Fusion United

A tense game tonight as the Clarets, away to el parkesio FC drew 0-0 to drop to 2nd in the league, two points behind the new leaders. Not a hugely damaging draw to say the least, with there still being 22 games to go in the season, but a draw the Clarets must bounce back from to be sure. The game itself was very tight, with momentum swinging like a pendulum for either side, the young managers eager to get a foothold on the highly competitive divisions lead position. The stats below show the tightness of the game, with the Clarets manager hoping for more penetration of the opposition lines in future, the Clarets only registering 2 shots on target in 90 minutes, with 3 forwards on that is simply not enough.

Dissapointment for the Claret faithful as the Clarets go down 3-0 to LILINH FC, with the manager having 2 power supporting friends to help him get the line share of possession and the home advantage he only had 4% more possession more than the Clarets, so with Home advantage hopefully the Clarets can turn it around at home in the next CL group game. We do however still lead the group due to our better goal difference.

The Clarets have gotten back to winning ways in the league with a convincing 4-1 win over Darra FC. Goals from Sterling(2), Candra, and Fitzsimons gave the Clarets a 4-0 lead before Dias grabbed a consolation for the away side. With the leaders losing today, the Clarets take the top spot on Goal difference in what promises to be a really tight league! Attachment 26856

In a sensational coup for the club, we have signed right back Alberto Moreno for Midoxfire for 2.84M and only 1T, we used another T to rename him. Picture and stats below: His training rates are 33/56/109, so it is safe to say he is a fast trainer!

A early morning kickoff beckoned for the Clarets as they made the trip to Indonesia to face a rather distastefully named team, Sex FC. The pre-match omens where not good for the Clarets with the opponents 2.4Q higher than the away side. But in true Claret fashion, we managed to escape Indonesia with a narrow 2-1 victory thanks to two goals from Sandor, who came on for the injured Fitzsimons(4 days). Sadly Sandor was also injured(4 days) and both will be out for the next few games.

However, thanks to the away goals rule implemented in the cup competition Sex FC will need to win by 2 clear goals or 3 if the Clarets manage to score a goal at home. Ratings for the Clarets players are below!

Final Result: Sex FC 1(1) - 2(2) Fusion United

Following the injuries to Fitzsimons and Sandor, it was made abundantly clear by the manager in a board meeting that the Clarets lacked cover in the left side of midfield in case of injuries. The board agreed and voted to allow the manager to dip into the transfer market to find cover for Fitzsimons. The manager spent one token and about 2.93M on a young Irish Winger, Damien Duff. The 19 year old has 35Q(4*) but is a medium speed trainer(33/66/80) but will provide good cover when needed.

Sorry for not updating in the last few days, form has taken a bit of a dip? When I say a bit, I mean a bit as in the Titanic hit a bit of an iceberg :p But below is all the pictures along with a brief commentary on how these results affect things!

A bit of an unexpected draw leaves the Clarets with two points dropped, which could prove vital to any later title challenge. Candra suffers a four day injury, which all but rules him out for the next 3 or so days!

Attachment 27158

A narrow defeat at home leaves the Clarets with it all to do in the CL. They need LINH FC to win both of their games in order to get out of the group.

Attachment 27159

A heavy loss at home leaves the Clarets in 4th place after an impressive beginning to the season.

Attachment 27160

Another defeat in the league leaves the team devastated in what is a tough league. Other results meant that the Clarets would drop to 5th.

Attachment 27161

A much needed win for the Clarets as they booked their way into the last 16 of the cup. The extra funds will help to bring in players next season.

Attachment 27162

A comfy away win in the CL means a draw or better in the last group game will guaruntee the Clarets passage into the last 16.

Attachment 27163

An easy win for the Clarets keeps them in touch with the leaders, they now trail by 5 points after the leader lost his game today.

A nice win in the first leg away to MINH FC, which puts the Clarets in a position to make the quarter finals this year for the second year running, a historic first for the team. Sadly this game was not without it's controversies with 4 MINH players receiving cards and a fourth being sent off for a challenge which leaves Velasco out for a few days. Two goals from Scannell and one from Rodriguez Sealed an easy win.

A very narrow win for the Clarets against a team almost equal to them in Quality, only using a formation from the table provided in the forums where we able to overcome such an obstacle. However it took a Rivera free kick with the last kick of the game to settle it. The Clarets stay in 5th place, they play 3rd place tomorrow, hoping to close the gap on the race for the vital CL places for Season 6.

It was decided with the injury to Velasco to buy more reinforcements for the back-line, and the board allowed the manager to yet again dip into the transfer market. The fruits of his labour is a 5* 22 y/o CB at 4.11M, who although a slow trainer, will be sure of a starting spot to help shore up defensive lines. In other transfer news, it was decided after an injury again to Sandor that he would move on, for which the Clarets received 1M for his services. It s now felt that the team should not need any more additions until season six depending on Nordues virus.
