The Boot Room (new managers zone)

[Wilderness]

So had a worried start to the season, I was silly enough to spend 10 tokens on upgrading my youth academy (liked the cosmetic look) and as a player that doesn't buy tokens, it will leave me to pick up players later on the season so I can avoid this intense time of bid wars.

On a more positive note, my V style demolished my opponent's 3-4-3 (likely a person who manages his team now and then) 6-1 at home. Apparently my keeper mistimed his clearance allowing them to slip in a goal but oh well. He was rank 5 to my rank 3, but his quality wasn't awfully lot higher than mine. (Had some key purchases and luck with starting squad seeming to be decent back in season 1 and 2 for me)

Moving onto the away leg tomorrow will be keen to see if he pitches up and tries to turn my 5 goal difference in aggregate or just abandon it for this season.

Hope you guys kicked off your Cup with great performances as well.

Regards

This sucks! i got trolled 3-nil away
Started with 3-2-2-2-1 Butterfly vs his 4-4-2, then switched to 3-4-1-2 when 1 goal down then lost 2 goals.
We were evenly matched team-wise, but his squad is 3* while mine is 2. His 1st 11 were all 3*, mine were a mix of 4, 3 and 2*.

So now, I'm knocked out of the Cup already on the 1st round. Top 2 players' morale deteriorated to Poor and my Keeper's morale also down to Poor after playing a friendly match.

Has anyone every had only 1 keeper in the squad for a period of time? My other keeper retired but I'm waiting to see what I get from the U21 in 5 days time

Guess it is ain a 4-4-2 domination season. Nothing works against it from 4-5-1V to 4-2-2-2 hexagon!!! Leave alone ND it stopped working long ago. Even I lost to it and am out of cup!!!!
