That’s pretty impressive! How are you finding your first season in the premier league? You seem to have a mean defense but problems scoring in the top league - though we don’t know who your first 5 games were against - is that right? & where do you think you’ll finish?

Cheers mate, just finished a grewling 12 hour shift, yeah definitely, loaned quite a number of players this year as not got the best transfer budget. Always getting younger players, loaning them out and getting some profit. My aim for this season is just stay in the PL. Hopefully top 15 but anything better is great

This is what I won in my 30 seasons

Well nearing end of the season and I'll cant complain at all of the way we have achieved our goal, we made 18.5 million in transfers this season and made some excellent loan signings. Hopefully more to come next season at Bloomfield road!

So got these little gems coming at the end of the season, look decent and very happy that they should be bosmans

Into 4th season, not to bad again this season. No cup wins but another Europa spot for us next season

To be fair, you are making really good progress.

And what a signing! (as I mutter ‘not jealous, not jealous, nor jealous’). Massive wages though, can you share a screenshot of your squad page / highest earners? Would love to see how you structured it.

How happy are you with that tactic? 56 scored + 50 conceded. How useful is the midfield diamond for you? How well do the 2 inside forwards work for you? And 2 BPD - wow ambitious, is that working out ok?

Am interested as have a similar save with Sunderland, but you’ve done it in a different way which I like.

leedsunited87 · May 2, 2019

Trying a different approach to things now as leaked way to many goals last season. I have a very good outlook on transfers as I'm extremely tight and made alot of money in the past few seasons. Now in my 5th season, hoping for a little more and looking again at the scouting market

Huh. Thanks for posting them. Your wage structure is surprisingly fascinating.

2 players over 50k/wk - so Van Dijk really is a one-off, such a great signing for you right?
Only 20 players in your squad - that’s really small (from my perspective) - guess you don’t rotate much?
Europe - Are you planning for more depth to cope with the extra games? I found them to be an excellent way to develop youth / youngsters.
Of the 20, 6 players are <3k/wk, suggesting they are young & developing (?). That means really you have 15 core players plus some youth - super small squad - how are you coping with it?!

Nice work <thumbs up>

Cheers mate, yeah hes the special one. I'm abit like the old arsenal. Hate players being on fat wages, think it's wrong so when I get a player wanting 100k plus I sell. And buy cheaper, better players. I have a fantastic filter system that gives me alot of wonderkids at cheap prices and low wages. That's how I manage and it works well for me. Yes very small squad, I rotate alot of players, even the goalies only poay 30 odd games. Works well with intensive training I have set. Again with Europe I try to rotate and I got to the Europa semis last season but got nailed by AC Milan so was abit guttered on that one. Seme to do well against the bigger clubs but struggle against the lower teams. Only fm 18 I had this one special tactic but the life of me I cant remember it 😕
