Will have an end of season update after the weekend. Palumbo is growning very fast, very solid on field, even if he hasn’t been actively contributing with goals or assists, as i hardly ever give De Paul some rest, as he is the big star. Will be taking the argentine’s spot on the team when he moves on for sure, i’ve been grooming him exactly for that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raymond85 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 So the first season is over, and it went nicely over our expectations. Some impressive wins, a great defense but there is still some room for improvement in the offensive side of the squad. We managed to get into the Europa League, and that will be a big challenge, and might be helpful to attract better loans and transfers. We were unlucky to lose to Italian Cup winners Napoli in a match during a packed schedule, with our players very tired. Our tactic seems to work wonders, as we have the best goals against by far in the league, and a quite average and goodish offensive potential. Now it will be up to the transfer market to determine how we are going to play next year, if still going 4-4-1-1 or switching to a double striker system, wingerless (3-5-2) or a classic 4-4-2 Time to dive into the summer transfer bonanza, we have loads of players to shift, and hopefully a couple of loans to retain or to buy (Bonifazi and Braaf) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also we now have many alternatives, hopefully will help with european football And this is what the squad looks like, still trying to get a feel for who is going to be playing in which position, but i'm very happy for now Will gladly provide some screenshots if someone is interested Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AddicksFan Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Decided to give Bologna a go, currently half way through first season. Started with the first window off, so onto January transfers, let a few of the older guard leave to free up wage budget. Finally decided to bring in Arezo, I'm normally at low rep clubs and can't afford him. He is certainly living upto the FM hype Also decided to bring in Gozzi as a longer term replacement to Danilo, a young left footed defender from Juve, highly rated and consistent performer. Also fits in with the signing policy of Bologna, he'll mainly be on the bench but will make the odd start this season Also got some future signings sorted, Soumaoro is currently on loan at Bologna and has impressed, so made him permanent as his contract was expiring in June. Major concern is the pre agreed signing of Barrow, he's inconsistent and never gets a good rating. Performing well in the League and was knocked out in the first round of the Cup by Lazio:- Looking forward to the end of the season and the summer clearout, we have many players both in the under 20's and out on loan who are nowhere near good enough to take the team forwards.

Vladis Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Brescia Calcio 2020 -2021 Serie B Coppa Italia Top goalscorer - Alfredo Donnarumma 22 goals Most assists - Stefano Sabelli 13 assists Highest avg. rat. - Stefano Sabelli 7.4 Player stats Transfers --------------------------------------------------------------------- Absolutely great season. Had some concerns before the start about our ability for returning to Serie A but after the half of the season it was clear that we deserve promotion due to our great form. Usually I struggle with narrow formations but this time 4-3-1-2 led us to the top with the most goals scored and less conceded. Happy with some players like Sabelli and Martella on the flanks who were our best assists, Cistana - Papetti partnership in central defense, Spalek and Donnarumma in attacking line. For the next season we need to strengthen almost every position in our squad to be competitive on higher level. Potentially we could give good money from selling Tonali who is currently on the loan in Milan and reinvest it to new players. Another task for the summer is to keep our main actives like Cistana, Papetti and Spalek. Also I plan big upgrade of our coaching and technical stats, reducing squads of u20 and u18 (normally i don't like to have more than 21 players there). And more global thoughts - what I want from this save? Priority for me is systematic development of the club. I could say I want to see after 10 years Brescia who is fighting for trophies with as many products of club academy as possible, the real pride of Lombardy and Italy on the whole. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed to keep 90% of the team aswell as a few signings and we smashed Serie B to return to the top flight. The first season in Serie A after strengthening again we schocked the league and came 3rd miles away from Juventus at the top. Season after 3rd again then we have e secured our first Serie A title.

Best of luck for the rest of the season 👍🏻 Bit of a strange season: we started losing to Juventus and then went 12 undefeated, and we almost never left second spot. Juventus is unreachable, but the Milanesi and Romane, Napoli and Atalanta are having a mediocre season, so we are going great in second spot. also selling De Paul for 75 mln helped me get the right players for my tactics: tonali, dimarco, braaf, celi and arezo are all really integrated. Loaning Musiala for 2 seasons was very important too, retraining him as a right wide midfielder worked wonders, and Cagliari’s relegation got me an experienced forward like Simeone to manage my young duo in front. the real superstar is Braaf, despite 4 determination he is growing and performing as a young Neymar and forcing Deulofeu on the bench most of the time. i think i got just the right blend of players for cheap, out of that monster sale Edited July 3, 2021 by Raymond85 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a couple of deals in Serie B but it was the amazing deals I signed when we got promoted that got us to 3rd in Serie A straight away.

