League: WOW! Buffs FC and the words 'league' and 'win' share the same sentence. Shockerooni! A 4-1 league win.
Buffs FC travelled to Iraq to take on a 4-2(DMC)-3N-1 and stepped out in a 3N-3N-2W-2. But Buffs Mad was too busy chatting to notice the oppositions change to 4-1-3N-2.
Opposition took the lead on 30 minutes against the run of play after they got 2 bookings and an injury and before their sub got on. Buffs Mad switched them to 3-1-3-2W-1 and the Buffs hit back quickly with 2 goals from either winger just before half-time. Baxter got his second from the left before GK McGregor was stretchered off (2 days) and Henderson got his second from the right on the final whistle.
Goals: Henderson (37, 90), Baxter (41, 66).

In the league we are now on the first place cause we are the only team that managed to win 5 times!
(It's really funny how minimalist my players seem to bee^^ Even the 11th placed team has scored more goals than we did :p)
http://www11.pic-upload.de/30.08.14/sevuam9whsl5.png
In the Champions League we are on the 1st place without having conceded a goal yet! :cool:
http://www11.pic-upload.de/30.08.14/6vvfb3nvmks2.png
And in the Cup we'll play tomorrow in the Playoffs against SV Densborn, that are in my league too and finished on the 3rd place last season, 1 point behind us. :)
So it's going to be an exciting match for sure...
CL: 3-0 loss, still no idea what's wrong with my team. I checked everything, all settings are still the same as always. :confused:
13 goals conceded this season, 10 of them in the last 3 games.
35 goals scored this season, 1 in the last 3 games
Day 7, saw Titan FC travel to lovely Vastang, Sweden, to face the even lovelier Annika Soderlind and her Kukumo rovers. This is now developing into an old rivalary, as both KuKumo and Titans were in the same League and CL group last season.
The results from previous engagements ended with mixed results with Titans coming out slightly ahead, what will the new season bring, the clash of Narrow Diamond teams.
It was a tense moments as both managers announce their starting line ups. Titan will play a V and true to form Kukumo will play a ND.
Englishmen Alex Green, Titans AML prove he was all that Manager Willis said he would be, when he was transferred in early on in the season, scoring in the 13'. It was a tense close game all along as the Kukumos Narrow Diamond lived up to its reputation.
But after two suspect substitutions, which was immediately followed by an equalizing goal in the 74' by the rovers! One has to wonder about the substitution strategy of Manager Willis. "Don't fix what's not broken!" says this reporter.
What looked like another Demonic trolling as Manager Willis would conveniently call it. A 1-1 draw again against an inferior team, our AML Englishmen strikes again in the 81'. Three cheers for the English. 1-2 away win, our Titans steals one from our lovely Swedish lady. Good Job boyzzzzz!

The Titans proceed to the top of the Group H CL table with 7 points.
"all settings are still the same as always" your opponents change everyday, their Av. Qty, their formations, their tactics, but you stay the same! That is your problem at any level, you are predictable and thus easy to beat.
Best to rethink the team, their are no GOLDEN formations and eternal tactics. Just dum managers, do not be one of them, change!
Be like water my friend be like water, ever changing, get some flexibility into your team, play more formations and test out tactics, never stop! This is T11 not Candy Crush. You have to think more and more, not zone out and numb your mind. Good luck hunting for new things dude.
Peace out!
You can win this, I know you can, throwing tokens at it helps, but will only help so much. Try getting a possession % advantage, I am now at a state where even if I over sleep an miss the match. I have 15% possession away almost every time.
Means making a lot of watching friends!
I'm pretty sure the last 3 opponents didn't change a thing about their lineup, they just played with the same formation and tactic they always do. Besides I changed my lineup just before the match, I use different tactics based on my opponents formation. That worked great for 8 seasons now and in the beginning of the season everything went as good as ever. But yesterday something changed, suddenly it was like my players were 3 star players instead of 5 and 6 star players. During the games I changed my formations to look for a good one, but I just have the feeling it didn't matter what formation and what tactics I used.
I hope it's just temporary.
I have 9 injuries but it doesn't matter LOL

