So, here we are. A new, little team in the big, big world of Topeleven. At the bottom of the pack in level 1. How exciting, isn't it?
Squad
The game gave us a real nice starting squad. This is our "top eleven":
And these are the subs:
As you can see, we have some good players to work with. Especially our Striker and our DR, both only 19 years old and with good special abilities, will serve us for at least this season, I'm sure. Also the 18 year old 4-star MC is here to stay.
Also we had to buy this italian guy Bernardi during the tutorial.
He won't help us much though, because I plan on playing a 4-5-1 V formation, as this is one of the best in my opinion. So we need at least 1 more DMC. We are also going to buy one new DC to strengthen our defense, a new DL (as we have none on the bench) and maybe 1 or 2 other players if we manage to get a bargain.
What we have to keep in mind when doing these transfers - the ressources aren't really there for us. We started with 84 tokens, which is solid, but we only have about 5M of cash and 22 reds, 25 blues and 72 greens. With this low amount of cash, we can't go out there and buy the best young talent, as I would normally do. So we need to keep a cool head and bring in new players slowly, but steady.
League standings
After half of the season played, we currently sit in 7th place, which is a Super-League spot and secures us promotion. Every team in our league has a manager already.
Things are fairly close on the top though, and no team is really that much stronger than Alassiouty Sport can be with some new players. So I'm confident that we can get into a Champions League position by the end of the season. (Place 1 to 4)
We are also out of the cup already and so can focus on the league.
The next update-post will be released in the next 3 or 4 days, when the manager of Alassiouty Sport did some transfers, built some infrastructure and the team played some games under his coaching.
