ΝIK F.C. A Brazilian team from Greece

Well, it didn't work - we're out of the CH.L., first time in the history of the team.
If I could make an analysis, the reasons were
- Not enough roster : I had to keep my low q players, so there are 4 positions for them/ I always keep an empty place for a fa or a special player I could find in the market/ 2 players that didn't earn my trust (not bad, but not good enough to support the team in tough games).
so, there are 15 capable players and that mean ...
- Injuries : with so few players, it's not only the loss of the player but the fact that an injured player looses his form too and even with the use of red packs, it's possible to get injured again the next day

Neymar, ST (a key player and maybe my best), previous day got injured, healed and from the beginning of the match, got injured again - yes, I know, this is happening :(

Singer and Emerson, 2 MC, Emerson was a key player and one of my best last season, after some injuries they lost their form :(

and another thing was about my Defenders. I trained and give them sa but not skill points. So their stats are the same when I bought them in the beginning of the season, meaning Def = Att = M&P.
I don't know if this has a relation, but they weren't so steady as my older defenders.
I usually add those points to Defense and M&P only.

Finally I can say that previous season, the team had better form and was more steady in performance.
Maybe that team had better chances to do this. This team needs some more time and another thing
well, I don't know if it maters, many- the older players of the team, had a second in a row, "heavy" season. After winning the treble (playing over 50 games), also this season had 2 games every day.
So, is this fatigue continuing in the next season ?
Maybe, as the injuries do.
Should I try this next season ? I don't know it yet. Maybe I 'll try it with my alt team :rolleyes:

Update for my Cup
I won the first game, away, so I have good chances for the final. I just have to find the players who still have the spirit and the guts to play, those last days of this exhausting period
Attachment 45783
30 shots, 2 goals. Terrible efficiency :(

In the small world of t11, Deola is in the same league with two familiar faces, two teams from my previous season CH.L.
Very good teams, Italian managers, who have good teams and they are active. In different circumstances I would like to play with them.
Attachment 45784

but they are friends with my alt team. When I was supported myself, they sent friend request and I accepted :D
Attachment 45785

Can you show your tactics/order plz?

I usually set a formation that count my opponent formation.
If I don't know how he is playing (this period for example, where oppo players don't have contracts and you can see weird formations), I prefer to set 4-5-1 V, def/counter/flanks and 2 blue arrows in my DC, two red arrows in my wingers.
If I 'm not satisfied from the game, I change to normal or attack.
If my oppo playing from the middle (without wingers or ML-MR) I use 3DC + 1DMC, 2 MC, 2wingers and 2 ST.
I use DR/DC and DL/DC so to make my defense narrow or wide, also use DC/DMC so if my oppo set 3ST, to put him back as third DC.
If I see that my oppo has only one DC then I use 2ST or maybe go from the middle, with 2 ST and one AMC.
normal tackling
passes, depending (if oppo has DM, not long)
zone/man to man depending

* if you see the board of a match (with the rates), then you can recognize what are the formations of the teams - but of course you don't know the orders.

Unfortunately my team, this last week was totally out of form (many of my key players), so I lost, home, the second semi final.
Attachment 46447

by the team which finally won the Cup.
Impressive- even if I was in a low lv Cup, the teams of the final was from the same lv, both with few 6* players.
Attachment 46448

and this is my CH.L. - I could win as the other times, but ...
my friend Nicolas, with Hiruma, did worst than me (with a team of scout/list players) :p
Attachment 46449

I never had such a bad rates and in so many players :(
Even my good STs had 2-3 games with bad performance. The only key player who was steady, was Eder, the captain of the team (lol).
Attachment 46450

At least last day, finished with a good game - but with another of those damn injuries :mad:
Attachment 46451

so I won the league.
My Polish friend was the only one who defeated me (at this last cursed week) and came 2nd but I lost another friend, Eric from Panama, who's team Starlight, couldn't make it this season
Attachment 46453

Neymar, my best player for another season, won everything :o
Attachment 46454

Attachment 46455

Attachment 46456

next season will be the last I'm going after a treble.
This time, I 'm trying something different.
Want to see if players out of contract affect the Cup draw.
So this is the team, last day of the season (almost - I sold my GK, last few hours, after renamed him
Iker Casillas - lol )
Attachment 46457

LV13 - I hope I 'll not loose my luck (like last week of previous season) and keep winning trophies
- but this season league is tough. Many strong, 5* teams, 4 ex- league winners, some familiar faces (those two players from Italy, I had in CH.L. two seasons ago and the team I played in CH.L. of previous season). None of them was my "friend".
Also, I wasn't with two, same lv friends - weird :confused:

As you can see in my guide, I bought few nordgen and a scout/list player, a GK, because I didn't have GK and my Cup game was after 2 hours.
The started team

later
Attachment 46702

I sold my low quality players after my decision not to go for another treble.
Ok, 3 are enough :p
My new players after I renamed them as Brazilian stars :o
Attachment 46703
Attachment 46704
Attachment 46705
Mauro Galvao won +256 in a game, so is almost ready to have a new sa as my other defenders.

My scout list GK
Attachment 46706

The AMC player I bought from another team. I also gave him ST position to use him as my third ST. A AMC position isn't my priority in formations anyway.
Attachment 46707

and the usual issue - how to find a MC player who performs good :(
Attachment 46708

After almost ten seasons, I decided to try again an academy player. Of course it was a good opportunity because it's early in the season, he had some high quality (24T) and in a position that always another one player is useful - ST :p
Attachment 46959

In his first game, played as a sub for the second half, nothing special, just got a 7.
In his second participation, also as sub, scored twice and got a 9 :)
Attachment 46960

It's obvious that MoM was a matter of time for him and got it in his 5th participation, in the Cup.
One goal was a F-K (right side) where I set him to test his ability. Maybe it's worthy to give him this sa :rolleyes:
Attachment 46961

So, it's time to give him a Brazilian (legend or star player) name so can be a part of the team for next seasons, as I do for most of my players.
Many seasons now, I 'm thinking about to give the name of the greatest Brazilian player, so I decided to give that challenge to my youngster.
Pele it's his new name, with no10 in his shirt :o
Attachment 46962

This season, league 's gonna be tough.
Many good teams, active managers and familiar faces.
Two managers from Italy, was together lv11 CH.L. and the team (with Arabic letters) which eliminated me in last season CH.L. knock out rounds :p
hmmm, time to pay back :rolleyes:

Half of the road and still leading undefeated (but I don't believe that I can hold it for long)
Attachment 47591
had the first draw
my GK got injured so played the rest of the match with a crippled GK. He made one save, oppo scored 1 goal from a free-kick, playing without ST - lol.
Attachment 47592

CH.L. gonna be tough :p
but let's see
Attachment 47594
Attachment 47595

as for the Cup, we already won a bronze plate :)
Attachment 47596

This season, I changed my tactics .
After I got read the low q players from previous season, I have many good 5* players for every position (except GK :rolleyes: )
also I give every gaining sp.
The team so far
Attachment 47597

The good - my young academy player
Attachment 47598

the bad
Coutinho is about to leave soon. Tomorrow he 'll be ready for the nego list, with his new (and useless sa), waiting for a good offer :p
Attachment 47599
Attachment 47600

I 'm gonna give Tostao some more chances as I gave some extra positions and sa.


The promising ones :p
