It's pot luck with the images of these last two teams, I'm afraid; as neither of them saw fit to have clickable squad lists. I've hunted down images of them all, but I have no idea how recent/accurate they may be. As ever, please feel free to correct any indignities.

So, there we have it. There really is no substitute for experience. I hope you all found something to take from this - even if it's only a huge guffaw at the gulf between Inter and the next-lowest-Italian-quotient team. *g* (Srsly, I kind of guessed they'd be at the bottom which is why I did it, but I didn't realise they'd be that far at the bottom.) Me, I'm trying to firm up my resistance to Sampdoria. And Atalanta. And possibly Bari. Thank you all for your participation, and to everyone who's made cases for upgrades (even if they were unsuccessful).
It's been a blast. See you for the CL/Europa Cup ones in the New Year!

It's pot luck with the images of these last two teams, I'm afraid; as neither of them saw fit to have clickable squad lists. I've hunted down images of them all, but I have no idea how recent/accurate they may be. As ever, please feel free to correct any indignities.

So, there we have it. There really is no substitute for experience. I hope you all found something to take from this - even if it's only a huge guffaw at the gulf between Inter and the next-lowest-Italian-quotient team. *g* (Srsly, I kind of guessed they'd be at the bottom which is why I did it, but I didn't realise they'd be that far at the bottom.) Me, I'm trying to firm up my resistance to Sampdoria. And Atalanta. And possibly Bari. Thank you all for your participation, and to everyone who's made cases for upgrades (even if they were unsuccessful).
It's been a blast. See you for the CL/Europa Cup ones in the New Year!
