Football Manager 2011 : The Rebuilding of a Great.

[Andrew3737]

I will be doing a FM11 story soon. Could even start today if I want.

I will be rebuilding A.C. Milan. As you know they are old as hell.

More details to come.

[Andrew3737]

AC Milan, 2nd in European Cups, 2nd in Serie A titles, 1st in CI's, but lately have been shadowed by Inter. With an average age of 28, 18 of the 29 are over 30 with the first team, it's time for a change.

Current Squad
GK:
Abbiati-Going
Roma-Going
Amrelia-Going


I will be bringing in a whole new GK package. These keepers are old, and frankly aren't good enough

DF
Legrottaglie-Going
Papaosthougfhfdhdsthos-Staying
Bonera-Staying
Nesta-Staying
Yepes- Going
Silva-Staying
Zambrotta-Staying
Oddo-Staying
Antonini-Staying
Jankulovski-Staying
Emanulson-Staying
Abate-Staying

Pretty much the oldies are staying in for depth. I'll be looking for a few young CB's and 2 experienced FB's to come into the starting lineup.

Midfield

Ambrosini-Staying
van Bommel-Staying
Pirlo-Staying
Gatusso- Staying
Flamini-Staying
Boateng-Staying
Seedorf- Going


Seedorf will be going because he is just way passed it. Looking to bring in a replacement for Pirlo, Gatusso. A replacement for Seedorf will be found immediately.

Forwards
Robinho-Staying
Pato-Staying
Ibrahimovic-Staying
Cassano-Staying
Inzaghi-Going
Paloschi-Staying

The strength of this team. Inzaghi the only leaving. Don't need too add to this department.




Starting XI:


Almost a 3 DM formation. This formation allows me to use my best players to do the best thing they do, which s create and attack the final third. This team is extremely dependant on Ibrahimovic and I want it that way. I am building this "dynasty" around him. I have a window of around 3 years to achieve as much as I can.

I have been given a budget of E48m.

In the market for


1x first XI GK
2x GK

3x CB
2x FB
2xCM
1xDM
1xAM


More to follow.

A tip if you want to bring in a great young striker. Buy Khouma Babacar from Fiorentina. Turns into an amazing player!
In my game I went from managing Southampton to Fiorentina where I won the league 3 seasons in a row and the CL once and a few other trophies here and there. My team dominated ;D

[Hawka]

[Andrew3737]

Half way through the season and I am currently 5th. Ibrahimovic has scored over half my goals, which isn't a good thing. We are only 4 points behind 1st. Undefeated in Europe atm, but I have drawn Real Madrid in the round of 16. Tough but not unbeatable.

I will have more a more detailed write up when the season is over.

Bugger. I have mine on a rolling fortnight save. But haven't played it since I went back to uni. It is just far too distracting!
