In FM14, when i was tired of playing FM , i found a big challenge named Leeds United...

So, this year i am starting a new game with the sleeping lion 8-| This team as a big challenge because they don't have money and the expectation is to finish the season on the middle-table... but i want more, much more!

Currently i am in March, but i will tell you the story from the begin.... Let's play (H)

View attachment 298257

Bellusci, Byram, Antenucci and Adryan are the key players of the team, so i will choose a tatic to explore this players....Because we don't have money, the loan Market and the free players could be a big help to build a team capable to fight to go this year to the premier league.... through the play-off or finish in the 2 first positions is not important...the important is go to the first league....
 
Pre-season

I use this games to see if my tatics are going good and improve the self-esteem of my players....

The results wasn't very good and i was expecting the season begin.....

Tatics

I started playng in 4-2-3-1.

Transfers

as i told, i used be carefully the market and i bring imortant names to my clube: the Gk- Aranzubia, the AMR- jack grealish and the AML- Bernardesci ( the 2 lasts from loan)... Human Tariq and Savitskiy i lent up to have permission to play in England...

Official matches


The first games was better than i dreamed in my best dreams.... it is true that i was very lucky in a lot of games but in the first game that i lost i shot 25times and the other team 4 times....
A lot of games when i was losing o in draw in the final 25minutes, i pushed all the team to the attack and i won.... so, i admit, i was very lucky in some games....

I decided too, do not make a lot of attention of the cup's because they don't are my priority...but, in 13games, i become in the first place of the league... the players was going very good and they were very good mentally and sometimes we won games where we aren't the best team , but we won....

Going good at the first position and with good advantage to the second, i decided to try to do someting good at FA Cup... but my first opposite was MAN CITY and playing in their home....

Losing by 2-0 in the 70minute, i decidet to give instructions to arisk all.... and the result was...

I know that it wont be easy...i will need to be carefull ...in the save that i deleted wasn't good when i was in the PL. and the problem is that my best players are in loan in my club.... grealish, for example is evalueted in 10M.. i can't buy him....
 
Things going bad

Before the game i saw it and i decided to play in counter-attack and pray a little bit ..LOL

Contratry to what happened some games , they made a lot of shots , but the place in the final is mine :)

The dream continue and the objective is win against southampton ( lucky do not play against arsenal or chelsea, for example) and get a place in european competitions next year !!!!
 
Championship Finish


The championship is finished and i got 100 points :)
View attachment 298079



As you can see, antenucci was almost the best goalscorer of the season.... grealish was incredible....

Now i need to do someting to keep the phisics level of the players because we need to wait 28 days to the FA CUP FINAL.
But we have bad news too:

our best goalscorer will miss the game :(

I lost the FA CUP ... 4 weeks without games when i couldn't have friendly games made the phisical condition be very bad.....
The team played very good in the first 30minutes , but then they were a bit better...

Antenucci was coming of an injury , but with all these problems i mad more shots and more dangerous shots...

View attachment 297770

Strange Things:

Before the final, one journalist asked me how i was feeling because supposedly i was been eliminated...

My team didn't go to holidays..... let's see what will happen....

Conclusions of the season:

-Objetives well done : much better than i someday dreamed... Finished the league in the first position with 100 points;
- Played the final of the FA CUP, defying all the odds...

NEXT STEP :Premier League!!!!
 
Second Season

I am already playing at PL... Currently i am i november, but lets speak about all the months....

Pre-season

It beguns good, but the last 2 games, we loose... not good to begin the season

Transfers Market

For the 1 year at the PL , i think that we have too options: buy some experient players to try to keep the team on PL or something more dangerous: buy youngers players with a lt of potencial.... I choose the second... and i think that i was good.... I sold an experiente DC and with more 20M that the president gave me, i bought some youngers players... Exception for Balanta (i payed the clause of termination ), i tried to pay a part of the transfer in 48months....

View attachment 297474View attachment 297474

I was very lucky, because, for example, i was almost paying 8M for Timo Horn and i found Leali for Free....

I bought too Luka Jovic(for 7.5M), but he arrives only in January...

The team is very promising, but very young....
View attachment 297469

There is my team... i think that the weakest position is DL... i tryed Haidara and Davies (Tottenham) but the pkayers rejected the loan.....
 
Season's Games

The beginning of the season wasn't as i expectec... first game against Arsena, i was winning , but i lost in extra time by penalty...
The things was going bad and when the morale is bad, you loose all the games.... i was always going into the button 3, going out.... finally i think the thingas are going better... and in January i will have my new ST...Luka Jovic..

Antenucci is finally scoring goals, but he was 10 hours without goals....

End of Season

I've finished the season!
And i had a good second half of season... i finished in the season in 12place... my intention was the top10 but i think that wasn't bad! i went out of the cups very early because i puted the youngers players and the ones who played less in these competitions...Result: eliminated....

After the end of the season Man Utd asked me about an interview, but i refused, obvsiously8-|

3rd Season

I made the second season too fast, this one i will do it more slowly and more carefully....

Latter i will update my pre-season and my transfers market...

For this year i think that i need an good DL but not young... someone with experience...
I have a very young team and need some balance... I bought Neil Taylor from Swansea.

To play as striker I have luka jovic and one more time, i want one experienced player to have other option for this position... i bought Jordan Rhodes from Blackburn.

Playing in 4-3-3 , win the middle is very important, so i bought another option to play as DM.. From River, Kranevitter.
For the same reason and from the same club, i bought Mammana, an young DC....

Finally, I bouht Bernardesci... he was for 2 years in my club and I liked him :)
View attachment 781514(click to see the transfers)

I am in the pre-season and if I buy someone else I will update... but i spent a lot of money and i think that I am done...
Again, half of transfers are payed in 48months...

For these reasons, i accepted this :)

Haha, I got to the final and was beaten by Southampton 3-2 in my first season as Derby in which I finished on 99 points in the Championship, what a very similar season. Nice story mate
