I have already started to play my last (8th) season in Football Manager 2010. So I am kind of being tardy with Leeds story posts.

Leeds expectations for the season

I claimed challenging for the title. It's pretty obvious for me that my team is among title contenders. Though Sky Bet doesn't agree:

Media Prediction gives us the 7th position in this season as well:

But don't forget all these forecasts had been made before July transfers when I bought few world-class players…

Players out

I had some ideas of players I want to buy. It was naturally they cost much. Therefore a decision of selling some unneeded players and prospective youngsters was made. Additionally I understood that it's the last season in Football Manager 2010. So young talents who haven't grown to the first team level will have no chances to it in the next season.

Among those former Leeds players whom I said 'bye' I would like to single out:

- Brede Hangeland. He became too old and slow. But he was the best defender of Leeds United after 7 seasons.

- Javi Garcia. Cool piece of business. He didn't adapt in Leeds but performed quite good for Spain in Euro 2016. High competition for MC positions and prospective to get a lot of money helped me to decide selling Javi to Barcelona.

- Vincent Enyeama. Silviu Jr Lung proved to be somewhat even better, stable than Vincent. This is the reason why his transfer to Roma was completed.

- Jadson. Unpredictable flamboyant Brazilian became weaker due to age.

Players in

First of all I tried to buy Cesc Fabregas because of scout report explaining that Arsenal playmaker could be interested in leaving the club. But:

The Gunners were ruthless in their transfer negotiations

And now, welcome new Leeds United players!

Ramzi Achour

French very rapid attacking midfielder. Wonderkid. The best player of Euro 2016! You should remember him from the last but one post.

Now look at Achour's biography:

Mamadou Sakho

Mamadou Sakho. His name tells something every Football Manager gamer. It's just because of the fact that he has been growing to a world-class defender since Football Manager 2008. The same happened in Leeds story game. One of the best defenders in Football Manager 2010 have joined my club!

I think his brilliant biography can also be interesting to you, my dear readers:

Steven Taylor

Simply one of the best English defenders. I needed another defender because of many matches in the upcoming season. Remember Champions League awaits Leeds United this year!

Wayne Hennessey

Wayne is surprisingly confident goalkeeper in FM 2010. Score a goal against him was a complicated task always. It's a good luck to sign him on free especially when Lung and Areola had managed to get injuries before the season's start!

In the end I would like you to see the screen shot that is just for fun:

Seems like Leeds reputation is really high in Europe

Finally I would like to notice that I felt my Leeds United really strong with all newly bought players. We able to get a complete victory in any tournament now!
