Good idea mixing the two stories together and adding in the frustrations to create a storyline. It will be interesting to see how Blackburn continue to do and see how the squad you built looks without you. It must feel nice being back "home" with your favorite club. ASM, Gnonto, Taylor, Summerville, and Rutter is a very good core to build the attack around.

I liked the additions of ASM, Kalulu, Zorgane and Estupiñán. My first thought was to get rid of some players who are deserting us irl 🤣 Llorente, Kristensen and Koch for example. Don't feel the need to do too much incomings during next transfer window. 1 potential major signing and a couple back up players maybe, but the attack I'm looking forward to using more. I was gutted and relieved at the same time not seeing Dan James wanted to use, but already strong on the wings.Ftr, Blackburn are still winless since I left, would be a shame to see them instantly drop down no I've gone, but will keep an eye out this season at least

You are using him a bit differently than I did, but that's also the charm of this game, I think. You can sign the same player at different times and play him for different clubs, and it won't always turn out the same way. So signing the same player 5 times could turn out to become 5 different experiences still (even though I do prefer not to recycle players too much).For me it seems to be a nostalgic competition between your three players fighting for the number 10 spot; Greenwood, Gelhardt and Rutter. All players I've enjoyed in recent careers.I know what you mean, often I've signed the same player sometimes because I know they can do what I need doing but have also used some in many different ways. I'm rotating quite a lot in regards to Rutter, Gnonto, Summerville, Gelhardt and Greenwood while also trying to improve Gray and Perkins. The only player to come out with any complaints so far is ASM who is my lowest priority, but is still a good asset, but if I had to lose one it's there.I keep changing formations too to also accommodate my large midfield with game time with added advantages I can play Gnonto, Gelhardt or Rutter as a ST to fully rotate and keep up game time. So far it's working hopefully it continues. Plus as I've move mid season I have no other objectives to worry about just domestic which I've managed both so pressure is off

@thurlow885How often do you buy a player and switch their position, e.g. make a CAM an ST?I find myself doing it a lot.

@thurlow885 I must admit, it's been a few years since I've switched clubs in a career.
Must try it again sometime.

Wasn't the plan in this career, but I so didn't feel like starting again right now either so went with a club change and hopefully with it being Leeds it keeps me invested

Some good results. The loss to United is expected but as a rival that had to be annoying. The 5th round of the FA Cup is when every draw will start getting hard, hopefully you can avoid City or Liverpool for another round.
Good transfer business. Bringing in former players is always fun to see how they will deliver at the second club.

Interesting turn of events for you to take another swing with Leeds United. Sorry to hear about your struggles with the game in the Blackburn save, but glad to see you finding a creative way to see yourself out of it. Sometimes it also adds to the gaming experience, when things don't go as planned. But still, I really do understand the frustration. Just grateful that I haven't encountered these issues myself...
Piroe looks like he's spearheading your side at the moment, great numbers for him so far. I'm also quite interested in seeing if Rutter will become as good for you, as he was for me recently. And you've signed another of my former go-to guys in Niels Nkounkou, I see. He's always performed better for me in game than his OVR would suggest. Winning at Ewood Park and signing arguably their best player is also quite a way to get back at your former employer. Brilliant. Good luck with this.
Oh! Visually this save looks better than anything you've ever done. Very easy on the eye, good job.

Thanks both and also feedback regarding presentation. I was planning on a new layout when starting the next season with Blackburn so figured I'd just change it up now I swapped clubs. Starting to get a bit more used to Canva on my phone somits definitely helping
Piroe is one of the players I was glad was still here, I was very tempted to sign him at Blackburn so I'm sure I would've got round to using him in another career at some point, definitely a very useful player and a recommendation for signing to anyone in similar position. Another I was hoping to use was Ampadu, but he had moved on as had a few youngsters I wouldn't have minded having. I was pretty glad that the majority of the current players out on loan irl were already gone which I felt was realistic. I doubt Greenwood would return, but I'm keeping him as he's here and I got rid of the rest in January I felt wouldn't or shouldn't still be at club 😜

My game weeks are a tad muddled up cross between being tired and not concentrating, last one is correct at least 🤣
