What would piss me real off is the 100% score on goal rate, 2 shoots 2 goals. I don't think i ever saw something like that.

League R24 Dropsmongool Dy 0-2 Massie Lodge
Cup Final Maccabi 3-2 Massie Lodge (after extra time)
Well, the dream of the treble has disappeared once again this season after a disappointing night. After a hard fought League win the Cup Final was played just over an hour later with the manager unable to be present & therefore no rest packs or boosters available to the 11 players on the team sheet. The Cup Final actually finished 2-2 & was heading for a penalty shoot out before a 115th minute winner by the Israelis. Massie Lodge dominated possession 57-43 against an opponent we were marginally stronger than despite being a Lvel beneath them. Alas, it was not enough & the lack of condition told in extra time.
When the manager checked players condition this morning all of the first 11 were in the red zone. We will be lucky to recover in time for the CL Final tomorrow morning. Plenty of rest & no training today.
CL opponent plays a 3N-2(DML/DMR)-2(MC)-3
Should I go 4-4-2 and Petersen OOP (worked for me last CL final)? Or go 3N-1-4-1-1 and Petersen in the hole... Or anything else?
I wouldn't have a problem if it was 3-2-3-2 but it's 3-2-2-3, slightly different and more attacking
how can I beat against this formation?

any suggestion??
good luck guys for their finals :)
Chronicles from the Eagles...
It was a whirlwind 24hrs. Against all adversity, we might bend but not break; we might tire and play listless but we promise our fans to be there until the last whistle...
The Eagles have 18yrs going into the last 48hrs and playing in 2 finals from yesterday.
The 1st game was a league match against 4th place team (Lions FC), and considering we have our cup finals in another 2hrs. Team management decided tp roll out a 2nd string side and give the big boys a rest. Alas! 60mins into the match, we already lost 3players to varied injures: Sang Woo Cho (MC) - 5days; O.D Ben (ST) - 3days; Ekopdin Booysetha (MC) -6days. Naturally, we had to make substitution and bring on 3players. Match ended 1-1. And with that we kisssed the league title good bye.
Cup Finals: At this stage, only have 15players (13 outfield and 2 GKs). This is going to be very interesting. We lined up the boys for the first time this season in an asymetically formation (you can't blame team manager) because of injury and continued poor form of the STs. Playing against a very strong opponent in PSV. The match started on a cagey note and tackles flying around. On the 10min mark, we lost Ortiz (MC) to 6days injury and Neved (AML/ML/DML) was also streched off the pitch and he will be out for 5days! Opponents was reduced to 10men by the 33rd minute due a a second bookable offence to Nagy (MC). We tried to expliot the vaccum immediately - Jay Jay Okocha played Bastistuta a through ball and he buried it. Yeah Yeah Yeah...the Eagles won the cup for the 3rd straight season
Champions League finals: Going into the CL finals in a few hrs, we are down to just 13players (including 2GKs), this is absolutely incredulous. But we shall not dispair, Neved was sent to the emergency ward and back in training. 14players is all we need for the Finals any way. Can the Eagles win the CL in the face of mounting adversity? That is the million dollar questions.
Footnote: 2 of the injured players will be sold tonight.
Thanks, I play the same formation in the CL final, too.
The counter table section suggests 4-5-1V, but from my experience this only works well, if no your opponent uses no arrows. In the later case you have to adjust your tactics with arrows aswell. All the best for your final, too.
Cl tonight, we are ready to win but bad news :-s maybe we won't be home :(
Defeated my league leader last night. Now the gap only one point between us. Hope he will drop points in next two matches
I couldn't attend a few matches this season, I'm currently 3rd in the league, but could finish 2nd with 1st and 2nd playing each other today, 3 points between each of us. Hopefully 1st place can win away from home against 2nd tonight. A breakthrough in the Cup this season, though, as we made it to the quarter finals, better than our best seasons before this when we only made the Last 16.
This is it. The bid to win yet another treble is upon us this evening, Champions League final day.
Good luck to anyone else thats also involved in a Champions League final of their own this season!
Nothing changed in my league. My mate Bakuretsu storm won even down 1 in the first minutes of first half. I followed the match, and game engine has something defenetly wrong. He overpowered the opponent with a crushing 78% ball possession and several shoots, altho in in the 5th min the others scored one. He tied by the end of first half and in the second half (him red opponent blue) all that was to be seen was a full red bar! They plaied almost 35 mins in the second half like, on the opponent gk's line. And yet, he scored just once more and got tied right after on 2-2. He managed 2 goals in the end and won though. Seriously something isn't just right. Final ball possession was 79%. 21 shoots, 15 on goal vs 9 shoots, 3 on goal.
Anyways, they won and so all they need is tie the final match tomorrow to be champions. New Team will try their best to keep the pressure up but coach Mad fears tension dropping since te 2nd place was assured by last won match.
Won Cup, currently on first posiition in league with a four point lead. Second place team has a game less than me.
League update: FC Kneipenkick 3-2 Wolf F.C. (ht: 2-0)
Wow, that was harder than expected. Today Wolf F.C. came to visit FCK and fielded an offensive 4-4-1-1. Kneipenkick mirrowed the formation, 4-1-4-1. FCK scored in first half with a double pack by Sollie (26.) and Ruben de Toledo (28.) and could even extend the lead to 3-0 by Hassler (52.). But Bartolini (57.) and Coto Ortega (88.) scored for the away side and made the result very close. Watching the last seconds of the match was hell. Kneipenkick is now 5 points in front of Albion Addicks, but AA has one game in hand - this evening at 3rd placed Women F.C.
CL outlook:
Attachment 3016
Final at 22:11 PM CET. Both teams are quality-wise on par. I expect a good match and hope for the better end.
I think my mind is made up now
I'll be playing 4-3W-2(AMC)-1 against my CL opponent. He plays a 3N-2W-2N-3 formation.
DONE IT, DONE IT, DONE IT.
After 8 seasons, I've finally managed to win the league.
Full details will follow later.
dv8r, what time do you kick-off in the final this season, mine is at 9.21pm GMT, hope we don't clash like we did last season.
League, round 25 - Perfect Tactics 5-0 Romain FC
Less than 4 hours to go until the big moment!
It was a dull first half, as the usual story for us this season. Crawford set up the first goal for Mata from a counter attack, apart from that it was just a midfield battle and their defence was keeping the score low. In the 2nd half we changed tactics and it immediately changed the game, Yedek made it 2-0 from another counter attack, Crawford with the assist. Then a world class hat trick from Petersen, 2 from free kicks and another from a 1 v 1 opporunity, gave us a big win.
However some stupid glitch made me unable to make substitutions during the game... I think someone had this problem before.
Goals: Mata (34'), Yedek (58'), Petersen (67', 79', 90')
MOTM: Petersen
Just simulated my formation against a friend so I can prepare for my CL final. They are of similar quality and I played the 4-1-2W-2N-1 and it beat his 3W-2N-2N-3 5-0. It was done under the conditions that there is 0% possession bonus and both people watching, win bonus, max morale and condition.
I think I have this :)
I just realised how crap my opponent is... I don't want to get too complacent and cocky so I'll just leave it at that lol
