Season 64

[cookizzz]

L20 team struggles. Loses 3 of last 5 league matches. Now it's at 5th place, and will face 6th team in half an hour.
(Update: Just won the league match. The 6th team is one of my early season choice of league winner. But it performed very badly in early season before rising up to upper part of the league table. Entering the 2nd half, its performances became bad again. I wonder if it has bad match-ups against some teams. But my team defeated it twice in this season even though its 4-1-3MC-2 is similar to the suggested formations to counter my 4-4-2 as I heard.)

The team was eliminated in both Cup & CL. From now, it will reduce squad size to decrease expenses, and focus on developing new young core players.

L12 team only loses 2 league matches in this season, including one that changes from win to loses after system crash. Not bad. It is now 1 point behind the leader.
The average age is now the youngest ever 19.6. Now I should more focus on matches rather than transfers.
In this season, the team still won most matches and has most league goals. But its defense is not good as before (almost lose 1 goal per match). It can no longer dominate matches as before.

Update on Day 21
L20 Team
Still struggling. After winning 3 consecutive matches, it just lost to 13th team on Day 21. It is disappointing as the squad just 'strengthened' with young players in several positions in recent days. Now it is tied at 4th in league. Even though the top 3 team just have about 4 more points than us, I don't see we have the momentum to catch up them at this moment.

In this season, because of some attractive token offers, all original strikers with decent performance were replaced with young 5* strikers. The new strikers' performance are not bad in match ratings but they cannot score much. The 4 new strikers played total 43 matches and scored 8 goals only!! Now I regret to have sold the all time best scorer of my team in this season for a 3 token offer. He is 24 only, scored 119 goals in less than 7 seasons (team promoted in all seasons), still well performs and well trains in early this season. Most importantly, he is a proven scorer!

The team have gradually become younger and improved in average quality in this season. But I have not yet fully figured out how to use many new players. I did not do a good job as manager in this season.


L12 Team
Performs stably in league. It stays at 2nd with one point behind the top team before the Day 21 match. Today we just won an away CL match by 4-0 in extra time and won the series by 4-3. This is exciting. Thanks to 10 friends who supported me in the match.
Update:
After finishing a carelessly arranged friendly matches, my original starters for league match tomorrow are not close to full fit for the match. At the same time, I just have 2 green packs left. As a result, most starters are replaced with poor form players. Luckily the opponent is not too strong.

Update on Day 24

L20 Team
In round 22, my team defeated the 3rd place team and took over this league position by advantage of goal difference. The team ran smoothly in last 3 matches after I started to use a new fixed line up. The new scorer of the team just injured in training. As he did not score in last league match and his match ratings were not impressive in league or friendly matches, I decided not healing him and gave the chance again to my good rating nil scoring striker to start tomorrow.

L12 Team
In 3 days, my team moved from 2nd place to 1st place, and lead with comfortable 7 points. In CL semi-final, my team was behind 0-1. Looking forward for the home match tomorrow. Hopefully the team will run CL again.
