Bayer Leverkusen: Knocking BVB and Munich Off Their Perch!

Excellent Pre-season! Hopefully you'll bring it into the league form, good luck!

Captain's And Tactics

This season I have decided to give the honour of being captain to Stefan Keibling who has been a firm favourite with the fans since he joined in 2006.


I have given the vice-captaincy to Lars Bender who has also been a firm favourite with the fans since he joined in 2008.


This season I have decided to use a not very well used tactic particuarly in the German football leagues. It stregthens up the defence while also being very attacking at the same time.

Good choice for Captain and VC! and strong tactic will bring you good results

First Match Of The Season

Ballack made his managerial debut today agaisnt FC Oberneuland who play in the Bremen-Liga which is the 5th tier of German football. A victory was very much expected and anything less would be humiliating for Ballack and his team.


A stunning performance by the team and the best performance came from Keibling who scored four goals on route for a stunning 7-1 victory for Leverkusen away from home. In other news Jores Okore came of the bench after 65 minutes to make his debut for Leverkusen.

You conceded.

Cheers mate!

2013-05-04 12:17#97507 Louis O. : You conceded.

I still scored 7!!!

Leverkusen Get Easy 2nd Round Draw

Leverkusen have got a very good chance of progressing to the 3rd round of the German Cup after they were drawn against either Nottingen or Paderborn who are in the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg and the 2nd Bundesligue respectivly.

Leverkusen Make Two Deadline Day Steals

Ballack has again shown he has an eye for a bargain when it comes to signing young players from abroad, particuarly Brazil. Leverkusen has signed Renan Donizete and Douglas Jardel. What stands about these two players are the fact that Ballack signed both of them for 240k each becuase of their release clauses, a clause that the players original clubs are most likely very annoyed that they put in the players contracts.

Douglas Jardel:

A young striker from Brazil joins Leverkusen's already young striker force from Brazil. Jardel's transfer will go through in the summer transfer of 2013. He has all the attributes to become a world-class in the future and Ballack will be delighted to sign him for such a cheap fee.

Renan Donizete:

Another youngster from Brazil who also has great potential. His transfer will go through in the January transfer window of 2014. Ballack will be delighted to get such a promising player for such a cheap fee.

Ballack Happy With Europa League Group

Ballack has released this statement on the clubs webiste regarding his sides group in the Europa League this season.

"I am very happy with the sides we have been drawn agaisnt away from home Lille and Bursaspor will be difficult but I think we can get at least point at Bursaspor and will fight for a point at Lille. At home we should win all games. As for Heerenveen I beleive we should beat them home and away. I am hoping for top spot but garuntee the fans we will qualify at the very least."

Easy team in my opinion :P! Great wins though!

No one but Lille should be a threat in your Europa league group, btw Sidney Sam is a personal favourite of mine from FIFA 10. His overall was like 66 but he got me so many assists. Good luck for the season ahead!
