Ronald Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Backgroubd Formed in 2009, after the energy drink Red Bull purchased the license from a fifth division club in Germany. They were the third 'Red Bull' club after New York Red Bulls and Red Bull Salzburg. They are currently in the second tier of German football and at the start of the season are predicted to finish 10th. They have no history so no better team to make it my own! Location, stadia and irl information Here are some interesting articles on them which I thought I'd share: http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2014/mar/06/rb-leipzig-sending-shockwaves-through-german-football http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2014/sep/22/rb-leipzig-germany-red-bull-fans Goals for the career Get promoted into the Bundesliga Win the German Cup Develop a player from the youth team who will play more than 100 games for us Develop a player from the youth team who plays for the German national team Qualify for the Champions League Win the Bundesliga Stop the Bayern domination Win the Champions League Do the treble Have a team full of homegrown players win the Bundesliga Have a team full of homegrown players win the Champions League I'm going out for work in a bit so will update later, with all the FM stuff.

Ronald Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 November 2014 Update Generally a very positive start. We've also signed Demy De Zeeuw on a free. He adds further depth and has been solid. We're also top of the league in one way. We're also in a goalkeeping crisis and we're using our third choice keeper atm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD nawrat Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Good stuff so far. Fantastic win against Monchengladbach, very impressive Gallas looks like he could still do a job for you, despite being 37.

Ronald Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 January 2015 A very good start. Top of the league and looking like we'll be getting promoted. Had some bad news as Billy Gallas is homesick, and wants to leave, I don't want to let him go. We've got Bayer in the next round of the cup, I'm miles ahead of this update now, had too much fun playing to update! I've signed a new contract to June 2017 as well, so I'm here for the long term! Here are some of our star players: Lazaro and Poulsen. I'm going to need a right sided winger and probably a left sided winger as well, as I'll be losing my loanees. Any suggestions?

Ronald Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 RB Leipzig - End of Season review - 2014/2015 League Part 1 Results, Part 2 results A relatively easy title win. We won with it our games won on the bounce from November to March, be interesting to see who goes up with me. We scored 88 goals and conceded 37, I think I know where we need to improve on next season. German Cup Exceeded the board's expectations and knocked out a good top division team, don't think we could have asked for much more. Had chances at Bayer though... Star Men of the Season Yussuf Poulsen What a man. Needs to work on his finishing and composure for the top level, but leads the line so, so, so well for us. Demy De Zeeuw Complete midfielder, need to get a replacement in though. A younger model would be perfect. William Gallas Goal scoring centre back, felt homesick half way through the season, so not sure if he'll be with us next season. Hopefully though. Best of the rest Here's the rest of the squad's stats. Generally everyone did well, but need at least 2 new centre backs, a left back, a midfielder, two wingers and a striker if we're going to survive next season. Other info Transfers History Finances Overall judgement A good season. Need to get rid of the dead wood though, and get the board to upgrade the scouting network. Hopefully though, next season we can survive! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD nawrat Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Realised just a little while ago that Ante Rebic starts the game on loan at RB Leipzig - a very talented player, especially for the division (on FM14 he was a valuable asset at most PL clubs in the first season...).

