Im a man on a mission 
playing super attacking and it helps (tho im 6 goals off what AtaIanta scored in real league). I bought bunch of cheap wonderkids, wanna see em grow. Cherki, Florent Da Silva, Talles Magno, Pavlovic, Inter sold me Esposito! They all 16 or 17 so not easy to use yet.
I hope if I win league that they give me enough money to sign Tonali. I been unsettling him all season.
I cant offer much in wages so hoping to not lose zapata in summer. Free transfers major coups in Callejon and Savic (the atletico CB).

Thiago Almada, I tried for him all season, he is cheap but my wage budget was shot so Tottenham got him.
Zapata has been insane for me, 47 goals and I have 3 league games and a CL final left (already won league and cup lol). But about Esposito, he is just 17 but he has scored 6 goals in 4 games for me, only playing him end of season. My coaching staff already thinks he is nearly 4 stars, better then Muriel they stay, and has insane amount of 15-17 stats on dozen of things.

I also couldn't get Almada to perform all that well, but if I could have played him every week he would have become world class.
In terms of younger midfielders I've had who have become world class:
Tonali (€23m)
Camavinga (€18m)
Dani Olmo (€23m - sold to Spurs for €120m)
Jude Bellingham (€13m)
Ilaix Moriba (€5m - attributes very good, but consistency amazing)
Fausto Vera (€4.8m - same scenario as Almada)
Ronaldo Camara (€46m)
Marco Antonio (€40m)
Then after that I've had a couple of regens come in who are as good or better than Frenkie de Jong.

Winning treble with Atalanta in first season has it headaches, now everyone wants a big pay raise in 2nd season 
I had to give frigging Gollini 135k salary just to keep him quiet, couldnt afford to buy a new goalie after buying bunch of others. Sold Gosens for 76m (58m direct, rest bonuses), too good to not to, but he was so ace for offensively, 16 assists as left back is amazing. Bought Real Madrid Mendy in desperation when everyone else I went for wanted either too big salaries (Grimaldo, Telles), or chose other destinations. Mendy is good, but he doesnt have the offensive attributes Gosens had (originally a winger), more of defensive physical fullback. Sold Castagne too, tho cheaper, 28m, just crying too much and refuses to sign new contract when his is expiring. Loaned Reece James from Chelsea.
I basically I have an entire new defence except Hateboer and VanHuedzen. Meunier, Bastoni, Cetin and Caldara back at their clubs after loan (Caldara refuses to accept my contract offer despite cheap buy option). Two left backs sold etc. Had already sold Palomino, Djimsti and Toloi in first season (as soon I signed freebie Savic for 2nd season gave up on the older CBs). New loanies in Firpo and Pellegrini too (before I thought I could get Mendy, I panicked after selling Gosens and Castagne lol). Kehrer for 33m was decent pickup.
Best capture by far is ofcourse Tonali for this new season (Talles Magno too, this kid is ace, and other personal favourite in Fabio Silva). Biggiest random signing is ofcourse me buying Oxlade Chamberlain for 38m. Seems quality and versatile, tho maybe not the type of playmaker I need at CM.
I'm good at signing young top or promising talents for the future that arent ready to perform yet (except Magno and Esposito): Cherki Unuvar, Esposito, Armini, Riccardi, Marco Molla, Vignato, Tramoni, Magno, Andre Anderson, Lazaro, Florent Da Silva, Nohan Kenneh.
Plus Atalant has couple of in house talents that are good 16-17 year old Adam Traore (bitch wants to leave for Liverpool or Spurs), few more years older excellent depth options in Melegoni and Bettella.
But maintaining this massive pool of talents wont be easy, and I'm bit short budget wise to improve the squad with players that ready to compete now instead of just young developing teens (with sales I been available to buy all these youngsters, but for more ready players, can afford their transfer sum but not necessary the salaries they ask for). Hence why I went with alot of loans, or random buys like Oxlade, Mendy (I panicked when I thought Grimaldo had accepted but he delayed me and got greedy).
Biggiest faux pas is signing Callejon on free transfer for this season, he seemed like a good idea at January despite being 33, but he joins my squad and my coaches doesnt even think he is good enough to be on the bench lol.
P.S Future project, besides replacing overpaid Gollini with someone better (tho was top 2 in best goalies in europe after our season), is to offload enough deadweight reserves (in this summer 79 players came back from loan LOL), so I can afford Chiesa next season before a top club signs him.

Btw didnt even mention the best signing of first season, Ikone from Lille (the PSG youth Juve were after couple years ago). Oh man was he a bargain at 14m. He scored 21 goals, 16 assists, and one of those goals? An overtime 112th minute dribbling raid and sweet finish, in CL final against Liverpool. Jesus that was clutch.

failed miserably in the FA Cup
won the Scottish Challenge Cup - that's a tournament for shit clubs from UK & Ireland. i got like 25k for the win.
won the league
The board gave me 27k wage budget and 0 transfer budget for my first Premiership season. I'm on 19k at the moment, I'll be around 25 when I start offering full time deals. Cove Rangers is still a Semi-Pro side. That will change soon.

I'm going to do 10 years with Juve and then switch to someone relatively obscure, maybe get Depor back to CL or an Argie team.
As it stands my finances are ridiculous and about 15 players are on €300K+ so it's lost most of the appeal other than developing hoards of youngsters and trying to catch Milan's 7 CL trophies. I only need 1 now, tbh.
