ΝIK F.C. A Brazilian team from Greece

[nikolgiorgos]

It's few days now that we have a new application that shows the profile of the coach and the team.
This is about NIK F.C.





and the fb profil, being among the top 1% of the game.

[nikolgiorgos]

Well, that was some kind of motive to continue playing, so I 'm starting to be active from this lv15.
This is the team at day 1


of course I tried to under level my team for the Cup draw as the League draw too.

Well, in the Cup helped but not in the League. There, the quality of the teams is about the same as mine, with 5 and some 6* players.
Only one team has a low quality.




Bought some players so the team at day 6 has
those 3 nordgen above,
some players from previous seasons - the Brazilians (they gathered some sp so now they are early 6* players)
some old, cheap 5* veterans
and of course some low quality, 0 token academy players

Let me talk a little about my formation and orders.
I prefer to play from the flanks because it's more easy to find good wingers than ST. I don't mean exactly to find them - it's not so easy, but if you find the good ones, they are more steady in performance than the STs. Usually my wingers playing good during all their seasons.
A ST maybe can play well in a season and in the next he just can't score the same.
When I 'm playing vs teams that have wingers or ML & MR, I use DL + DR. Usually playing 4-5-1 V.
If playing vs teams that playing from the center, like 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 ND, then I gather my defenders in the center and playing 3-5-2V.
I prefer to play defense with counters because my experience so far shows that the game doesn't favor attacking unless opponent is much more easy team. Also, because I 'm not sure if I 'll watch my game, I always have set the defensive mentality. If the game is turning in the wrong way (don't have enough shots or if I am behind in the score), then I change to normal or attack.
Passing : From the flanks of course.
Pressing : Low - high gives a condition loss with the new update and from my games and experience so far, I couldn't see any bonus (any better performance) at high pressing.
The same with man to man marking. It's only condition loss and no bonus. If you 're gonna loose (bad day/bad roll dice), you're gonna loose. Game over.
Tackling style : As any other manager, I don't know if and how exactly hard-normal or easy tackling is working,
so hard tackling > if I 'm desperate to reverse a result and easy tackling in a friendly game or a game -domination vs an abandoned team.
Passing style mix, or if opponent doesn't have DM, maybe try long pass.
Counters - yes of course (except if I 'm playing attack)
Offside trap - I don't know if and how this is working, so I use it only if I 'm desperate to reverse a bad result, playing attack, maybe to pull some trigger in the program.
Arrows
Blue arrows for my defenders. Defense is very important so I want my D to be focus in defense. Also not going to attack or counters because 99% they will fail to score.
DMC -If I want to keep the score or oppo has a dangerous AMC > Blue. If I want to push my team to attack > red. Neither > no arrow
The same with my MCs.
Wingers of course with red arrows. I don't expect from my wingers to play defense (I hope that my D will do that job). I want them to score.
ST - no arrow, they are in attack any way.
In normal games I give the low, min bonus, easy games (or not interest) none bonus, in finals, difficult semi finals, I give max bonus.

I don't know if this way is correct 100%, but that's how I play and this way gave me a lot of titles so far.

Another season ended and another championship trophy added in my trophy room.
It was a tough league with many good opponents.



Some good games








key players were for another season my three wingers but my great respect goes for another season to Neymar.
With 17 goals, was the top scorer for another season, even as a 4* player.






This is the team the last days of the season


after playing in my Cup final, I started selling players, to go with low quality to the next season.


so the last day the team was this way


With that team I had to play the last game of my league, but it did it well

[nikolgiorgos]

In the beginning of the season I started with a medium quality team because I had a mix of 5-6* players but also some 1-2* player (14 players).
So I had in my Cup draw, many teams from levels below, or same lv but not high q.
In the final, I had an oppo, two levels bellow but he had a good team for his level, full of scouters.



Of course that wasn't enough to stop me
So , I won the cup undefeated

[nikolgiorgos]

Tribute to the players that gone this season.
It was the last season for some legends of the team


CEREZO


PELE (a token academy player I had for few seasons. Good but didn't worthy the sources I spend for him).


and one of the greatest players I had, EDER


this is one of his great games, it's from this season.


Even in his new team, he started playing like a madman


* Remarkable : Those players, I have them in negotiation list for some days, but I didn't have any descent offer, just a couple of 0T offers.
Well, something isn't working right in nego.

[nikolgiorgos]

Level 16. season 18 for my team NIK F.C.

I weak up early and bought some players to enforce my team for the Cup game.
So, this is the new team. The players above, are the new comers.


I bought only one nordgen because I want to sell some of them after my two cup games and maybe avoid a tough league draw.
After some refreshing, a bunch of nordgens appeared in the list


Cup game went well and I also unlocked "never walk alone" achvm


So, dedicated from Pink Floyd, "Fearless".
In the end of the song, we can hear a part of the Liverpool fans, singing in the field.
The video clip of course, isn't from Pink Floyd

This is the team day 8


and day 17


very disappointed that didn't have good ST. Most of the goals are coming from my wingers.
Ronaldinho when laying as winger, performing good and scoring but when playing as ST, is just mediocre (ST is his natural position, I added wingers positions).
I sold Benitez who was scoring every 2-3 games and bought another DC-DMC-MC.
With that STs disease, it's useless to have 2ST

[nikolgiorgos]

Very tough league this season.
Now with the new league draw, I had a group of very good teams (5-6* players), with active managers
Lost from the 2 last teams of the league




won the first, in the second game




let's see
