It was then long time, I made a few changes, came back to square one and at 80th min, they scored again!!!! I only needed to equalise and wud have advanced on away goals but even that was too much for me to ask. Match ends and I lose.
And our Q was almost same, he was .8 behind. But the reason for my defeat 4-4-2. He was using it. I tried 4-5-1V and Hexagon but nothing works against that crap. I hate that in a football manager simulation game, there is one formation which is so dominating that it is difficult to win against it...... Well, I won't waste my time venting no more as I don't want to take trouble IRL for this stupid game.
And ya, I had win bonus set to 600K and yet no win lols
Looks like you got trolled like me.
At least for me its only my 3rd season so I could use the less cluttered fixtures to recover
There is just 50 mins b/w my league match and CL match tonight. So will have to apply greens.
I will get 5% CND naturally just after the match so I will have to apply 1 green each to take them on to 95%.
Even I will concentrate on my highly competitive league and also CL. I have a lot of cash this season and don't need much of it so the cash from the Cup is not much problem. But I wanted to hang up and be in the run for the Cup for a while. It is almost sure for me to be on the next round of CL as my group is very weak.Quote:

Does losing and/or not bringing in new players cause players' morale to plummet?
I've got another 3 player drop to Poor.
Also got dragged into the Transfer market because my inside right DC are either injured or 1-2*
Speculated 1T on this guy before I went to sleep and got him

Also keeping an eye on this youngster, hopefully his price deters everyone from bidding on him

What do you guys think about him?
The last one he is not a fast trainer, to be it His price should be near 5M.Quote:

Anyway, 2 ppl bidded for him at 2mins so that put me off already
Sorry to hear about you getting knocked out Saransh. I would agree though if you don't have good wingers (AML/AMR) your 4-5-1 is going to struggle. My last season using this formation in almost every game my wingers were what killed the game or lifted my slightly over my opponents. Eg In my opening cup came vs 3-4-3, my AML (28 quality 4 stars corner specialist) provided 4 assists and scored a goal himself, I then subbed a 1star quality AMR in for my other AMR (This 14 overall 1 star AMR never fails to amaze me 3 games as a sub and he has 3 goals, its like his quality is irrelevant when I use him as a sub) came in and added 1 more to the tally of the wings. Though my ST scored 3 (2 headers and 1 solo run)
From that above information I feel that the lifeblood of this formation is the DMC and the 2 wings.
An update on my progress, the 2nd leg of the cup game I fielded a weaker side taking July Fourth's advice of if you in the clear on a leg do not risk injury. The opponent however did not pitch up which made me sad since I wanted to fight it out and the pressure on me would have not been to great so I could of seen if mixing with certain things while live would have made a big impact. My MC scored a goal from the 1st move of the game driving in 1 from 25 metres. Then my weaker defence let 2 goals slip (Rested my 2 main DC and main GK). At half time I decided to bolster my defence and brought in my main DC and my super sub (as mentioned above the 1 star 14 quality AMR). 15 minutes later they made an impact with my super sub scoring from a cross and my main DC netting a free kick. My AML adding a solo effort to bring the match to a 4-2 to me and a aggregate of 10-3 over all.
Since then I have been carefully monitoring the transfer market and picked up a DMC and a MC to bolster my main squad. Using the old 1's as subs for the main team.
League wise I started off with a 2-0 away win to a team that was slightly weaker. He was playing a 4-1-3-1-1 against my V style but I had most of the possession since he was not there and the score line should have been slightly more in my favour, but alas my finishing was poor. On this instance my ST netted in the 1st 9 minutes then in the 2nd half provided an assist to my super sub who netted a header.
Champions league later against a team that was in my last league, will be keen to see whether he will step it up and pose a threat or if the story will continue like last season where my team walked over his.
Wish you guys and girls the best of luck with your leagues as well.
Regards
Wilderness
I get the worst result in Cup in this season!First match i Lost 4-0 i have better team but i dont know what happened!so i need 5goals to win!

Hi everyone.
Love reading and following this thread.
I am new on this forum and can be consider newbies too since in the game I am in Level 7. Before the season ends I have a tedency to add other managers that are promoted from different leagues of the same level because I rather play against an active team than Bot or unactive teams (no challenge).
Good luck guys for the coming season!! :)
Here is the current league I'm in with 10 Top Eleven friends.
Attachment 15419
Good to have you with us :) I am much newer so hoping you part some of the knowledge you have picked up my way :P
Champ league 1st game 2-1 to me at home, again was not a great game my squad missing a lot of opportunities. I went 2-0 up scoring on either side of the 45 min mark, but in the 80th minute they clawed 1 back via a free kick.
Good luck with your Cup games today/tonight

Hi Mo,
I'm here again. This is a brilliant forum, Was a newby last season and I managed to win the league by 16 points and win the cup easily all with advice from this forum.
This is my team for this season.
Attachment 15425
Want to be in top 4 of the league and have a good cup run.
Done a lot of ad watching to get loads of coins to get a better side
Nice teamQuote:

Sad to tell u MO does not come onto the forums any more and dunno when he will start coming here regularly again.:(Quote:

Zangy - I do all the free coin AD's, signup's, video's, app downloads and survey's and then the coins I convert into money and keeping some coins for player transfers etc... It takes a lot of time but it's worth it as I'm not paying out of my own pocket. All the freeby stuff does work but like I say it takes it's time. I try to average getting 20-30 coins a day via this method.
hope this helps.
P.S. 25 coins gets you 3M on level 3 ;-)
Tim
Do you convert coin into cash via bank?
Try buying free trf players and then sell them on for cash. Much better return and you improve your bidding skills
It is "She". And maybe she will be back one day. Time will go, wounds will heal. She did come here 2 days ago to post her league final table and tell she won, and then did not come again yet.Quote:

