john1 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Guys, I need your advice on this fella, I am not sure to stick with him at RB, but my assistant is currently retraining him as DM??

Also signed this guy in the summer and playing brilliant, not sure if I am better off playing Facchinetti to help his development, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you move some transfer budget to cover the wage budget? In lower leagues the best strategy I've found is to just sell all your players and use that money to loan in better players you can renew for low wage contributions and eventually sign on frees to replace the players you sold, since I assume you'll have no transfer budget. I never actually pay to sign a player until Serie B at least, if I sign anyone outright before that they're on a free and usually flipped for profit in a season or so. think I will do that after the season. Got 3-4 players who should bring 750-900k each. Will look for free transfers and loans after the season when I am hopefully in Serie C lol 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players in the FB position with the role WB(A) are very crucial to my style of play, so I wouldn't want to lose someone in that part of the pitch, personally, though he could definitely make a solid BWM. At the same time, he looks short and weak, and though his strength will improve, I might want a better header of the ball in the center of the pitch. And besides, training players in new positions never works for me - I'll train them in a new area for years and the color of the circle never changes, so it feels pointless to me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just appeared available to me towards the end of August, and thinking if I should get him. Any success with mentoring? I'm leaving everything to my backroom team in this save (it speeds things up ) so I can't say on the mentoring but I imagine he'll do well. He's solid for me, doing everything I want. I'm playing him as a DMs alongside Cataldi (who is a SVs) and his defensive attributes suit what I need. Surprisingly, he is also leading the team in key passes - I suspect because everyone ahead of him is moving and he's just giving them the ball!!! I'm not sure he has the technical skills for an all-action role, but if you need a defensive midfielder who is reliable and tidy in possession, and you can get him at a decent price, then he's certainly one of the better players of that type in Serie A. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really need him but for that price, he can be great especially with his Resilient personality. Decisions My main worry is squad registration, though.

sedge11 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) So after finishing my Man Utd save where I did 8 seasons, I wanted a save where I can do 12-15 seasons maybe and move around the leagues, to keep the save fresh and to see how many trophies I can win. Question was where to start, I've always loved the Italian leagues and have done many saves over the years but one team I have never been is Lazio. So welcome to my new save taking on Lazio. I decided to disable the 1st transfer window to get used to the team and play around with the tactics. But I did sort my staff. Now on to the squad, it's an interesting team with some quality players but does really lack any quality depth. Obviously Immobile and SMS are the key men, though I have already resigned myself to losing SMS at some stage. The wage budget is quite tight and they are already spending the limit, and with SMS the highest paid on 77k a week, I'm probably going to have to sell to buy come January. This is the tactic I have created to start with. It's very much a work in progress and will require plenty of work and tweaking.

