Paul Pogba is back. Yildiz has had massive upgrade in some saves seen him and Iling Junior both hit around 177 PA Pogba banned until 30/06/2025 in game

I know but at 29 his stats are going to fall off in the near future and a he was wanting a new contract on higher wage £73k per week which would see him be in the top 4 earners at the club on around 5% of our total wage bill. It allowed us to sign Carnesschi and save £20k on wages £40k if we gave Cataldi his new deal and still bank £4m in profit.

Yeah Provedel been solid for me too really good ratings but at 29 I felt I needed a good understudy. We just beat Atletico in the home leg 1-0 but Immobile tore a muscle and is out for 3 weeks minimum

End Of Transfer Window / Season Start Well @TheJanitor great minds think alike at Lazio because before the transfer window closed we also brought in EMILE SMITH ROWE as cover in the wide positions and at CAM we wont be making the deal permanent as he isn't an Italian player and that is the clubs direction under myself. A deal which we didn't receive the true value from was CATALDI going to West Ham for only £12m but he had to be sacrificed to free up funds to bring in our 7th Italian of the window in MARCO CARNESECCHI for £8m who will be rotating the first team position throughout the season. FINAL SIGNING'S 1st TRANSFER WINDOW Very happy with the window overall as I said adding 7 Italians to the club is massive in regards to where we want the future of this club. A lot of potential in these players to develop and dominate Rome for years to come. As for the tricky start.......we smashed it. Two goals from Felipe Anderson and one for both Zaccagni and Immobile saw us brush Juventus away and get the perfect start. Immobile opened the scoring against Milan before 2 goals without reply saw us trailing until the 94th minute when Immobile again found the net to secure us an important point. Fiorentina fell to another goal from Immobile and Felipe Anderson with Baldanzi making his debut from the bench and bagging two goals in the process. Next up the Capitale Derby against AS ROMA. The match was a fantastic game and the 4-0 scoreline flatters us a little bit but we will take it. They had more shots but 2 less on target our XG was within 0.5 of each other and they even had more possesion 54% to our 46% but at the end of the day goals win games Zaccagni, Anderson, Guendouzi scored for us as well as Smith Rowe introducing himself to the Lazio faithful in the best possible way on his debut. Everything going great now for the champions league draw. One of our fans had a little message of hope before the draw......... Well CARLO they didn't!!!!!!! An absolutely shocking group with German giants Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid looking likely to advance to the next stage. The games against Galatasaray will be massive just to see if we can make the Europa League. The fact the club doesn't have many home grown players means we also go into the competition with just 21 out of a possible 25 players. Plans for January are to offload PEDRO 36 years old on £46,500 per week SPANISH MATIAS VECINO 32 years old on £58,000 per week URUGUAYAN ANDRE ANDERSON 23 years old £15,250 per week BRAZILIAN (Not good enough) And maybe a few more fringe players who haven't played enough games.

Thankyou. Hopefully they will develop. Nice to see you managing Lazio too Good Luck.

