WilsonJuve Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Started a season with Monza with a latest transfer update and the first transfer window turned off. To say things have started well would be an understatement. Bit of info as to why I decided on Monza.....There owned by Silvio Berlusconi the once owner of Serie A heavyweights AC Milan and they also have never in there history played in Serie A. I mean look at the results we managed in pre-season against Marseille and Leece. We led Parma in the cup until they completed a late turnaround. And in then league we have been SENSATIONAL its probably the best start I have made to a save in all my years playing CM/FM. Obviously no signings in with the first window being disbaled. Just a complete change of backroom staff and Tactical tweaks. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunmaN1905 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I'd say Bologna. They have a really good squad and are well covered in each position. Also, it's a bit more challenging. Some Inter players also got updates. Lukaku's finishing is 17, Handanović's positioning 18, De Vrij's passing 15. Lautaro is way more aggressive and is a pressing forward now, Bastoni is way faster, Barella also got some upgrades. Vecino also had some changes.

WilsonJuve Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Well heres a quick update on my Monza save. Picked them for a couple of reasons. 1.There in Italy's lowest playable league. 2.There well built for a promotion challenge. 3.There owned by ex AC Milan chairman Silvio Berlusconi. (Would be fun to get them to Serie A and overthrow his old club. To say the first season went amazing would be an understatement. The first thing I did was fire all the current staff and replace them with the best possible options available. I was also suprised at the calibre of player which wanted to join the team even though we are playing in Serie C. I did however decide against making any signings as the transfer budget wasnt really high and after we finished our pre-season I didnt feel there was a particular area that needed strenghtrning. A win against Marseille had me intrigued, follow that up with a home victory against Serie A side Lecce and recently relegated Benevento and I knew we were onto something. Yes there was a blip against Imolese but that was me tweaking around with tactics. The biggest games were in the Coppa Italia as these were actual football matches not friendlies. We desposed of Serie B side Crotone and were very unlucky against top flight Parma we had the lead until they scored in the 49th and 81st minute to complete the turnaround. Next came the serie B season and wow did we get off to a great start........ I beleive we went 20-0 before finally our first defeat which was to second placed Novara away from home, I was wounded! And as far as getting Berlusconi back to the top to challenge AC Milan that was over a few weeks later as he decided to retire and an internal takeover took place. The Novara game effected our form slightly as we won 3 and drew 3 of our next 6. That was until we went on a 10 game win streak scoring 38 and conceding only 5. We headed into the last game with only 1 defeat to our name, Sadly the occasion got to the players and we lost 2-1 to Pontedera. We absolutely cleaned up at the end of season awards and ,anaged to add the Coppa Italia di Serie C and Supercoppa di Serie C to our trophy cabinet. Its probably the best first season I have ever had in Football manager, And I have been playing since the championship manager days. So we went up and the board were not messing about with there expectations the minimum they expect is a top half finish in Serie B with working towards promotion to Serie A the 2 seasons afer before winning promotion to the top flight in 2023/24. I was expecting a bit of help on the transfer and wage front to make this happen. Sadly our wage budget went up a few thousand to £129,494 p/w but our transfer budget sat at £230,000. We also lost a few players whose loans had expired and a few of the old guard decided to retire. We did however manage to nab some amzing signings for the season....... First up Kevin Long still only 30 and playing Premier League football for Burnley last term he is immediately the best CB at the club and to get him on a free transfer was amazing. Next up Jakob Johansson formerly of Rennes can play CB/CDM/CM and is stronger than our current players. Another free transfer. Anton Pederson and Isak Bodin were just youngsters my scouts recommended one has 3 star potential the other 2.5 These were signed more to fill the squad out from the players retiring and leaving on free transfers. (think emergency backups) Then we move onto the main 3 Arsenal loaned us Gabriel Martinelli for no fee and he already has 4 goals in 3 games. He is a class above in this division and will really help us reach our goal. Next we have Tottenham young star Troy Parrot who also came in for no loan fee he also started well with 3 goals in 4 games. Absolute dream pairing up top. And finally Eddie Salcedo on loan from Inter Milan for a mere 9k p/m he also has 3 goals in 4 games for the club. These are our results so far. We have started pretty much where we left off and are 2nd in Serie B after 2 games following victories over Verona and Cosenza. There is however one MASSIVE FIXTURE which should stick right out Our greatest performance to date by far. There manager slated me before the game saying we didnt deserve to play them etc and to be honest I expected a crippling defeat. Heading into extra time all our players had much lower fitness than theres but we stuck in and managed a miracle. Cannot wait to see where the rest of this season takes us. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

XuluBak Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 As usual, sim the first season after winter window... Took on Atalanta, mostly just to play around with some different tactics. Won a treble (UEL, not UCL) pretty comfortably. Been itching for a longer-term project, but couldn't decide on what, where, how steep of a climb, etc. Finally landed on newly promoted (via playoff) Frosinone. Start 10m in the red, with a horribly bloated (and aging) squad. Some decent young players, but no one that's really ready for a significant role in Serie A. Just trying to get in the black and survive at this point. Pretty sure that would be the greatest season in their history. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

