Season 43

any idea how to beat this ...thinking to use 4-4-2ND

I'd give Butterfly a try, just to be on the safe side. Or else, something with a lot of fire power to capitalize on the 80% possession.

Perhaps a Butterfly to be changed into a 3N 2N 2W 3 in case i take too long to score.

illegal, don't care about it

Sorry, but what is illegal about this formation?

BALKAN UNITED - MATCH REPORT

LEAGUE:

- Today we faced the Slovenian team "Tim FC" which me managed to beat by 1-3. We started of quite good with the 3W-3W-2N-2 formation, scored 2 goals and held mostly of the possesion. But as I switched to the 3W-3W2 formation, we started to lose possesion and the hometeam managed reduce to 1-2. But thankfully T.Botsev scored a 3rd goal and the game was more or less over for the Slovenians.

Tomorrow we will play the Malaysian team "Clavin FC" with a kickoff at 20.00CET. I'm not expecting any difficulties here, since it's abandoned and perhaps one of the weakest team in the league competition.

CUP:

- We managed to collect a comfortable win against the Romanian "IQB FC" in the CUP play-offs. Our ultra-offensive 3W-3W-2N-2 formation paid off and I was more then delighted as the game came to an end. The win means that Balkan Utd will be playing in the CUP final-eights and our chances by winning the tournament are more then good (in comparison to the competition). Hopefully we can make it all the way!


TEAM NEWS

- We managed to sign another 2 players this morning. The 19yr old ST "Hector Revert" and the 27yr old AMC "Biagio Pennacchioni". Both took part in the CUP + League game and both scored as well, which is more then "OK" !

Also, our 28yr old DC "Vincent Comert", the 27yr old DL/DC "Luis Vitoria" and the 27th yr old DR/DC "Alexey Gusalov" reached scout lvl and are therefore officially 6* players!

4-4-2 classic but it's a risky business or there always is the option of playing someone OOP for a game.

Thanks July I was thinking OOP, I have a 3 goal buffer, what do you think of 3-5-2?

ROYAL RUMBLE CUP - Playoffs, 2ND LEG

United Til I Die 4-1 Mineral Kuzluk

United Til I Die 90.2 3N-5-2 - Mineral Kozluk 88.1 4-1-2-1-2ND

A positive start from the home side but I was always wary as with Summers suspension gave me no DMC to cover their dangerous AMC, but Velazquez scored early to kill the tie off and a minute later Da Cunha added a second from a free kick, so for the second half I just freshened up a few things, Velazquez added a third and Da Cunha got a fourth and we were dominating, then in the last ten minutes we got done with the old double corner routine and Regalado got one back for them.

Goals: Velazquez (26,57), Da Cunha (27,69), Regalado (83) MOTM: Da Cunha

Team Talk: A great performance this was and we smashed them and the back up lads who came in deserve respect as does the manager for covering Summers suspension by flooding the midfield which worked a treat, so we progress 8-2 on Agg, the only down side in the injury to Kurasako

FC Kneipenkick update:

FC Kneipenkick 5-2 Sakaryaspor
FCK could also win its 3rd match (first 2 in CL) within 4 days against Sakaryaspor, a semi-active side (manager goes online each and every day, but does not change his team formation). Today Diaz-Rahi (9.) and Wagner (27.) brought FCK 2-0 in front, Margairaz closed the margin (35.), but Garcia (45.) made it 3-1 right before the break. In the second half Ugor (46.) surprised FCK, but Upton (56.) and Lafata (73.), who came in for injured Dabrinova made it a confortable 5-2. With the result FCK is now first with Deportivo GS, both with 24 points and 28-5 goals.

At auctions I lost today 10 tokens without being able to grab a player. The transfer market sadly is too crowded with big spenders this season.

Next round in the cup! Pretty much only big token spenders left. Should be a right hoot!
