Two players sold through negotiations, defender Mario Dimitrov and goalie Ronny de Vries... Dimitrov was excelent in first three seasons and then he started drinking, which affected his performances... Ronny was Youth Academy product and had some nice performances until he got 1 on 1 SA (what a mistake :rolleyes:)

I am afraid that this new training delay motivates to even more tokens buyers, and makes competing for me impossible. :(
I lost my first CL 4-3 and I couldn't attend damn :(
one of the teams in my group is a level better so it dosen't look posible to advance
Today I got my first league win (yeah first match)
it seemed like one defender didn't want to play. It took him only two minutes to recieve two yellow cards, thats some achievement right there.

My purchasing of new players is now done for the season.
I've brought in 15 new players and got them all to scout level for less than 100 tokens in total. This is at level 28.
http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/...7-19-47-33.png
Everyone in my squad is 18-22 apart from 3 players, who will all be replaced next year as they are in the last year of their contracts (even they are only 24/25 and 26 however). They are high 5 star players, who will all hit 6 star before the seasons end, but will be used as back up for my first team for this season.
I've also managed to sell all my un-needed players this season. Normally I end up having to sack a few to make room for the new players, but this season through perseverance everyone has sold.
I have one spot open in my team - as I only have 1 goal keeper (I can swap every outfield player around to make another starting line up to rotate if needed), but as I have plenty of green and red packs, unless he gets sent off (which I am yet to see a keeper do) I wont need to have another on my books. It also means that when my academy player comes in I can sell him too.
Happy with my current money. 1.66B, paying out just under 30M a day in wages, yet have got a few "watch video for cash/packs" on facebook which all but covers my wages each day, leaving all my gate receipts and other stuff to go towards that balance. I'm playing quite a few friendlies a day as well as my competitive games so money is continually rising. I'm yet to hit the situation where my incoming is exceeded by my outgoings, which is good.
Used quite a lot of my green packs to power train my keeper up - as I plan to make him a main stay in my team for years to come. Still got over 200 to use if needed, so not worried on that score. Red packs sitting at 813, which is more than enough, with cover in my team already sorted should someone get injured. Way over 1000 blues, which are probably the only packs I am not bothered about as they are useless.
13,241 Tokens left. Farming is all but over now in the UK apart from one hour a day where it seems to work. Lucky if I can add 5 tokens a day to that, but I should still be OK to start the next season with more Tokens than I started this one (I think I was around 13,280ish before this season started).
Other than replace the 3 older players in my team I don't intend to buy any new players next season. With that in mind both my finances and token count should be much better by the time I get round to buying loads of new players, which is looking to be when I hit level 30, assuming I will promote this season and next (I should do as my team is the highest ranked in my league - with only one other player near me).
Decent update at my end.
As I was driving home today, I took a random punt on a player in the hope that I could sign him. In the end, it was a punt worth taking......
Attachment 42175
He replaces Paul Morgan, who has now been sold as a result. Unless a quality ML appears on the transfer list, our business is done for the season after signing 8 players.
On to our matches and due to the strength of the opposition, our reserves were used for the match. Whilst a strong performance, I was hoping for more goals.
Attachment 42176
The injury was a blow, but he will be back tomorrow after a few red packs.
The CL match was harder than it should have been, but we eventually prevailed thanks to Chikin scoring 2 and assisting 1. Conceded the goal via the 'concedes corner again' bollocks.
Attachment 42177
One of the rival managers in my group rooted for the opposition, so aiming to do the same later on.
My reserves will be out for the league again, but I must contend with my mobile signal once again to ensure I can change my team around.
League: Buffs FC get off to a winning start with a 3-0 win but should have been more. New Striker Scores 1, makes 1 assist and rates 7: should've scored 4, the lightweight.
CL: Similar, the Buffs secured a 4-1 victory but, like last Season the strikers aren't quite up to speed. GK Goram could've had MoM if he hadn't fumbled an easy save into the net. #concentration
He was however commanding at CK and FKs. #forgiveness
Both MoMs today were DCs.
