Seventh Heaven Season Review
Seventh Heaven Season Summary (Game Season 49, My Season 27, My Level 27)
NOTE: This season we played under the name "Seventh Heaven" since it was our 2nd Anniversary this season and to celebrate the achievement of 7 trebles that the club has won.
League
Final Position 1st Played 26 Won 21 Drawn 4 Lost 1 GF 80 GA 19 GD +61 PTS 67
This season was one of the most intensive title races the club has endured, Effectively a 2 horse race from start to finish between ourselves and El Capo for the title, We are exchanging places throughout the season, We lost against OFI which ended our long unbeaten sequence that stood from the season before last season early on and handed an advantage to El Capo which we regained by beating El Capo at home, Then we slipped up against Chonburi unexpectedly and we had to wait until LaFruta beat El Capo to return the advantage back to us, Then we faced El Capo in the closing stages and drew 1-1 and we were able to win our 2 remaining fixtures to win the league by 3 points.
Champions League
Final Position Winner Played 13 Won 11 Drawn 2 Lost 0 GF 45 GA 8 GD +37
The CL campaign for us was a good one, We went through the group stage on 6-0-0 beating Thorlae, DEVIL MAY CRY and Hetman Zamosc, We then beat FC.KOYTALA 5-1 in the first leg before a 1-1 draw in the return at home to end any chances of a perfect champions league campaign, Then easily beat dani and overcame El Capo in the Semi-Finals with 2 good wins and eventually beat LaFruta on penalties in the final after a 2-2 draw.
Cup
Final Position Quarter-Finalist Played 10 Won 5 Drawn 3 Lost 2 GF 24 GA 9 GD +15
Our Cup camapign this season ended in some disappointment and we never really got going, We put away winconsin with an good win in the first leg before the 2nd leg was a draw, Then a tough tie against Ottomans followed and both games ended in draws and we progressed on away goals, then two 3-1 wins followed over Hetman Zamosc and easily disposed a thai team in the Last 16, Then we met our demise in the competition, El Capo played the better football in the Quarter-Final and eliminated us 3-1 on aggregate and they went onto beat LaFruta 4-0 in the final to become the new server champions.
Total Games in all 3 competitions: Played 49 Won 37 Drawn 9 Lost 3 GF 149 GA 36 GD +113
We were handed the toughest draws in any given season in our history, To win 2 out of 3 of the trophies as well as only just losing 3 games this season which 2 of them were against El Capo in the cup, I would say that this has been a very good season for us.

Performance Of The season
ОФН 1-5 Seventh Heaven (League Round 22)
With ОФН beating us 2-0 earlier in the season at Round 9 and us headlocked in a close title race with some difficult fixtures remaining, Petersen and Papaleo showed their masterclass to beat a very good ОФН side who were still looking for some points to finish in the top 4 in the league.
Disappointment of The Season
El Capo 1-0 Seventh Heaven & Seventh Heaven 1-2 El Capo (Cup, Quarter-Final)
We dipped in form around mid table and weren't winning games as well as we had been normally and El Capo had been playing well and used this window of form to beat us in the Quarter-Final of the cup in a tie we never really we got into over 2 legs.
Young Player Of The Season
I'm actually going to go ahead and give this award to perhaps an unsung hero this season, Sandy Beech our GK, I think he has settled in our team very well and has indeed took over from where his predecessor Knight left over, He was been consistent and made many good saves which has helped keep our goals conceded low.
Seventh Heaven Players Review and Player Of The Season
Once again, I'll keep it short, Once again our defence has been brilliant forming a good back 4 partnership between Harrison,Lamb,Hardy and Regal, Veteran Calavicci did well in games when he needed to come in on tactic/suspension changes, Fuad Martin played very well too and scored a hat-trick in one game, Midfield wise we created many goals with Watson and Petersen being important, Kusama and Papaleo still found the net on a regular basis as well as providing many assists.
3RD... ANGEL MIKU-ZIDANE
A big improvement from Miku-Zidane this season, Always been under the light for under performances in the past but this was the season we forgot about that and Miku-Zidane was brilliant in goalscoring from midfield scoring 16 times all from open play situations.
2ND... TWENTY REGAL
Our defence was as usual to ther high standards, but this season was Regal's finest so far the club and he made himself prominent by notching up 5 man of the match performances and making some important tackles and winning headers and scoring a few goals from corners that were very noticeable.
THE SEVENTH HEAVEN PLAYER OF THE SEASON IS...
Yossi Benayoun
Benayoun has become a very important player for us over the last 4 seasons and his performances have been very high throughout, He once again scored many goals this season and just lost out to Papaleo for club TGS this season, But he was also good defensively too as well as attacking, the only let down was getting sent off in the CL semi-final 2nd leg, but we can forgive him for that since we won the competition.
Off The Pitch Performance
We remained cash rich but had to spend over £200M on buying a young striker and sacking him because he was a young trainer, but none the less the club finances are more than healthy for us to afford to do that.
Seventh Heaven finished the season with a fan base of 9,139,729.
Board Meeting
There is still 800T available for us to use to buy and train players from last season, We however are dropping the large token investments like we have done in the past.
