@bendixkunert2 scouts on my Depor save reckon the Partizan lad is a world-beater as well. I have to say I wasn't convinced by him, purely as there wasn't a single attribute above 14. That being said, I hope he works out well for you, maybe it will even change my opinion if he does!

If you still have access to the old hard drive there are guides on how to successfully transfer everything over! I did it last year without too much difficulty.
Unfortunately my laptop hard drive died, so unable to access any of the old files
Took me an age to get my graphics downloaded again! Luckily none of my "important" stuff is saved on laptop, keep it all on a external SSD

I unfortunately lost my Vercelli save on switching to new laptop
Currently in Portugal, so may come back after!

Louis Munteanu looks a decent ST for mid-table up to top 5 maybe, starts at Viitorul Constanta in Romania -
Another Viitorul player worth a look is Virgil Ghita, a DC -
Rodrigo Tarin is another one worth keeping an eye on. Currently with Leganes, in three separate saves, they've either been relegated, or he's been transfer listed. I picked him up for just £600k -
Agustin Palavecino cost me just £1.5m from Deportivo Cali, and has all the tools to be a very handy MC for most teams -
Final one from me (for know) is Mujaid Sadick. Looks decent at the start, and has the potential to be a really good DR. I am sure he can be picked up very cheaply at the start of game -
6 -
One more
Eldar Sivac is a solid young DR, who will certainly improve. For teams out of the elite leagues, he would be a great signing, maybe even as a backup for a big club. Has a release clause of £475k
1 -
And another, signed from Molde for £1.6m at start of second season. May not have the pace, but he is a set piece wizard, and could be a Norwegian Beckham

Might be worth giving us his name? can see the surname but there are multiple players with those names..
Oops, added to post.

Another scout find, Dejan Drazic - natural across attacking midfield, missing some Vision, however may be of more use on the wings. Quoted £625k

One of my scouts found and recommended this lad from Syria, Kamel Kawaya -
Good all-rounder and Driven personality. Has a release fee to foreign clubs of a huge £6002 -

Nice one. I'm not getting many good prospects with Parma - their youth facilities are pretty average so I'll need to spend some $$$ on that!
I know the feeling - had a similar issue when I did a save in lower league Spain
Found it hard to get back into Pro Vercelli, after our promotion, really struggling to bring in Serie B level players as our reputation hasn't gone up a huge amount.

@Stu_UBJ has the new intake arrived yet? Looks intriguing! Congrats on the promotion too. A truly historic club and the kits are wicked!
Things are starting to get a bit troubled in what was starting to look like a potential Parma paradise.... After a great start to the season form has dipped and we're on a run of straight defeats. We're clinging on desperately to a narrow lead and a lot of clubs are showing a serious upturn in form. To make matters worse, Palacios is playing out his skin but is now attracting a lot of attention of big clubs. It's the January 2022 window, Bayern have just made a 56million quid bid for him and I just realised he's got a 64million release clause. ****!
Yes, got one player that I think could turn out decent, and another I'm 50/50 on. Long way from the first team however.

Congrats on your promotion @Stu_UBJ
I am tempted to manage in Italy as well but going to wait til winter update comes out first
Just remember how many wonderkids will no longer be available

With 5 game still to go, it means I can ease off...but I want 90+ points!
We sealed our promotion by defeating 2nd place Carrarese 5-1, our best performance by a long way this seasons.
We're currently spending £38k per week, so we do have a nice increase there for the next division. Also, with the £5k wage cap in Serie B, I've got wages to bring in up to 6 players, before I start getting rid of some of the players currently at the club. £114k is not much, however, I can adjust our transfer budget to well over £1m with the wage budget adjusted. We will still be unable to sign nonEU players from outside of Italy, but I'm looking to bring in some overlooked young Italians from Serie A clubs, where they are probably not going to be given the chance. Plus some loan signings and a bargain or two

Looking like our first intake could be decent as well! Very intrigued by the young Italian GK from Turin1 -
@lblanc I think AI in general seems to have a bit more sense on FM20. Over a couple of saves, they're making sensible transfers that actually make them better, rather than selling big between the big clubs, and making strange acquisitions.

Just over half way through first season wth Pro Vercelli. We've got the best defence in the league, and 3rd most potent attack.
Currently edging ahead at the top, with a bit of luck - Monza, Siena and Novara are the favourites for promotion spots, however they're all trailing behind.
Really good overall form - we've made ourselves hard to beat, and have only failed to score once. I'm hoping this will lead to promotion...
Despite Hinds and Comi leading the way up top, it is our RWB that's been our best player;
Iezzi has 5 goals and 5 assists, and defensively solid, he's oushone everyone else.
Just one winter signing for us, a loan signing -
Hamza Rafia is a really good AMC for this level. We changed tactic to a 5-3-2 after a few games, and we've really been doing well. However, we've had to play Raoul Mal, who is not an AMC. He's performed well, but now that we have a proper AMC, I am confident we can push on for Serie B1 -

Jonas Wind is mention here, but here he scores goals in first season in all matches.
He starts with quite a long-term injury iirc, however he looks very good 6 seasons in on my save

Our lovely kits for the new save
Wouldn't mind buying these!
To make sure we start pushing straight for the play-offs, we had to bring in a few players to bulk up the squad.
Luca Baldassin adds some quality to MC, and I'm sure he'll improve. Antonino Gallo is the first of 4 loan signings, and will be our DL for the season. Marco Toscano I really hope will add a creative spark to our team, which is something we are lacking. Kaylen Hinds is a fantastic loan signing for this level, and I am sure that he will be a star. Samuele Ricci is our final loan signing, and will add some depth to midfield. The final four signings are DoF signings, who may or may not progress.
A solid pre-season, with plenty of good wins and goals. Plus into the 3rd qualifier for the Coppa Italia.0 -
After struggling to find something that interested me, I've settled for the most successful Italian club not in Serie A....
Founded 128 years ago, F.C Pro Vercelli 1892 are one of Italy's oldest and also most successful clubs. With 7 Italian titles to their name, they were very much the "elite" of early Italian football. However, the club have not tasted major success since their last title, back in 1921-22, making it almost a century!
Located smack-bang in the middle of Italy's two major footballing cities, Milan and Turin, the club is certainly now in the shadow of it's illustrious neighbours. Can I change that bad fortune, and bring an end to a barren century? Time will tell....

