    I won't be able to catch up to Romain FC now, the 3rd placed team failed to beat them at home this round which means he has a 3 pt lead with two games to go and both of us playing seemingly abandoned teams for the next two. It's a shame because the 3 games I've lost have been absolutely stupid on my behalf. I still have better goal difference but I can't see him losing either of the 2 remaining.

    Got a CL-final tomorrow night, which by stats I should win, but who knows. It's followed by an away league game just minutes after. I got the worst possible seed for the cup ending up with the absolutely two outstanding teams in my side.

    FC Kneipenkick update:

    League (Level 3): F.P.E. LaTrico - FC Kneipenkick 1-6 (1-2)
    Today Kneipenkick travelled to F.P.E. from Ecuador, a manager, who adopts his system for each match. FCK was under pressure to grab 3 points since Albion Addicks gained a 2-1 in a preponed match (the match took place at 6 AM, probably to give the players some rest before AAs cup final, good luck for you there, Nigel). AA was 0-1 down (27.), but then took profit of a red card (55.) for the away team and turned the score 2-1.

    Back to this match: LaTricos manager changed his team formation last night into an illegal one: 3N-3W(DM)-2MC-ST. He is a master in that regard and collected already some points with illegal formations. Kneipenkick responded with a 3N-DMC-3W-3ST. But the initial tactic was only a trick by LaTrico. He finally changed his system 5 minutes before the match started: 5-4(DM)-ST, OMG.
    (It was quite weird that he changed the line-up so late, but did not show up for the match.)

    Kneipenkick stayed at the system believing in the good of Nordeus match engine, but that was a fail. 1-0 (1.) for F.P.E. LaTrico before the first minute was over. I was about to throw the laptop out of the window, but thanks to pressing whole pitch and three strikers Afriyie and Abdel Aal turned the score (9.) and (11.) quite quickly.
    Kneipenkick had try after try, but the 5 defenders and 4 DML/DMC/DMR's blocked every attempt, free-kick or corner, instead LaTrico could create some chances.
    I was really confused that this game was so close and LaTrico collected chances. So I made my first tactical correction (I sensed the home manager despite having an illegal formation attacked over the wing. He probably used motivated DML/DMR, who were only single marked. Probably that is why the game engine gave LaTrico so many chances.). So I changed to 3W-1-3-3, most of the annoying counters were stopped, althought the DM wing backs were only single marked, which I corrected later.
    After the half-time break Afriyie made it 1-3 (48.) for FCK. Despite the comfortable score I was not happy with the score. The match engine did not punish the opponents illegal "****-in-the-pants"-tactics in an adequate result. After 73 minutes (a-posteriori way to late) I switched to 3W-4-3 to strengthen the pressure on this massive defense (and as a side-effect the motivated DML/DMR's were double marked). The match engine seemed to like this move and Clemens (75.), Rasch (82.) and once more Afriyie (83.) made it finally 6-1. MOTM: Afriyie with 3 goals.

    On the last 2 days of the season Kneipenkick has two home games, against Vietnamese Wolf FC and D.d.d. FC from Croatia.

    Cup (Level 3):
    In the cup Paja United could lift the trophy after a 2-0 vs. Darica Gencler. Congrats to their manager, for winning the final and beating Ujo FC (who eliminated FCK in the preliminary stage ) in the semis.

    Good luck for all managers participating in a cup final.

    (Sry for editing this post that often, but I am no native speaker and additonally today I am very unconcentrated and made lots of spelling mistakes. I hope most of them are corrected.)
