backup plan.
Part Three: Mentoring & Youngsters
A full back group, center back group, and attacking group.
The top 3 youngsters out of these 5 are
All around Anas Namri.
Limited CB Tanguy Zoukrou
And attacking option Brandon Domingues.
And finally,
Part Four: Staff
We do have 2 assmen which I've never seen before. Double the useless advice.
We have 3 open scout spots.
And no sports science room.
