Squad, Formation and Tactical Style
A vertical tiki-taka style of football suits Juventus the best, however, fluid counter attacks will also do the job, especially in tough away games for the club.
A 4-2-3-1 formation is what suits best for the available squad of players. However, Juventus are a star side with a lot of versatility, you can line up in many ways and still find success at the club. It is down to the preference of the manager as to how you want your side lined up.
A rough example of what your line-up would look like in a 4-2-3-1 formation is as follows;
Wojciech Szczesny as a sweeper keeper.
Matthijs De Ligt & Leonardo Bonucci as 2 the Ball Playing Centre backs.
Danilo & Alex Sandro as the 2 fullbacks. Sandro is more attacked minded and should be encouraged to go forward.
Rodrigo Bentancur & Manuel Locatelli as the 2 central midfielders with the former playing as a Ball Winning midfielder and the latter as a box to box midfielder.
Federico Chiesa & Federico Bernadeschi as the 2 wingers, with Chiesa playing as an inside forward and Bernadeschi as an inverted winger.
Paulo Dybala as an attacking midfielder just behind the striker.
Alvaro Morata as a Pressing Forward
There are good quality options from the bench in the form of Kulusevski, Rabiot & Ramsey who are just as capable as some of the starters and can do a job from the bench.

Key Players
Although Juventus have lost some key players recently, they still have one of the strongest squads in the Serie A and these players are the best of the lot.
Federico Chiesa
Matthijs De Ligt
De Ligt is already amongst the best centre backs in the world and has plenty
of years ahead of him. He could be next in line to take over the Juventus
legacy from Chiellini and if used correctly can even upstage him.
Paulo Dybala
Leonardo Bonucci

Youth Prospects
There are a few exciting young prospects in the ranks who have the
potential to be some of the best players in the league. A few examples
are,
Kulusevski has been a wonderkid for a couple of FM editions now and can
grow into a fearsome winger in most saves.
Jorge is considered to be a top talent from Santos similar to Neymar. If
nurtured correctly, Jorge can set the game alight and could become a
fearsome goalscorer.
Ihattaren has also been a wonderkid for a couple of FM editions now and
can develop into a versatile attacking threat. He is currently on loan at
Sampdoria.
Dejan Kulusevski
Kaio Jorge
Mohamed Ihattaren
Weaknesses
· Some of the big players in the squad are ageing and may be impossible to replace
· The quality of bench options is not as good as some of the first-team squad and rotation may be dangerous.

is easy to see the allure of managing the Old Lady, however, Juventus
have had financial issues recently and their title streak has also been
broken by rivals Inter. Can you take over the club and make it the most
reputed club in world football?
