Season 64

[nikolgiorgos]

The lack of an effective ST increasing the pressure.
In today's knock out CH.L. game out, my MC and the winger scored while the scored had to be at least 2-4 but oppo DC eliminate my STs.
Maybe I will park the bus (play a 4-2 (DMC)-4 MC) in second leg, to keep a 0-0 till I 'll find a real ST

[Buffs Mad]

League: Tonight Buffs slipped to a 2-2 draw against a rarely seen Lesser Spotted European Counterattacking ND, who now lie 7th.

The opposition took the lead after 38 minutes from a double corner. With the Strikers struggling again the Buffs wingers once more stepped up to the plate with right winger Henderson equalising on 71 mins and leftie Robertson putting the Buffs in front on the 80th minute mark. But alas it was short-lived as the opposition forced another dbl corner immediately from the restart. The last 9 minutes were tense with Buffs maintaining the pressure but the opposition shooting from everywhere, Buffs Mad slumped as a CK was awarded to the opponent almost on the stroke of full-time, nerves jangled as Goram made the save........and everyone held their breath until it was clear Goram he;d on to it. <phew>

This was the only really poor team performance this season with 4x6 ratings creeping in.

Afterwards Buffs Mad said "Everyone has their starting slot almost secured, so its time to shake it up a bit with some players switching roles. Additionally, I take pride in my midfield's control of a match - there was none today, changes will be made."

Nevertheless, news came in that 2nd had lost to the now 5th placed side that had bought former Buffs' ST Dalglish - and he even scored 2. So more a missed opportunity rather than a slip.

Half-season Table
AEPRE FC becomes competitive in the 3rd game of the season.

Angus FC have been pretty much lucky in several important games, a 4-3 victory over a potential challenger FC Union MHL (Game 2), and recently, a 2-1 win over เชลซี FC (Chelsea FC) (Game 13). They have hold their unbeaten run for 11 games before it comes to end with the hand of AEPRE FC with the score of 3-2, from Oscar's 76th minute corner header goal.

AEPRE FC is not on their best, but they defeated Los Hermosos FC 5-0. The opposition seems to have the most amount of shots compared to their matches aganist other important rivals. Young goalkeeper Petr Kamas makes his debut, but the manager decided to favor the current number 1, Markus van Zwolle by bringing him in place of the Czech keeper in the 32nd minute. Frederick Aboagye seems to have the best game of his career at AEPRE FC so far, putting the ball into the back of the net twice.

The first goal comes from Alfie Deyes' header from Borja Bartra's corner kick in the 17th minute. Frederick Aboagye scores from a long-range in the 42'.

Los Hermosos FC's midfielder Sergey Britovskiy earns his 2nd yellow card and sidelined by the referee in the 63', before Oscar opens a good free-kick attempt to Joe Sugg, who then heads it into the back of the net.

Pavel Sochocki scored from long-range in the 77', and finally Aboagye in the 88' with a long-ranged drive.

Stelios Kyrtegos also receives his debut from the manager by replacing Frederic Soumare in the 77th minute, but he still couldn't make an instant impression.

Gencfenerbahce18 is the troll team of the league, currently sitting in 6th place, awaits AEPRE FC tomorow, while the pole-sitter Angus FC faces an important challenge from the 3rd-placed team FC Union MHL. With only one point separating AEPRE FC from Angus FC and the lead, there are no dropping off allowed for both sides, with the lead and the title at their stake.

a GK with rates 4 & 5 is dangerous in a critical match (like in Cup or CH.L.). Be care full

Another little update on my end.

Rhondda Rovers maintain a perfect record so far in the league following a 3-0 win for the reserves against Besiktas. 14 wins, 60 odd goals scored and only 3 conceded so far.

Today's big game saw Rhondda Rovers away to FC Randombollocks in the quarter final of the TE Cup in a tricky tie that saw the opposition play in a 5-3-2 formation. It didn't work this time.



Unfortunately, bookings to Allman (now 6* after a 3 skill point increase) and Lubo mean they are suspended for the next leg of the Cup. Following the impressive win, I hope losing them is not a big blow.

[Buffs Mad]

League: Buffs FC welcome the second bottom side to Abbey Park. The Buffs stutter in a slow first half with only a strike by midfielder Dave Mackay to show for their efforts. In the second half things get frenzied as the visitors resort to type (as bottom sides do) and the fouls n bookings come fast. In the next 20 mins 3 yellows and a sending off are interrupted only by 3 goals from the Buffs in 53, 54 and 61 minutes. Buffs Mad sits back to wait for the score to tick up to the expected level but 25 mins more pass before the Buffs get the 5th just as the ref puts his whistle towards his mouth.

So 2 goals from the right winger, 2 goals from a central midfielder and 1 from the left back. Strikers? What strikers?
