After a couple of tries with stories in our beloved game of Football Manager 2010, none of the stories had made me want to continue managing that team and eventually getting bored of playing then posting on LW. After thinking and reading Palacios' article on how to not get bored of Football Manager I have managed to try a new game and actually stick to it and this time I've managed to stay in Europe and try with a inexperienced Belarusian football club, followed by the name of Torpedo, which is one of the reasons in which I decided to manage them, the name was cool and the Belarusian league is a fantastic experience. So I will be keeping you up to date, by bring you updates from every 3 months of play, which let's hope goes well, as first of all I bring you the Pre-Season update.February the 27th was the day I actually arrived at the club located in Zhodzina where I knew from then on it wouldn't be the biggest challenge i've had in my previous FM careers, But I was predicted in the last place and with the ambitions to not get relegated within my first season in charge at FC Torpedo. I decided to lay low in the first couple of weeks by not going into my budget too much so there is more available hen I know what my team is like and how they can play. So I took my team for 13 friendly matches to make us match fit and ready for the new season, we also went on a tour on the small country of Latvia, which got us 4 friendly tours including 1 unfortunate result against the European group challengers FK Ventspills. Below are the results and goal-scorers from all of the friendlies in the build up to the new season.
So after only 3 defeats I knew my team was ready for the new season, and seemed as if they were approaching the new season quicker than I ever had before, and I also happened to feel more confident of my team than I had ever before in an FM2010 saved game. Throughout these 13 fixtures, I also managed to bring in a group of new lad's who who mainly came from different regions throughout the small country of Belarus. The first signing in was the experienced Igor Kvyatkoskiy who could play in the central defender role, which was in real need for filling after noticing weaknesses had struck that position. One of my key signings was the young Belarusian from BATE named Yuriy Ryzhko who is one of my best prospects in the team due to his great skill at the back, who cost Torpedo £6k for his duties. The other transfers were Andrey Lavrik from Aktobe for £50k, Pavel Sid'ko for free, and Alexey Pinchuk from Gomel for a great deal of £3k.
