i had a nice manager mode going with borussia moegjdsadadblach, but fifa decided to crap out on me at the beginning of the third season. so, i have moved on. i am now the manger for parma in serie b. this was a tough decision (since i hate the italian league), but i think it'll be fun.
board expectations
- secure promotion
- reach quarterfinal of the domestic cup
- upgrade medical staff
- extend i player's contract to 3+ years
so far, i can see this team has a lot of fat that needs to be shed. a lot of old, under-performers; plus, a lot of untalented (meaning 55 or under rating) players. unfortunately, the "fan favorite" is an aging right wing-back named Zenoni, who i wish i could off-load. i've got a lot of selling to do. i hope to find a few gems on the free transfer side of the market.
however, i've got a few decent players. lucarelli is an older striker (and our captain) who has the highest rating. he should be a pretty solid target man. troest is a great young centerback, who should do well in the future. i remember he was on some of my prospect lists in my other seasons, so that's a good thing. our other striker, paloschi, is going to be amazing. that's all i can say.
i'll probably play parma's default 4-4-2. it seems solid enough. we'll see if i change my mind after a couple of games.
we've got pre-season friendlies lined up: brandby if, nottingham forrest, and the chicago fire.
wish me luck!
