One of my first blogs when I started this site was a review of my Valencia side on Football Manager 2018. Now, I'm heading back to Valencia for the 19 version. Valencia has always been a team that I've been intrigued by, ever since the days when they were winning La Liga and reaching the... Continue Reading →
My new Football Manager 2019 save sees us seize control of a sleeping giant in the form of Leeds United. The three-time English champions last won the league title back in 1992, the first season before the formation of the Premier League.

Another major outgoing came the next month, as club captain Dan-Axel Zagadou... Continue Reading →

After recording the best-ever finish in Atalanta's history, expectations increased heading into the 2020-21 campaign. Indeed, the board bumped our lowest possible expectation for the season from 'mid-table finish' up to 'top-half finish.' Another summer of outgoings preceded the campaign, with 26 players exiting the club either on permanent transfers, being released or on loan.... Continue Reading →
