Here is my Champions League draw. I am more than a full star better than all but one remaining team at this point, of course someone could do a lot of training and I am definately not done growing but so far it looks pretty promising for our first ever CL title after two bitterly disappointing finals losses to teams of similar quality to ours. Our closest rival appears to be S Leon FC with an avg of 36.8 or just under a star below our 41.2 avg though our starting 11 is considerably better and makes the gap much higher.

My starting 11 avg 44.04 as of this moment. Which is 7.24 points above the best team avg of the other 15 teams. That is more than 8 points better than what I faced in last years final and more than 6.5 better than the first lost final. Here's to hoping it is enough or and I coast to the title.

I am not very optimistic about winning the treble in the future. The cup just gets harder as you get better so my only chance is to possibly save up a ton of green packs and real money. Wait for the draw, and then train my starting 11 from 5-6* to 9*'s. Not the most ethical way and even then not a guarantee.

So far I have flubbed back to back CL finals so I have yet to win the career treble much less the single season lol. Though not many get the experience of winning the cup their 1st two seasons or winning it at all so I should probably stop the whining.

Just keep going. In Seasons 1-5 I didn't really give the Cup much thought beyond trying my best with the team I was developing - I just accepted the 3 levels above cups and savoured the occasional triumph in a Round. During that time I had an alt account that I used to test things on and played various defensive counterattacking options before deciding to use some of them in the Cup. I started making better progress. Season 9 was the hardest to take because I was competitive in all 3 competitions but came away with nothing. Ofc losing in the Cup Final in S10 on PKs wasn't nice but it was my best result at that time. Iirc it was in Season 11 I decided to change tactics and do "Cup Q-manipulation Lite" by loading in 2 FAs + 1 Academy Free and deciding to carry over 14 players. Ofc chance would have it I actually won the damn thing in ET before I could enact it. Then by some weird quirk of fate my 4Q lowered team managed to get in a Lvl 16 Cup in S12 (probably just a weird 1* lvl 16 side sneaked in then got knocked out but I didn't notice it). It was just a piece of bad luck that one of the 2* level 14 teams 'woke up' bought 14 5* youngsters and left me licking my wounds again with a defeat in ET against a 7/8* team. In S13 I can't decide whether I should label it troll or just accept my Strikers had turned to crap (they had). It could so easily have been 4 Cups in a row - but it was just 1. Such is life and T11.

Systems do work - I've had a level 16 Cup for 3 seasons now but sometimes your luck is just not in.

Whining is good, its even better if you can let it add to your entertainment.

Update

The powers that be didn't want it to happen, as the Buffs struggled in the Cup to exert dominance, but regardless they came away with a 1-0 win to progress to the next round. The opposition may have been crap, and the Buffs attempts to despatch them may have been too, but at least the team avoided their ratings being sullied as they all still gained 7s and 8s.

Old Timer, left winger, John Robertson, who will retire at the end of the Season, was the first to fall at the feet of the regenerative beasties as he broke a leg - 18 days out. "Aye right" said Buffs Mad, "someone call Eileen Drewery....quickly!"

Steve Nicol also succumbed with an injury (4 days) but at least young Jack Harper got an opportunity to stroke home the resulting penalty.

The Buffs march on.

Steady the Buffs !

-----------------------------

Oh! and after a 5-0 win in the league earlier put them in the lead the Buffs then retained top spot as the leaders slumped to a second defeat. Lets hope the new consignment of "Troll-Away" is delivered before the next round of matches in the league and CL

Today's update from my end.

Rhondda Rovers first task of the day was to try and progress into the next round of the Cup following a 4-3 win at their place in the first leg. The tie was practically over after the second minute as Lubo scored a free kick, meaning they would need to score three goals to qualify for the next round. However, another goal mid way through the second half sealed it and we advance into the quarter finals to play Mehmet FC, a majority scout buyer.

The League match saw our reserves go up against Jerez Industrial, who were in the top 4 prior to today. However, either due to manager inactivity or just forgot, the reserves romped to an easy win. Next up is the main match of the League. Away to Jack Twats, who have had some very strong victories recently and are even close to matching my goals for record (which considering the difference in teams is very impressive). The tackling will be increased to hard just for this.

The Champions League draw has generally been very favourable to us as the team we face is not that much stronger than the league teams I've played. However, I have been trolled before and hope that it will not happen in this match.

League: Got my first troll result of the season loooool

Am currently away to the prefectural capital to see my local team play and on the way my important league match against Imron FC started. Naturally I fired up my Top Eleven 2015....and it kicked me out right on the match screen with "Connection Closed, do you want to reconnect?" I mean WTF?! My signal's full, got a full 4G, but my Top Eleven 2015 kicked me out. When I finally managed to reach the match screen, it's 0-0. Immediately I switched over to hard attacking, down both flanks (am playing a 4-5-1 V against a weaker 4-4-2 ND, my 35.7 against his 33.2), but as I saved...."Connection closed, do you want to reconnect?" Bloody game kicked me out, again. When I logged in again, the game recorded my presence (and a friend of mine who's supporting me), BUT IT DIDN'T RECORD MY TACTICAL CHANGE. Tried to replace an underperforming Chan with Lennon Takeo, but the game won't allow me! So I had to watch as Chan performed a fatal mistake that enabled Imron FC to score the only goal of the game.

screenshot to follow once I return home.
