look up 3 posts. I am playing as Atalanta.

Thanks to your post, I went back to continue my Atalanta after nearly 2 month hiatus. They still stacked, 3rd season, hopefully gonna win a 3rd straight treble, won 13 games in a row. Kinda bummed Zapata is not scoring as crazy as he did first 2 seasons (44-47-ish both seasons). Now this season Esposito is my main striker, but my left winger Talles Magno scoring most goals, looking like a balon d'or level player.

    Shows how incompetent the club has been run the last decade. I was feeling sorry for them but from here on forward that ship has sailed.

    I haven't felt anything but pure and unfiltered hatred towards those red cunts since 99. Waking up @ 2.30 am to watch us go 2-0 ahead with an Inzaghi :yuck: :inter: brace, only for us to inexplicably fold and proceed to exhibit a monumental collapse, losing 2-3 @ home.

    Yeah 2 years in a row: D First season and second season, Ikone pretty much decided both finals for me vs Liverpool both times.


    In 3rd season, I won 13 games in a row, but just now got destroyed by Bayern in CL 4-0 away. Red card, but Lewandowski is a monster...

    Well pleased with that for the second season in the league. I had 46 points in the previous season.

    Spent most of the second half of the season battling with Getafe to stay in 5th place, would have been happy to get into the EL, but after a dodgy March the team flew through April and May with a pretty small squad and won most of the games.

    To finish above Valencia and Atlético is very unexpected, there are 6-7 strong teams in this La Liga. Can't see me being able to overhaul Barcelona in the short term, however. They have a ridiculous team.

    Maybe win the Copa and get into the CL knockouts for next season.

    So my scouts said Patson Daka is amazing and "buy at whatever price" so I got him for 40m (24 years old) and this is the first time I used their recommendation completely rather than me looking at his attributes and judging myself like I did on my other attackers

    I'll be honest, I don't think he is a "sign at whatever cost" kind of player but I am starting my season right now so I will be curious to see how he does.

    Need a break from Sheffield. Several of you have played Atalanta so I wanted to join the wagon. I have started a save but only three days has passed. Any suggestions on how to start? Looks like a 352 or narrow 4321 fits with the squad but I am undecided.

    About to make a swap with Inter, lol.

    They have a fantastic right back, almost 21y old Italian international, valued at ~30m, and they want around 120 for him.

    Tried to unsettle him, but that's a slow process, and one fat contract extension with them would probably be a game over for me, so I offered 70, then 80m, but Beppe was not impressed.

    Ended up offering an attacking mid, Yael Gorre + 7.5m, which they gladly accepted. Gorre is a beast, valued at 100m, but he's 28, soon 29, and no one would pay over 70m for him.

    I'm not sure the unsettled aspect works for me. I tried that with Zaniolo and Donnarumma for 2 seasons with little to no effect. They still demand 130m and up for them lol.

    it depends on bunch of stuff

    players personalities, their status at the club, season they're having

    it works sometimes

    i'm after some DC from freiburg, they finished 11th and now he wants to move to a bigger club

    they wanted around 90m for him (clause), now they would accept 70. still too much.

    It works well for considerably lower ranked teams and players but not so much the better players.

    It worked for Chiesa and Viola, got him for 60m (30m plus bonuses). But in 4th season, my Atalanta with 3 CL and scudetto in a row, are considered way more desirable and prestigious then Milan and Roma (like 3rd most prestigious in overall in world). But for some reason the clubs arent budging an inch.
