This feels like a last throw of the dice with #FM20 for me as struggling to click long term with a save this year! Always enjoy Italy on the game even with the daft limit on non EU signings each season. I let the game chose my club and it suggested Milano City FC
Was sold immediately after the great FC Milan one I had a few years ago on the old FMU account. I took the above & #39;Vision& #39; from their site so will see how it goes I guess
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="π€·π½ββοΈ" title="Man shrugging (medium skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Man shrugging (medium skin tone)"> will update this as I go. feel free to mute the thread x
Current squad seems decent for the level we are at - media predict we will finish second but I am aiming for top spot #FM20
22 games into the season, been a bit of a slog to get us consistent but starting to come good, 8 points off the top will be difficult to win it this season imo #FM20
6 points off top with 8 games to go, played Folgore twice 3-3 draw away and 2-1 at home. Still have Sesto to play again but lost 2-1 at home #FM20
We have had to rent a different stadium going forwards, it& #39;s going to see a lot of action #FM20
The new signings (Frees), Di Maggio was on loan last season with us and did well so signed him up #FM20
As I had hoped we are currently flying at the top of the league, which now only has 18 teams instead of the 20 it did last season #FM20
Get in, league won easily with 8 left to play, learnt from last season& #39;s mistakes and walked it really #FM20
Going Pro

The final table sees us finish 30 points clear
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="π€£" title="Rolling on the floor laughing" aria-label="Emoji: Rolling on the floor laughing"> missed out due to mistakes last season defo made sure we did it this season #FM20
Later I need to have a major revamp of the team I think, may take a season or two to reshuffle due to small budgets - although in Lega Pro we do get Β£710k from TV money which is very welcome. Balance is around Β£840k but low gates costs us, thank god the chairman chips in #FM20
13 games in and sat 5th at the moment 6 points off top 9 points off the relegation spots. This lad has been spot on since coming in

Intake day and we have a so called Golden Generation, there& #39;s a couple I like the look of but Gatto is immediately rated our 3rd best CM so he will be straight in #FM20
Oh snap! it goes to the final day, Pro Vercelli face the bottom club and Monza face a team in the Relagation playoffs we face a fellow promotion hopeful #FM20
And so the playoffs begin

FFS I was so busy pissing about putting screenshots of the stadium up I missed the end of the game! but on the plus side WE DID IT! #FM20
Stats and Awards - I am amazed that in 3 seasons we have only had 1 red card! N& #39;Gbesso has swept up awards wise an dhopefully we are signing him on a free in the summer #FM20
Had an Β£8k bid for this fella accepted its not a huge outlay so worth a punt see how he develops #FM20
This fella was different gravy for me on the FC Milan save let& #39;s see if he can recreate that on this one #FM20
Much stronger start than I expected but wins are narrow ones for the most part, Gatto has been superb since coming in on the last intake day #FM20
8 games left and we have just been spanked 4-0 by leaders Brescia, done a lot better than I expected but could of been so much better if we hadn& #39;t lost so many 1-0 #FM20
We head into the playoffs after crawling up to 4th in the last few games, shout out to Cosenza who lost top spot on the final day but still went up - they finished 14th last season! Have added a graph of their positions as well, slowly climbing the table and going up #FM20

Superb season for Piu, said when I signed him I wonder if he can do as well as he did on FM18 for me and he has so far
Big summer ahead, only Β£6mil transfer budget and Β£101k wage budget at the moment
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="π³" title="Flushed face" aria-label="Emoji: Flushed face"> thats like 1 player in Serie A ... per week! Going to need an effort akin to the Troyes save on stream a few years ago! #FM20
WTF!!!!! after we finished the first season we left our ground with a capacity of only ....650 and moved to one with 3k. Now in Serie A we have moved back! and it still only has 650 capacity!???!???!???!? #FM20
So I asked the board for a new stadium, they said no. so I asked them to expand this one ... #FM20 #WeScrewed
It& #39;s pretty funny I& #39;m operating in Serie A with the smallest stadium ever (pretty sure I should have been moved to another one so maybe a glitch) with a wage budget of Β£180k. Due to low outlay I& #39;m making loads from TV money and away gates
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="π" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy"> #FM20
This could all fall apart so making the most of it! 2-0 up v Inter after 4 (poss 3) defeats on the spin #FM20
Ah shit Juve away next, embarrassment incoming
Not as bad as it could have been plus our 17yr old keeper who has been thrown in due to injuries saved a Ronaldo pen
Really pleased with the season so far 3 wins in a row including a cracker v 10 man Roma has seen us put some space between us and the drop zone after slipping close to it. Also pleased all defeats bar 2 (Genoa & Juve) have been by the odd goal #FM20
That sees us 12th at the halfway stage 11 points clear of the drop after 3 wins on the spin. Think it& #39;s safe to say Cosenza are gone already #FM20
Kone chose Barca (trying to loan him back) but also signed this fella for Β£725k from AC Milan just in case
What a first season we had, really pleased to of done better than I expected. Was a stage earlier in the season I thought we would be sucked into the bottom 3 but managed to pull away, beating teams around us and a few shocks v Roma and Inter. Pep won the league with Napoli
This lads been superb on loan from Inter, he drove me mad last season against us so brought him in - he& #39;s now joining on a perm deal for Β£3mil in the summer.
With all the TV money, gate money from away games, our tiny wage budget and the big money sale of Kone we have made money hand over fist lol
New main striker, Β£4mil from Lanus

