Season 37

[Chris Rath]

Kneipenkick update:
Today was a very exciting day for all Kneipenkick (synonym for pub team) fans. In the league Kneipenkick faced league leader Albion Addicks with the chance to take over the lead. And in the CL league semis Slavche FC from Macedonia came to our pitch.

League (Lvl 3): FC Kneipenkick 2-0 Albion Addicks
Albion Addicks played in their usual (motivated) 4-4-2 line-up. He arrived at out ground in time and his (probably) mother gave additional 2% support. (His brother and sister support him normally, too. Good T11 family clan.) Kneipenkick also got external support by a manager called Pontus. @Pontus: First time we meet, man, but thanks for the support. I hope you enjoyed the game.

Kneipenkick started with a fake 4-1-3-2, that turned quickly into a narrow 4-1-2-1-2. The match was even in the first 30 minutes between both teams, but with a huge chance for Kneipenkick striker Kunz, who sadly wasted it pathetically. But right before half time the match got influenced by an injury. AA's Romanian 5* striker talent Robert Feraru got injured without influence of one of our players. Nigel reacted and strengthened the midfield to 4-5-1 straight during the half-time break. Kneipenkick could use the confusion of Addicks change of formation by Rasch after a nice pass from Bernd Gürser right (47.). Chris Rath decided to protect the lead by a system change to 3W-2N-3W-1-1, which worked. Over the complete match the Addicks only got 3 shots on target, while on the other side Evangelos Clemens decided the match after a nice combination with Kunz. Final score: FC Kneipenkick 2-0 Albion Addicks. FCK leads the league now by 2 points.

Champions League (Lvl 2): FC Kneipenkick 1-0 Slavche F.C. (aggregate 5-2)
After a very entertaining 4-2 away win at Slavche F.C., that costed a lot of nerves, Chris Rath tried today to keep the score down and also rest the top players (7 of them saw yellow during the CL competition). To archieve this goal he chose a motivated 4-1-4-1 against Slavches 3W-3-3W(AM)-1. Both teams neutralized each other in the first half, but after 57 minutes the relaxing athmosphere stopped. FCK striker Purt got injured, he had to be substituted by a first 11 player. Kunz came into the match and finally brought Slavches defense into trouble.
In the last 30 minutes FCK collected 9 corners (all pathetic, the normal corner specialist was rested and 7* Ronseth was incapable to play a nice corner). At least Kunz also provocated fouls that lead to freekicks. Clemens crossed the FK perfectly onto the head of defender Vasilev, 1-0 (74.). The final score.

General news:
20 years old midfielder Walter Garcia got today sold for close to 1 million € (90% of market value). Considering that he was lower 4* and he came as a 2 token free transfer, no bad deal. But also no bad deal for FCK, but the new owner can also be happy, he has some potential and good growth.

Outlook:
In the other semi-final Leganes gave Lepok FC a 5-1 spanking (first match 7-3, aggregate 12-4). So we face this strong team in the final.
In the league FCK travels tomorrow to F.P.E. La TriCo (6th). No easy task since their manager adopts his tactics each day and his tactics are usually tricky.

LOL.... what Nordeus taketh away, Facebook giveth....

Since we have suffered 2 straight league defeats... and I have been swapping in subs to protect my top players for bigger matches.... morale was in the tank.... I was down to 1 booster.... then I just hit a run of 7 consecutive FB booster vids.... hells yeah!

[Kyroshill]

The other CL semi ended 1-1..... so with a 4-4 1st leg.... the 1st team whose name I do not know wins.... LOL

Thats a very nice result too, very good job :P

cheers
he was 1 star (5 quality) better than me at the start of the season, took me alot of times to catch up with him and able to beat him
now my biggest task is to beat another team who is 7 points quality higher than me with a team full of scouts in CL final.. that will be my biggest achievement if i can beat him in the final .. he passed everyone so comfortably .. but so did i

my formation is a mix of (4-1-4-1 and 451V) and is just working like a charm for me .. and hopefully will work against his attacking 433 formation

That happened to me as well today, thinking I'm only getting 1 rest booster today, then a line of videos appear and now I have 41 rests spare, looks like I will have 60-70 spare for sunday to commence some power training for next season. Blue boosters are never a problem for me, I have got over 250 of those with winning/watching my games regularly.

Champions League preview - PSG (1) vs Perfect Tactics (2)

Tense atmosphere in the PSG stadium as the two best teams in this competition aim for a place in the final against Lonte FC. Surely the winner of this tie will win the trophy as the other finalist has a 4* team and has been very shaky this season. Perfect Tactics have already been crowned champions of their league and after their win today, PSG have also been crowned league champions.

Perfect Tactics have a narrow 1 goal advantage going into this match but we have to score an early away goal so we can breathe a little. We know a 1-0 loss will knock us out on away goals so it is important that our players are focused on the match. PSG rescheduled the match 2 hours later but this will not be a problem for us.

We make one change since our 2-1 win, Che Dutton replacing Kompany in defence, giving us a very flexible 4-5-1 V which can turn into a butterfly at any time during the match. Max win bonus for this one and everyone up to max condition and morale.

This is it. The clash of the titans.

Last season, My Champions League final was against a team that was written in Thai text lol, Seemed strange not knowing exactly who you are playing!

EDIT: 4,000 posts, I don't even think El Nano had this many on the old forum.

Hmmmm.... I find that my squad loses a lot of morale strictly through my changing on tactics.... not every player fits every formation.... so even winning and watching hasn't built me a reserve.... so when I missed 2 matches because they were absurdly early in the morning.... and then lost 2 league matches.... and swapped out players.... I bottomed out.... I thought sure I was going into CL semis with at least 4 players below dark green for morale.... OR spend tokens I am trying to save for next season...

Unfortunately... token vids hit a slump the past few days.... did get 8 on one day... but was shut out completely 2 other days... and had a 1 vid token day....
