I think Como is the best promoted team this season. Although they still have many problems but they managed to get 14th position. I doubt they will be able to get top 10 position at the end of the season. But I am sure they will stay in Serie A next season. Fabregas is a good coach and he is a midfielder in his career so I think he can still make Como better. On the other hand I agree that Como has a problem in their defense. They are quite productive by scoring 11 goals but on the other hand they also conceded 15 goals. It seems they can bring in some defenders in the upcoming transfer market to solve this problem.
Status as a promotion team, of course this is not easy for Como, because they have to adapt to tighter competition than before, especially they also have to include several players who can compete in even tighter competition. Not to underestimate the players who managed to bring them promotion this season, but with tighter competition of course that is not enough for them to compete. So far I see it is still in a reasonable situation considering it is not easy to adapt quickly. However, they can still win, although the number of their defeats is still more. Of course they have to bring in some more players to make them stronger, in the next transfer window they must be able to take advantage of it.
This is true, but they are not just some ordinary team that promoted to Serie A, they are a team with rich owner which means they have a bit more deeper pockets than most clubs that promote. So expecting more from them wouldn't be really unlikely, they are looking like they are having some trouble but they are definitely not doing anything badly neither, they are looking quite good. I agree with defensive additions, because as a team that is newly promoted, if they can defend very well, as in park the bus, and not get scored on, then losing will be harder, plus having the offensive power they have, I believe counter attacking would also give them some scoring chances as well.
When you play like this, as a newly promoted team, this gives you the best chance. But for this type of strategy to work you need two things, first of all you need a defense that will rarely make mistakes and for this reason they need to get better defenders, Ramos is literally available for free, and for this to work they need to have some good wingers and striker that can run fast and keep the ball dribbling without trouble or losing. When you have these two then you are going to get a better result as well.