Physically he is spent but I couldn& #39;t resist
A lovely team goal with 21 & #39;events& #39; leading to the goal #FM20 https://youtu.be/P-neeGAUWtg ">https://youtu.be/P-neeGAUW...
Really pleasing season 2 places better off and a cup win. Pep won the league again on the final day this time #FM20
Woohoo! plans finally sorted and we move into our modest new home at the end of the up coming season
This is Piu& #39;s replacement btw, huge upgrade Β£10mil from Atalanta - scored a worldie past us last season as well
Not a bad debut for Balsamo
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="ππ½" title="Ok hand (medium skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Ok hand (medium skin tone)">
This team with small additions and improvements in the summer has really clicked now, We have been helped by the slip ups of Napoli, Inter, Juve, Lazio and AC Milan but hopefully we can keep pressing on - I think the title is beyond us.
Final table - we dropped off a little with all the extra games towards the end, but pleased to finish 5th. Napoli were 9th 10 games ago and well off the top they went on a run and nearly won the league
FFS!!!!!! Second delay in the finishing of our new stadium

And 4 seasons after leaving us for Barcelona for Β£23.5mil this fella returns to us via Bayern for Β£18.75mil #FM20
Right let& #39;s see if I can win this Serie A title

Mental two legs that, suspected the 2nd leg would be an every highlight for Chelsea was a goal kinda game... and it was lol
Yep he& #39;s gone, sorry Gareth
WE& #39;VE WON THE LEAGUE!! ... without kicking a ball, Roma drew 1-1 with Parma before we play Inter in the late kickoff #FM20
LOL Man Utd have won the league but sacked their manager #FM20
Couple of Wonderkids snapped up Paulo Jorge - Β£15mil (Release Clause) and Jeffinho Β£21.5mil (Release Clause)
League started a little poorly but has improved in recent months, doubt we will retain the league though
My youth intakes have been shocking for the past 5 seasons :(

Couldn& #39;t retain the Serie A title sadly but a good season all in all
United just too good for us in the Champions League Final as they were in the Europa League Final a couple of seasons back :(
Just cant beat United in a final! Club World Cup added to Europa and Champions League final defeats to them :(
This fella is joining us at the end of the current season (already used my non EU spots) for Β£36.5mil - really looking forward to having him in the team as he is a monster already!
One thing I am enjoying on this save is, it is taking time to build something dominant not in Serie A. We won the title but the next season we were some way off the Inter until the last weeks when we caught up a little.
We are a top 4 side who wins the cup but we are not a dominant league side yet. I like to have 3 11& #39;s I can rotate with players crossing over into each side currently I have 2, one for the top sides and one for the rest - the issue is the second side isn& #39;t strong enough.
A few injuries and it is weakened a fair amount. I am building to 1 for the top 5 teams one for the mid table teams and a fringe/youth side for bottom teams and cup games. This is the bit I enjoy about these saves once I have got to the topflight, building & maintaining a team.
FFS! I& #39;ve lost 3 cup finals to these lot so not looking hopeful
It was the Super Coppa btw lol
This is getting personal now lol 3 cup final losses, beat them once in a group stage game and in the first leg of this but they seem to be my bogey team on this years game
Cup retained again, thats 5 in a row now

What a servant this lad has been, came in the intake during our time in Lega Pro, can not get a game for Italy though!
We& #39;ve finally done it! We have finally beaten them in knockout football! they have knocked us out several times over the years and beat us in th eUCL, EL and Club Wordl Cup Finals! #FM20
