The game engine is churning out a lot of bad results lately. Scout buyers been getting it rough, I think your the only one that seems to have survived the great scout buyer game engine troll of season 37.

The annual mid season slump hit Massie Lodge this morning. Playing at home against a Dutch opponent running 7th in the League the lads were held to a 1-1 draw. The long trip from Sassenheim had no affect on the opposition who played the narrow diamond against our 451V. The manager being absent must have had an adverse affect. The result still leaves us 8pts clear with a couple of lower table games coming up in the next 2 days.
The lads made amends in the CL first leg 1/4 final. Hosting an Albanian outfit who played 3W-5-2, we started playing the V formation with little affect & were level at 1-1 at half time. The manager who decided to turn up to this clash changed the formation at half time to 4-1-3N-1-1 which certainly had the right affect with 2 unanswered strikes in the second half giving Massie Lodge a 3-1 advantage going into the second away leg.
Tough time of the year, still in all 3 competitions & there are no easy games in any of them.

OK.... CL bracket at day's end.... only one, sorta surprise in the 1-1 draw in the bottom half of the bracket...

Here is my version...

Big match against 2nd place tomorrow. A bit worried about that one, only beat him 2-0 at home and despite being better than him, he has had some good results this season. Can't afford to lose my unbeaten record.. He plays a 3N-2W-2N-1-2 so the butterfly and 4-5-1 V is out of the question. Instead, I'll play 3W-1-3W-2(AMC)-1 with Petersen and Cazorla playing behind Suarez. A win will almost guarantee the title and a loss will be a bit of a piss take and squeeky bum time as we still have to play 3rd and 4th place away... But we all know how the game engine behaves!!
Tomorrow is a bit of a boring day for T11, with it being day 20 of a season, meaning every manager has only got 1 league game as the cup takes a break between quarter-finals and the semi-finals, not sure what exactly the plan is for our team, 18 points ahead in the league, we could have this wrapped up with 6 games left of the season.
We had a good day today. Pepp was on fire with a total of 9 goals, 4 assists and 2 MOM awards.
It's been crazy.
CL we won 6 - 0 but lost a player to injury. He was just subbed in when they decided to take him on hard. The offender got send of with his second yellow of the match.
League we won 0 - 11 in second half we lost a MC to injury. (Bad day on injuries) But the fans got a show for their money.
Tommorrow players will get some well deserved rest for the first time this season.
Game is at 1-13pm so spend some time downloading old movies and reading books. only 1 game today since got defeated in cup. not fair since he was +20 stronger than me(expected that something will happen and we will be equal in that game).
is anyone celebrating birthday today?? I need some sugar :)
I'm so pissed. Fu*kin' Nordeus omfg. Every damn game at least 1 injury. League CL AND/or Cup. Over 15 injuries in 10 Games in a row. Injury streak JUST WON'T STOP FFS
Edit: The 1 out of 2 injuries today is freakin' 18 Days wtf

