Season 59

[El Duderino]

Yesterday's matches

League: Forgot to get up in time to watch the match. The guy changed his formation and I got lucky to even get a draw. This result puts me even more back in the league ranks. Damn it!



CL: Managed to win against the highest Q in my group. It was the biggest challenge and I won away. Now time to convert the home game.

Today's matches

Cup: Ugh!! Worst score ever. Seriously, the away game will not be easy. I didn't get one goal in despite my attempts. I really don't want to be out of the cup so early.



League: You can say that I'm a genius manager. What a match that was. Was losing 1-3 at half time, made some tactical changes and managed an AMAZING comeback! Al Nawayseh with the hat trick. The Schreyeck/Al Nawayseh duo is working quite well. And also I finally beat my nemesis: THE WIDE DIAMOND!

Tomorrow's matches

League: Okay we need to win all of our league matches. Trying a special formation against the classic 4-4-2



CL: Won the away match, time to win the home game!

[Cat Harrison]

Good luck vs. 4 4 2, let us know what formation if it worked, eh..


I had a good match vs. a weak team today, I set all the veterans to play it.
I love no bad ratings:



Guess I won't kick Barbiero off the team just yet.

[Kylos]

Well where do I start...

Cup:
Fridays cup match went super well, 1st leg was a 0-0 draw away, 2nd leg got a 4-0 win! Through to the playoffs.. Now facing a token buyer that happens to also be in my league. Played an away match against cup opponent that in my league and got a nice 1-1 draw.. Wait an see what happens in the 2nd leg.

CL:
Currently sitting 3rd after Jo'Burg FC lost 3-2 at HOME! MC got sent off before the break and opponent scored 2 min after to make scores 3-2, and thats how it ended!! Playing same opponent today.

League:
Saturdays match was the most difficult out of all as opponent hasnt lost and scores 4+ goals every match. Jo'Burg FC played fantastic despite losing 1-0! Sunday played opponent which is also in my cup draw, got a 1-0 away victory... This is one tough league and wont be easy to make it to the top 4.. Will have to see half way how things are going.

Transfers: Woke up saturday morning (3AM) to check the TM and NOTHING!!! Checked again at 4AM and BOOM, TM full of young 5* players... Bought 7 of them! Sold 8 other players who were under performing... Hopefully the new signings can make a difference especially in the league!

Standing with the students in the UmBrella Revolution is dangerous.

Guarding the barricades against the riot police is difficult.

Long hours at the sit-in is tiring.

Chances of winning freedom and universal suffrage is slim.



But wining a top eleven game at the frontline.........

..... Ha!!! Makes life easier.

CL update:

Currently in 3rd, played opponent in 2nd. Got a nice 2-0 away victory to push Jo'Burg FC into 2nd position. Next is opponent in 1st.

[Buffs Mad]

League: Buffs FC used their Get Out of Jail Free card today. Buffs Mad once more elected to play 4-3N-2W-1 v opponent's 4-1-3N-2. The opposition lay in 12th place with 1 win which seems strange given his 'Q ranking'.

The Buffs toiled throughout, unable to take their chances. They had an early lead but were pegged back near the end of the half. A second strike shortly after the restart restored a tentative lead but thankfully they held on for the 2-1 away win.

The Buffs still top the league but have a stern test approaching with games against 5 of the top 7 to come before halfway. But the performance level remains high.

[pcmacdaniel]

League: Currently 5-1-0 and sitting in 3rd place. Tonights opponent is among the weaker teams in the league, so a "W" is most likely. With the top two teams both at 7-0-0, we won't be gaining any ground though.

Cup: Lost the first leg 1-2 last night. Game plan is ready for a bounce back game tommorrow and team will be fully rested with superb morale.

Champions: Currently top the group at 3-0-0, and can clinch a birth in the round of 16 with a draw/win later today.

[Peter Renn]

Well, 7 games played 7 points to 3d. Good run so far, playing the 2nd in 2 days, hopefully after that league is over ha ha but he's strong so one of us gets the title

[Buffs Mad]

Champions League: Buffs Mad said "What's with all these 4-1-3N-2s this season?" So the Buffs trooped out in 4-3N-2W-1 again and won 2-0.

Buffs Mad did not attend the match, opting instead to visit franchise team Dependiente in the OMA Masters' League. This neglect was compounded when reserve AML Cooper was stripped for action but the other regular was not informed he might be needed as a Sub and ofc the AMR got a 10 day injury after 24 mins to force the Buffs to play on with 10 men.

After the match Buffs Mad said "It wisnae me."
