Lepoard Stars FC
Overview Attachment 16814
Lepoard Stars is a team originally from DR Congo.
It was founded on Oct 10 by LK/Jll02 (His initials), and currently plays in League Level 3.
It's aim is to promote football in Africa, as well as help young African players develop. The Lepoard is the National animal of
Congo DR, (well, now it's the okapi). The club has won 2 league titles, as well as quarter final appearances in the Cup and 3rd place in the Champions League.
History
Season 1:The disappointment
Lepoard Stars were lucky to be allowed into the League mid-season, as a team had pulled out due to financial troubles.
Teams wondered what this "star" team could do.
League leaders Red Bull FC had almost sealed the title with 6 games to go, and needed to beat
Lepoard Stars FC to ensure that. Two early goals in the match made them confident, only for Blaise to score twice to level the score at full time.
The "Lepoards" were now 3rd. Could the they hold that? 3 straight loses denied that and after drawing with 4th place Rio Preto in the final match,They were locked outside the promotion zone in 10th, 2 points from promotion. The board had remarkedc that LK did well for his first season, and
shouldnt be too disappointed. With this comfort, Lepoard Stars knew they could do it next season.
More follows.
Season 2
We had a bad start, losing our first two games and at the bottom of the table.
We came back and won the league with 3 games to go. We reached the second round of the cup
Season 3 Level 2
Lost our first three games. We then clawed back to 1st place and sealed the title from Harry Law FC with 2 games to go. We also reached the Semi Finals of the CL and suffered a 7-2 deafeat on aggregate. We also suffered our worst lose to date, losing 4-0 in the Cup Quarter Finals.
Season 4 Level 3
We hung around in the Top 3, before being moved up to 2nd. We then drew with Ale BFC, a team who we never beat, and then lost to our ally, ITAConnection. We finished ahead of the bot robots in 3rd.
We had difficulties passing the R16 in the CL after losing 3-0 to a Japanese team away. We then beat them 5-0 at home. They deserved to be in the Semis. We then got unluckily drewn with Ud.Chile, who went on to beat us 7-4 on aggregate. They walked over the other team, Kristina, in the finals.
We went out of the CUP in the R16.

League Round 2Lepoard Stars FC(1ST) VS Inter (7th)Lepoard Stars knew inter were going to down with a fight, but were confident of winning.Shot after shot came at the Inter defence, until there was breakthrough through Gunduz on the 26th minute.Blaise followed 30 minutes later with a spetacular bicycle kick. Shala of Inter scored what seemed to be an offside. LeapoardStars manager LK/Jll02 argued with the ref, only to get yellowcarded and forced to sit in the stands (I disconnected).Markov got LK back to his feet by scoring a header from a cross by Guntuz. Blaise soloed through the field to*"claw" one in. Now this is where the craziness begins. Guntuz was escorted off after a Inter player smashed into his leg. The playerwas given a yellow card. Blaise scored home the penalty that followed to earn himself a hat-trick.5 minutes later, bad form Dikete was strechered off while German Gladiator Nonnweiler came on to replace Guntuz. Defender Guerin Lokonga*was then escorted off the pitch too after colliding with the post. Hellmund and Amantegi each replaced the players. Inter scored a last minute cornerto make the score 5-2. Updates on the injuries are on the Teams homepage at*www.topelevenforums/teamshowcase/LepoardStars FC.comThis wonderful result puts the Lepoards on top, but are now second on by 1 Goal after Vostok1 FC won their*respective game 5-0.

Let me dust off the cobwebs.
[B]Young Player of the Season/B]
There have been many amazing talents, but two stood out.
This year's YPOTS goes too:
Pawel Janik.
The Polish AMC/AML 20 year old played amazingly well, taking 16 goals and 3 MOTM.
Runner up:
Lukazk Cieciura. The Polish 22 year old MC was on top form and helped the team alot, and took 11 goals and 1 MOTM.
Top Scorer
Blaise blew away the competetion, taking 39 goals with a game to go.
Second place goes to both AMR Scotte and ST Guntuz, both with 19 goals.
Player of the Year
Well. Im sure you can guess it.
Blaise.
The 22 year old Congo DR ST was simply unstoppable, taking a club record 39 goals AND taking 14 assists.
Blaise has truly made himself a legend and a 3 time POTS winner.

