Hi, The problem is you have to get rid of Neil Warnock's deadwood. A good place to start is Paddy Kenny....
I prefer a 4-5-1 formation, so i had to sign a couple of wingers Fahid Ben Kalfallah & Albert Crusat both ended with about 8 goals & 10 assists. McCormack scored 18 goals & Murphy 10 goals.
In 1st year FM14 Leeds save spent most of the year in the 6th-10th range, went into last game 5th. McCormack got sent off, lost 3-0 finished 7th.
I found the FM14 Leeds team plays very much, like the real Leeds team. A couple of great performance, but to many dropped points against teams in at the bottom of the table.
Got rid of Warnock (over paid, slow & too many yellow cards).
Replaced him with Dorian Leveque (Free/Guingamp). Replaced Kenny with Declan Rudd, also signed Darnel Situ (Free/Swansea), Mickael Firmin (Free/Toulouse) & Adli Ibrahim (Free/ManCity). 2nd year much better, End of Jan in 1st place, Rudd has 16 clean-sheets.
I guess it depends on your formation & tactics, but i found Lees,Pearce,Byrum,Murphy,Green & Rudy of the current players have all been very good.
