Almost fully updated database through editor, game is in 2008/09 season, players (team purchased from), all money in US Dollars.
4-1-2-1-2 Diamond formation, wingers run up.
GK:
Starter: Nikolay Mihaylov (Liverpool)
Bench: Bogdan Lobont, Sasha Kirschstein (HSV)
Sit: Sebastien Frey ended loan and was sold to Inter. Mihaylov and Lobont kinda jockey for starting job. Bought Peter Skov-Jensen for 3rd goalie but he retired after a year of sitting on the bench, much like Kirschstein is now doing.
D:
Starters:
DR: Anthony Vanden Borre
DL: Taye Taiwo (Marseille)
DC: Dario Dainelli, Djaid Kasri (Nantes)
Bench: Cristian Alvarez (Racing Santander), Alessandro Gamberini, Jeremie Brechet (Real Sociedad), Loic Abenzoar (Lyon)
Sit: Sold Ujfalusi to Parma for 6 mil, Balzaretti to Roma for 14 mil, and Pasqual to Olympiakos for 3.2 mil. Had Marco Cassetti for a year of bench. Had Jose Maria Calvo for a year, but he never played well and I sold him to Al-Sadd (KSA) for 2 mil. Somehow managed to sell Per Kroldrup, the most worthless player on the team, for 1.9 mil to Besiktas.
M:
Starters:
DM: Marco Donadel
MR: Renato (Atl. Mineiro)
ML: Jajá (Getafe)
AMC: Riccardo Montolivo
Bench: Radoslaw Sobolewski (Wisla), Massimo Donati (Celtic), Eder Bau (Triestina), Leonardo (Feyenoord)
Sit: Sold Franco Semioli to Man City for 5.5 mil, Martin Jorgensen to Rangers for 5 mil, and Do Prado to Djurgarden for 2 mil. Renato is one of the most talented players I've ever seen, as is Jajá. Had Quaresma for a disappointing year and a half. Bought him for 15 mil from Porto, sold him to Tottenham for 17 mil.
F:
Starters: Michael Owen (Newcastle), Roberto Colautti (Gladbach)
Bench: Zvjezdan Misimovic (Bochum), Filipe Gomes, Rodrigo Tiuí (Roma), Arturo Lupoli.
Sit: SOLD GIANPAOLO PAZZINI TO INTER FOR 50 MIL, BOUGHT OWEN FOR 40 MIL!!! Smartest decision ever. Pazzini hardly plays behind Adriano and Zlatan, and Owen scored 41 goals in 07/08. AND I got a $10 mil profit. Sold Adrian Mutu to Arsenal for 11.75 mil because I hate him. Sold Caetano to Grasshoppers for 5 mil, a great price for me. Christian Vieri was amazing in 05/06 before he went down with an injury and never fully recovered, so Lazio got him on a free.
Notable youth players: Supat Rungratsamee (Thai ST from Portsmouth), Giorgio Parisi (Italian ST, youth influx 06/07), Niccolo Manfredini (Italian GK, actually in Fiorentina U20s), Vittorio Donati (Italian D C, youth influx 07/08).
Rate it.
