Season 36

[Telfix]

This is something what I didn't test, I'm not sure if it's illegal to play with 2 defenders if you have a dmc/dmr or dml too in your team.

Had 20% possesion with it so I guess it is.

I found a new formation that will help me stay in the same level one more season...
DL---DR
DML-DMR
ML--MR
AML-AMR
ST__ST

I even got a draw with that formation and my players are not loosing a lot of moral.

lol, whats the thinking here?

Well if that"s the case than nordeus can go f*** them selves 'cose i'm not gonna buy anymore tokens and if this keeps up we are gonna have a lot of frustrated players lol

They don't care too much of what you think - the moderators might - you might get banned, but that's about all is going to happen with your comment. There are too many players hooked on this game that pay much more than you and me together... so, unless all of them stop buying is useless...
Good luck

lol, whats the thinking here?

It was really a hard day for the VfR Aalen today. First attempt was L2 fight in Cup to qualify for the 3rd round. Second time against a 4 level higher defensiv wall, but now away. Leg 1 ended 0:0, so all open for now. Only the best players were in the lineup, which was only changed in 2 Positions. DML Positions was now taken from Marco Haller, Striker for kick off was settled by Cidimar.
Goal was to keep the draw until the end and be prepared for the penalty shoot out. So the plan was to let play Cidimar an get Reichwein at the end and for the penalties (SA).

I was really surprised, not 2 Minutes played, Haller passed the ball directly to Cidimar, who only had to stretch his foot a little to score for Aalen.

What a great and important goal. So the defensive tactics and counter attacks seemed to be the right strategy and there it goes. Hofmann received a yellow card for a unnecessary foul, DEADEDEZA utd Player got injured and right before end we substituted Reichwein (SA: Penalty kick specialist) in for Cidimar. The last 5 Minutes went down and we are qualified for 3rd round of the Cup. Our special thanks goes out to Accyrover for his advice, how to counter this defensive rock.

But just at the end of the match, it was time to get off home for our second match today. We expected the runner up of the league to clarify, who takes the lead. The whole team got freshened up en route, lineup was planned and right at 11pm the ball rolled again.

We won 5:0 with the following results:

Cards: Tim Kister (8',Y)
Injuries: Selim Aydemir (19')
Subs: Cidimar for Aydemir (26') (Switched from 4-4-1-1 to 4-4-2 classic), Dausch for Klauß (58'), Calamita for Reichwein (58')
Goals: Lechleiter (27', 30'), Klauß (40'), Hofmann (70'), Buballa (80')
Assists: Leandro (40'), Calamita (70'), Lechleiter (80')

After all it was a good Day. Qualified for 3rd round in Cup and got back to the lead of the league. At the and of the second match I sent the Team to bed to be ready for another hard Day tomorrow, beating both runner ups in league and CL.

Results for now:

Matches played: 10
Goals scored: 47
Goals received: 0
Position League: 1
Postion CL-Group: 1
Cup qualified: R3

Scorers:

Goals: Lechleiter (9), Hofmann (5), Leandro (5), Cidimar (4), Klauß (4), Reichwein (3), Calamita (3), Haller (3), Aydemir (2), Barth (2), Traut (1), Buballa (1), Valentini (1), Hübner (1), Mössmer (1)
Assists: Reichwein (5), Lechleiter (4), Aydemir (4), Leandro (4), Calamita (2), Haller (2), Cidimar (1), Valentini (1), Barth (1)
MotM: Lechleiter (3), Cidimar (1), Hofmann (1), Traut (1), Calamita (1), Barth (1), Leandro (1)

All in all a good start in Season2 with a great perspective.

Drawn against level 12 opposition in the cup... Looks like my cup run is over... Can only hope for a miracle

I was hoping for a lower level tie because there's still quite a few left but I guess I wasn't lucky this time

Edit: Just checked all the ties and all the small teams were drawn against the big teams... Drawing is seeded then, not random as I initially thought

Tough day for the Rangers. I'd been rolling over my league opponents with three straight three-nil results, leading the tables in Champions league with 6-0 and 7-0 results, and after three Cup matches, my brother's team was the only one to score against me all season (but his two home goals were far too little as i dispatched him 3-0, 4-2).
Today I had an early league match against my nemesis from last season - Tarek FC. They'd actually led most of the season before I overtook him and then pulled away in the final week and they'd settled for number two. With the second leg of Cup qualifying (up 2-0 in the away leg) in the afternoon, i started my reserves in the league game.

He plays an unbalanced 4-4-2 diamond with a MC close in on the left and a MR wide on the right and his strikers finished 1-2 in goals scored last season. Still, i had him outmatched and was (over)confident with my success. I played a 3-5-2V variation with the right winger pulled back and the strikers stacked. After 5 games in 26 hours, my players were a bit jetlagged, but still 90-95%, but they came out flat, shots that should have scored, didn't and Tarek's swift counterattacks had us backpedaling again and again. i switched to short passing and shifted a player into the middle hoping to improve possession and things seemed to be swinging our way when their striker scored off a corner in the 27th minute. I sent in one of my heavy hitters, sending ST Eden Edri (34.4) in for Pasukmueng (30.5). Their DMC went down with an injury and they played a man down for 7 minutes, but at halftime we still trailed by a goal. The second half we fared no better, and with 15 to go I subbed in two of my stars, AML Valentin Zelazhko and DM Huynh Thanh Long Giang. To no avail, as they scored a counterattack goal in the 89th minute and we left our home pitch stunned by the 2-0 loss.

In the Cup match we faced ubrekaleg ufall for the third time in as many days ( Cup, league, Cup). With all the starters in, we dominated the match statistically but still only held a 2-0 (4-0) lead going into the final minutes before giving up a closing goal and the clean sheet.

Overall a disappointing day, but we still lead the league, and advance to the playoff round of the Cup where we'll face our first major challenge in SV Eckerncamp (35.7 with a 3-1-3-1-2 -vs- our 31.6)

Tomorrow we have a league game against another nemesis from last season that simply collapsed and barely advanced. They're playing a most unusual 0-0-2-5-3 formation so we expect utter domination and at least a hat trick from Edrin. In the afternoon we face our most talented competitor in our champions league group playing what I'd describe as a '3' formation (it looks like the number 3) an unbalanced 3-1-3-1-2. Unusual, but really just a 4-4-2 with the right side pushed forward. With 3 hours between matches, i expect everyone to be well rested and the team to get back on track tomorrow while i develop the plan and lineup for that looming cup match on Sunday.
