Note:
The signings of Ademilson, Wellington Nem and Serge Aurier are ones for the future of Napoli. they are good but will adapt and train into their full potential here. They are very good prospects.
Toby Alderweireld should be fitting straight into the starting line-up, he is young is a very good player for such a young age!
Raul Albiol was transfer listed by Madrid so I snapped him up, more rotational/back-up but could play a key, experienced role in the campaign.
Davide Santon, Blaise Matuidi and Antoine Griezmann come in to strengthen key areas
