Can anyone who's tried the FM2006 gold demo tell me what the Juve squad is like in terms of attributes? How do Gladstone, Chiellini, Giannichedda, Mutu, Del Piero and Zalayeta look?

The squad looks pretty good, though with Trezeguet out for three months at the start of the game, you're kinda limited with strikers, the worst part is that Kapo is on loan at Monaco and you can't recall him (he also starts as transfer listed at the start, so does Zalayeta btw) so you really don't have a real left winger, except Nedved. Overal you have a very strong squad when it comes to attributes, very good starters with nice backup players who can step up if needed.

Ow and about those players you mention, see for yourself:

Pinturrichio only getting a 13 for dribbling is absolutely ludicrous, Gladstone can cross far better than Chiellini, Giannichedda looks like a bloody primavera player.

Del Piero getting an equal header rating with Zalayeta obviously takes the cake.

Yes, but you can see that Zala has a better jumping stat then Del Piero, and let's not forget that from now on, height is a known stat and also contributes.

My take on the stats posted above by Bardock: I can't really comment on Gladstone as I've never seen him play but Chiellini looks just about right. Giannichedda could perhaps get double figures for first touch, technique and maybe even dribbling but everything else looks ok there. Mutu looks good. Perhaps a tad overrated since he hasn't played a lot of football in the last year or so. There are definitely some errors with Del Piero. How does he get 13 for dribbling and Zalayeta gets 14? DP should be 14, maybe even 15. I don't think that his finishing should be as high as 19, I'd say 16 or 17. Del Piero's a good header so I can understand him getting 16 for that (even though I would give him 15), but what I can't understand is his physical attributes. How does he get 15s for acceleration, pace and strength, and then 16 for stamina? Those stats should be lowered and his natural fitness should be upped to around 10. Zalayeta looks alright.
