Lufcberg22 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Finished my first season and won promotion via the play offs. Beating norwich 5-2 on aggregate the beating cardiff 2-0 in the final. Steve morrison finished with 33 goalsin 45 games beating the next highest scorer in the league by 7 goals. dominic poleon won young player of the year with 6 goals and 16 assists in 35 games from CAM. In 46 games my team scored 80 goals and conceeded 56 so not brilliant defensively but i know where i need to work on most to keep me up next season. I will update through the summer transfer window on signings and departures. I plan on using exactly the same tactic and see how i do first season in the premiership. well done on promotion mate.. hopefully you can make some good signings and keep them up or even head to mid table. im 11 games in sitting on top only losing 2 games. Got a good feeling about this season... scoring for fun and defence solid.. lost on pens away at the emirates to arsenal 3rd round of carling cup.

Got a good feeling about this season... scoring for fun and defence solid.. lost on pens away at the emirates to arsenal 3rd round of carling cup. Cheers mate ive made a few signings so far ive signed kolbeinn from ajax as morrison will never cut it in the premiership im surprised with his attributes he scored as many as he did for me. he missed a lot of sitters aswell. also signed adam campbell from newcastle as a young striker who i aim to bring through and signed stoppila sunzu for CB.

macca72 Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 Del Fabro will be pushing for a place in my best 11 soon, turned down bids from Arsenal, Tottenham, Fiorentina, Napoli, Roma & Udinese for him! I also expect Gauld to overtake one of the attacking 3 behind the striker soon as he develops more. Just noticed this earlier in the thread, well done Sir, good prediction...

garymac Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 coming to end of football manager 2014 best signings were Thievy averaged 20 goals a season cerri not far behind barkley assists for fun Sterling hated me but still done a job !!! Fabio averaged over 7 for 4 consecutive seasons Played till 2021 5 yr in PL highest finish 5th but won euro cup and FA cup and 1 x super cup so happy wid my progress best version yet for me always struggled with previous versions Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca72 Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 Noticed this during the FM15 preview video for us Leeds fans... Hugely disappointed with Silvestri, I really hope he got a tweak before the data lockdown. Ajose looks surprisingly more promising, as does Murphy, but Mowatt should be better (than Murphy anyway)... EDIT: I think that last star on Mowatt is black, which means he may actually prove to be very good. Hope they get Cook right, and can't wait to see Adryan, Bellusci, Del Fabro, Montenegro & Doukara... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
evertonmarc Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Everton fan here, think in FM15 i'll start with a lower division team, however I'd prefer to run one of the "sleeping giants" so to speak. Have decided on Leeds.....Always had a bit of a soft spot for them. Shocking how the club has been treated over the last few years As the FM15 team pages are a few weeks away I guess, can any of you Leeds fans give any info on the current team this year? I'm talking real-life of course, who's hot and who's not....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GK - Silvestri, has looked very, very classy for us, could be potentially very good. CB - Bellusci, maverick Centre Back. Youtube him in his games for Leeds and you'll see what I mean DM - Cook, from the academy and looks amazing, best find for years CM - Mowatt, similar to Cook, lots of potential AM - Adryan, noones really seen him yet, but the hype is huge (20yr Old Brazilian U21 international number 10) CF - Antenucci, gets caught offside a lot, but has looked very good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorovic Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Hello fellow Leeds supporters Leeds looks fine this year and I am looking forward to do something with them. Squad looks good, but I am a bit disappointed that Silvestri isn't rated higher, but oh well. Finance looks fine, but was hoping for a bigger transfer budget. I so want to play 5-3-2 with this side, I have no idea why I want it but there is something that I like about that tactic. My first thoughts for transfers was that I needed a new central defender, a midfielder and possible a striker. Selling Austin, Norris, Tonge, Hunt and Morison. How do you all like Leeds this year?

js150 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I've started out playing a narrow 4-5-1: GK: Silvestri RB: Byram RCB: Bellusci LCB: Pearce LB: White DMC: Austin RCM: Bianchi CM: Sloth LCM: Mowatt AMC: Adryan ST: Antenucci I've managed to move on Hunt, Morison & Warnock. Struggled to move on Norris, Wootton, Thompson, Tonge, Ajose. Haven't signed any others but have made Adryan & Del Fabros deals permanent. We look really good tbh.

benlufc Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 ive gone 4-3-1-2 but the middle of the 3 is set more defensively, mainly so i could use a centre mid more than a DM in that role giving me more options with bianchi austin cook Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
js150 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 It does annoy me that they haven't got the positioning right for a few players. Austin should be Accomplished at ACM as well as DCM & CM. Cook should be Accomplished at DCM & ACM as well as CM. Having to retrain them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cook should be Accomplished at DCM & ACM as well as CM. Having to retrain them. Yeah it is a bit like last year i had a 5-2-1-2 formation that i really liked and did well with but byram wasnt a RWB. im trying to recreate that again in this game aswell but with the amount of decent midfielders we have it id rather go with the 4-3-1-2. because im trying to get tactics sorted ive put salerno on bringing players in he brought chris eagles so ive added 4-3-3 to work on aswell but he can play any across AM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
js150 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Think I'm going to restart when I get home, have a better go a moving on the deadwood and may go with a 5-2-1-2. Antenucci has 7 goals in 4 games and Sharp 4 in 6 when playing 4-1-3-1-1 so is a shame not being able to fit them both in. Will have a better go at recruiting new staff members as well.

js150 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Fair enough, still think I'll give 5-2-1-2 a go on the new save, gives a chance to blood Del Fabro, Doukara & Montenegro a bit more. Should also allow me to move on more of the deadwood in midfield (Tonge, Norris, Thompson. May even move Murphy on due to my growing hatred of him and his abysmal real life performances).

Coen Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Hi guys, good to see so many familiar names again. Really looking forward to playing with Leeds this year, I've had a quick look at the beta and the squad does look pretty strong although as expected there's a bit of a lack of decent wide players. So it will be really interesting to see how people approach the squad, I tend to prefer to play a 4-4-2 so I'd probably need to bring some wingers in, but I see some are already trying a narrower formation and trying to get the best out of the current midfield talent. I doubt I'll have much time to play around with the beta, I may just wait for the full release before starting a proper save, but I'll be reading any info on potential signings/tactics etc that you fellas post with interest.

yorkiegbr Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Leeds lack wide players, but any leeds fan know this. However there are some good players out there that will sign for free/next to nothing. I have currently signed, Lewis Macleod from Ranger 240k and currently notching up MOM performances on a regular basis. Stephen McLaughlin from Forest picked him up for 250k and a good versatile player for the level. Chris Eagles again like McLaughlin, versatile and decent for the level. but Free. With these extra players and I have yet to lose a game, using a Diamond formation set for control build up play. I off loaded Hunt, and Morrison, resisted urge to off load White as there are no decent replacements. Cook and Cooper seem ok, but they hopefully will develop more as time goes on. M.O.T /Edit, Had to use a new forum account as forgot old one lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
