What happen to Soggy F.C., Crispy F.C or A.C. Horny....well I must be out-of-date then.

Cup: Since Nord FA have not agreed to just give the Cup to Buffs FC they had to play a match today.
The Buffs have been drilled for defensive counterattacking in the Cup as a persistent never-to-be-changed strategy and so lined up in an 'normal' no-counter 4-1-3N-2 against the opponents 4-WD. Of course, why not.:rolleyes:
The Buffs controlled the match. However, Right Back Richard Gough got a 3 day injury after 21 mins. There were too many missed opportunities and for 75 minutes only Gemmill's goal separated the teams but finally Buffs scored from one of their 10 corners to give a little more realism to the scoreline.
Goals: Gemmill (27), Bremner (75).
Highlights: Buffs Mad ate 3 chocolate biscuits during the match.
NB: After the match DMC Alan Hutton was questioned by the Police on suspected kidnapping. Apparently he had left the ground with the opposition AMC still in his pocket. ;)

What have you learned from last season?
School can take away a lot of your activity and time to play. Especially watching matches. Once school started, I missed about 90% of the matches in that time. That then led to a drop in the standings.
Where did you place last season?
7th. Very disappointing after coming in 1st for the previous 3 seasons.
What's your current level?
5
What's your budget for this season?
Money-wise: do not get into debt. Token-wise: do not waste tokens on huge bidding wars. Only use 10 tokens at most.
Who do you want to replace?
My GK has took a drop in quality. It is almost time to replace him. Being in another forward. Basically add some depth to the team. The best 11 are very good, but the bench is very poor.
What are your goals for this season?
Actually make the Champions League. Because of the collapse my team took when I returned to school, I dropped from 2nd to 7th. Also make it past the Qualifying Round in the Cup. At minimum, finish 7th so I can keep moving up levels.

:) A good start!
that`s me into the next round of the cup for the 1st time in 3 seasons with a 5-2 agg score :)

No champions league, no world cup...''really amazing'' game...
Boom! youth sold and went 20 rounds!! more dosh for the pot!
What have you learned from last season?
NEVER play a match with your players condition 80% and below....
Where did you place last season?
3rd, managed to get a trophy out of that tough league. Sorry to 4th as he was hoping to claim 3rd position.:D
What's your current level?
Now level 16
What's your budget for this season?
200m if need be, otherwise im not spending unnecessarily.
Who do you want to replace?
Will have to see as the season gets going...
What are your goals for this season?
Ofcourse win the league.. Once again I cant talk about CL and cup as my luck im drawn with a token buyer in my group (CL), last season he won all 3 cups!
Kentucky F.C. is as most of the times out of the cup after the first round. :(
Sadly the team could not turn around yesterdays 2-0 away loss (4-5V-1 Pussy 03, me 4-5-1 flat). Today a 4-3 at home with 4-3N-3 was not enough to turn around the tie. Congrats to Pussy 03.
Well, maybe this exit was basic in disguise. I played the last seasons on a 32T basis and aim for the championship this year. With mid and late season transfers this squad could be formed (unassigned skills are for the bench and reserve players) and there is still some money left (>750 million).

Cup: Buffs FC successfully negotiate passage to the Qualifying rounds with a 5-3 away win (7-3 agg).
The Buffs set out in 4-1-3N-2 against the opposition 4-WD.
The home side opened the scoring in 14 minutes but the Buffs relpied quickly from a corner in 17 mins. Buffs took the lead in 33 mins but that was short-lived as the equaliser came on the 37th. As the match enterred the second half and since the opposition required 3 more goals Buffs Mad elected to switch to 4-5-1V. The wingers were on after 57 mins and the one on the left scored on 58 mins and again in 64 mins. Buffs Mad fiddled again asking his team to defend and counterattack for the last 20 mins. The home side had a flurry of attacks and McGregor made 2 saves before they pulled 1 back on the 82nd. So the switch back to Normal mentality was made and the clock ran down.
Goals:
McCoist (17), Law (33), Baxter (59, 64)
Garten (14), Hunt (37), Demuth (32)