Raymond85 Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 My summer was veeeery busy. I didn't want to change much, but a new board that put the club into exchange market made me want to go affter what i desperately needed: talented and young squad depht. So these ended up being our transffers: Big buys were the 3 arranged: Gomez Dimarco and Esposito above all. Then i snapped up cheap transfered players like Fosu-Mensah, Vallejo, Meret (for when Musso will leave), Alena and i splashed out in 18 year old wonderkid Savio, who already scored a screamer of a goal in his second match from the bench. I almost lost Musso to Milan and Inter, who both agreed to pay 60 mln € but he rejected both, as he is now touted a world class goalkeeper, given he is Argentina's starter, and performing majesticly. Milan and PSG tried to get TYonali at the last minutie, but both wouldn't pay the 60 mln i asked for. So now this is what the team looks like Our form has been unbelievable now.... we beat a full sided Real Madrid with no suffering whatsoever on our first friendly match, and thumped Juventus like i would never imagine. If teams come aggressive to us, we manage to play them put of the field with Celi, Alena, Tonali and Gomez all on the field together, while Simeone and Braaf are such clinical finishers, with the dutch being so fast.

Hoping to see a decent youth intake too, the last one was very disappointing, only one player at 4 star potential.. See your having fun with Udinese and got some nice players in too.....90M for Papetti too good to turn down... Look again at the screenshot……..haha I negotiated for £154m and they accepted. For a free transfer it’s crazy money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilsonJuve Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 One thing that is not major but I would like to see fixed for FM22 is the club Legends,Icons and Favoured Personnel. Despite winning Serie B an Italian Supercup getting to a Europa League and Champions League final and Winning 2 unexpected Serie A titles which are the first in the clubs history I remain in the Favoured Personnel column. Anyway back to the update. So Papetti left for Manchester United for £154m and United didn't stop there they also signed Luca Pellegrini from us who had only been at the club for a season and a half after joining from Torino for £10m they offered £55m upfront raising to a potential £74m and again I couldn't say no he wanted the move and wouldn't be talked out of it. As previously stated we managed to get Victor Osimhen for a cut price £32.5m after Napoli were relegated. Juan Lamberti joins for his release clause of £75m from Valencia as a direct replacement for Papetti at only 21 he is 3 years younger than the departing CB. Pellegrini needed replaced and we bought a 20yr old dutch wonderkid Tom Vos from Feyenoord for £22m thanks to a clause to leave for a Champions League team. Another youngster Karim Limouri was bought from Anderlecht for £41m to bolster the right back position as Tomas Esteves has been our best player in that position for the last 5 seasons but he is only on loan from Porto which they are happy to renew each season. And finally a man who I wanted from the start of the game has finally joined the club. After 4 seasons at Manchester United and another at Monaco Manuel Locatelli returns to Italian football at the age of 28 the deal was for £34.5m which is an absolute steal. Overall £205m spent on players and £209 million received potentially raising to £228m From starting the save with the lowest possible reputation (Sunday League) and NO coaching badges at all we are now considered world Class and have worked towards our Continental A Licence so who knows what the future will hold.

