Deacs33 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Bringing Leeds Back Welcome to my career update page, this is the first time I have done something like this but thought I would give it a go and see if anyone was interested. In summary I am going to try and bring Leeds back to the top - I decided on this career after watching the Leeds v Middlesborough game earlier on today and obviously knowing a brief history of the Leeds glory days (Don Revie etc.). I am about to start my league campaign against Bolton having only signed Joleon Lescott so far. I am still on the lookout for a new Defensive Midfielder and a new Centre Back. I will post about my results here (along with highlights) and will start to share tactics etc. If anyone has any pointers on how I can approach this better then the advice would be welcomed. Thanks for reading Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deacs33 Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share Posted November 19, 2017 First Update Just to note, I have brought in Ainsley Maitland-Niles on loan from Arsenal. Also the uploading of highlights isn't currently working. So here are the results so far and a brief note to go with each Championship - v Bolton (A) Win 2-0 - (Stuart Dallas, Jay-Roy Grot) It was a good start to my career at Leeds as we comfortably beat Bolton at their ground, no real trouble but we are missing our main man Pablo Hernandez for the next 4 weeks. Carabao Cup 1st Rd - v Accrington (A) Win 2-1 - (Samu Said, Pierre-Michel Lasogga) We made this game a bit more difficult than we should of but Ainsley Maitland-Niles (On Loan from Arsenal) popped up with a great cross in the dying seconds to allow Lasogga to score a tap in Championship - v Preston (H) Win 2-0 - (Eunan O'Kane, Pierre-Michel Lasogga) This game wasn't too exciting as we dominated from the start and went on to win the game 2-0 with a goal in each half Championship - v Fulham (H) Win 2-1 - (Jay-Roy Grot (2)) Best game we have had so far against a decent team in the league as Fulham took the lead in the first half. I brought on Grot with 35 minutes left in the game and he went on to win the game for us Championship - v Sunderland (A) Lost 2-0 The most bizarre result we have had and not a game I expected to drop points from to be honest. We didn't have many chances, we hit the crossbar once but one own goal and a goalkeeping howler meant that we lost to a poor Sunderland side without much of a shout Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deacs33 Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 2nd Update Sorry for the lack of updates over the last few days - I was called away on a family emergency and was not able to get any FM time in. I have played 6 games since the last update and you can see the results below. There is also a screenshot of the table - is there anything else you would like to see for future posts? Results Opposition Result Scorers Comments Bradford City (A) - Carabao Cup 2nd Rd Won 3-2 Lasogga (3) A typical cup game with a high amount of changes to the starting 11 but we ended up with a win in the end thanks to a great hat trick from Lasogga Nottingham Forest (A) Draw 1-1 Roofe A game we should of won as Nott Forest sat in the bottom 4 at the time and we dominated the game but failed to finish chance after chance Burton (H) Win 5-0 Lasogga (2) Alioski O'Kane Jansson A dominant performance as to be expected and a goal for Alioski on his return from a long term injury since pre season. Birmingham (H) Win 2-0 Lasogga (2) Two second half goals won us this game as we kept the pressure on at the top of the championship Millwall (A) Draw 1-1 Hernandez This game was very even and could of gone either way but no one could get the 2nd goal West Ham (A) - Carabao Cup 3rd Rd Lost 1-0 I put out a strong team for this but was still not hopeful about the result as we played premier league opposition for the first time since I took over Leeds. We gave them a good run for their money as Kouyate got sent off for West Ham and we got more chances than they did but we could not finish any of them and a goal in the last 10 minutes from Chicarito meant that we crashed out the cup in the 3rd round Table Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
akademix17 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 That's a great choice. One of the 'traditional' clubs, always a good idea. Bring them back to where they belong. I still remember I used to have a Lee Sharpe shirt and after that I liked them because Viduka and Kewell sounded like cool names. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
