March
Another 5 games coming up in March. Aim was for 10 points from the 15 - that would have left me in pretty decent shape to at least make the play offs. Things didn't pan out as I had hoped with a few very disappointing results!
Birmingham vs Leeds
It was coming! I dominated the...
Apologies for the lack of updates. I have now finished February and March so will cover both below. Will finish the season tonight and post progress at the end of the season.
February
There were 5 matches in February and before playing any of them I thought I should be able to get at least 3...
January 2016
January proved to be a pivotal month with some great results to take me into the top 5 in the league. Managed to get a new striker in, with a few players going in the other direction. More on that later.
Played 6 won 3, drew 1, lost 1 (FA cup) At the end of January I am now on...
DECEMBER GOAL OF THE MONTH
ALEX MOWATT'S SENSATIONAL STRIKE TO EQUALISE AGAINST HULL WINS GOAL OF THE MONTH
DECEMBER PLAYER OF THE MONTH
MY TWO WING BACKS FINISH FIRST AND SECOND IN PLAYER OF THE MONTH - THEY ARE BOTH HAVING FANTASTIC SEASONS
December
December was a pretty good month - Played 6, Won 4, Drew 1 and Lost 1.
Leeds vs Hull
Pretty even game. Hull took the lead and I got the equaliser through a Mowatt screamer. Strikers still finding it hard getting goals.
Charlton vs Leeds
Got my first win in 4 games...
I've decided to change the format of my updates and post them every game month throughout the season.
Before moving to the new format, there are two games at the end of November I have to post updates on.
Match 18 Leeds vs Rotherham
Very difficult game at home and another poor performance by...
Match 11 Leeds vs Birmingham
Dominated possession but couldn't create many chances or shots on target. Got the winner from a set piece through Bamba. Mowatt assist. Worrying times for the strikers, wingbacks continuing to excel.
Match 12 Leeds vs Brighton
Very close game. Brighton...
As you can see from the screenshot, Byram and Taylor have been pretty lethal so far this season (especially Byram). They are getting a lot of the ball on each flank, keep possession well and when a chance presents itself get good balls into the box. They have a lot of assists but again would be...
Again apologies for the lack of updates. I've now played 16 games in the league and one carling cup game.
It's been a pretty mixed bag so far. I've dominated possession pretty much every match and have (after roughly the 5th game) started creating a decent amount of chances (2-4 CCC's every...
Sorry for the lack of updates. I had to go away for work and forgot my laptop!
I've a few matches to finish tonight and then will make another post. I plan to get playing a lot this weekend.
Absolutely agree. Those 3 are good enough to lead Leeds for many years in this game. Just need to find a balance that works! Played 4 games so far, will post again after 10. Finding it hard to get the midfield to create enough chances at the moment but hopefully as they learnt he tactics and...
Friendlies and Transfers
I am a big fan of playing as many friendlies as possible and always watch the match in 3D, and on elevated so that I can see if the tactic is working the way I want it to work.
In this case, I have set up 10 friendlies - Results as per below screenshot - I will write...
Looks good but already snapped up!!
Will post another update soon - nearly finished all friendlies.
Having a hard time getting a striker in - signed Amr Gamal but turned out he didn't get a wp so have had to loan him out! Disaster as he would have been perfect. Great stats for 325k.
2. Tactics
As mentioned above, I am going to try to create a successful possession based 532 with attacking wingbacks. I have went with the following initially but will be looking to tweak as the game progresses.
Key Roles
- Started with complete wingbacks as I want them to press high up...
Hello everyone,
I was reading a few football manager stories and thought it would be good to start one myself as my first ever post.
I will be posting various parts to this over the next week or so, probably break it down into pre-season and then post after every 10-15 games.
I have had...