Cup: After missing the 1st leg match and seeing his unsigned squad replaced by aged strangers Midas McGonnigal took charge over Celtic Rangers' 9-0 home win.
What have you learned from last season?
Playing in a league with lots of engaged players who're moderate token buys/farmers is fun & challenging. Even if we were all fighting over 2nd place after we drew a megabuyer.
Persisting for 2 seasons with a fast training, non-performing MC (no matter what midfield combo he played) was stubborn, I should have sold him off much sooner.
Assigning 220 skill points (I stopped assigning points for the reserves once we went out of both cups, and for the 1st XI once we were guaranteed at least 4th) at once is tedious, but has hopefully prevented a completely mental Cup draw.
Where did you place last season?
League:3rd, 1 point behind 2nd. I had the 2nd best (on average)squad - though others could match my 1st XI, and I missed points in a couple of games where I rested guys for CL/Cup matches.
Cup - out in the 3rd round, an improvement on the previous season.
CL - out in the 1st knockout round on away goals after forgetting to change orders when changing XIs after the day's league match.
What's your current level?
10
What's your budget for this season?
Started the season with 220 tokens and $105m in the bank. Have bought a couple of scouts, and a couple of players in the market, so down to 125T (TapJoy on iPad was being quite nice to farmers yesterday) & $85m.
Who do you want to replace?
Still need a DL/DC to round out the squad (I'm holding the space until Thursday when my academy is due to send 2 players), and there's another 2 or 3 guys who're out of contract at the end of this season who're unlikely to be competitive if I promote to L11. That said, everyone currently in the squad should handle L10 fairly well.
My GK has took a drop in quality. It is almost time to replace him. Being in another forward. Basically add some depth to the team. The best 11 are very good, but the bench is very poor.
What are your goals for this season?
League - will see after the draw is done, but aiming to win the thing unless we get another really big spender.
Cup - as per usual we're in a league with L11s and the odd L12, but will aim to fight on as far as possible. We've cleared the opening round 2-1 on aggregate, so on the way!
CL - getting out of our group should be fairly easy, so that's a minimum.
well as in earlier post it`s my 1st time in 3 seasons that i never got trolled on in cup prelim and so into next round and after seeing my Champions league group draw i can`t be anything but happy :) BUT What i`m looking forward too more is seeing if i go/stay in level 21 OR promoted too level 22 league as a level 21 team, like i was level 20 team in level 21 league :)
And that's done! Going through to the next stage in the cup!

We'll see what opponent the league has for me this season, tomorrow...
*BLEEP* the CUP, nuff said!
All that work for nothing, managed to hold my CUP level for 3 seasons, keeping my team weak on purpose, whilst still wining the League and in turn losing two CL early trolling because of my teams weakness, just to be knockout of the CUP again first round!
I blame myself, miss day one AGAIN, overslept lost 0-1, and draw the second leg against a same level team! ARRRRGGGGHHHH!
Assigned all my cones, bought 2 scouts, 2 killer transfers for nothing!
So I'm back to my old self, TRAIN, FARM and BUY my wins! I will DOMINATE through sheer raw TOKEN POWER, no more mister nice guy, I'm tired.

Cup Update:
Academy FC (32.6*, Level 4) drew Dikk a szaja fc (32.2*, Level 6) in the Cup Preliminary round. AFC played away the first leg and managed a 3-2 victory. The home leg was this morning at 10 (I was unable to watch due to a work meeting) but the team came away witha 2-0 victory in front a full capcity crowd (time to up ticket prices!). Each of the five goals scored so far were scored by different players as well, which is positive (in my mind).
YAY! through in the cup after 1st leg away 0-0 then at home 6-0 bang, tidy, god knows what happened there and against level above pretty happy with that, lets hope I avoid the sharks in the next round!
Galactico FC update
Cup (Preliminary): The Galacticos crashed out of the cup on the first round of defending their trophy they won on the previous season by penalties after a 2-2 aggregate draw against a stubborn opponent. They were ruthlessly and expertly punished for not signing a player on the first two days of the transfer window season(Which on every season up to now the Galacticos were on a buying frenzy) as they set their targets on free agents instead. This was the earliest exit of the cup for the Galacticos manager and Galactico FC since season 3 (Qualifying round). Both matches ended 1-1 home and away with the opponent gaining a home advantage on the 2nd leg and scoring all his penalties while the Galacticos missed two.
Home tie: Galacticos lined up 4-5-1V against opponent 4-4-2
ST Meftouh kept up his scoring form with a free kick but after half time MC Kosmala brought down his player in the penalty area and subsequently conceded a penalty on which they went on to score and despite the non-appearance by the opponent and 3 subs made by the Galacticos manager, the score remained till full-time
Goals: ST Meftouh 18'
Away tie: The Galacticos were TROLLED out of the cup through penalties and under controversial circumstances. The Galacticos lined up 4-1-3N-2 against 4-5-1 classic
ST Meftouh once again opened the scoring early in the game and the score remained 1-0 for almost the entire match,
Midway through the match the opponent changed their formation to 4-3W-3 as we know is ILLEGAL and he played 30 in game minutes on this formation and the Galacticos DID NOT take advantage of this error. Subsequently the Galacticos manager requested substitutes to bring onto the game on the 84th minute and change mentality to defensive, however straight after the orders were saved the opponent somehow scored from outside the box to bring the tie even stevens.
Words cannot describe how angry the Galacticos manager was at the time with poor defending leading up to the goal and the team could not hold out for a clean sheet. However the most IMPORTANT thing that irritated the Galacticos manager was that the subs were not BROUGHT ON until EXTRA-TIME! (WTF NORDEUS? WHY SO LATE) and this change also ruined the formation change the Galacticos manager was planning as the subs were meant to be brought on BEFORE THE GAME ends to hold out the lead.
Pretty much nothing happened in extra-time, with the Galacticos manager angry at his team's lack of instinct on their play with 80% possession, eventually the tie went to a penalty shootout, the second ever in the history of Galactico FC. Here is where it gets really annoying the connection somehow DISCONNECTED for the Galacticos manager and he could not set the penalty kick taker order for the game. In addition, he couldn't return to the game until the pens finished (Did the opponent hack my connection or what?!) and found out that my first two penalty kick takers missed both their pens and the opponent scored all his to knock the holders off the competition on the first round.
Thats what Nordeus? 6 successive penalties the opponent scored in succession in these two ties? Get LOST! GK IS SOLD AND NEVER TO PLAY FOR GALACTICOS AGAIN
#IMSODONE
Have no idea why I bothered putting in 5 suggestions to Nordeus, actually did research to help them better understand their system design flaws.
No one is going to read it, no one with the authority to change anything will read it.
Just did it, because that is all we can do.
2-2 at home
0-0 at away
end of cup
Well well well!, yesterday the new season and a new cup draw, great what are Nordeus going to throw at me this time?:confused:.
WAM!!!!!, me L15 v L18 FFS!!! no wonder I dont win the cup lol!, anyway the match comes and I get of to a flying start away..1 up after 15mins! great me thinks!, holds out till 75mins then WOLLOP!! they score two goals in a min! WTF!..game ends in defeat 2-1!.
Today I decide to even the odds!, farm a load of tokens and go buy 3 scouts he he!!!, that will ad some fire power to the team and I also bought 3 cheeky cheep buys of the market aswell so I am thinking this has to be it now do or bust!, the game starts and I again get off to a flyer, two up after 20mins!, then ofcourse L18 pulls one back grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!. I actually batter his goal but just can not score and the game finishes 2-1 and goes to extra time! with still no winner I get my first ever penalty shoot out in 15 seasons lol and heres how it went....Attachment 29992Attachment 29993.

