Season 44

[Morgan O'Bree]

Another absurd Engine show in another pointless away win by 0-3. Again, another injury, this time to Kent. That makes our 4 best players (69, 69, 68, 68) out for injury after Stark's.

In the meanwhile, we're having fun with our alt team, as this season we allowed them 80T as budget.

Champions League Group F Round 3

United Til I Die 1-2 Longobarda

United Til I Die 93.7 4-3N-2W-1 then Hexagon then 3N-2N-2W-3 - Longobarda 88.4 5-1-3N-1

We did not start too well and our opponents took the lead after 9 minutes and it was clear to see that they were on top but luckily we got ourselves back in the match a minute before half time when Johansen passed to Zouma who found the net. On the hour mark they took the lead again so I changed formation but they were still on top and we could not get the goal we needed.

Goals: Iniesta (9), Zouma (44), Nedved (57) MOTM: Iniesta

Team Talk: Didn't play well here and whatever formation I tried did not work, looks like we will struggle to qualify

Got an early ko tomoz for a change but a strange formation:

DC DC DC
DML DMC DMR
MC
AML AMR
STR

How to counter please?

Coach: "Lindemann did a really nice job in the League match. He was the man of the match. But I still can't believe that we have beaten John FC in the Champions League, John FC is a much stronger team. This shows that we are able to beat stronger teams!"

Marco Lindemann: "I was performing really good in the League match, I was in a good mood. Today was just my day. However I still have to work on my performance against stronger teams like John FC."

Champions League group stages, round 3

Kristal FC 1-7 Perfect Tactics

Kristal FC: 67.5, 4-1-4-1 | Perfect Tactics: 77.4, 3W-4-3 flat/3W-5-2 flat

Debut goals for Rendon and a cameo from Petersen seal a big win here against group contenders Kristal FC. Justin Sider put us 0-1 up through a Petersen Jr pass. But Kristal got a lucky goal when Rubio shot from long range and beat the goalkeeper for an unlikely equaliser. However we instantly hit back and from a penalty kick, Nascimento rifled in the shot for 1-2. It was 1-3 about 10 minutes later, Rendon was through on goal and finished superbly for his debut goal. Things were quiet in the 2nd half and we switched to a 3W-5-2 flat and brought Petersen on. He instantly made an impact with a goal and an assist within 5 minutes. His goal came from a long range strike and then setting up Rendon for his 2nd goal of the game. Sider got his 2nd from a counter attack and we were awarded yet another penalty a few minutes later, however Petersen fluffed his lines and missed. However, we did get a 7th through Zenzizenzike's long range strike.

Goals: Sider (29', 81'), Rubio (31'), Nascimento (33'), Rendon (43', 78'), Petersen (73'), Zenzizenzike (89')
MOTM: Sider

So this is how our "New Nascimento" is fairing.



Not the super fast trainer but still fast.. He does get about 30/60/90 and sometimes into the 100s with hard match practice.

2 goals in his first professional game, not bad at all. The future is bright with this one.

That is an odd one, very defensive. I'd be tempted to go all out attacking. He's watery in the centre - I might try something like 3 - 3[N] - 2[W] - 2 and used mixed concentrated passing.

League round 5

We had a productive day in the league. We played against a illegal formation. My new player Fraile scored twice. His first goal came from a free kick. He was also the man of the match with a score of a 9. Also compliments to my ST Chaliotis who's scored 6 goals in this match.





Champion league round 3

We have forgot the lose in the last round. Also my new player Fraile scored in this game again.

[Keith Gaule]

Nice,10-0, been a while since I got that

Our new MC is now also 6*