bendixkunert2 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 SSD Palermo season 1 Not much did change except that we did take a rather shocking loss in the coppa. We also sold our top 4 players in January for a total of 4.5 million. We had the top spot locked up and we weren't going to extend their contracts so we cashed in. 3 of them went to the same team in Sweden for whatever reason. We continued to win the games but just a lot closer without star power. But regardless our squad will look completely different next year anyway. By gaining promotion we are a fully professional club again. The board expectations are reasonable for next season: Even though our sponsorship money is very low, our transfer budget due to selling those players is 2.4 million and they doubled our wage budget and we freed up most of it. So I can build a complete new roster. Youth Intake produced 3-4 4* star potential youngsters who should break into the first team next year. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an impressive amount of money to make off Serie D players. As for several going to the same Swedish club, I notice little amusing quirks like this too, though it's usually some random Australian club that will buy a couple of my rejects in bulk. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafaelbenitez Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 So, January in my Milan save, Chelsea offer a contract to my chief scout. I make a counter offer but he accepts Chelsea's offer and goes away. Turns out for some reason, he takes the entire list of scouted players with him and my new scout has to start from scratch That annoyed me to no end and so I've put the save on hold. I guess the scouting issue is just inherent to Touch so I thought I'd go ahead and start in the lower reaches of Italy in the full game. I don't use edited databases so it would have to be a Serie C team. My mind was set on Catania but browsing through the teams I finally settled on Piacenza because I remember them from Serie A in the early years of this millennium and also because they were predicted to come 10th, so I figured fairly low expectations. However, the board want playoffs and I feel I'm going to get sacked. Turns out 10th place is a playoff spot in this league . That's going to be fun. The club, for some reason has a limit of 2 scouts but already have 11 on the payroll. The squad is pretty decent for this level although I'm lacking backup on the flanks. Since I've disabled the first transfer window, I'm retraining a couple of players to fill those positions. Lost my second choice striker on loan from Siena for 3 months thanks to a torn hamstring. First qualifying round of the Coppa saw me play at home against Casertana, we won comfortably 2-0 in front of only 600 people (21,000 stadium capacity). This meets the minimum expectations of the board which is good as we're now away to Empoli which probably means the end of this cup run for now. Finances are surprisingly healthy, over a million in the bank although I'd imagine that will deteriorate in the coming months. I'd like to get the playoff spot although I kind of hope we don't get promoted as we do need to try and build a better squad to survive in Serie B. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraser Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Genoa – 20-21 Serie A to Matchday 20. Last time we finished near the end of October with Genoa sitting in an unexpected 4th place in Serie A, having just won the derby at Sampdoria, but with a nasty run of fixtures coming up. October: Just one last game to finish the month, with a home game against a strong Lazio side. We ended up with a 2-2 draw, which I’d have taken before the game, but we dominated and so it feels like 2 points dropped. Our goals came from Pinamonti and a club first from Kishna, Lazio’s strikes came from ex-Genoa man Laxalt and from Lazaro. November: We started November with a bit of a trouncing, with a Pochettino-led Inter far too strong for us. Lukaku gave them an early lead and we kept ourselves alive for most of the match, but late goals from De Vrij and Perisic gave the score a fair reflection. Our response was good point at home to Juventus. We took a first minute lead through Cassata, who is growing in influence each game, and Juve equalised in the first half through Ronaldo. We end November by getting back to winning ways, with a hard fought 1-0 win at Udinese – that man Cassata with the winning goal after 31 minutes. December: TIM Cup – we go through to the next round with a 2-1 extra time win at home against Carpi. I changed all 11 players, to see how the fringe players did and the answer was not that good. Pinamonti came off the bench to open the scoring before we let Carpi back in with a last minute goal. It was down to Pinamonti to win the tie with a penalty in extra-time. Back to the league and an ‘easier’ fixture at Frosinone. Goals from Cassata and Favilli gave us enough of a lead that their late goal to make it 2-1 didn’t matter. Next up was a dull 0-0 draw at home to Napoli. We then went to Sassuolo and escaped with a draw against a resilient opponent. Locatelli gave them the lead but Criscito smashed home a penalty with 5 minutes to go to make it 1-1. December ended with a much needed win at home to a Cagliari team who were playing well. Pinamonti striking with the only goal of an even game, just before the hour. January: The month began with another dull goalless draw, this time away to Parma. We controlled possession but carried very little threat going forward. Matchday 20 was a re-arranged midweek game at home to Atalanta. Another even game, not pretty to watch, was decided by El Yamiq coming up to head in from a corner and give us a 1-0 win. We end matchday 20 in a satisfying 5th place. Level on points with Lazio in 4th and a point ahead of Inter in 6th. We do get quite a few draws, but are really grinding out results. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a work-around you could either send your first team holiday (not sure this is that easy) or you could set them to rest for a week at a time. If I remember rightly, you can just select multiple players (not including loans out or red injured players) and right click, then choose "Rest" from the training options. I often do this when there is an international week and, as a result, I rarely have players listed as "needing a rest" late in the season. As an added bonus, they're not going to get injured in training if they are resting. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I hired my new scout (from Atalanta), he just came in with 3 reports, so it looks like whenever scouts change teams in FMT, they just delete all the reports on the computer before packing their boxes . Yeah, I'm going to try and shed the useless members of the team at the end of their contracts. I've noticed that when you exceed the number of recommended staff, the board never seem to accept your requests to increase the limit. Not going to look for upgrades at the moment. The bank balance is sinking, down to around 300k in mid October. Started at around 1.5m in pre-season. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I removed them, the numbers would be too low and the extra scouts helped discover more players. I hear what you're saying but I think I'll gradually reduce the numbers. Not going to mutually terminate any contracts. 11 scouts does seem a little excessive for a Serie C club though, no wonder most of these clubs struggle financially in the real world . Had a mixed start to the season. Beat Casertana in the first qualifying round for the Coppa Italia leading to a trip to Empoli. We played really well, matched them blow for blow. Sadly we missed a penalty in normal time and went on to lose on penalties. No disgrace but a tie with rivals Brescia awaited if we could make it through. The league campaign started with back to back away games to Carpi and Sambenedettesse. 1-1 and 0-0 was pretty satisfactory before we notched our first win at home. This preceded a defeat to Sudtirol who lead the league. We had another frustrating draw at home before 3 wins on the bounce see us in 3rd place in the table after 8 games, 4 points behind Sudtirol. The frustration comes from absolutely dominating games but wasting so many chances. We barely score. My joint top scorers are on 3 goals for the season. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They lost Ronaldo for 4 months due to a broken ankle, they zoomed up the table when he recovered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the fantastic start with Monza that got me my break. Then once at Napoli titles came rolling in. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weston Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 2 hours ago, quee said: One bug that still exist is the start of End of Season break, as it still depends on your youth teams to finish all their fixtures. In my 2nd season, we only had 3 DAYS of break, as we started back really early for the Europa League Qualifying matches. 3 DAYS! In my 3rd season, 5 weeks, could have been 8 weeks since the u18s didn't finished theirs 3 weeks after our last game of the season. Sometimes I'm tempted to reload and make the u18s lose their matches at the end, so we can go on holiday asap Edit: In fact, our games against Frankfurt in 2nd round, coincided with our training camp in Austria. It was never moved. I guess we trained in Austria, played in Italy and Germany in between Board auto-set the dates. Worth raising all of this in the bugs forum!

bendixkunert2 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 SSD Palermo 2020/2021 preview As one might expect, our squad did change a lot. We weren't able to extend any of the loans from last year however we did get Luigi Mendola on a permanent deal. We didn't spend all of our transfer budget but there really weren't a lot of good players interested in us that would be upgrades and not command huge wages. squad: season preview: some real solid squads in there. Should be a close race. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I renewed their loans for multiple seasons before signing them both on frees once in Serie A. Great guys. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weston Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Going into the winter break we are somehow top of everything! Wild. My team is not *that* good, and I feel like the big clubs are simply failing once again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weston Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Not sure how this clean sweep is possible, especially considering none of them played for more than half the calendar year: 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
