AS Roma - Building a Dynasty


So after seeing Dan making a return to FM14 it gave me the kick up the ass needed to start my own save.

I was struggling to find a team I wanted to build a Dynasty with, I wanted a team with a strong heritage that had dropped off the continental radar lately. I played with the idea of Liverpool but I am not a huge fan of managing in England on FM.

That's when I found Roma. The past 3 seasons Roma have struggled to make it into continental football and with their two main men ageing it was time to take their talented youngsters and take them to the heights of European football for the first time in their history.

Rebuilding the backroom


https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/1uDocl0mVArKOK04gjl2hDA6Cht6YWyvcNEqqZIL.png

First order of business was to get a backroom that could turn this team into a well oiled machine. This meant a complete revamp from top to bottom.

Clearing out

After sorting out the backroom it was time to trim the wage bill and thanks to a 10 million recoup on Bradley a decent transfer kitty too.

A few loans in there and a thankfully managed to let Sergio go who was on a fair chunk.

Good luck with this. A Roma game looks fun, you can strip them down and start again.

The Young Recruits


As you will see from my previous saves in FM13 I love young squads and this save will be no different. I have even set one of the clubs philosiphies to sign young players and have them be a part of the sqaud. I feel with the like of Totti and De Rossi showing them the ropes we can do well.

Luciano Vietto

we begin with the young striker Vietto signed from Racing club for 3.3 million he will be playing with the reserves when not needed for first team duties I feel he will be behind Totti and Destro for the center forward position but the young age will not put me off if he takes his chances.

As you can see he is far from a polished article but he has the raw talent to grow I just hope he has the mentality to follow it up



Eder Alvarez Balanta

Next up is 20 year old Balanta. The monstrous Colombian is already well know in FM but here you can see he is and will be slipping straight into that central defensive spot next to Benatia/Castan.

At the age of 20 he already has stats that you would see coming from top centre halfs at their peak. I gladly parted with 11 million for one half of my future brick wall.



Brice Samba

This was a late transfer that came near the end of the window I was diliberating whather or not I wanted a new Keeper as De Sanctis is 36 and deteriorating. I am still not sure if I want to throw a 19 year old with limited competitive football between the sticks.

I may stick with Sanctis for this season and try to slowly work Samba in. I don't want to ruin what could be a class keeper in a few years.




Gabriel Iancu

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/7RsXlbfqEBRYlAHYzsMdyiz0T1dcxoghptJcZj27.png

Saving what I believe my best transfer of the Summer, Gabriel Iancu. My Romanian Coutinho. He will sit in the hole between midfield and attack and will hopefully pick the holes with his creativity and flair that will only get better.

I won't chuck him straight in the deep as I will try to work him in slowly but I believe once he gets his foot in the team it will be very hard to take him out. 6.5 million from Bucharest could very well be a steal.



So there you can see my policy of youth coming through loud and clear I just hope that the likes of Totti and De Rossi are enough to keep the young boys in check.

Good luck mate. I had a Steaua game and Iancu was amazing. I trained him as a poacher after a season and he was just as competent playing there as well as cam

The Friendlies

That is not a great pre-season to get this save underway. Lets hope that form doesnt follow us into the opening fixtures...