Tapsoba has been transferred by Leverkusen for around €18m, so enjoy his services until the winter transfers patch.
Looks like the transfer patch is going to leave us with no wonderkids to sign
1 -
Edmond Tapsoba looks cracking for most top-tier teams, with room to imrpove. cost £4m, which is a lot cheaper than most
Pedro de la Vega looks a top class wideman in the making. Initial compensation of £1.2m, which could go up to £4m (clauses) is a steal.

Parma Season 2 Update (2020-21)
Serie A: 3rd
Coppa Italia: Semi-final (beaten 7-3 on aggregate by Juventus)
Europa League: Final (beaten 5-2 by Chelsea)
Players In: Exequiel Palacios (River Plate,￡5.25M), Filip Stevanovic (Partizan Belgrade, ￡2.7M), Sondre Rossbach (Odd, ￡1M), Jessim Pellisard (FCSM, ￡600K), Sebastiano Esposito (Inter, loan)
Marquee signing Exequiel Palacios joined us for a modest fee and soon established himself as the focal point of the team in centre midfield. Rossbach was originally signed as cover but eventually usurped Sepe as first-choice goalkeeper. Stevanovic and Pellisard are ones for the future, only featuring in a handful of games over the season.
Season 2 went really well, despite some absolute floggings here and there. Results went our way on the final day of the season meaning we finished 3rd, a considerable distance behind Juventus and Napoli who were unsurmountable up the top of the league. Napoli beat us every single game in Serie A this season, but we dispatched them 5-4 on aggregate in the Europa League to reach the final - only to be hammered by Chelsea. Overall though, a great performance from the squad but we really struggled depth-wise from the extra European fixtures. League form dipped considerably as the European run continued - we were actually top of the league at one point but a run of terrible form saw us drop right down.
Brandon Cortés continued to flourish, finishing as top scorer with 34 goals from 47 appearances in all competitions. Obando proved to be a solid replacement for Kulesevski on the right, notching 18 assists. Palacios was the best player overall with an average rating of 7.71 and he's now valued at ￡40M!
Delighted to see Cortés is going so well for you! Hasn't quite been that good for me at Kaiserslautern, however I have faith
Going well with Parma, looking forward to seeing the return of the days of when I watched Football Italia, with Crespo, Baggio (Dino), Asprilla, Brolin and Buffon!0 -
Just four incoming signings for the upcoming season, with a £58m layout;
Brandon Cortés on a free will give us a third quality forward. Jens Dinkelmann is a huge £35m signing, however the signing shores up our DL position for the next 10 seasons at least. Pedro Joao comes in to improve our DC options at £20m. Final signing is Jeronimo Cacciabue, who will improve our midfield options at £3m.
Outgoing of £58m means we have a net spend of £0! Borna Sosa had not really got going for us, so a £6m offer from Mainz was an easy option. Tiago Banega had never quite forced his way into the first team, so we sell to Saint-Etienne. Andreas Dimosthenous didn't look ready to get into the first team, so he's gone for a fantastic fee, with a 40% sell on fee. Yannick Chevalier-Perrot started wonderfully, but a long term injury saw him drop to third choice, so the £18.5m from Napoli was enough to see him leave. Our final major outgoing was that of Fabrice Hartmann, who despite being a really good squad player, was never going to be first choice, so the £15m profit on a free transfer was too good to turn down.
Our CL group is Lyon, FC Kobenhavn and Shakhtar Donetsk. Tricky, but I reckon we have a good chance of progressing.0 -
Season is over, and we are champions of Germany!
We finished 5 points clear, with a poor last 5 games or so cutting our lead from 12 points.
Sergio Santa Cruz has turned into our talismanic ST, 28 goals, 9 assists in 43 games. It'll be a long summer for us, with Real Madrid, PSG and Chelsea very interested indeed. He claims Player of the Year, Player's Player of the Year, Players' Newcomer of the Year, top scorer in the 1.BL, along with a place in the team of the year.
It's heartbreak for Eyibil, who was dropped from Euro 2024 squad in place of a 34 year old Toni Kroos, despite being arguably the best German MC this season (11goals, 12 assists). Fruchtl, Lukas Mai and Fabrice Hartmann also missed the cut.
Next Season...
Our 6th season at Kaiserslautern could be one of change. Certain players will leave (Lennart Grill, Kevin Kraus), and some still undecided (Tiago Banega, Emerson), along with the big performers now attracting big-money interest (Santa Cruz, Erkan Eyibil, Lucas Orellano, Yannick Chevalier-Perrot). Luckily, the latter players are ones we no longer need to sell, with the club on solid financial footing, thanks to Champions League revenue, previous big sales, along with clever transfers and wage control (highest earner is Eyibil on £62k).0

Jasur Jaloliddinov (Bunyodkur, Uzbekistan) is well worth a look. He does have a random PA, but can be picked up for £750