TRANSFERS First off we completely culled all the staff at the club and rebuilt from the ground up finishing with our new Assistant Manager and a player I admired a lot growing up as a Juventus fan. Who later also played for Lazio for several seasons. Angelo Peruzzi He will be helping out from time to time with the training of the players and various other tasks should we need the help. PLAYERS IN As you can probably tell there is a certain theme when it came to recruitment this season. We wanted young talented Italians who can grow into the clubs system. Young Ravaglioli came in from Bologna after we offered a contract and paid the compensation. A talented young striker who could hopefully fill the Immobile gap in a few seasons. Two goals in 1 start and 1 substitute appearance in pre season was encouraging and already his stats are on the rise. Expect some easier league game minutes alongside some cup games. Next up we have Luis Hasa on a loan deal from Juventus with a £5.5m option should we decide to keep him. I done a Beta save with Juventus and he turned out pretty good and can cover every position in the midfield area. Again expect some game time in easier league games and cups. Diego Coppola oozes potential and at a mere £5.5m was a no brainer to strengthen the CB position for years to come. Not quite first team standard at the minute but will get a big chance to develop as the depth in the CB position is pretty weak and injuries are certain throughout the season. Another signing we made will be mentoring him as he develops. The most expensive of our recruits is Tommaso Baldanzi at £7.5m ready to start some games from the off the first season could be a big year for him. Can play in a couple of positions and roles so a big decision will need to be made as to where his main position will be. I don't feel I need to explain this transfer.........Look at those stats! Yes he is 39 years old but Chiellini can still do a job and at only £325k how could I say no. He will be mentoring some of the young players coming through the ranks and also helps bridge a void in the CB depth for the starting 11 until funds can be arranged to sign a good starting CB for the long term. And finally Giacomo Faticanti. I feel like Roma missed a trick when they let him leave in real life and despite being new to Leece they were happy to allow him to join on loan for a fee of £1.4m and an optional future fee of £2.5m which is an absolute bargain. I would have bought him outright but because he had just joined his current team he wouldn't agree to a permanent move straight away. He completes an extremely talented group of youngsters we have in the middle of the park who can hopefully grow up together to become a force not just in Lazio but in the national team together too. SALES These are the players who have currently left the club as of the first league game of the season. More will follow before the end of the transfer window. Speaking of the start of the season after a pretty chill pre season gaining confidence with some good performances the RNG gods have frowned upon us with a SHOCKING set of fixtures to kick off SERIE A

ACR Messina fit the bill only 7 players out of the 25 first team players are over the age of 26 with a whopping 12 first team players being younger than 22. Another interesting reason to pick them is they are from the Isle of Sicily. And no football club from Sicily has ever won a Serie A title.

I'm going to be doing a bottom half Serie A team or a lower league Italian save at a later date but the first thing I want to do is a Lazio rebuild. No league title since the 1999/00 season which then seen there main rivals AS ROMA take it away from them by winning the 2000/01 title. A surprise runner-up spot last season gives false hope in a squad which is definitely going through a transitional period. Gone is the midfield maestro Milinkovic Savic and rock at the back Francesco Acerbi. With the money being put to good use bringing in younger talent which was much needed at the club in troublesome ex Arsenal midfielder Matteo Guendouzi and Juventus hot prospect Nicolo Rovella. A massive fifteen players in the first team squad are 28 years or older with Pedro at 35 and Immobile at 33 leading the way. Ciro Immobile is the star at the club and the one who will be very hard to replace. Ever present since making the move to Lazio in the 2016/17 season he has amassed 162 league goals in just 7 seasons and is currently the top scorer in the clubs entire history. I want to develop some youth whilst at the club and hopefully have some Rome natives in the side who could be future Captains of the club. Finding a adequate Immobile replacement will be top priority as father time isn't on the strikers side. Roma lead us in both Serie A titles (3) to (2) and Coppa Italia trophies (9) to (7) in Europe we are both on 0 in both the Champions League and Europa League. It's time to make this club a place players want to come to play at the peak of there powers like the late 90's early 2000's Nedved is one of my footballing idol's so I will be looking for a AML from the Czech Republic if a decent one comes available. Will update once the staff etc are sorted and we have began our league campaign. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE MANAGING IN ITALY LETS MAKE FM24 A YEAR TO REMEMBER

Fagioli has his ban but not Tonali?

Yeah it looks like a real challenge but as you said it will make success even sweeter. Faticanti and Dorgu look perfect to be built around.

I also have a Juve Beta save going and he is doing well for the B team 7.68 rating in 31 games but nowhere near the standard to be promoted at the minute. Im in first season and made no signings with a 3 point lead at the top. (MAIN SAVE TO START SOON)

Nice to see you back in here. Always like following your Parma exploits. Really struggled to settle on a long term save this year.

Messina is a fantastic challenge. Expected to finish 14/20 in Serie C Girone C so not favourites like you asked but their biggest draw is their location SICILY. No Sicilian football club has ever won the Serie A title. They play in a 38,722 seater stadium which in real life has a beautiful but different design style. Several off the pitch problems have seen them demoted and folding on a couple of occasions first bankruptcy then sporting fraud. This team deserves a break and someone to lead them to the promised land.

I convinced myself too much lol been playing on my mind all night. Im going in .