DiZZee, are free Trfs much better than just buying an Investment? If so, what Q & value should I be looking for? I read that they are only worth doing from L4 onwards
Yet another match I missed the time limit to change my team line-up :mad:
This time completely my fault, won again (2-0) but my CND of my players are all lopsided again :-/
wow OK a brilliant start to this season 2nd in the league with 3 wins out of 3 1st in CL 2 wins out of 2 but a bad injury to my DL player means I struggle with a dmr holding his place lol ( dont ask) 7 day injury so got to watch a lot of video's
OOps sorry HI all especially Saransh, Tim and Zangy love to see how your all doing !!!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome hun x do you have CL game today as well ????Quote:

So I throw on 3 subs just after HT and lose another ST to injury. 3/4 STs injured already this season, 1 just recovered now another replaces him in the treatment room. Must be the new hot nurse I've hired lol
Anyways, my star player somehow misses the pen, instead THEY score a goal. Luckily one of my subs equalised on 90'
Your AMc sounds like a really bad keeper hun !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! why was he in goal ??????? lolQuote:

Nah, I was sorting my squad by CND and putting players into Subs&Reserves/1st team by condition so I can group train them.
Was supposed to change the team last minute in case my opponent adjusts to my 1st team, I think I'm just going to set my team from now on and let them see it
I just lost another ST, got tripped up during a friendly and torn his ACL, i dunno how does that happen lol
And all these injuries since upgrading my pitch
4 injuries in total and only 4 fit players on the bench
WTF is it with you and missing games??Quote:

You have to watch bidder activity. Just don't overdo it, unless you have T to burn
Yeah I know, such poor time keeping.Quote:

Today, I playing playing a tournament of another game on fullscreen so didnt see the alarm
Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for free trfs, I think I missed out on a 1M DC last season bidded too late and no one else bidded also! :eek:
Oh quick question, does that 30T (Lvl3wins bonus) Sponsor deal lock you in for the whole season?
And is says Get 1T when you level up, Does that mean get promoted? Or when a player gets a new star?
DO NOT USE THAT TV RIGHTS CONTRACT!!!Quote:

I should put this on How to Spot a Noob thread
This guy just outbidded himself at least twice lol
https://scontent-b-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/...63210421_n.jpg
If the player wasn't so old I would have tried to snipe him to bring him to tears :D
Thanks July 4th, so I assume it DOES lock me in for a whole season
Hey MO thanks for the greeting, I had a CL game last night but was studying for an exam so yea ^^
So lets go over my last 2 days so I can update you guys on my progress ^^
Wednesdays game I had my Cup 1st which didn't play particularly well, I scored 1 goal via my wings in free play, my other 2 coming from direct freekicks. So felt lucky to end up with a 3-0 win over my Cup opponent.
I then proceeded to the league where my team played on of the weakest teams and annihilated them 10-1, with my 1 wing scoring 5 goals in the game.
My team yesterday faced a 4-4-2 in the league away from home and even though my formation I generally play (v-style 4-5-1) is considered a counter he seemed to be creating more opportunities than me I grinded out a 2-2 (this is with him having 1 of his strikers sent off with a red for handball and spitting, nasty habit spitting on people :) )
My CL game ended my unbeaten run of 14 wins in the CL league (Last season won every game in my 1st CL league) I was playing against a 3-2w-2n-1-2 in a cone shape. I started with my 4-5-1 V and felt that it was getting countered to easily with his cone formation. he scored 1 goal in round the 20th min. I then switched out my DMC and brought on a ML and a ST to make a 4-4-2 formation with mixed passing I went 1-1 all up from a shot from my MC then in the last 10minutes my keeper saved a freekick for them to get a corner and convert it, losing 2-1 and likely my 1st loss in in around 30 games >.<
Lets hope I can push through this slump though. Worried about my lack of bite on attack its like my Front line isn't showing any teeth
Hope you guys faired better than me

Yesterday match results:
League match against a team 7Q bell me ended 6-0 in my favour.
Cazorla scored 2. Elsik scored 2. Mattis scored one and Arrieta scored one.
This took me to top of the table, 2 GD clear of 2nd and 2 points above 3rd and 4th.
MoM Elsik
CL Match-
This one was after the league match within an hour. Since I had been studying, I didn't watch either of them and my players went with low CND.
The drew the match 1-1 with my new MC Balezdrov scoring. H probably scored from a free kick as he is the one taking those. Or it may have been a counter attack or solo run(he is a dribbler). Anyways this still keeps us on top o the CL group, 1 points clear of 2nd and 3rd.

I didnt heed this advice, got sucked into a massive bidding war, I said to myself, hmmm do I want to take this past 2T, then just carried on and on and dumped a load of T (too embarrassed to say how much lol) for him and he's only a 3* ST just a few pts from 4* at least and this is him after one intense practice match! :OQuote:

Lets hope this isnt a one off and he turns out to be a training monster... but STILL a waste of T though.
A very expensive lesson I guess... I also saw this same guy bidding for another free trf... should have bidded once to scare him off lol
That went to Rnd 5, but he pulled out after just Rnd2... probably burned out all his T on my ST :D kekeke
Wow Wilderness, Red Card for spitting! :O never would have imagined they included that.
Good strat. my need to employ this if i see a player i REALLY like... dropping 3T to win him from the start is better than burning the amount I did in my bidding warQuote:

https://scontent-a-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/...71040860_n.jpg
Is this a 1T buy with no other bidders?
I might snap the next one up if it is
Also sold my main ST from my 1st season, contract expiring, but he's already only 2*, hope it doesnt come back to bite me
But needed to make room after stupidly buying that ST a day before my U21s arrive
That seems more that the clock froze, sometimes that happens, and you need to refresh the page.
