Season 46 (20.10.13/16.11.13)

[July Fourth]

League Round 7 - Taking Control Part 3

GALATASARAY SK 0-8 July Fourth

GALATASARAY SK 136.3 4-4-2 Classic - July Fourth 148.4 asymmetric 3-4-2N-1 (weaker team)

You gotta love the "non-logic" of this game sometimes, I leave my team in a formation that's asymmetric and many of the subs/reserves played here except Petersen and Miku who basically tore our opponents apart, Miku took the lead for us on 2 minutes, before Senna was injured and not replaced so we played on with 10 men lol... Hogan and Beckett made it 3-0 before HT and Hogan got a brace for a defender which was very unexpected just after the restart, Pietropaolo then made it 5-0, Then Miku scored for us again before Petersen put away a penalty and also helped out setting up Miku to complete a hat-trick.

Goals: Miku (2,76,83 HAT) Hogan (25,47) Beckett (40) Pietropaolo (68) Petersen (79 PEN) MOTM: Pietropaolo.

Team Talk: I don't know what happened here except that we still blew our opponents away despite not playing our strongest team, nice hat-trick too from Miku.

Back to normal today in the league (grumble, grumble, mutter, mutter)

[spornybol]

well i`m heading for fun with two games in 15 minutes which means i`l have 2 minutes to change squad round, first up is champions league against 2nd this is where i can use reserves as i`m 5pts clear so a lose won`t be so bad then the quick change over changing 8 player`s and adding rest on 3 players fortunately i won`t have too change formation so touching wood i should just about do it.

edit; before anyone say you can change game time, i can`t as both are away so thank you NORDEUS for the stitch up

well as expected with two away games in 15 minutes i lost champions game 3-1 with reserves but that`s fine and i only just managed to change team around for the league game which i won 2-0 and my star striker Martins getting the double after the hat-trick yesterday but little disappointed that he didn`t get get his second hat-trick in two days

9th Triple role player at FCB ... I am not sure which SA is better for him ...he is either foot so I am thinking about Corner kick or free kick but Defensive wall also good as he can block long range shots ... I am so confused here ... please suggest ...

League Day 7: FC Kneipenkick (72.2, 3W-4-3) 2-1 Hertha Union (63.4, 4-1-4-1)
My team keeps having problems to play out its full potential in the league. Well, I know FCK wins the matches and the players get ok marks (7-9), but the results are way too close considering the standard of the teams and the formations. 3W-4-3 is a counter for the other system, but the goals were only scored by standard situations and individual class that shined through in some scenes. Goals by Monroe and Didonato btw.

I start to doubt the existing of general counter systems. Last CL season at my CL semis I fielded at home 3-5V-2 vs. 4-1-2N-1-2 and lost 0-3 despite having 3 points more quality. In the returning leg I was pissed, did not watch, left the formation untouched at 3-5V-2 vs. 4-1-2N-1-2 and the result was a 2-0 away win. So finally I got angry on myself that I did not watch the match in order to get more possesion (but maybe it would not have worked, because with 3-5V-2 you normally hit 4-1-2N-1-2 on counters).

My current theory (based on observation, all unproved) is that counter formations differ between home and away matches and are additionally based on quality.

P.S.:
About the transfers at my current level (10). 18 years old that costs more than 35 million € (at 68/69 quality) are the fastest trainers. In average they receive 40/80/120 when power-trained hard.

If you already have a free kick or corner taker then defensive wall. Though defensive wall on an MC might not be too useful... Dribbler could mix it up quite well too

Champions League, Group G, Round 4

Real Blanco 2-1 United Til I Die

Real Blanco 100.3 4-3N-3 - United Til I Die 102.3 Hexagon then 3N-1-1-2W-2

On 8 minutes Herrera trips the attacker and then spits at another player and is sent off and they score from the resulting free kick and as my other 2 MC's are injured and suspended all I can do is bring on a DMC for Karg, then things get worse when Subotic trips the attacker in the box and they convert the penalty, so into the second half and on 56 minutes Sanchez give us hope with a thunderbolt but try as we might we cannot equalize.
