Juventus on FM26 - Stop Losing
9 CONSECUTIVE SCUDETTI (2012-2020) — Serie A record. Buffon, Del Piero, Platini, Zidane, Pirlo. THE ALLIANZ STADIUM — first privately-owned Serie A stadium, theirs since 2011. But 2025-26: Tudor sacked after 8 winless games, Spalletti appointed. Europa League only. Jonathan David and Zhegrova signed. LA VECCHIA SIGNORA suffers but never for long.
Why choose Juventus?
Because Juventus is LA VECCHIA SIGNORA — the greatest institution in Italian football with 36 Scudetti. 9 consecutive titles from 2012 to 2020 — ABSOLUTE Serie A record. And a list of legends that would bring tears to your eyes: Michel Platini (3 consecutive Ballon d'Ors in Turin), Zinédine Zidane (European trophies in the dream), Andrea Pirlo (the most beautiful Serie A player), Alessandro Del Piero (THE symbol), Gianluigi Buffon. The Allianz Stadium (41,689 seats) is THE FIRST PRIVATELY-OWNED FOOTBALL STADIUM IN ITALY, built and owned by the club since 2011 — with a 'Walk of Fame' of 50 giant stars representing the greatest players in the club's history. But 2025-26: Tudor sacked after 8 winless games, Luciano Spalletti appointed. Europa League only. Jonathan David (free agent striker, multiple Ligue 1 top scorer) and Edon Zhegrova signed to compensate. In FM26, you take the most HISTORIC club in Italy in a transition period — with the PRESSURE of a Juve that can accept neither mediocrity nor the absence of CL.
The Spalletti era: methodical rebuilding
Spalletti won the Scudetto with Napoli in 2023 (after a 36-year wait!). He knows how to rebuild. In FM26, let him install his 4-3-3 with high pressing and short buildup from Szczęsny (if still there) or his successor. Jonathan David up front is a REVELATION.
Tactics: rediscover the bianconero possession game
Juve has historically played pragmatic, organized football — solid defense, effective transitions, controlled possession. Spalletti adds vertical pace. In FM26: 4-3-3 with Locatelli as pivot, Khephren Thuram box-to-box, David as false 9 or pure striker. Juve MUST rediscover their identity.
Objectives: the 37th Scudetto
Return to the Champions League (absolute priority). Then: challenge Inter and Milan for the Scudetto. Long term: a 3rd Champions League title (after 1985 and 1996). Juve only accepts THE SUMMIT.
Juve is the OBSESSION for trophies. 36 Scudetti, Buffon, Del Piero, Platini — an IMMENSE history. In FM26, rebuilding La Vecchia Signora is the most NOBLE mission in Italy. Forza Juve!