Paulyob Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 just started as manager of RB Leipzig last night have looked into all players mentioned by yourself ronald, some good players there and i might sign 1/2 of the same players (gallas and de zeeuw most likely) at the start of the season i mutually terminated 4 or so of my players contracts (advised to do so by my assistant) and it seemed those players didnt want to be part of things at RB Leipzig so i didnt want them around anymore (for team morale purposes). ive done alot of scouting around and have come up with a decent shortlist which ill work off later today and ill identify which players are top of my list. i have only played 1 friendly game which was the in house, behind closed doors friendly v RB Leipzig II beat them 4-0 which isnt too bad of a start. next friendly game is away to slovan liberec which should be a decent test for us. will keep you updated, also could you please keep me updated with your save ronald as it might help me in mine. 1 question: does anyone have any recommended staff that i can try and get to the club also who should i let go from the staff ? thanks in advance. Paul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulyob Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 ive now played my whole pre-seaon only losing once to slovan liberec away 4-1 ive won the rest including my training camp games in Saxony albeit against non-league or 3rd division opposition. i have also played 1 league game at home to FC Ingolstadt 04 and won 3-0 so quite a decent start ive asked the board for a senior affiliate club and they came back with a list of 4 teams 1 of which was Bayern Munich so im very happy with that and since the link was announced ive loaned 2 talented youngsters of theirs for the coming season, when i get home i will put up a list of players who ive signed and a list of those ive let go. i sold 1 youngster to Real Madrid for over £2M Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronald Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 RB Leipzig midseason update 2014/15 League - Decent start, midtable and we are bettering the expectations, but we had a poverty start. Cup - Terrible. Only word to describe it. Transfers - Additions to the squad have been good, many of the free transfers were on one year deals. The Squad As you can see generally an average rating for the most part. If you have any requests for certain players or whatever don't hesitate to ask?

Ronald Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 RB Leipzig - End of Season review - 2014/2015 League All in all, solid enough. We tailed off at the end as shown with the results, and we could have finished in the top half. Results I'm not gonna bother with the cup as we already got knocked out, very annoying still. Star Man of the Season Signing of the season imo. Such a good midfielder, I need to get a younger version of him. Brilliant free signing. Best of the rest Other info Transfers Real change in the squad. Lots of additions, lots of departures. Fans players of the year Imo he didn't deserve, has struggled with the step up, although has signed a new long term deal. Best XI of all time Looking decent.

Bittah Dreamer Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I've just started a save with Leipzig. Played and won my first league game away to Nurenbug. I have completely over hauled the squad, bringing in almost an entirely new squad. Most of that is through non-fee or wage paying loans of young players. I made an offer for nearly every talented loan listed youth for zero wages or monthly fee and amazingly they were accepted for lots. Even better, I got them to come to me. And better still, once they were at the club I even got them extended for a second year on the same terms. I also bought Kramaric, Savitisky, Vallejo, Khune and Tariq (Khune and Kramaric with payments spread). They weren't interested in me but I turned their heads with a big money offer. With the new squad of free players, I managed to sell, loan out or release a lot of the players I already had - freeing up wages and transfer budget. My wages are still very tight so should be in good shape financially, but with a team that much to strong for the division. The good team about RBL being a "plastic" team is that I don't have to worry about ripping the heart and soul out of the team by such a massive churn. There was none to begin with!

Bittah Dreamer Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I restarted the game after the above post in order to be less reliant on loans, and to ensure I always paid at least something for loanees to prevent the game becoming too easy. I signed Kramaric, Widner, Estrada, Tariq and Vallejo on full time deals, and then Adama Traore, Suso, MBaye, Diego Reyes, Neves, Breel Embolo, Masip and a few others on loan. I also got Diskerud and Valdes(!!) on free transfers at Xmas and Kingsley Koman on loan. I let Rebic go back to Fiorentina at that point as he was behind Coman and Suso and was unlikely to see too many games. Won promotion from the 2. bundesliga in my first season at a canter, and preparing for a big German Cup semi-final away to Wolfsburg (i already knocked out Schalke 3-0 in the first round, and it should have been more). I'm quietly confident of pulling something off, though home advantage wlild certainly have been preferable. Adama Traore had been unstoppable for me. He's currently top scorer in the league with 19 goals and about 16 assists. Kramaric is second with 18 goals (he was out injured for three months so would have had more). I'm now plotting for next year, and have already lined up Lucas Romero and am going to buy either Jetro Willems or Brayan Angulo for left back, and Odegaard as well. Then I want to buy a new centre back of possible, preferably German and a young striker as well. I have most of my better loan players secured for next year, but may let Suso go as he's struggling to get into the team since Coman arrived. He scored something like 5 and set up 4 in his first 6 or 7 games, though his form has tailed off slightly. I would be open to letting Kramaric go as well if I got a really good offer, as I started using a false 9 system while he was injured which seemed to make me a bit more potent - and resulted in a very lengthy winning streak as well.
