Feeling confident with a 2-0 advantage & no away goal but anything can happen:p
League Update
I started well winning the first 2 games & being joint favourites to win the league it was going well until today when we suffered a 2-0 home defeat to a team 5 points lower in quality & it was all down to me experimenting!

I added red arrows to my DL & DR & didnt take any notice of the fact that my opponent had a scout as an AMR??. So I got raped.
League table so far.

Transfer News
No real transfer news to add. I just upgraded my old Peters & Callaghan & also my rubbish Ball. All 3 players cost me just short of 30M & 6T
Hey kammy is it right I can only send one gift to one player per day ??? if so I sent one to CAT and it wouldn't let me send one to you too....Ladies first :rolleyes:
And to keep your thread on topic......great team you have...good luck with the new signings.

The good news is we scored the only away goal so Agg 3-3a
My next Opponent is a blast from the past CDM FC who I played in season 4. We beat him only to be knocked out in the next round, so hopefully it is not a repeat of that season except the win of course.

Champions League Update
I was expecting a 3-0-0 until tonight when I got beat by the bottom of the league. But after seeing Man U getting beat by WB I can feel a bit better. Still top of the league on goal difference so not to bad. what I can say is I tried to counter with 4-1-4-1 & for the second time in trying this I have got beat so it wont be happening again!

League update after 1st week
Not much to say but the results are getting harder to achieve as there are more active players as you progress, which makes you think more. I like that.

Nice one on the cup result and getting through.:cool:
End of the 2nd week
Well I feel like I have been on a roller coaster ride, the ups & downs of the league & Champions League & the highs & lows of the Cup. A week full of shocks injury's & lack of goals. Phew! I need a holiday!
I'll start with the League. DDWWDL was not what I wanted to see after the 2nd week, but gladly all other teams suffered similar results so the table is still wide open 4 points separating the top 6 clubs, I am the strongest of the 6 clubs as I am the 6th & holding all the rest up LOL.

Next the Champions League. Only 2 teams in the whole of the groups manage to go through unbeaten Kamikaze JR 6-0-0 & Gunners FC 5-1-0. We managed to just win our group on goal difference & are unfortunate to be drawn in the lower half of the draw where we will at some point face either of the forenamed clubs if we want to progress.
Attachment 13341
First we will have a similar opponent to face.

The Cup. Well what can I say I am really pleased to still be in it, pulling off some very good results against some strong opponents.
Preliminary's. 5-2 agg Quality +4
Qualifiers. 3-3a agg Quality -3.3
Play Offs. 6-0 agg Quality Level
Then the bombshell. We played a team same quality tactics were good we went 1-0 up after 5' then 1-1 2-1 up I'm thinking 2 away goals to take home I will settle for a 2-2 draw which happened in the 53' result I was pleased, then 3-2 down 4-2 down & finally 5-2 down. I have tried to find out what went wrong but couldn't see anything so tonight I play for survival needing a 3-0 or 4-1 win at home.

He will be playing 4-1-3N-2 as usual. Attachment 13348
I haven't decided yet what to play but my 2 preferences are 3-5-2Flat maybe with attacking arrows on flanks or 4-5-1Flat same attacking arrows. I also delayed the kick off so I could get the maximum rest out of my players which was a good decision after loosing in the league earlier this afternoon.
At the moment the pleasing factor to all this is the Treble is still on :p