DL Andy Robertson rates 7 after 3x6s - still think he needs a rest but no cover yet. :(
The Buffs lie 3rd and take on 4th tomorrow.
More composure needed up front! Steady the Buffs!
PS. Friend and main rival (2nd last season) bought 4 Scouted players today and drew 2-2 - Scouts rated 5 (GK), 6 (DC), 7 (ST) & 8 (ST) for scorer of 2.
EDIT: Buffs Mad has decided to move away from Legends to using some Scottish Youngsters in his squad.
- MC capture is Liam Henderson, Celtic (Rosenborg on loan)
- MR/AMR recruit is Ryan Gauld, formerly Dundee United, now at Sporting CP.
- ST new boy is Jack Harper, Real Madrid.
Unbeaten to start the season with an aggregate of 20-0 after 5 matches. both keepers still sub 7 rating lol, I feel that my 2 fwds are setting the tone and there is a battle in the midfield for first team action, Defense holding clean sheets more due to weak opponents than dominating performances. All youngsters are healthy and producing at expectation or above. Star AMR 1/2 on corner shot assist attempts. Morale is confident, yet they seem unsure of themselves at time. The Greek duo looks to be a reliable back line pairing as they have started 3/5 games together.Attachment 42188

Bali United ZAFT Welcomes New Season
Bali United ZAFT, last season's Champions in League Level 4, began their adventure in Level 5 with a home match against Turkey's Mustafa FC in Bali. The Indonesian outfit looked the favorites to progress, with the additions of Sumeragi Lee Noriega, Lennon Takeo, Yuna Oshiro, as well as the ever dangerous Aila Jyrkiäinen, Nicklas Bendtner and Karin Kikuhara, not to mention club legend Onja Batsukh. Le Minh Thao, Le Huu Hoang Anh, Minyu Wu, and Harry Kane are retained from last season, whilst youngsters Namfah Yui-lue and Shizuha Doi commandeers the defense with Ali al-Saachez, Zechs Merquise, and experienced defender Handoyo Hendrawidjaja. Kira Yamato and Tran Ngo Thuy Trang are the attacking players of the team from the flanks, whilst Nguyen Phuc Khanh Linh guards the right flank. GK alternates between Aishwarya Kansakar and Fabian Delano Kurnia, as usual.
Attachment 42198
Before our cup match, we had one friendly against last season's league opponents, Zerjon United. We ran out comfortable 11-0 winners with new signing Takeo scoring a whopping 6.
Attachment 42199
The Tridatu Soldiers played their first match of the season against Mustafa FC at home, and barely 10 minutes into the game Jyrkiäinen scored to make it 1-0 that lasted until HT. In the 2nd half we were once more on the offensive, and Yuna scores to increase the lead by two. Bali United's new captain Sumeragi Lee Noriega makes it 3-0, before Mustafa pulls one back thanks to a header from defender Gomes. Kira "Jesus" Yamato, however, had other ideas. His header late in the game made it 4-1, thus allowing Bali United to hold a reasonable advantage going into the 2nd leg.
Attachment 42200
The return leg however, was much more tougher. Realizing that they must climb a huge mountain in order to progress, Mustafa purchased several new players, increasing their quality from 34 to 36. We, however, are undeterred. The 2nd leg in Antalya was an exciting affair - Nguyen "Two" Phuc Khanh Linh makes it 1-0 and 5-1 on aggregate, before the hosts fired two quick goals from Christoph and Pourjaneki. With the scoreline 2-1 and 3-6 on aggregate, it looks like Bali United are going through but they're also going to lose at the same time. Enter Captain Lee Noriega. His late strike brought the game level to 2-2, and sealed our ticket into the qualifying rounds with a 4-6 aggregate!