Not sure if you have started but Torino would be a great shout. One of the Italian leagues most dominant sides back in the day 8 Serie A titles leaves them 5th in the all time list ahead of teams such as Roma, Lazio, Napoli and Fiorentina. Their last title however was way back in 1976 which means 47 years without a league title. There team is perfectly set to play a 5-3-2 tactic and around a squad which oozes potential they have there star gem Samuele Ricci who at only 21 years of age has a massive future ahead of him, oh and guess what he can play as a DM or CM and his favourite role is DEEP LYING PLAYMAKER. They have around 14 players under the age of 23 who can all turn out really good. With 19 nationalities in the first team squad it's a very diverse group. Will you continue this philosophy going forward or try to bring a more Italian core back to Turin? Can you win the clubs first domestic cup since 1993 or finally end your city rivals dominance and reclaim yourselves as the biggest club in the town? Even writing this has me thinking of starting a save there.

It might be the fact that being able to do so in the first place was seen as a bug by SI. I mean U19 teams have there own managers who look after them and take care of there training so it would be there job/duty to discipline the players for poor performances or poor training not the first team coach.

Bamford has barely changed at all. His finishing has went down 5 but his composure has seen a 5 increase. Literally every single stat is the same apart from these (MINUS) FINISHING -5 LONG SHOTS -1 TECHNIQUE -1 AGILITY -1 NATURAL FITNESS -1 (PLUS) ANTICIPATION +1 COMPOSURE +5 DECISIONS +1 OFF THE BALL +1 POSITIONING +1 VISION +2

On the new winter update if managing Juventus your Serie A aim for the first season and every year of the 5 year plan is to avoid relegation from Serie A

