Navigating Injuries, New Signings, Management Changes, and Points Penalty. Can You Bring Juventus Back to Glory in Football Manager 2023?
Juventus has been a challenging save on Football Manager 2023 this season, and the winter update has only made things more difficult. With key players leaving the club and new signings struggling to integrate, managing the Italian giants is one of the toughest challenges in the game. In this article, we'll take a closer look at the obstacles you'll face and provide tips on how to bring Juventus back to glory.
Injuries
Injuries are one of the main challenges you'll face in managing Juventus. Chiesa, Pogba, Szczęsny, and Di Maria are all out with long-term injuries, and their absence will be sorely felt. The lack of an adequate replacement for Chiesa and Di Maria is particularly concerning, and other options, such as Samuel Iling and Matias Soule, are not yet ready for the first team. Nicolo Fagioli and Fabio Miretti can replace Pogba in midfield, but his long-term injury is still a significant blow. While Perin can substitute for Tek in goal, he is not of the same quality as the Pole.
New Players
Adding new players to the team is also proving to be a challenge. Bremer, Di Maria, Kostic, Paredes, and Milik are all solid players, but integrating them into the team will take time. An untested team is easily beaten, and finding the right formula with this squad will be a significant challenge. With the injury-prone players mentioned earlier, you'll need to be prepared for the possibility of new signings also getting injured.
Staff Changes
In addition to player injuries, Juventus has undergone changes in management and coaching staff. Due to financial improprieties, the previous management team, including Agnelli and Nedved, has resigned, and many coaches have also left the club. You'll need to ensure that the Juventus staff is once again among the best in Serie A to compete at the highest level.
-15
To make matters worse, Juventus has been hit with a -15 points penalty by the Italian court. While this penalty may make the save a little easier in terms of the club's expectations for the first season, the media predicts that Juventus will be relegated. The club is simply expecting you to survive in the first season, and meeting even these minimal expectations will be challenging.
How to Succeed?
To bring Juventus back to glory, you'll need to work hard and be strategic in your approach. First, you'll need to save the club from relegation. Then, in the second season, you'll need to change the club's philosophy entirely. Start developing players from your own academy, such as Fagioli, Miretti, Rovella, Soule, and Iling, and add some Italian wonderkids to the squad. You'll also need to try to keep young stars like Dusan Vlahovic, one of the most promising young strikers in the game. Developing young players will be crucial to the club's long-term success.
Conclusion
In conclusion, managing Juventus in Football Manager 2023's latest update is one of the toughest challenges yet. With injuries, new players struggling to integrate, changes in management, and a points penalty, the obstacles are significant. However, with hard work and dedication, it's possible to bring Juventus back to its former glory. Can you lead Juventus to the top? The challenge is yours. Good luck!
