Hello !
I have decided to begin a FM12 Story with my favourite team, Juventus Torino, and to make them 'reign' over Europe once again !

Season 1 Ambitions



  • I want to try and retain the Serie A title
  • I want to perform well in the Champions League




  • I'll be comming soon with an update with my transfers.

    Transfer Budget


    I have agreed with the board that this season I will win the Seria A, so they have gave me a transfer budget of 53M and a wage budget of 122M per annum.

    Transfers IN:




    *One of my favourites forwards.I'm very happy that I've succeded signing him ! 31M



    *He still has mad skills and tought it would be nice for a club legend to end his career at Juventus ! FA



    *I hope he'll be a beast.For sure he looks good. 2.5M



    *A nice youth player. 500k

    Total of 34M used for transfer and a 23.7M remaining.

    Transfers OUT:


    Jorge Martinez - Roma - 1.8M


    Squad:




    Tactics:


    Main
    Back-up1
    Back-up2

    Pre Season Friendlies




    *Easy matches.In every game I have tested different combinations of players.
    PS:Andrea Barzagli has been injured and will miss the next 7-8 months ! :(

    First Official Game - Super Cup Final


    I started with this FORMATION

    I started awfully ! A mistake from Ziegler allowed Gamberini to score from a corner.After that, Vidal made an imbecile tackle at 40m away from our goal and received a red card at 51 min.I was forced to remove Cavani and Vucinic, and replace them with Melo ( BWM ) and Matri ( introduced him because he showed clinical form in friendlies, scored 6 goals ! ).Vital Andrea Pirlo scored an amazing goal from a long, long distance free-kick ( like 35m ).After that Matri scored from a cross by Isla.In the 84th minute we received a goal from Goran Pandev with a close range header, again from a corner ! In ET Giovinco seized on De Sanctis's mistake on a Pirlo cross and managed to score for 3-2.




    I guess it's a good start.I don't think I need any more transfers, so I'll keep the 23M for January window.
    I'll be back with my first Serie A matches.
    Congratulations on the Super Cup win. You might just have won it because Cavani was no longer in Napoli.
    I would just like to point out a minor problem: Neither Saul or Forde are regens; they are amazing youth players, but are real. Regens are computer generated players to replace the retired players in the game. They will have cartoony, animated pictures. Keep your readers updated.

    Champions League Groups Draw




    *I think it's a good group, not too hard, but not too easy.I'm predicting I'll end 2nd.

    Juventus 3 - 0 Atalanta


    11th: Buffon - Ziegler Lucio Chiellini Isla - Giovinco Melo Pirlo Krasic - Vucinic Cavani

    Pirlo
    Vucinic
    Chiellini
    Isla


    Pepe Krasic
    Marchisio Melo
    Caceres Vucinic

    Pirlo


    *A game which we controlled from start to finish.It was Pirlo's game.He managed to score again, from a free-kick, and made 2 assist with his world class cross !
    Cavani was a bit of a disappointment.He missed 2 one on one chances.



    Genoa 2 - 2 Juventus


    11th: Buffon - De Ceglie Lucio Chiellini Caceres - Giovinco Melo Pirlo Krasic - Vucinic Matri

    Matri (33)
    Matri (39)
    Birsa (43)
    Kucka (83)
    Caceres
    Asamoah
    Chiellini


    Cavani Vucinic
    Asamoah Melo
    Marchisio Pirlo

    Matri


    *A good 1st half and an incredible unlucky 2nd half.2-1 at the break, everything looked good.Decided to punish Cavani and bench him.It was an inspired move because Matri managed to poach 2 goals.
    Again received a red card, too bad it was after I made all 3 subs ! And above all, one of my subs got slighty injured and Chiellini got injured.And above all that, Kucka managed to equalize.
    I was hard on them, telling them that this matches we should win !
    Chiellini got 2 to 3 weeks and Asamoah 9 - 12 days, not that bad.


    Vaslui 1 - 3 Juventus 1st UCL Group Match


    11th: Buffon - Ziegler Lucio Bonnucci Isla - Giovinco Vidal Pirlo Krasic - Quagliarella Cavani

    Varela (12)
    Gerlem (16)
    Cavani (67)
    Krasic (82)


    Giaccherini Quagliarella
    Melo Pirlo

    Pirlo


    *A good match.Used some players I did not use that much in the first Serie A matches.We missed many chances, but at the end of the day it's a victory and I won't be harsh on the players,I'll just congrats them on their accomplishment.
    Pirlo was again brilliant, managed 1 assist and some very good deep passes which ended with no goal :))



    Juventus 1 - 0 Roma


    11th: Buffon - De Ceglie Lucio Bonnucci Lichsteiner - Giovinco Melo Pirlo Krasic - Vucinic Cavani

    Pirlo (7 pen.)


    Lucio



    *It was an italian clasic victory.We dominated the match, but Cavani proves unworthy of 31M of wasted alot of goal opportunities and was marked with 5.9 after the match.We did not gave them a chance.

    Fiorentina 2 - 6 Juventus


    11th: Buffon - De Ceglie Lucio Bonnucci Lichsteiner - Giovinco Vidal Pirlo Krasic - Vucinic Matri

    Vucinic (10)
    Matri (14)
    Vargas (15)
    Vucinic (27)
    Jovetic (42)
    Vucinic (58)
    Cavani (79)
    Cavani (85)


    Cavani Vucinic
    Marchisio Vidal
    Caceres Bonnucci

    Vucinic




    *A perfect game ! A brilliant Vucinic and a clinical Cavani.At last I see chunks of his big quality.
    23 minutes on the pitch, 2 goals ! Brilliant, brilliant and brilliant !



    Inter 0 - 0 Juventus


    11th: Buffon - De Ceglie Lucio Bonnucci Lichsteiner - Giovinco Vidal Pirlo Krasic - Cavani Matri

    Bonnucci (38)
    Vidal (69)


    Vucinic Giovinco
    Marchisio Vidal
    Caceres Matri

    Julio Cesar




    *A kind of fair draw.Bonnucci is an idiot for getting sent off in the 38th minute of an Italia Derby.Unlucky with Vidal's injury.Unlucky with a Cavani one on one miss or a Julio Cesar save in the late minutes of the game.
    But after all I could have easily been defeated if it wasn't for the determination of the players to prove a point.
    Vidal is out for 3-4 weeks :(
    This is how the league table looks after 5 matches:





    Juventus 2 - 1 Chelsea 2nd UCL Group Match


    11th: Buffon - Ziegler Lucio Bonnucci Isla - Giovinco Melo Marchisio Krasic - Cavani Matri

    Matri (1)
    Mata (24)
    Cavani (37)
    Melo (81)


    Quaqliarella Cavani
    Asamoah Marchisio
    De Ceglie Ziegler

    Petr Cech




    *A big surprise for me.Not the win, but the way to obtain it.We dominated them, gived them no chance whatsoever.
    Cech made some excellent interventions, we missed again some one on ones, and for the love of god another red card.
    This is how the group looks after 2 matches:
