Lautaro Martinez
Justin Kluivert
Lorenzo/Luca Pellegrini
Patrik Schick [this is his NO EXCUSES season]
Mattia Caldara
Matteo Politano
Rolando Mandragora
Alex Meret
Nicolo Barella

Some players to keep an eye on this season off the top of my head that have made a jump either to a new team or with a larger role

This is by no means meant to be a comprehensive or definitive list, I'll probably think more of it closer to the season starting

by Robespierre Sun Jul 29, 2018 6:19 pm

Politano

my RW comes from France

by Robespierre Sun Jul 29, 2018 6:19 pm

I expect Schick to be great this year too
His problems are overcame, or at least it seems , very good summer season atm
For the rest I don't know, every year you get unexpected surprises. Who talked about Torreira last June..

by Luca Sun Jul 29, 2018 6:22 pm

Politano is interesting to see at a club like Inter, I think it's too much for him but he can be serviceable.

You better hope he does well @robespierre, or else its Candreva time Proud

by McLewis Sun Jul 29, 2018 7:32 pm

Depending on how much time he gets, Ante Coric is another to keep an eye on.

There's a lot of buzz within the club about him. Even the older players have taken notice of his ability on the ball.

Pjaca heading to Fiore on a loan.

Pjaca - Simeone - Chiesa

The Lega Serie A has confirmed that Chievo-Juventus will be the season’s curtain raiser, and it could be Cristiano Ronaldo’s debut.

FFS. Well I see 4/9 points from those 3 games.

Think we'll beat one of Milan or Torino, but not at all sure about Atalanta.

Good riddance BeIN with your shitty app, your 30fps and your annoying commentators.

I'm curios at what times will the Match of the Week be. If it's the evening game, then it will be against college football on Saturdays and NFL on Sundays and that would be a fail. Needs to be one of the 15 pm games.

by McLewis Wed Aug 08, 2018 5:39 am

I don't even care about the commentary or matchday programming as I mute it all anyway. Just happy to be able to watch a Serie A game without it being interrupted by some random La Liga match.

by breva Wed Aug 08, 2018 6:58 am

Great. BEIN's owners were trying to push Ligue 1 because of PSG and would show Ligue 1 games over Serie A games.

Serie A has a new logo now

Facebook will air one match of Serie A (and one from Spain) each week for free, the first one is Chievo vs Juve it's not surprising.

It says UK but facebook is worldwide

by Hapless_Hans Fri Aug 10, 2018 10:07 pm

So I have a series of question regarding Serie A and the assembling of a certain f---y team.

1. Who will be Romas starting GK?

2. Will Andrea Conti be back and when, or is his young career already over?

by Luca Fri Aug 10, 2018 10:10 pm

1. Olsen
2. Yes, he will come back. Will he be the same? No way to tell but I can't think of a player that bounced back after two consecutive knee injuries in one year. I don't know if there is a timetable on his return, perhaps the Milan fans will know more

by Hapless_Hans Fri Aug 10, 2018 10:20 pm

Thanks.

And who will be Fiorentina's starting GK?

by McLewis Fri Aug 10, 2018 10:31 pm

Will be Alban Lafont, new signing from Toulouse in Ligue 1.
