Leeds United Dynasty (also Interactive) - FM2010
So I intend to start a Leeds United Dynasty after their win over Man Utd in the FA Cup recently
What I intend to do is to make it an interactive dynasty as well (similar to those I've run before in the past). The rules for creating the players are below. Sign-ups take place here and the dynasty will start after an arbitrary (!) cut-off date to be determined. The rules for the players are taken from a FM challenge thread so all credit to that thread creator for his rules. Your player: Each player has a starting CA of 110 and PA of 200. (CA = Current Ability; PA = Potential Ability) All players will be 16 years old at the start. All players will be with Leeds United (!). You must have a european nation as your first or second nationality. I will not stand in your way of a move to a bigger club. If a bigger club, i.e a Premier Division/Serie A/La Liga side comes in for you, their bid will be accepted if it is at market value at a minimum. However, as far as possible, I will have the transfer take place at the start of the next season rather than immediately. What you need to do is to fill in is the following: Position (see below for options if you are not clear): First Name: Surname: Date Of Birth (day/month): Nationality: Second Nationality: Height (cm): Weight (kg): Favoured Foot (R, L or Both): Note that Both means 10 points less to spend Max of 2 favourite clubs: Max of 2 disliked clubs: Now for your attributes. For each section, Technical, Mental and Physical, you have a certain number of points to spend. These can be spread in any way you like. Technical Stats (60 points): Mental Stats (60 points): Physical Stats (40 points): The stats are split as follows, for those who don't have the game to hand. Technical (outfield players): Corners, Crossing, Dribbling, Finishing, First Touch, Free Kick Taking, Heading, Long Shots, Long Throws, Marking, Passing,Penalty Taking, Tackling, Technique. Technical (goalkeepers only): Aerial Ability, Command of Area, Communication, Eccentricity, Handling, Kicking, One on Ones, Reflexes, Rushing Out, Tendency to Punch, Throwing Mental: Aggression, Anticipation, Bravery, Composure, Concentration, Creativity, Decisions, Determination, Flair, Influence, Off the Ball, Positioning, Teamwork, Work Rate. Physical: Acceleration, Agility, Balance, Jumping, Natural Fitness, Pace, Stamina, Strength. You can also choose to sacrifice points to raise your starting CA. You can raise your initial CA by 10 points if you sacrifice 20 points from your starting stats. So for example, if you only 'spent' 40 points on your mental stats then you would have a starting CA of 120, thus raising all of your random stats. (Note: This means that you have a choice between creating a player with certain ideal stats or a player with higher CA but more randomly distributed stats) Positions: GK = Goalkeeper DR = Rightback WBR = Right wingback (a more offensive kind of rightback but not used that often in modern formations) DC = Centreback DL = Leftback WBL = Left wingback (a more offensive kind of leftback but not used that often in modern formations) DM = Defensive midfielder MC = Central Midfielder ML = Left sided midfielder MR = Right sided midfielder AMC = Attacking Central Midfielder AMR = Right winger AML = Left winger FC = Centre Forward FL = Right Forward (not recommended) FR = Left Forward (not recommended) ST = Striker I will be posting my own character below as a sample. Post below if you're interested. Edit: Please also consider the other sign-ups. If there are 3 GKs for example, not everyone will get playing time for obvious reasons. Edit2: Please indicate whether you want to be Right or Left Footed. If you want to be good with both feet, that will cost you 10 points. Edit3: If you want to play more than 1 position, that is possible. However, every additional position will be 5 points. So if you wanted to be a D RLC / M RLC / ST, it would cost you 30 points (6 additional positions). Edit4: Each player has a 5 year contract with Leeds for 5000 pounds a week.

OK, so we pick the attributes we want our stats assigned to and everything else is random. I'm in, I'll get up a player later today. |

The Club
Leeds United was founded in 1919. It currently plays in the English Coca-Cola League One and plays its home games at Elland Road. It's fiercest rivals are Manchester United, Chelsea and Galatasaray. The club was at its most successful in the 1970s but has not won a trophy for 17 years now. It recently came out of severe financial difficulties and is looking for a return to the top flight as quickly as possible. |

Notes:
I will be going pretty fast at the start until the season kicks off. I normally leave the friendlies to my assistant manager. As far as possible, I will play the youngsters because it looks like they are amongst the best players in the team. However, since they are so young, they will get tired so they might not get that many games. I'll be starting off with a 4-4-2 formation but we'll see how that goes. The club's expectation is that we win League 1. Last edited by law90026 : 01-06-2010 at 12:00 AM. |

Goalkeepers:
The first choice keeper is 16 year old Torin Mayhem. Is it too much to ask of a 16 year old? He's already far better than the backup keepers, 32 year old Shane Higgs and 29 year old Casper Ankergren. Defenders: Currently, the first choice right back is 27 year old Georgian international Lasha Salukvadze, a bargain buy at 220k. He is backed up by 20 year old Elliot Omozusi, who will see limited playing time this year. At left back, the starting spot is held by 16 year old Charles Schex. He is already deemed to be better than most players in the Championship, one level higher than where we are playing this year. No real backup for him except for Lasha, who can also play at the LB position. The starters are likely to be 28 year old Australian Patrick Kisnorbo and 16 year old Deacon Songalia. The 2 of them are also deemed to be better than most players in the Championship. This is a position of strength for the club as the main backups are Edward Woodrow and 29 year old Englishman Leigh Bromby, both also deemed to be good players at a Championship level. Midfielders: The right wing position is likely to go to 16 year old BB Gunn. His main competition is Camel Meriem but it's likely Meriem will slot into central midfield instead. Richard Snodgrass, a 21 year old Scottish youth international, is likely to be the main backup for the right wing and left wing spot. The left wing position is also likely to go to a 16 year old, Englishman Ace Idol. Besides Snodgrass and Meriem, another backup here is 22 year old Bradley Johnson. In central midfield, it'll be interesting to see who gets to start. Veteran Behran Hemdani would be the best choice for a defensive midfielder, Camel Meriem brings attacking flair while Frank Justice is a balance between the two. It's likely that the 3 will rotate though, depending on fatigue and the opposition. 2 other players will back up this position, Neil Kilkenny and Michael Doyle, both of whom are well suited to play at this level of competition. Strikers: Upfront, the obvious starter is 16 year old Dayne Ho, who has scored many goals during the pre-season. His strike partner will either be 25 year old Jermaine Beckford or fellow 16 year old Rob Nielsen. Again, it seems likely the 3 will be rotating for the 2 starting positions but Ho will likely play the most. The last striker in the rotation is 18 year old Tom Elliot, who may get some games but shouldn't expect too much. |

A couple of records were broken after that game:
Frank Justice is now the youngest ever Leeds goalscorer while Richard Nielsen is the youngest ever Leeds player. |
