Welcome to Part 2 of my yearly occurring Leiston save, due to the delay of FM25. I have decided to use Mustermann's Iconic skin with hidden attributes to give me more of a challenge this year. A few new faces at Victory Road, including Portuguese Starboy Ismael Fatadjo, Harley Curtis, a Jack Manly loan made permanent, Kyran Clements at the back, Ben Fowkes and Fraser Alexander join the team, with alot of players including Zach Dronfield sadly (who will make a return) leaving to create their subsequent careers. Many holes were left in the team with a severe lack of backups meaning we had to spend smartly to counter this. Due to the lack of attribute scouting, I decided to turn this career into a sort of moneyball save, finding value in the cherry pickings of the English leagues. Our first 8 signings did exactly that. A centreback in Mungo Bridge, who I remember appearing in the saves from last year joined the blues, alongside Khalon Haysman and Max Bramley in goal. 2 Loans game in for cheap from teams above us, Paris Lock on a free loan from AFC Wimbledon and Sam Gale, a holding DM from Gillingham. To finish off the transfer window, 3 more free transfers came in, including Fulham boy John Esenga to compliment Ollie Saunders at left back, Tyrique Hyde and finally Jordan Alawode-Williams to round off the transfer window. With rumours of a takeover hitting my inbox, I cannot wait to start the season and get back in the dugout with the lads. Here's how we lined up for the first game of the season, an underwhelming 2-2 draw against Halesowen, with 2 new transfers getting our goals.