Oh **** your players are really tired! Some of them might be dead^^ ;)
How's it going with tanking? I wonder how your team looks like now after so many seasons of tanking...?
They are "monsters" for sure :-)
League Update:
Won 5:1 on the road yesterday against the team that had been in 1st place, and won 5:0 at home today against a team in the middle of the table. Moved up to 2nd place, tied on GD with the current 1st place team, but with fewer goals scored.
CL Update:
Ninjaa FC played one of the 2 other tough teams in the group on the road today. Started out up 2:1 at halftime, and then got trolled in the 2nd half to lose 4:2. Had 2 yellow cards, allowed 2 double corners, and there was also a goal conceded in the exact same minute I subbed a MC out for another MC. The other team is pretty good, but they're still lower quality, and my team has been beating much tougher teams in the cup, so I really don't understand the poor performance today. This is the first time I've ever seen the teamm concede more than 3 goals in one match as well...
In the fist half, Ninjaa FC had a lot more shots to go along with having more possession. In the 2nd half, Ninjaa FC had even more possession, but the other team had tons of shots, while Ninjaa FC only had a few...
Ninjaa FC now needs to win at least 2 wins in the next 3 group stage matches, and even then a bit of luck would be needed. The good news is that the matches against the 2 tough teams will both be at home, so the draw and loss so far have been on the road.
It's also worth mentioning that the game has been punishing me a lot recently for making 2nd half subs. Either the other team gets a goal in the same minute, the player subbed in gets an immediate injury, or the player subbed in immediately gets a yellow card. It's making it seem like I may as well just sit there and watch and not make any subs, because it's not worth it...
Ickle Club News
Celtic Rangers win 8-1 away from home in the league. Dribbler Striker Thomson scores 4 and gets his 9th 9 rating in 9 matches but loses the MoM award to his strike partner. They are top of the league on gd.
Shangalang FC win 2-0 at home. Shangalang FC are a bit too patchwork to keep going much longer since management can't be bothered shopping for players. But maybe that'll change if they get into the knockout stages of the Cup. They lie 5th in the league 3pts off the top.

LOL....
in 22 season sss is the 1st time that happen to me......... I trained a player without condition and was injuried...
I always was thinking that if no condition... no progress gaining... so directly don't train.... no risk.... because never had this type of injurie in 22 seasons....... LOL
Cup Play-off 1st Leg: Buffs Mad orders the squad to put a sock down their under-crackers to not feel inferior against their Level 8 opponents. The opposition manager appeared to laugh as they emerged.
The home-side lined up in a 4-hex and the Buffs went all Cup-Style in their faces with a 4-5-1V Defensive Counterattacking.
The referee showed set his stall out early booking a home defender in 8 mins - Archie Gemmill curled and dipped one off the foot of the left post. The Buffs defence battled and bit, but Tommy Gemmell went a bit far in 31 minutes with a knee in the back of the home attacker........inside the box. The attacker was stretchered off (and watching manager a bit slow to replace him). And the resultant penalty cooly slotted home.
The second half started with 11 v 11 again. The Buffs were working hard and in the ascendancy, so Buffs Mad opted for some fresh legs as Bobby Murdoch and Ally McCoist came on for Paul McStay and Kenny Dalglish respectively. Soon, and just as the homeside introduced fresh legs too, McCoist was fouled wide on the edge of the box. His floated FK was nodded in by Jimmy Johnstone ghosting in from the back.
The Buffs then withstood wave after wave of attacks but gave up few chances. Hutton picked up a yellow as the match clock showed 10 mins left. But the Buffs held firm, against multiple corners and McGregor made 2 stunning saves.
2-1 win away. What's not to like. :D
Goals: Gemmill (8), Johnstone (63).
At the end Buffs Mad walked past the home dug out, pulled out a sock and said "What? I've got a foot down there."
League: Buffs FC fail to take the opportunity to close the gap in the league (due to managerial incompetence), drawing 2-2 with 3rd place Chelsea.
Today's visitors to Buffs Park stepped out in a 3N-2W-3N-2 and Buffs Mad ushered the Buffs into a 4-3N-1-2, but was never convinced it was the right action as he paced nervously.
The Buffs were dominating possession and creating chances against the managerless side, until he appeared late. With posssession in the balance and chances at either end the visitors took the lead from a corner in 28 mins. Buffs Mad wrestled with formation changes but decided to see out the half. At HT Buffs Mad took off Left Back McLeish and Central Midfielder McStay - on came wingers Baxter and Henderson to complete the switch to 3N-4-1-2. The pattern of the first half continued, end to end stuff but chances were at a premium. But again the Buffs succumbed to a corner as the visitors nodded a 2 goal lead.
Buffs Mad screamed at the wingers to push on and for Dalglish to touch the ball at least once! Hutton picked up the Buffs 13th yellow of the campaign for taking out the ball, player and half the midfield with an agricultural challenge. At the other end the visitors' defence was resolute. Corners were proving useless as the 2 central aerial defenders headed everything.....until Gemmill swung in a peach and Murdoch slammed it home on 75 mins. Tails were up and the Buffs pressed. 2 FKs were squandered and 1 brilliant save denied the Buffs.
The visitor defence was panicking in the last 10 mins. Where once they were assured they were no deflecting and giving possession away. When Gemmill slipped the ball through to McCoist it was "rabbits in headlights" as he crashed home. Just one more! And there was one more, one more fantastic save from the visiting keeper as he tipped over a ranged effort and then clutched the ball from the resultant corner to his chest. Final Whistle. Draw. Missed Opportunity.
Goals: Murdoch (75), McCoist (85).
Next up for the Buffs is the team in 2nd place - win or bust.
Dominated my oponent but had to come back from a goal behind to score twice in last 15 to secure 3 points. Sitting 2nd with 4v n 2 draws. But still need score more waste too many chances http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...af5ddefba1.jpg
I.. haven't been doing very well. :(
I've missed some matches, but even the ones I attend I can't seem to win. I am in a strong League, but am last of active Teams in table. Just a slump, I hope our form picks up enough to make it to a CL spot! Barring that, at least a promotion spot!

