Championship. Just right after “Winter Rush” matches

Hello, my dear readers! Happy Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Party

A time of new Leeds story report has come. Though I am not going to be too verbose today because of all these preparations to the holidays. Soooo… short post with good news about Leeds today.

At first I would like you to look at the Championship table after 27 fixtures played:

Third position in Championship, Football Manager 2010

Confident 3rd position by Leeds United!

Though situation in the end of November was quite poor when my Leeds went down to the 14th position after 4 losses in row that is marked by red frame in the picture below:

Short poor series and long great run by Leeds in Championship, FM 2010

But then you see what happened – great run of 9 victories in 10 matches! What’s the reason of such success? It’s simply! The 3-4-R-2 tactics (I wrote about it in the previous post) and Leeds squad were stabilized completely. The most important thing is that new Leeds players learned current team style and started to play football really together.

I am so proud of my guys and their dedication during “winter rush” games, especially those two away matches against rival Burnley won with 2:0 and 3:0 scores… It’s even impossible to single out one or two best players because I am happy with performance of every Leeds player currently! But, of course, I should start thinking about my players more deeply closer to the end of the season because promotion to the Premier League seems very possible now.

 

PS By the way – talking about Premier League. Football Manager 2010 made me laughing: Chelsea is on the 5th position in the table now. This fact has become the reason why Abramovich sacked Carlo Anchelotti and hired back Avraam Grant!!! Big Grin

    Well done, with Leeds Vitaliy. You still have a chance of fininshing 1st and u have a great chance of going up. Funny about Chelsea, they are right down in 8th in my game as well.

    The chairmen's treatment of the managers was always a funny and sometimes unrealistic in the FMs/CMs.
    I'm in 2014 in my current game. Arsenal's manager is a noname Italian, Chelsea's manager is Avraam Grant, Liverpool's manager is STILL Benitez (he won 2 mickey mouse cups from 2009, great achivement, huh?), Man Shitty's manager is Del Bosque (lol!).

    Although, the biggest surprise for me was Wenger's appointment as FC Bayern manager, after he was sacked from Arsenal because of poor run of results. They were sitting in mid-table position @ December.
    Well, I wasn't innocent in this topic, because I bought Fabregas from him in the last day of the summer transfer window, and he didn't have enough time or he didn't want to replace him. They were really struggling without him.

    Happy New (trophy stacked) Year for everyone!

    I've been following your blog for a while and you are doing really well with Leeds. Strange looking tactic but seems to work for you. Those Christmas results are great.
    I'll add your blog to my favourites.

    Nice blog. The part with the sideline shouts were very helpful. Keep on the good work.

    amal: Buy the game, you thief! 30-40 pounds for all the hours of gaming that FM gives you is cheap. Support the company so that they can develop the game even further.

  15. Jack Says:

    well done as usual!!!! I didn't think 3 at the back would work but it does. I have started a season with leeds and am using your tactic, early impressions are good. i managed to get kikin fonseca who will be a brilliant signing i think. Good Luck and great work!!

    You retarded Larsson is miles better dont think fergie will take boyd to man u and dont think boyd will ever single handedly change a champions league final while larsson has done both

  27. Laxeyman Says:

    Anonymous, do u mean Larsson now or when he was in his prime? In his prime Larsson was a better player as he played for a great time like Barca.

  28. Anonymous Says:

    obviously larsson in his prime cos now he's retired

  32. WROO10 Says:

    Henrik Larsson was a legend. Boyd is not nor ever will be in the same bracket of strikers as Larsson.

    Happy New year everyone.
