Hello there.
I'm coming off the back of a longish hiatus from playing fm. Haven't played since fm 2019. So, I grabbed my copy of FM 2021 and started off with Leicester. I picked them because I want to challenge the Big 6 and become a super club, regularly in the hunt for the big titles. (I'm a Yanited fan by the way)
I didn't set any transfer restrictions, as to do that would just be shooting myself in the foot. I mean, I used Genie scout to check the budgets of the 'Big 6' and whoof! Even as Leicester, it was clear I'd have to get very creative with player purchases if I'd have any success in my quest.
So, off I went.
I like to use a 2 3 2 1 2 formation: two center backs, two wing backs and a half back, then a deep lying playmaker and a BBM to fill in the midfield slots. Then I also use an AP as my Am, and partner my AF with a pressing forward (a no-brainer since I have one of the best pressing forwards)
I'm at the start of the second season now, so I'll just post some pictures to bring you up to speed.
Yes, that's how last season ended. As you can see, we had a crappy start in the league but finished with 91 points!!! Still not enough to win the league though (A certain Liverpool won it)
Working now, so I'll update the thread later with my last season's transfers ( prepare for some surprises ), my tactics, league table and the top goal scorer chart.
