Anyta FC plays with DML and DMR meaning it would be hard for Petersen to make his magic on the right wing however I am risking playing him as striker tonight but it has worked in the past. We are playing 4-4-2 to counter her 3-2-3-2 but may switch to a 4-2-3-1 if things don't go our way, playing Petersen in AMC.

Anyta FC is going into this game fighting for 1st place in her league while Perfect Tactics have already secured first place.

The manager is an active user who watches all her matches however she doesn't have a big squad so a change of formation during the match is unlikely.

It will be a tough match for us, probably the hardest all season. We haven't run into any challenges yet but this is the one. We are favourites to win but anything can happen in this game and we must be focused throughout if we are going to walk away with the trophy.

Anyta FC was runners up last season and Perfect Tactics were winners... Could it happen again or could the reverse occur?.



Petersen was interviewed a few hours ago and said: "This game will not be easy for us, we are the stronger team but anything can happen in football. We must play very well to win today."

Castellani was also interviewed and said: "Our opponent is a good team and it will be difficult for a result, however an upset is always possible and we will try hard to win."

Last season, Petersen was stretchered off with a bad injury in the Champions League finals. The match finished 3-1 to us but it was a blow to the captain who couldn't lift the trophy in front of the fans.


Match odds (just for fun):
To win in 90 minutes: Anyta FC 6/1, draw 7/2, Perfect Tactics 1/3
To lift the trophy: Anyta FC 4/1, Perfect Tactics 1/5

i bet on 3 of your players to score : Petersen, Ghidia or maybe Yedec. I also predict that no more than 3 goals will be scored so possible score is 2-1 or 3-0, both wins for you, gl my friend

Bet 10 tokens for hattrick by Chano Petersen.

bet 5 tokens for under 7 corners.

Anyta FC still not arrived yet as she still has to play her league game.

In the meantime, you guys can predict first goalscorer, correct score etc.. For a bit of fun, no reward, just get to boast your prediction skills

Her team is finally on the plane to Italy. She drew 2-2 in her league game, leaving her in 2nd place. She drew to a team that played 4-1-2-1-2 narrow diamond... Hmmm, may be an idea if things don't go too well for me.

[Tornado88]

I'm gonna go for Petersen first scorer and a Perfect Tactics win 3-1!

[July Fourth]

You should be 1/4 to win in 90 mins

Anyta FC make one change from the last match.

Okan Yilmaz replacing the less experienced Ovidiu Nistor
