Royal Antwerp Team Guide

Background

Royal Antwerp is the oldest Football Club in all of Belgian, and they are coming off an immensely devastating season that saw them miss promotion by, yes, a single goal. Since then, a new owner has come into the power of the team, and he is hungry to promote this season. The Players are better and the amount of fans believing in the team has now doubled in just one short year, and the budget is larger than previous years. However, the team is still in financial trouble, and they need a leader that can control the profit and loss management as well as coach the team to success. By following the tips below, you will be able to do that very thing.

Recommended Scheming

Unfortunately, Antwerp doesn't have the most balanced squad. And because of this, a 4-1-4-1 formation scheme is usually the best way to go. This tactic allows for maximum penetration of the ball, while still having a nice wall of defenders to avoid the opposing team from scoring.

Recommended Lineup

Goalkeeper: Antonijo Jezina, Jordy Huysmans

Right Full Back: Daeseleire, Corryn

Central Full Back: Biset, Colpaert

Left Full Back: Vansteenkiste, Jaeken, Verstraeten

Left Winger: Camus, Dierckx

Right Winger: Remacle, Dequevy

Central Midfielder: Omolo, N'Diaye, Dom, Kasri

Strikers: Vleminckx, Lallemand, Owusu

Tips For Better Success

1) Promote on your first year to avoid insurmountable debt

2) Don't sell the farm, work with the Players you have for now

3) Slowly start to find better Players that provide better skills to your team as time goes on

4) Eventually get rid of Kudimbana to rid yourself of his contract

5) Eventually upgrade Binst and Limbombe

6) Allasane Diaby is a great free transfer to add to Antwerp

7) Left Full Back is a serious concern that needs a cheap loan to start with

8) Be mentally ready for a challenge unlike any other in FM17