XuluBak Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Halfway through my first season in charge of Frosinone. Spent most of the summer restoring the club's financial health (-10M to +15M so far) and reinvesting in upgrading the clubs facilities and youth recruitment. We're not good, but we've managed to pick up enough results to be optimistic about our chances of staying up, largely thanks to Francesco Bardi in net (he was Serie B keeper of the year last season). No one else has really stood out and secured their long-term position the squad yet, but I'm giving younger players as much of a chance as I can, and moving aging players with expiring contracts to continue improving our financial standing. We've signed Simone Palombi from Lazio (on loan with Cremonese IRL), heading into the winter window, hoping he can provide a bit of a boost in the goal scoring department. The bar is astoundingly low. Spoiler 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in my 10th season at Roma and after I think 4 or 5 I got a new owner who more or less wrote off the clubs debts and gave me Frenkie de Jong and Joao Felix effectively for free, minus their massive wages. Since then there have been more rumours of takeovers but just the one so far, no luck with a new stadium despite asking but that's understandable as getting attendance to 100% at the Olimpico might be impossible. We are on a run of 5 straight titles and 2 CL wins and our attendance is still only about 58,000. Having said that the board did agree to expand the Olimpico to 76,500 or something at the end of this season. As I said this is in 2029 I think.

XuluBak Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) Completed my first season in charge of Frosinone. We were a little better going forward and defensively, not that it was always evident, in the second half of the season. Almost breaking even on goal differential. Palombi got off to a fantastic start, scoring in his (home) debut against Sampadoria. Then again a week later at Sassuolo. Nothing against Juve/Lazio, but notched a dramatic late equalizer against Milan. Three in his first five. Unfortunately, he'd only manage one the rest of the way. Still good for second on the team, behind Camillo Ciano (DLF/IW/AM) with a whopping 8 across competitions (6 league, 2 cup). They'd be our signing and player of the season, respectively. Tosin Adarabioyo (BPD), a loanee from Man City, now signed on a free, was our young player of the season. Bardi had a couple rough outings, but overall, did pretty good for us in net: 13 clean sheets, 37 conceded, ~7.5 saves/game in 34 appearances. Second half results: Spoiler That Parma match was brutal. Went into it flying high, on a run of three straight, coming off our best result of the season, with a chance to secure safety, at home. We never showed up. Down 3-0 at halftime, benched Bardi, and managed to spare ourselves further embarrassment. Results elsewhere would secure our safety before Roma, which was an even worse performance, if not result. Final Table: Spoiler Team Overview The past season was about survival and financial security. Our near future is about finding our team identity and solidifying our position in Serie A. Three at the back or four? One up front or two? Control the ball or park the bus? Waste time or go, go, go!? We tried a bit of everything in 2020-21 to survive, but to build on that, we need to choose a path, and bring in players to make it work. (I'm strongly opposed to playing a highly-aggressive, gegenpressing system with this save as I find it to be quite overpowered once you get it right, which gets kinda boring) Spoiler GK: Almost certainly the strength of the team I inherited. Bardi was Serie B keeper of the year; Bastianello was arguably even better in limited relief appearances this year; we already had 2-3 keepers behind them in various stages of development and our only real promising recruit in our 2021 class was another keeper. If only they offered a more valuable revenue stream. CB: Solid with good depth. Room for upgrades, but relatively low priority at this point. If anything, we might need to unload one or two options to keep players happy. FB/WB: Adequate, at best. We've signed two Greek LB/LWBs on free transfers and will likely look to add a RB/RWB over the summer. DM/CM: Solid, but not very impactful most days. Ideally, we'll hold onto Ciano and move him into the middle of the park to finish out his career, but not sure that's viable this year. Wings: Ciano was probably most impactful as an IW on the right, but we got almost no production from these positions otherwise. So far our biggest acquisition heading into the summer has been Marlos Moreno, another free transfer from Man City, currently on loan with FC Koln (Portimonense IRL). Our scouts loved his potential, I'm a fan of his versatility. If nothing else, hopefully, we can develop him and capture that value. Strikers: In addition to Palombi, we brought in Villalibre (from Athletic Club) on an 18-month loan with an option to buy. We also have a promising 16-year-old prospect, Silvio Miano, that may play up top or out wide. Too early to tell. None are likely to be winning golden boots, or leading us to the scudetto anytime soon, but all three have enough potential, that we need them playing as much as possible for development, and to see what we've got. Warchest: €11.5M. Not a lot, but more than I expected. Value will probably drive our summer activity more than need. Edit: The board has approved a stadium expansion from 16,227 to 17,480.

quee Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 @ParanoidBuddha I've updated my facepacks, downloaded the new TCM '20 logos (not sure if they are any difference to the '19 version, though), etc. Is there anything else I should do before starting? Deleted the dbc, inc, edt files and downloaded the real names fix. I read that Japan will not call local-based players for their National team? Is there a workaround? I seemed to read there were a few things to do before starting FM20 when browsing the topic, now I can't recall all of them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
