Season 42

Yes. There was a "Keep or Sell" thread that someone created once that had discussions and advice on what managers should do if they were unsure on what to do with existing players, of course yours was slightly different as you were looking for advice on whether you should buy a player or not.

Another thing I'd like to see is a sticky thread in General Chat for live transfers as they would get announced in a style you would see if it was Sky Sports News.

Get creating then July, your posts seem to hit it off more than any others, so there's more chance of it being stickied.

Another blasting 9-0 for RXL! Unfortunately MC's are a magnet for red cards, so we have now 1 MC blocked for League and 1 MC blocked for CL with 1 yellow card for league... Disgusting when you know that all MC's suck.. I would prefer to play w/o them for now :/

3 minutes for our Cup's kick off. We're positive we'll get badly wopphed, but this season too we are in the top 4. We would of loved having being sort on the lower table cause we would have had an incredible high chanche to go for the final.

Rivals have now lost their 4th consecutive match so now I have new rivals and a lead of 18 points and with 6 to play and with a superior goal difference of +33 I can't be caught so am proclaiming ourselves as champions.

Cage FC- lying in 3rd on GD. Messed up against the leaders other day,losing 1-0, that messes up hopes of winning it out,unless they slip up. Doubtful the run they're on. Looked at the remaining matches though, and their last 5 are a little tougher than mine, as they play 2nd, 5th and 6th - all solid teams. 2nd place SERGIO obviously have to play leaders Zagana, and they also face 4th place Ragor fc, who were top for a while. The toughest matches for me now are against 4th & 6th. Already played 1st and 2nd twice each. Not a good record over those 4 games, 2L 1D 1W - now it's all down to how we fair against the chasing pack.



thecageyones league 3 - my pure,non T-purchased squad - messed up here too, lost against the leaders twice, so I guess they deserve to win the league. They're a weaker side too, which proves it's not all about numbers and stats. They're not even 2nd or 3rd best team in terms of average quality or team value.

Both teams are in the CL semis, so I'll concentrate on that for each. I won't throw top 3 spots in the league, but I won't be as concerned about results as I would be if on top.

double post, sorry.

Well... That's Ramirez,O'Sullivan and Hogan all brought upto 8*130 quality meaning as of now we have SIX 8* players at our club as well as 9* Miku, this is very close to our best team back of L13/S13.

We are ready for the final challenges for this season.

RR Cup, Semi-Finals, 1st Leg



New Team: 3n-1-3w-1-2, 4-1-4-1, 3n-2w-2n-2w-1
Salvatore FC: 4-3-1-2, 3n-1-3w-1-2, 3w-2mc-3am-2, 3n-2mc-3am-2

Well, what to say, if not that we deserved much, much, much more than this. To start off, we have now the certainty that our opponent is a mere personal trainer, with absolutely and remotely not a single clue about this game. Proof is that he fielded his normal setup, and didn't even bother to take an eye on us shaping from ND to Dandelion 5 minutes before the start. And as we started, against him and 5 friends (alts?) supporting against us, we already were pressuring them and it was still early when we went ahead with Stark over a personal action. The guy realized probably at that point that if we fired out Kaiserslauten and Koln it wasn't sheer luck, but lacking any possible knowledge or ability he did what every Doll does when filled with tokens: he copied our Dandelion setup, gaining some field due to his overwhelming quality.

But since we're no nubs, at minute 30' we were already ahead of him shaping a 4-1-4-1 and knowing he'd pull out an offensive setup soon or late. Sure he was playing offensive and arrowed (personal trainer's troll rage) we did what we usually avoid: we gave reds on our central mids, and another one to Stark, clicking that little apparently useless button named "force counter attacks". After 9 minutes, we were A)Gaining pressure due to our module change, forcing them to foul us several times, and pitifully none of them being a goal from FK, and B) using his rage right against him having none less than 4 counters towards their keeper, with 3 going wide and the last one being the 2-0 thanks to the red arrowed MC Altun serving a good cross to the red arrowed Stark.

In the second half, we kept having the play in our hands, and THANKS to the ****ty platform it took 5 minutes to us to be informed of another setup change by the opponents. While we were shaping the butterfly, we had our usual let-down: like alwais, a shoot from 35 meters got in giving them an unearned 2-1. For the rest, the butterfly regained the lost possession and pressure, and disabling the counters gave us two more clean chanches, which were defused once by the keeper, and once by the post going out.

We are VERY proud of this result, even knowing that 99% won't be enough to grant us the Final. A 2-0 would have given us about 55% chanches, while atm we navigate around 30%. But we're proving to be effectively and ultimately the best team on our server, despite quality and all the other ****. Would of have been Tokened up in this season, i wonder where we'd have ended up.

How did the 3N-1-3W-1-2 do against it?

I believe a 4-1-1-2W-2 also works well against 4-3W-1-2, worked well for me and a friend.

Very well done... You see, a lot of people just buy tokens and personal train their players... And most of these people are clueless and just buy to win! You showed him! Hopefully you can continue to show him how it's done in the 2nd leg.

That is a great result with the quality for the oppo, well done, I hope you get the job done in the return!
