A PREMIER LEAGUE CHALLENGE - RELEGATION FIGHT TO SUCCESS
Hello and welcome to my new Football Manager 2019 story where I begin the game unemployed and simulate until just after christmas (in this case I simulated to the 27th of December) and am allowed to pick one of the three teams in the relegation side and attempt to firstly survive and then get the team to do as well as possible in the league for the next few seasons. After disappointment with a save yet again, I hope that you will enjoy this one and like and comment on the story. Thank you.
The sim finished and the relegation sides are Cardiff, Leicester and Huddersfield. I immediately took the chance to take over at Leicester City, especially after their success story in 2015/16 and they sit in 19th place although the relegation battle is tight. Southampton in 17th have 16 points whereas bottom placed Huddersfield have 14 points so the places could all quickly change. I left it with 1 game in the month, where we'll play Tottenham before going into the key month of January, with a very healthy budget of 30m. Brendan Rogers have already signed Carles Alena from Barcelona on loan and Lucas Alario from Bayer 04 for 8m. Not too bad but we won't use them much this season because we already have enough to start for the team.
Leicester won't make this challenge any easier though, we still have to win the Premier League and the morale of the team is extremely low, don't be surprised if the team goes down to the Championship, although I should be able to do well enough to prevent the side from being relegated. Obviously, Huddersfield would've been a bigger challenge, but Leicester have always intrigued me on FM and I'm quite happy to be taking over at the club.
These are the current results which we've gotten. The start wasn't too bad for the side but they've since entered abysmal form with little to no wins across the board. Obviously there is a good amount of work which needs to be done to restore the pride of Leicester City after their title-winning season.
And this is the league table - no one is doing especially bad in the season so far except for Spurs who sit in 9th place. It's a tight table and Arsenal are currently winning the league.
Next Update: Starting our time at Leicester
