Burton are known for their passing and high pressure football that has got them up the leagues. Some people even saying they are like german 'GIANTS' Borussia Dortmund. Manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has become in the the mix for other managerial jobs lately so if he does go who gets the job?

The club has 4 players in on loan who are, Zeli Ismail from Wolves, Jerome Binnom-Williams from Palace, Mark Duffy from Birmingham & Remi Matthews from Norwich. The club are predicted to finish 15th in the game but as they have shown with bringing in the right players the club can push towards the play offs.

Personally the team suits a 4-2-3-1 with the attacking wingers at the club.

The club train at the national teams training ground of St Georges Park. So the club is not shy on that quality as for training

So Can you get England's Little Dortmund to the height of the Barclays Premier League.

Who dares wins :-)

Coming to the end of my first month. Unbeaten so far but drawn 4 won 1. Try to play as Dortmund too :). Hard i must say!

Players in:

Jordan Rossiter

Jerome Sinclair

Mason Bennett

3 Good young players on loan, Sinclair has 5 in 6 so far in all comps. Rossiter is the heart of the midfield with Callum Reilly.

Predicted to finish 15th so but im hoping to finish towards to top half maybe the play offs.