Raymond85 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 (edited) The strange winter world cup season is going great in the first half, we are undefeated, and through to knock out stages of Champions League. Our young strong passing counter game is working marvels, but inter is almost as good as us. it's going to take a lot of luck to win the Scudetto. This is how things are looking for now And as a bonus Yuriel Celi, by far our best performer with Braaf, scooped up both youngster awards Now onto winter transfer market. I'm not planning much, if outstanding offers don't come in. Might be loaning out some players like Esposito, Palumbo and Savio if there is interest, replacing with loans in. But will be on a case to case basis. Edited July 8, 2021 by Raymond85 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladis Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) В 30.06.2021 в 23:09, Vladis сказал: Brescia Calcio 2020 -2021 Serie B Coppa Italia Top goalscorer - Alfredo Donnarumma 22 goals Most assists - Stefano Sabelli 13 assists Highest avg. rat. - Stefano Sabelli 7.4 Player stats Transfers --------------------------------------------------------------------- Absolutely great season. Had some concerns before the start about our ability for returning to Serie A but after the half of the season it was clear that we deserve promotion due to our great form. Usually I struggle with narrow formations but this time 4-3-1-2 led us to the top with the most goals scored and less conceded. Happy with some players like Sabelli and Martella on the flanks who were our best assists, Cistana - Papetti partnership in central defense, Spalek and Donnarumma in attacking line. For the next season we need to strengthen almost every position in our squad to be competitive on higher level. Potentially we could give good money from selling Tonali who is currently on the loan in Milan and reinvest it to new players. Another task for the summer is to keep our main actives like Cistana, Papetti and Spalek. Also I plan big upgrade of our coaching and technical stats, reducing squads of u20 and u18 (normally i don't like to have more than 21 players there). And more global thoughts - what I want from this save? Priority for me is systematic development of the club. I could say I want to see after 10 years Brescia who is fighting for trophies with as many products of club academy as possible, the real pride of Lombardy and Italy on the whole. Quick summer update. With very limited scouting options it was not so easy to strengthen the squad but i'm satisfied with our transfer campaign. Fist of all we extended on long-term contracts our key players including Cistana, Papetti, Sabelli, Spalek, Donnarumma. We had no chance to extend Tonali`s contract who spent good season in Milan on loan and from the second attempt (firstly he rejected offer from Monaco) sold him to Newcastle for good price. 5 new midfielders in the squad (though I plan to retrain Ranocchia as fullback). Viviani returns to the team after one year in Chievo. And big hopes for loaned Tedic and Lucas. So with all new arrivals our squad now looks like this: Formation 4-3-1-2 (narrow) First XI: Joronen; Sabelli - Papetti - Cistana - Lykogiannis; Lucas - Ndoj - Bisoli; Spalek; Donnarumma - Tedic Second XI: Mazzini; Farago - Calabresi - Mangraviti - Martella; Segre - Viviani - Zmrhal; Bajrami; Aye - Torregrossa We had some problems with attracting qualified staff but two signings are really significant: HoYD Filippo Galli and fitness coach Massimo Neri --- And this is how our season in Serie A started: Edited July 8, 2021 by Vladis 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirkdiggler77 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 About to start my annual Calcio Saves so just been looking through the squads having a nose. I think i'm going to start with Roma usually they would seem to much like the easy choice but they have a hell of a lot of dead wood on ridiculous wages. Dzeko's on 250k p/w an he's 34 It's so weird not seeing Totti in the squad and the team really need that talismanic figure but they do have Zaniollo who was one of the main things that swung it for roma, he is different gravy. huge huge clearout required though. i want a low net wage team spend 100k tops and only that's for a special player. Fiorentina's squad is awful i love them but i don't have the strength to sort that mess out yet. One thing i have noticed going through the top clubs youth teams is there aren't a lot of world class wonderkids about, Lazio, Roma, Milan,Fiorentina the best is 4 star no 5's anywhere 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymond85 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Small winter moves: just some little adjustments: Reina came in during Musso's 2 week injury, will be good for getting the team determination up. Some youngsters come in, but also Michelin (french rightback with a bullet throw) and Oriol Busquets, as we keep picking up Barcelona's disaster squad management. Out on loan some non EU youngsters, as they cannot be registered, and Vallejo and Fosu-Mensah for more game time. Also our big sale of the window was Coulibaly, who i would have happily kept as backup but china pays cash. Lots of it. January is always a terrible month for me, lots of close games and full rotations for the cup matches. We had a horrendous set of matches back to back, and were quite unlucky but did good nonetheless. Full rotation for cup matches too, we might have a chance ffor another final. Still head to head in the league, will be another hard but interesting season. A quick glance of the current squad. Young and classy, as i love my teams. Still waiting to cash on Musso and Becao, let's see if it will be their summer. Happy to keep them, but have their replacement lined up anyway.