Out of cup once again... This is really frustrating!!! First leg lost 2-1 away, 2nd leg drew 2-2 home!! So sad but so predictable!
Nice cup draw as avoided sharks but it is against level above again but our quality is similar so am happy and feel we can take them and am also happy with league draw as all in my level and nobody better Q than us so deffo an improvement on last season.
well that was good start to the champions league campaign with a 4-0 home win against my main rival for top spot
What an intense first league match.. Jo'Burg FC open the scoring in the 26th min.. Opponents striker got a goal back in the 33rd min, went into the 2nd half 1-1 a piece. Opponent ended up scoring 2nd half goal, 10 mins later Jo'Burg FC got awarded a penalty but didnt manage to convert it:mad: on the 90th min, Jo'Burg FC's DMC had a run on goal and converted it to make it a 2-2 draw.. Lovely match..

Champions League: Buffs FC get off to good start with a home win.
The visitors shouted "Thou shall not pass!" as they set up in 3N-3W-2N-2. The Buffs went 4-5-1V.
The Buffs 'passed' - and ran out 4-0 winners. ;) Buffs Mad had the side switch to ND for last 15 mins but it proved ineffective.
Goals: Gemmell, DC/DR (19), Johnstone (AMR/AMC (34), Baxter, AML/ML (42), Law, ST (61).
Highlights: Midfield enforcer Billy Bremner picked up his second booking in 2 games and was subbed at half time for shrinking violet Graeme Souness.
think i`l have my player`s for quite a few season`s as i have 3 x 21 yr olds and 8 x 20 yr olds all scout player`s and some decent younger 5 star player`s as cover with 3 x 23 yr olds for experience if needed, i think i well do quite well this season
I am level 19. I have 13 league titles, 1 Champions league title and 5 finals, but in World cup i reached couple times quarterfinals and usually i'm out in preliminary stage...I have tried everything i think, but more that i try my results are worst. Usualy i lost from weaker team, and if no after I'm playing agains squad 2 or 3 levels above me. WHY? I have another squad that i dont follow that much...every few days maybe, but they have won WC 2 times. WTF?
3/3 matches draw. out of the cup. 1pt in CL
waiting for 1st win in the league :((
Playing 2 leagues has messed me up..... too much focus on the OMA....
Played P-D-B again totally forgot about this game!

DANG!
i dont have my friends in my league :(
also i won my first chl match, if someone care. now im waitin to play my first league match after 2 hours.
Preparing for my CL match today and noticed that the opponent is quite a bit weaker. Going to use my subs/reserves today! Also, got put into a decent looking leauge. Only downside - the one team that finished ahead of me in my last league was also put into this league . . .
i lose league match from 16.4 team quality with ilegal formation and he didnt watch the match!!!!!!!
