Generation-Next Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Introduction Welcome to the AS Monaco thread. After Monaco's relegation in the 2010-11 season, two thirds of the the club was sold to an investment group led by Russian Billionaire, Dmitry Rybolovlev. With Rybolovlev's financial backing, the club quickly returned to Ligue 1. So this year is the teams first season back in the top division. With a massive transfer kitty - can you make Monaco, 8 times, Champions of France? 2013/14 In the Summer of 2013 Rybolovlev showed that he was willing to spend money. A lot of money. Here's a run down of the transfers Ricardo Carvalho - Free Transfer Eric Abidal - Free Transfer Ramadel Falcao - €50mil James Rodriguez - €45mil Joao Moutinho - €25mil Geoffrey Kondogbia - €19.5mil They were joined by players such as; Fabinho (loan) Borja Lopez Sergio Romero (loan) Nicolas Isimat-Mirin Gaetano Monachello Jérémy Toulalan Players who left; Dennis Appiah Carl Medjani Stéphane Dumont Ibrahima Touré Adriano Valentin Eysseric Jérémy Labor (loan) Martin Sourzac (loan) Alexandros Tziolis Nampalys Mendy Gaetano Monachello (loan) Edgar Salli (loan) Jerome Phojo (Loan) Aadil Assana (Loan) Tristan Dingome (loan) So, that is my opening to the thread, not much, I know but in the next part I will go into the History of the club, and also show you the squad.

humpeljulbonus Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Ive started a save with Monaco, seems interesting. I have the goal to recruit profilic players. Im used to getting in the youngest meat there is and mold them, so now I have to rethink a bit... Can you give any hints of players the board would be happy with and that are also not that old? Im also having a new team philosophy: Attacking players should have teamwork 12+ and off the ball 12+ Defending teamwork 12+ and anticipation 12+. What I hope to accomplish with this is a team that will be good with movement and with each other. Feedback on this will be gladly received . Previous years Ive just run with high amount of bravery and physical stats. After a couple of years that gives a crushing machine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattias333 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Really interested to see how Financial fair play works within the game for clubs like Monaco, PSG etc....could do with someone doing a Financial Fair Play for dummies guide etc...Good opening Post.

Albanian_Kid Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 one of the main problems with these mega rich teams is potentially filling out the HG quota rule for when you finally get to Europe...based off last seasons players heres some recommendation of players that will count as HG trained by club, alot of them were products of Monaco before they were relegated Ruffier GK Bulot LW , not a world beater but should be a good fourth choice winger type Nkoulou CB plays for marseille Theirs also an other CB who plays for Evian from Congo, wouldn't cost much and he would be a good fourth choice im assuming that Carassco kid is gonna get a huge boost in this years game, because he was so-so in '13 has had a good start for Monaco....GK is a must, and the defense imo is Monacos weakest point atm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
humpeljulbonus Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I need some help with signing prolific players. As i see it the dl dr and left wing along with gk are the positions most in need of talent. However when i bring in decent high star youths/semi youths the board are unhappy with me and want me to sign more prolific players. Please give me some ideas of what those could be that would be good for the team and wont ruin my bank.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm tempted to start with Monoco, but the expectations would be crazy, expecially having to stay in the FFP & Home-Grown status Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel.preston35 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Anyone having any luck with Monaco? I'm finding it the same as last year in the fact that because you have so much money they game is rigged and you can't win. I've got various tactics I have tried and tested with teams of different levels and nothing! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogzilla86 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Just started with Monte Carlo, so far signed Astori from Cagliari, Coentrao from Madrid, Montoya & Tello from Barcelona, board arent happy with the lack of High Profile signings, but felt I should strengthen the whole defence instead of just one player (I realise Tello is a winger) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
~MD~ Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 It took me several goes to get a successful Monaco save going, but it's a really fun team to play as if you can make it work. The defensive options (including keeper), are pretty ordinary and needs to be addressed right away. Atletico Madrid's Miranda can be bought for 3 million and Patrice Evra for 1.5, if you wait until the end of the first window. I also bought Azpillicueta for 15 million and Anthony Revielliere (free) at right back and sent Fabinho back to Brazil to open up a non EU spot. Lescott, Drogba, Seydou Keita and Nene are good options, if you're after experienced players who can still go and are available at a good price. The real fun starts in the second season when you have 100 million+ to spend and European football to attract world class players. And don't worry about FFP - I've spent a ridiculous amount of money on transfers and wages and haven't even come close. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overparduffer Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Anyone having any luck with Monaco? I'm finding it the same as last year in the fact that because you have so much money they game is rigged and you can't win. I've got various tactics I have tried and tested with teams of different levels and nothing! I just gave them a go and had a tough time. Started winless through my first 8 or 9 league games. Then went on a good run to go from bottom of table up to 9th. However by then the Board was pissed and I got sacked mid-December after two straight draws against weaker opponents and a loss in the League Cup. Their defense was weak so added a DC (Zouma?) and DR (Clyne?). I also needed a F9 for my tactic so I picked up a striker that fit in that role. Honda was coming in on January 1 and would have really helped out I believe. The Board wanted high profile signings and I didn't do that. Just don't enjoy overpaying for players that have already peaked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mou321 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 The second season is when it gets really interesting, you get 100m+ to spend which allows you to shape the squad how you want it. The squad needs alot of work it must be said defence is quite average, midfield is decent with Kondogbia and Moutinho and upfront you have Falcao. Only real creativity you have is Moutinho.. It's a good save but be prepared to see out the first season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAYLORSAFC Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 A was having some shocking results was playing well aganist the big teams but my home form against the smaller clubs was terrible was getting beat 4-1 think its a mix of signing lot of new players and takes time to get used to tactics really struggled to get going in my game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barkers Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 think im going to have a dabble with Monaco. usually take mid to bottom level top division clubs and turn into power houses but would be nice to be able to afford the top players in the game straight off the bat and not when they are 32/34 year old free agents Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
liverpool-fc Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Just started a game with Monaco. Can anyone offer any reassurance on how to deal with the FFP rules while in charge? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gungner Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 FFP is not really something you should be concerned with. I've had saves with both Monaco and Chelsea, and I've spent a lot of money, but have never felt the FFP. I guess when you have a rich owner, they will cover any loss you have.