Vertrag läuft aus means Contract is running out. Ignore them
"Name" setzt das Training fort means "Name" continues with the training (Came back from the Injury (I healed them with red packs))
"Name" hat sich verletzt means "Name" has been injured.
I just checked teams for cup semi-finals, level 16,17,18,18... I will need to play at least around 1 year to have a chance......
I barely train them and if i do it's streching in normal because of 2 games every day. Those injuries are from League, CL and Cup Games
well i`m level 6 and this has been my toughest season so far, at the moment I`m in the semi of the cup and one foot into the semi`s of the champions league after a 2-1 home win lets hope i can hold on to that in the second leg.
in the league i am 6th and 6pts of 3rd so the advantage is in my court now as the first 4 games of the second half of the season i had played 4 of the top 5 and they have all got to play each other so there`s bound to be a few point`s dropped between them, i just need to to win against the weaker teams to keep the pressure on and try and aim for top 4 finish, got no chance off winning league so my goals are set for a min of 3rd and win one of the two cups with luck :)
Hmm I am bored with this player that keeps sending me friendship requests.
He is in CL with me and I will have to play him in a few days. Maybe I should keep it pending till then. Accept play friendlies against him and break some legs.
I never respond to friend requests of players on the same league/cl as me normally, I've had about 10 requests i have actually accepted and to be fair they have been good friends (no random friendlies) but they play in different levels to me, but same server, I've actually watched and supported on a few of their games but they never are challenging to win trophies, just top 4 to mid-table teams.
Too many injuries for me this season, i spent all of my med packs and still not enough. I don't know what to do, i might miss CL this season 'cose the competition is tough and i have too many injured players so u guess i can't keep up. I understand that these injuries are random but damn..i had over 6 players injured in the past 4 games and now 2 are left. Don't have any med packs left and idk what to do...
lost my CL match yesterday :(
I thought today would be a good training day... or maybe a day to find a friendly.... but my 3 injuries yesterday changed my mind.... LOL
Rest well boys, rest well!
Our league game was at 0411..... no way I was getting up for that.... uneventful 0-2 win for the good guys... :)
League, round 18 - Zamo FC 0-4 Perfect Tactics
We go 12 points clear at the top of the league having beaten the team in 2nd place.
It was a close game at the start, Zamo FC having more of the chances in the early stages of the game. Balbuena gave away a free kick, Farhang's shot was heading in but Begovic saved it well. Balbuena turned from villain to hero when he struck to give us the lead on 29 minutes. It was still close in the 2nd half, Zamo FC almost equalised but Puangchan's missed right in front of goal. Two quick goals killed off the match and Zamo FC paid for their missed chances, first Suarez from a corner and then Fabregas from another corner. Petersen extended our lead to 4 goals from a free kick, the score not reflecting Zamo FC's effort in the match but we take the 3 points in style.
Goals: Balbuena (29'), Suarez (54'), Fabregas (57'), Petersen (74')
MOTM: Petersen
I can also confirm that the 3W-1-3W-2N-1 can beat the 3N-2(DML/DMR)-2-1-2.
Big match and also big bogus day in FC Kneipenkicks league.
Ojeteoscuro F.C - FC Kneipenkick 1-2
Today FC Kneipenkick travelled to Spain to face Ojeteoscuro F.C, the 5th in the league. Ojeteoscuro chose today a 4-4-2 (normally he plays 4-1-3-2, because his 1st team DMC saw red). The away team hoped to benefit from the absense of a good DMC and fielded a 3-2W-2N-AMC-2ST. Both managers joined the match and also the league leader wacthed it (supported the other team). Both teams neutralized each other, but one minute before half-time Kneipenkicks new 7* signing Tonseth scored from distance. Immediately after half-time (48.) Ojeteoscuro equalized, but Kneipenkicks showed great moral by Dominik Afriyie. He outplayed the opponents defenders and scored the 2-1 (51.). Afterwards Ojeteoscuro reacted once more aggresively, changed the system to 4-3W-3, but Kneipenkick changed formation as well, parked the bus and secured that lucky win.
Other matches
The other matches of the top teams were bogus. The 4th (today 4-1-2N-1-2) lost at the 12th (4-4-2) 0-2. And the league leader Albion Addicks (active with 2 fans and me on his side) led 0-1 at 3rd placed Gluweh FC (offline, but in general an active player) up to minute 82, but then a double pack (82., 83.) changed the outcome of that match completely. Well, the away side manager took his 6* striker out after 70 minutes and replaced it by a 5*, but that score is considering the quality difference of the teams (8 points) and the match statistics still total bogus.

League update
So this match day was a nice one for Kneipenkicks season goal CL quali (8 points on rank 5, 6 on 4th, goal difference on 3rd) and closed the gap to the league leader to only 3 points (but he has a way better goal difference than me). The leaue leader sent me a friend invitation, he seems nice, but I will wait until the end of the season.
I decided to sell my DC. 18 Days injury while everyday someone gets injured in my team ..... i mean c'mon i run out of red packs i saved. I'm not gona pay for red packs for injuries everyday fak that
Well Its a good strategy if he is not an important member of the team, I've sold a few players due to long term injuries before when I'm low on red medics because it was easier and more cost effective to buy a replacement from the auctions than to buy a bundle of red medics.
I've bought 50 red packs at the first day of the new season and had still around 35 left from the last season.
I run out of red packs now because of 1-3 injuries on my main 11 players in League, CL and Cup matches.
From that 85~90 red packs i had when the Season started i got 3 left and i'm watching videos for red packs on FB too :(
And no i'll never buy that again. Game Engine rips you off if you buy red packs i tell you
I started season with 88 red packs. I have had average amount of injuries and now have 119 red packs. Why the increase? Because I hardly ever use them to heal injuries. If player gets injured, I just place him at the bottom of squad list and act like he dosen't exist, until he's healthy again. Only time I used any red packs at all, was when my only available striker got a training injury, and I didn't want to use an illegal formation.
Like everyone else, just the one match today. Just as well, because of injuries and suspensions, I had only 16 players to pick from.
LGE: LONDON CITY 3-0 SHAZZY B.
Slightly disappointing result (if 3-0 win can be disappointing), as we were playing 10th ranked team who had illegal formation (only 2 defenders). We took the lead in the first minute, through Seamus Flanagan. Teddy King added a second after 38 minutes. Flanagan bagged his second, and our third on 66. Then the game became an anti-climax. Seamus Flanagan got the m.o.m award, his 10th of the season.
My 3 top MC's were all suspended for the match, but I must credit my 2 reserve MCs who came in and did a great job. Still 4 points clear at the top, but now 12 points ahead of team in 3rd. The team that beat us for last season's championship are currently in 5th spot, 16 points behind us.
