Ok guys here start again here is what "formula" has brought me success.
First of all you are going to have to remember one
VERY basic thing.
ONE tactic will not bring success - you need at least two, one that attacks and one that defends or counter attacks when you have a lead over a game.
Currently I have found only ONE tactic that works for me it's called "Ghosts tactic"
http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/f103/fm1 ... 54136.html
Everytime a patch for the game is released an old tactic can suddenly stop working as good as it should.
Currently this tactic is "up to date" with the latest patch for Football manager.
As for me I use Ghosts tactic V3 as my version of FM2011 Is not patched up to date I am on version 1.2 (ghost tactic is currently V4 But there are some complaints it isnt working as well as it should)
Check which version of FM your are using.
IF you want Ghost tactic V3 for 1.2 let me know ill upload it for you. I tried V4 and it is not so good keep checking the thread I posted for updates a lot later on in the posts. (corner in version 3 are brilliant in version 4 they have all but dried up.)
Secondly.
On Leeds united:
You got next to feck all for a transfer kitty I had 600k and a weak wage budget try off loading the spongers be that on loan or threw sales.
Crap leeds players in FM2011
Collins
Faye (although he only got a few games for me I got Gavin McCann on a free)
Somma misses s**t loads.
Clayton wont improve enough for at least two full seasons this ones up to you. (and even then no way made a prem player just a championship player at best)
Leigh bromby, slow as f**k and costs you goals every game nearly every mistake in the championship came through him for me.
Billy paynter Had a huge run out for my side but just couldn't score too slow even with my new signings backing him up.
Good leeds players:
Max gradel is "Ok" that is all, not great, but OK his pace helps out. (although he is holding his own in the premiership for me at the moment)
Mike grella can score but he is not match winner.
Becchio - Best player in side.
RossMc - Slow and lightweight will score the odd goal and keeps play moving.
Paddy - when he returns you will notice a big improvement at least knocks 3 goals off a month.
Snoddy - Good player, will get assists and loads of chances on goal but misses them a lot.
Ramon Nunez - makes a big difference to the flow of your team, misses a lot. but does assist a fair few. has to play advanced winger or AMC i reccomend advanced winger.
Howson - steady eddy nothing amazing does pop up with the odd great goal, lacks bite.
BJ - Can not pass, can not play DMC even if you retrain him, I struggled to find a place for him in my team even when I was playing 3 in midfield. scores the odd pearl of a goal.
Killa - lucky for you this guy is slightly overrated in FM11 play him when you can his passing is 16 thats s**t hot, will win you games.
Bessone - Good here, but play him in the prem kiss your ass good by.
Bruce - easily your best CB the more you play him the better he gets currently cutting it in the prem for my team.
Cons - Your only decent right back - has a lot of INFLUENCE I dropped cry baby naylor as captain for him, plenty of pace which is always good for a RB - seemed that as my season went on all goals I took went in some way down his flank with him just flapping at a player.
Naylor - It was hard for me to judge him, when he played he did not seem to make mistakes, and put in a good shift slow as s**t though.
Ben parker - never got the chance.
Kasper - BRILLIANT! Saves your ass loads of times, apart from when the AI scores stupid 35yard free kicks.
So overall here is what I would do with the leeds team.
Get your self a good DMC to make up for the pussys we have.
Get more PACE at CB
Get at least one Pacey striker (jermiane will come on loan)
Ok cheap or FREE players for leeds.
Gavin McCann (DMC) Free - Tough tackling good mentality
Calum Davenport (DC) Free - quicker than what you got (isnt saying much, his concentration is Is high and i love this attribute in my defenders.)
Abderrahman Kabous (MC) Free - Not quick BUT has better stats than howson is a lot more aggressive and can TACKLE
Jermiane beckford (SC) Not free needs a small fee to LOAN him but WILL bang goals in for you in this divison, i had no problem loaning him in the January window.
Leigh griffiths (SC) Playing for a scotish side SNAP HIM UP HE IS BRILLIANT! I got him after promotion though - not sure if you will have enough cash for him straight away. Scores in the prem for me and is getting better everygame.
Good luck!
