After being in Russia for a couple of days I am finally back and would like to post some updates on my teams. So far the new season started quite satisfying, although a major upset happened to Sakura.
FC Dreamhunter
The league is - honestly - a bit boring. After 8 rounds the team is already 8 points ahead and I don't see anyone who might be a challenger for the title. On the other hand this is not too bad as I play the league with my "1B"-Team. So usually all my players (if there are no injuries) have one game per day and this works out just perfectly.
The CL is so far quite easy too - four wins in four matches and a goaldifference of 24+ !
The real interesting matches have been in the Cup where we reached the round of the last 16 with six wins against opponents which were actually better in quality. So we still hope for the Treble...
FC Sakura
Again an easy league and already eight points ahead. Also the CL brought four victories so far with 19:0 goals. A major upset brought the second round in the cup. After a 1:1 away the team lead at home 2:1 until the 82nd minute before our opponent was given a penalty and scored the 2:2. So we are out
Berkshire Utd
This team also has a 8-0-0 record, but the second placed team is only 3 points behind us (but then again they haven't met us yet and still have a loss). The CL started well with a 3-1-0 record. We are already qualified for the next round, but of course would like to win the group. In two days we will meet the other unbeaten team (against we had a 0-0 draw away).
It was really difficult to reach the last 16 in the Cup. All teams have a higher Quality than ours and especially in the second round it looked like we might fail. The first game we won away 2-0, so I thought the second leg will be quite easy, but... 0-2 after 10 minutes, 0-3 after 50 minutes... I changed the formations and played then with 3 strikers plus AMR-AMC-AML and we managed to score three goals in the next 30 minutes so that we advanced.
All teams bought some good additions on the transfer-market which fit into the teams. The only downturn is the midfielder for Dreamhunter who was my most expensive player so far. So far he averages 5,5 and is always a candidate for yellow cards. His name is Dilling-Kjaer (Denmark), but it seems that he acts on the field like a Killing Bear !!!