The club’s target for their opening two seasons after promotion was simply to stay in the Premier League, so with that objective achieved, Leeds can crack on, right? Not so fast. Following a ninth-place finish by going down to the relegation wire with Burnley left everyone shell-shocked, and what felt like natural next steps – progress towards Europe, work on expanding Elland Road – don’t seem that simple any more. Instead of building on Marcelo Bielsa’s legacy, Leeds blew it all up, and 2022-23 feels like starting again in the unknown. The rush to sign players – two from Jesse Marsch’s former employers, Salzburg – suggests planned rebuilding, but dealing with high-profile departures might be the biggest test of the new coach while making his ‘energy drink football’ work. Key injuries to the Whites’ spine proved crippling, as were a joint-league-high 19 goals conceded from set-pieces, and if the former were truly down to Bielsa’s training methods, then there should be provisions made to ensure there’s no repeat. Otherwise, the big lesson resembles Howard Wilkinson’s old maxim: ‘Fail to prepare; prepare to fail’. Nobody saw a bad second season coming, and nobody knew what to do when it arrived. Leeds won’t get away with that twice in this Premier League, and their hopes won’t be enhanced by hero Raphinha following Manchester City-bound Kalvin Phillips out the door. Leeds United Football Club were founded in October 1919, taking the place in the Midland League vacated by Leeds City Reserves, and were elected to The Football League for the 1920–21 season. They won the Second Division title four years later to gain promotion to the top tier of English football, but had to wait almost 50 years before winning any major silverware, with success in the 1968 Football League Cup Final accompanied by success in Europe in the final of the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup. The following season brought league success when Leeds won the First Division championship. Their success continued into the 1970s with victory in the 1971 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup Final, the 1972 FA Cup Final, another league title in the 1973–74 season and runners-up in the 1975 European Cup Final. Leeds won the Second Division title in the 1989–90 season and were promoted back to the First Division. A third league title in the 1991–92 season, a second FA Charity Shield in the 1992 FA Charity Shield and a semi-final appearance in the UEFA Champions League in 2001, preceded a period of turbulence which culminated in relegation to League One in the 2006–07 season. They dropped out of the top two tiers of English football for the first time in their history, in a season that saw them deducted ten points for going into administration. In 2010, Leeds United were promoted back into the Championship. Ten years later, in 2020, the club were promoted back to the Premier League after a 16-year absence. Leeds United have won the League Championship three times, four Second Division titles, the FA Cup once, the EFL Cup once, the Charity Shield twice and the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup twice. All these honours were won under the management of either Arthur Fairclough, Don Revie, Howard Wilkinson and Marcelo Bielsa . The club have also been runners-up five times in the League Championship, three times in the FA Cup, once each in the EFL Cup, the Charity Shield, the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, the Cup Winners' Cup and the European Cup, and lost the play-off to keep the Inter-City Fairs Cup trophy. First Team Squad By Premier League standards you have a very average squad with only 6 players in the whole team to be rated higher than 3 star current ability and none of the 6 are higher than 3.5 stars. I suppose the best counter to this is that the squad has some amazing potential. Below I will list the key players at the club and the best youth products for the season ahead. Luckily you also start with an impressive £25m transfer budget and around £70k left in wages to improve on the current squad. I would definitely look to shift some players on to increase this further Key Players Let's start with your number one goalkeeper ILLAN MESLIER. Just look at them stats and you will see at only 22 years of age MESLIER is already a terrific goalkeeper. With low wages of £40k p/w and a contract until 2026 this is an area you should not need to touch. Backup wise you have JOEL ROBLES who just joined the club on a free transfer he only has a one year contract and is on the same salary as MESLIER despite being nowhere near as good. Attempt to sell or loan him out to remove the wages. January may be your best option with him only recently joining. LUIS SINISTERRA is a new signing at the club and already one of the strongest options. Comfortable on either side of the pitch and also willing to cover in the ST position should you need him to. Another long contract means you shouldn't have to worry about him in the near future. Next up we have a decision to make. Yes Rodrigo is one of the best players at the club but he is also a player who raises a few questions. He is listed on par with PATRICK BAMFORD as the strongest striker at the club but at 31 is three years older than BAMFORD. He also is on a seriously high wage at £100k p/w. So do you keep him as your main man/cover for the season or cash in on his £11m-£17m price tag and lose the £100k wages. He is only going to decline from here so the choice is yours. TYLER ADAMS is another player who can be a mainstay in the club for years. A contract until 2027 can give you peace of mind going forward and a reasonable wage of £60k p/w means even an improved contract down the line shouldn't break the bank. Versatile in a lot of positions gives you the coach a lot of freedom in how you want him to develop. Do you want to keep in the centre of the pitch, push him slight back to the DM role or go completely crazy and make him your wing back going forward. Other notable mentions include PATRICK BAMFORD (ST) MARCO ROCA (DM)(MC) and JACK HARRISON (AMR)(AML) The Prospects (Now some of these players have variable potential ability which means how good they will get will differ on each save) A lot of Leeds and football fans will already be aware of JOE GELHARDT's talents. Still only 20 years of age the Englishman has the potential to be very good in game. First season or two you could loan him out or use him as a rotation/cup player he may also get more game time depending on what you decide to do with RODRIGO. His contract is due to expire in 2024 so negotiate this early to keep the increase to a minimum. Net up is CHARLIE CRESSWELL who starts the save on loan to rivals Millwall. His stats should see him get some game time in the championship and hopefully continue his development. Again an English talent he could lead the back line of your Leeds team for the next 15 years if you can get him to reach his potential. And finally ARCHIE GRAY. This is the player who could truly become World Class. At only 16 years of age at the start of the save with well balanced stats he is the future of Leeds United. He starts on a £160 youth contract which expires 30/06/2023 your very first priority should be IMMEDIATELY SIGNING HIM TO A NEW LONG TERM CONTRACT. As soon as the save loads. Don't meet the players don't look for signings GIVE HIM A CONTRACT. Again how you develop him is upto you. Will you decide to loan him to a team hoping he gets some game time? Keep him in the youth team to learn your tactics and way of playing? Or move him up to the first team to be mentored and play in easier games and cup ties? As far as club expectations they want you to avoid a relegation battle which with the £25m investment and standard of squad should easily be attainable. There is many ways you can approach this save, do you continue using the Leeds academy to bring youth into your squad? Do you try to bring some Italian flair into the club to impress the owner? Maybe bring some Argentinian talent over to Yorkshire in a mark of respect to Bielsa. Whatever you decide this is a team that has went from the top to the bottom and Champions League football is due back at Elland Road. MOT

For the full back if Parisi has left Empoli he may not be getting enough game time he is really good. Josh Doig might be a shout. But hard to know who would be loan listed
