Season 43

[Cat Harrison]

I have a flexible squad. I think I'm ready if he plays his V, but he lost to me last season with it, and so I am not sure if I even want to try countering, or play 3 1 4 2 which if i recall was what I did then.

Balkan United management confirmed 15 new signings this morning. Ljepoje (Jr) announced that the Club is heading into a new course and is aiming high as the League and CUP are heading into its final week. Ljepoje (Jr) stated that the Club have high expectations when it comes to the League and CUP tournaments this season, "We are on the right path to to fulfill the requirements and goals for this season. The team are playing and doing well, both in the League and CUP competitions. I believe our chances to win the League trophy are pretty high, the same goes for the CUP. We are without any doubt perhaps one of the strongest teams on this level, if not the best. We just need to concentrate on doing our job and hopefully it will all pay off in the end".

The players will be undergoing some hard training and valuating the following 5 days. The top 11 players will be kept while the others will be more or like transfer listed by Saturday and replaced by free agents. This is in order to sanitize the financial deficit (approx -9 M short!).

LEAGUE ROUND 15 - "THE CRUNCH" PREVIEW

Batigo United vs July Fourth

Batigo United 126.4 - July Fourth 131.7

This is the most important game of the season that we will have to play (until tonights CL 2nd leg against LMUc) For Batigo United... It's about keeping their hopes alive in the title race and for July Fourth it's about all but ending the title race today... In context of the title race a draw would not be a bad result for us, but we are looking to win this game to keep one of our best league winning streaks going that has run from the end of last season which currently stands at 21 (Club record is 30) and our record in the league is P14 W14, With Batigo remaining 6 points behind us and just about hanging on to us in the title race although we also have a superior GD which is always helpful should it come down to something like that. Batigo United as the regular forum members know are a full scout buyer that re-inforces his every season with new scouts and 4 of those players have reached 7*, July Fourth's power training has allowed their starting XI to be 8*. Batigo United are expected to play 4-4-2 as they always do, July Fourth may start 3N-4-1-2 or 4-5-1 V and may switch tactics anytime during the game.

League Round 15 - What a comeback!
AEPRE FC 3-1 SCTA FC (SCTA FC Home)

What a comeback from AEPRE FC aganist a very inferior team SCTA FC! Valentine Eyinga scores a goal in the 35' when the manager arrives late to the match. Then the manager starts to worry about Troll Mourinho and played Trololo song. Just after that, Fernando Torres breaks through to the goal and scores an equalizer in the 74'. Before Stacey Papaleo hits one in the 78', then Milan Betic in the 85'! That is very similar to when AEPRE FC beats Morrow FC 3-1 when they was on level 2, where the manager arrives late.

4-2-2-2 Hexagon is the unbeatable formation at these moments. My 35T team just got trolled in the CL by a Thai team 1-0. GK Man of the Match? That's definitely Troll Mourinho!

Anyway to beat this kind of troll formation?

Jack Goff has been sold

We have acquired a fast trainer who is 6 years younger than Jack Goff and could be our project for seasons to come. The new guy is 19 but gets 60/90/120 on hard training. He's almost nearing scout level and will be a long term replacement for Luke Warmwater who turns 24 next season.

We bought Jack Goff 3 seasons ago and was a solid defender for us. Bought from the scouts, he played mainly as a DC and on occasions as a DL. He had an unused corner speciality ability but nevertheless, he was still important for us. He scored important goals and kept out defenders, however due to lack of PTing, he quickly lost his place in the team and has only featured 3 times this season. He's been a great player for us and we hope he'll have a better time at his new club.

Stats:
Season 7: Appearances: 42 - Goals: 3 - Assists: 0
