All the players are permanent transfers except Shaqiri who is on load with an option to buy for 15m The board gave me 50m to avoid relegation and then I sold Timo Horn to Tottenham for 30m, Nasri to Torino for 14m, Bamford to Fiorentina for 20m, Berardi to Cardiff for 12m, Anita, De Bock, Forshaw, Ideguchi for a total of another 10m It was a lot of money and I started targeting transfer listed players.

GK(D) WB (A) BPD (S) BPD (C) WB (A) DLP (D) BBM (S) IF/W (S) AP (S) IF/W (S) AF (A) I train my players to adapt to these roles and duties Always in attacking mentality. It paid off against big teams and when I'm losing in a match, I change it to very attacking and the all front 4 to attacking duty if needed Specific player instructions include "Shoot Less Often" to all midfielders and attackers Also, I scored loads of goals from corners so here's my strategy It's the same for left and right sides. The AMC is always the taker as I want the maximum number of players inside the penalty area. I aim to play the ball in the 6 yard box Last year, my two defenders scored a total of 23 goals from corners Link to post Share on other sites

nico_france 133 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Like often i started a side save with Leeds always nostalgic of your champions league rune with the likes of Dacourt, Kewell, Harte..., this year's especially worth it as Marcelo Bielsa is doing great IRL, and i remember the thrilling games i had when he was in charge of Marseille I started with transfer disabled and it's annoying that there is absolutely no cover for the CB spot, as a result i brought in the 31st of August KAMARA on loan from Marseille with a buyout clause of 5M€ that i will trigger for sure, i'm pretty sire you can get a lower fee Antonio MARIN is joining us from Dinamo in January Anyway halfway of this first season, we kind of performing pretty well, Bamford is solid upfront The tactic i'm using Really surprised by Kilch that i obviously did not know, lethal from outside the box Promotion should not be an issue as i will try to improve the squad in January, i just hope that EPL money won't kill the fun and the struggle to get my way to the very top Link to post Share on other sites

TF 0 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 (edited) Around halfway through the season and I'm struggling a lot, mostly for consistency. 11 Points off of an automatic spot and it'll probably get worse. Injuries left, right and center means I haven't been able to get a solid 11. The most annoying thing is, we do fine gaining points against anyone in the top half of the league, but seem to struggle against those in the bottom half. Is there anything anybody could suggest?

If i were you, I would play philips or forshaw in front of the central back two. Drop alioski and harrison back into rm and Lm positions. Bring saiz into CM role and leave roberts as striker. Play a counter attacking style and make your team more solid. Link to post Share on other sites

SouthernLeedsFan 1 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Thought I'd post some screenshots from my save. Doing well and promotion is looking very likely. Tried to do my January business with that in mind, getting rid of s few fringe players and adding players who have the potential to be part of a premier League squad. Flint and Vokes on loan both have cheap purchase options but have mainly been brought in to provide depth to make sure promotion is achieved as been suffering from a lot of injuries recently. Just managed to extend Foden's loan until the end of next season for 6k a week which is a great deal in my opinion! Looking forward to the summer transfer window and building a team capable of competing in the premier League (hopefully!) Link to post Share on other sites