League Update:
Won 5:1 on the road today against one of the weaker teams in the league. The one conceded goal was on a PK.
Cup Update:
The first leg of the Playoffs Round was the away match. The opposing team is the first team of the same level that Ninjaa FC has faced so far, so even though my team should have beaten them easily, instead they struggled. The other manager watched the match, but for some reason didn't sub out his player that got injured early (but his team did better after the injury of course...). Ninjaa FC scored in the 1st minute, and again before halftime, to lead 2:1. The match ended as a 3:3 draw however, and most of the players for Ninjaa FC had poor ratings. Still though, 3 away goals and a draw in the away match should both be good signs.
I've had the team playing in 4-5-1 V a lot more recently, hoping the more defenders would give the team better chances, but they seem to be playing worse, so I will likely try going back to my usual more offensive tactics tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the most important day of the season so far, as in league Ninjaa FC plays against the toughest opponent they ill face in the league, and a match in CL against the team they lost to yesterday. Winning both will put the team in control of the league, and back on decent footing in the group in CL.
yesterday's first draw match at league this season . but my league position still good

hopefully will play better today
My observation about my server getting big waves of Nordgens on days the scout list updates seems to be correct, as the scout list just updated, and the transfer list appears full of Nordgens (mostly 19 year olds, but all high value). I've been looking for a new GK to take over next season for my slow training starter, and for a back up DC/DR, and assuming I win the bids, and I might be able to get both of those. ;)
SBARATA FC
YESTERDAY we played away against 2nd, none of the managers present, similar quality, slightly advantage to him.
I troll him, by winning 1:5, goals by Maillot, Ozturk and 3 from Carchedi that won MOM.
We are now in 7th place.
D FC
draw at home in the CUP, by 2:2, a win its needed If we whant to revalidaste the title.
In LEAGUE another win, we are now in 3rd on GD
A a Z FC
we won away against one of the abandoned teams, and are in 9th
ACADEMICO D FC
We won at home and are now in 7th place.
well that was a game, twice coming from behind to win 3-2 at home with an 83rd minute goal from my sub who was only on pitch for 6 minutes.
now won 4 drew 2 lost 1 and currently 2nd could go 3rd at end of day but still level 20 team doing well in level 21 league so got to be happy at the moment :) #trollingleague
edit; i still have 1,200+ skill point`s to add from when i was in level 21 last season :)
Champions League: Buffs Mad pulls up the comfy chair and gets a roaring fire going for a home match. The opposition comes out in a variation of the Christmas Tree, but the lights aren't on. Buffs go 3N-1-2-2W-2 in an attempt to conserve condition in key areas for the league match against second.
Buffs take a a 2-0 lead in the first 30-odd mins and Buffs Mad subs 2. The match clock ticks over as nothing much happening on the goals front with block after block, tackle, deflection and 5 saves from the away keeper in the second half - only one more goal came mid way through the half.
*yawn*
Souness came on in 81 mins and got the customary booking for the Buffs 5 mins later. So 15 matches = 15 yellows (+ 1 red). Oi Nordeus! Gonnae no dae that!
Goals: Dalglish (16, 72), Johnstone (34)
Lol what you serious? This is what happens when you forget to sort the player conditions out before a league match
Spoiler
Well, champions league went ok, through to next round, league was a wasted day, once again dominating but not score a single goal, first defeat, sitting 3d now, on goles with the 2nd
