As far as young prospects go, I'm currently looking at Giovanni Scappaticci (20 in crossing and passing) and Davide Astori (Milan reserve). The former is a MC and the latter a MR. I'm planning on playing them with the U20s but seeing as I may secure the Scudetto well before the last day they could get a first team game or two.

I'm playing a diamond 4-4-2 with Juninho Pernambucano (he's amazing, 20s in technique, dribbling and passing, 19 in corners, free kicks, long shots) behind Del Piero and Ibrahimovic (Treze is injured atm). Camoranesi, Olivera, Nedved and Kapo have the flanks covered. I'm planning on selling Trezeguet and Zalayeta next season with Gilardino and Bojinov my prime targets. With Tudor, Iuliano, and Ferrara all likely to leave (already sold Legro and Monty) I'm looking at Bonera, Kompany and Squillaci/Natali. Anthony Vanden Borre is in my U20 team but I'll probably loan him out.

Any suggestions for right back? Zaccardo looks pretty good, anybody tried him? Mascherano, Pedretti and Julio Baptista are options for DM C.
 
OP

Zlatan

    Cassano's, Gilardino's contracts are unprotected in teh second season, you can get them for 26 and 40 mil €, otherwise you would have to pay like 40 for Gila and 60 for Cassano.

    Anyways, my backup right back is Daniel (Sevilla). He's got pretty good stats and if he's good he'll replace Zambi on the right in two years, when Gianluca is old enough to sell.


    Also, the players you can get for free in the second season are Pizzaro from Udinese, Dellas, Dede, Santana.

    I'm definitely going to go for Gilardino. I'll have to choose between Casso/Bojinov and Zaccardo/Daniel. Dede seems an interesting possibility but as for the rest I think I'll pass.

    PS. Seeing as you've coached both, who would you say is better: Rosicky or Sneijder?

    I'm looking for a good Left back as a sub for Zambrotta. I bought Chivu, but I prefer him in the center.

    bought Torres. he rocks. I play him together with Zlatan.

    Neddy is gonna retire at the end of the season, but qualified as coach so he'll stay at the club.

    I'm also considering of selling DP. anyone did it? how much did you get?