Transfer Center
(Insert grand music)....Today The Lepoards havent been able to secure a signing, but have shown an intrest to some AMC/MC and DC/DMC.The manager said "We need to secure 5* signings by the time the league starts to really push hard for our targets".
Targets:
The Board has realeased a set of targets for LK
.Champions League: Reach the Semis, and a bonus if you reach the final.
Cup: R16, as there are more expierenced managers around.
Sign a 5* young player and develop him into a 6*.League will come as soon as the fixtured are realesed.
Matches
The Champions League will be partically hard to get 1st place but the other teams are abandoned.The team that will win the CL is in my group. A 5* team 6Q better than me. Makes me pee my pants.
Cup, tonight we have an opponent only 0.3Q better than me, so close duel it will be at their stadium.More coming soon, in this VERY EXCITING season, do you agree?

"Excellent" were the words that came out of LK as he left the stadium.
The Lepoards had just beaten their friendly ally, FC Galiouse, 3-2 after extra time.
The first goal came from new Indonesian signing ML BatuBara, who was signed from
Manchester City for a fee of £2.06 million pounds, after his manager thought his form was bad. Afterwards, they also signed FC Great's Right Wingback for a fee of £2.46 million.
The Lepoards are hoping they can turn around their 3-0 defeat, especially after going up to 25,8Q from 24Q.
News Flash: Kabanga, long time AMC , has retired from professional football.
Nonnweiler and Scotte have also announced their departure at the end of the year.

Dikete has been sold to to Hurnilos FC for around 700K

Quick League Roundup
We suffered two consecitive losses to Dynamo Kiev 2-0, and our old rival/friend, Sean/ItaConnection FC 1-3.
They were both same Quality as us and I was not available for both games and they didnt attend either.
The first loss came due to me making a tactical mistake (maybe), because I put 3 DCs other than the usual DL DC DR format.
*The second was because Del Vecchio got injured and there were no spare MC's (Sergi is injured) to replace him.
We now sit in the Top 5 of the very 'Tight Top 6'
NEWSFLASH: We have signed a new 25 year old (NG) 5* Dutch AMC for around 2 million from AC Lazy, the Lepoard's 'teammate' in the league in Season 1.GO SPOTTED CATS!

YPOTS:Young Player of the Season:
Ji-Sung Park. Amazing performances from him and well done. The 20 year old stil has more potential...congrats though!
Top Scorer: Francis Blaise.
The 24 year old once again showed how good he is in ST and topped this year's top scorers!
BUT....
Player of the Season goes too...
Saban Gunduz! Great performances from him, and he scored the 2nd most goals in the team.
Well done!
Honarable mentions go to Markov, Strom and Sihel for solid performances.

Cup Round 1 Leg 1
Lepoard Star Stadium

GO SPOTTED CATS!

League Round 1
Final Score: 2-3
The other team, Juve Cala FC, unleashed their fury in the first minute through Grieco,
but Blaise countered with a solo in the 24th minute. D'Archivio slotted one in in the 38th minute.
20 minutes after half time, Sergi recieved a yellow card and Juve Cala's mid was injured. They didnt manage to convert the free-kick but
Gunduz crossed to Blaise, who tapped it in the 79th minute. 5 minutes later, Loreiro continued his great form and won the match.
Good start to the season

League Round 4
Cal FC 1 vs Lepoard Star FC 1
Guntuz was the lone scorer for the Lepoards, but we couldnt find a way past the Cal Defense and they managed to break through
our defense in the 52nd minute to draw with us. We could of fought for a win but I guess not tonight.
Cal FC Average Q: 28.5 Lepoard Stars Average Q: 29.8
League Round 5
Lepoard Star FC 3 Barcelona FC 1
Stade Lepoard
Barcelona decided to put a half-string squad and this proved disasterous.
lone striker Blaise got injured in the 2nd minute and was replaced by Ebeli M' Bombo.
On great form Loreiro scored a long distance wonder for the Lepoards a minute after the second half.
Guntuz replaced Ebeli M' Bombo after that, and Barcelona FC made their last subsition to try and dismantle our 4-4-2 formation. Aoundane scored an edge of box winner at 76 before Hori scored a consaltion in the 78th minute. Markov served Strom one of his wonder corners and the ball was powerfully headed in. Final Score: 3-1 and puts us in 2nd, 2 pts behind the leader and 1 pt ahead of Barcelona.
PS: The funny thing is, Barcelona FC were 37Q while we were 29.5 Q. I guess this is because they didnt put their full string squad so hooray for Lepoard Stars!
-
Great match by the Lepoards!

-
