Almost the third in Premier League

Posted: 27 Sep 2010 10:32 PM PDT

The season #7 is over. I found my team at the 4th position in Premier League in the end. But it was almost the 3rd actually. Take a look at the final league fixture below.

Final fixture intrigue

Leeds United made a confident win against Everton. During this match I was opening and closing, opening and closing Premier League latest scores and looking into Aston Villa match with mixed feelings…

Leeds - Everton 1:0, FM 2010

You see on the screenshot below that Wigan equalled match score on the 62nd minute just right after the moment when referee sent off Gary Cahill. If Aston Villa didn't win the match Leeds would be on the 3rd place in PL. But unfortunately flamboyant midfielder Mesut Ozil scored a goal during the last 10 minutes of the game….

Premier League table of season #7 turned into the following screen shot:

Tottenham and Manchester City were too strong this season. At first Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool didn't get into Top 4 in my game!

But let's return to Leeds. It's certainly the best league result of Leeds in my game. You may compare it with other seasons:

Taken 75 points – new level for our team. Next season I am going jump even higher getting a title! And of course it's very tempting to show great efficient performance in Champions League:

FA Cup

I managed to win FA Cup twice in row! I always say it's the most complicated task in football and actually any kind of sports:

Winning tournament you won last year. Staying king of rock.

Final game was pretty easy because our opponent was Nottingham Forest (the 2nd position winner in the Championship). It doesn't worth your attention. It's much more interesting to take a look at very tough match in FA Cup semi-final against Arsenal:

Arsenal - Leeds 1:3, FM 2010

Andre-Pierre Gignac saved the game during the last minutes. I was thanking him very muchHappy And he strengthen himself in as semi-final hero scoring the 3rd convincing goal in the middle of extra time. It was very nervous game I must concede!

Hope to win FA Cup again in the next season!

Season #7 summary, FM 2010

Sergiy Kryvtsov became the best Leeds player of the season and Runner Up in Signing of the Season category.

Sergiy Kryvtsov - Fans Player of the Year

Here are his attributes:

Sergiy Kryvtsov managed to replace Brede Hangeland as defence rock completely. I didn't even expect such kind of performance from his side during the debut season.

This time I forgot to put here traditional screen shot with all Leeds players. Now it's too late because I have just started playing the next season. Excuse me about that please. Anyway I can inform you that among the best players were:

- Marco Verratti (as usually)

- Andre-Pierre Gignac (scored almost 20 goals this year)

- Pablo Sanchez (defender of Argentine feels himself in Leeds like fish in water)

OK, that's enough for now. My next game story post will not be about Leeds United just because I will tell you how I managed Northern Ireland on Euro 2016!
