"Welcome to Boavista \n \nIntroduction \nBoavista are also known as the Panteras Negras (Black Panthers), they are part of the 5 clubs that have already won the Portuguese League (other 4 are Porto, Sporting, Benfica and Belenenses). \nBoavista don't have any major rivals, however since they were crowned champion they had to become rivals to the top 3 clubs (Porto, Benfica and Sporting).   \nAfter being crowned champion in 2001 Boavista started to go down hill. Boavista is in a very difficult financial moment, in real life Boavista don't even have enough money to pay their players. Boavista thought that they had hit rock bottom, but it got worse, after the corruption scandal Boavista was relegated to the second division and is now in the last places of the leauge! \nThe squad: \nThe team isn't very good, and it will need some new players. The main weak spots of the are: the fullbacks, keepers and centre midfield. The team does however have good stikers: João Tomás, Adriano and Djibril are good players. \nPlaying Reanto Santos on the left is probably a good ideia or retraining Sidnei also.  \nDon't forget to check out your youth squad, you might find a nice regen there! \n \nRecommend XI: \nGK: Neves \nDR: Diogo \nDL: Renato Santos \nDC: Jorge Silva \nDC: Araújo \nMC: Gilberto \nMC: Pedro Moreira \nAML: Rui Lima \nAMR: Ivan Santos \nST: João Tomás \nST: Djibril \nI've been playing Rui Lima as a AMC and set him as my play maker and his got 13 games 13 goals + 5 assists. \nKey players: \nJoão Tomás (striker), Rui Lima (midfielder/winger), Gilberto (midfielder) and Ivan Santos (winger) \nFinances: \nBoavista is not looking good here, however you will get €100k for transfers (and won't be able to get more). I would recommend turning your transfer budget to 0 so that you have more room to get players for free.  \nTransfers: \nPaulo Santos, Gk, free \nEduardo, DR/MC, free \nCristiano Teixeira, DL/ML/AML/AMC, free \nLéo, MC, on loan form Fluminense \nAlex Willian, MC/AMC, free \nRogerinho, AMC/AML, free \nI would also recommend an DL and an DC, however I had some difficulty finding some. \nThe Challenge: \nDon't be fooled by the media's previews, Boavista aren't looking good!  \nCan you lead Boavista to the first division? Can you make them champions? Can you make Boavista be part of the quatro grandes (big four)?  Are you a true manager?  \nGood Luck! \n"