Attachment 42201
The next day, Bali United ZAFT made their 2nd appearance in the Kickoff Champions League as they took on Uten FC of Italy. The Tridatu Soldiers won comfortably by six goals to nil, thanks to a brace from Jesus Yamato and Lord Bendtner, with Captain Lee Noriega and Tran Ngo "Chan" Thuy Trang scoring as well. Sadly GK Aishwarya Kansakar got injured in the opening minutes of the match - thankfully Fabian Delano Kurnia managed to keep a clean sheet. After the match, Bali United announced their final signing of the first half of the season, with defender Shinn Asuka joining the team to cover for Two in the DR position.
Attachment 42202
Our opening day in the league saw Bali United travel to Germany to take on Dortmund. As expected the favorites Bali United ZAFT steamrollered their opponents 4-0, in a match packed with drama. Captain Lee Noriega makes it 1-0 after 4 minutes, before Lennon got booked in the 25th minute for a foul that caused the injury of Dortmund's Adur. Later on the 33rd minute Tagliani fouled Jyrkiäinen in the box, earning Bali United a penalty, which Captain Lee Noriega coldly executes to make it 2-0. The 2nd half opened with drama as Dortmund's Barbosa injured Chan, and got sent off for his foul and his "racist" remarks on the assistant referee. Jesus Yamato made no mistakes from the ensuing FK to make it 3-0. New signing Shinn Asuka capped off the victory by volleying in an assist from al-Saachez.
Attachment 42203
Day 2 of the league saw Bali United ZAFT play in front of their faithful supporters in Denpasar as they took on M150 FC of Thailand. The two teams are joint top of the table, with the latter claiming first place due to goal difference. I played a rather weakened side since we have an important cup match coming right up, with Jyrkiäinen, Captain Lee Noriega, Asuka, and al-Saachez benched, and Handoyo, Lord Bendtner, Minyu "Sakina" Wu, and Le Huu "Largo" Hoang Anh playing. The away team's solid defense was a trouble for Bali United, but Sakina broke the deadlock three minutes before HT, giving the home side the all important lead. On the 2nd half I decided to introduce Captain Lee Noriega, Jyrkiäinen, and al-Saachez, replacing Largo, Lord Bendtner, and Zechs Merquise. It was a substitution that paid off - Captain Lee Noriega scored on the 84th minute to make it 3-0, after Jesus Yamato executed another perfect FK to make it 2-0 on the 66th. Finally Jesus Yamato completed his brace three minutes from time - ending the match in a 4-0 victory, and ensuring the top is ours for the taking. Drama also erupted in this match as the referee sent off M150's Kasaeak and Hoult, and Lennon was injured after a foul from Munninopamas. The red packs had to come to the rescue, with an important cup match coming up and with Chan still out of comission.
Attachment 42205
The all important qualifying cup match came, and Bali United found themselves as severe underdogs as they took on Arezzo FC of Italy. Make no mistake - even though this is a 3rd level team, their quality exceeds Bali United's, with their 36 against the Tridatu Soldiers' 35. Before you know it, an exciting match ensues - a mistake from Namfah "Fahfee" Yui-lue enabled Amri to open the scoreline for the away team, forcing me to make some changes in the 2nd half. The defensive 4-1-3-2 was ditched for a more offensive 3-1-4-2, with Asuka covering Fahfee's position as DC as the latter's mistake proves too costly for him to be retained. Lennon and Jesus Yamato entered the fray on the wings. And on the 63rd minute, the breakthrough came. Jyrkiäinen with the assist and Captain Lee Noriega scored in 7 official games in a row to make it 1-1. But then drama broke out - Vivinci decided that Captain Lee Noriega is too dangerous to be retained and fouled him, causing the Captain to be stretchered off from the field - an injury that horrifies the Semeton Dewata faithful, and also forces me to put in former captain Le Minh Thao, who thankfully put up a decent performance compared to his woeful one against Uten FC. The worse thing is, Vivinci's not even booked for that offense! Jesus Yamato also floundered the ensuing FK. As the match draws to an end, even more drama broke out as Lord Bendtner fouled Arezzo's Sadiq, earning the away side an FK. Fabian Delano Kurnia saved the FK, but the ball went out for a corner. And then tragedy struck - Sakina got sent off for handling the ball with his hand in the penalty box! The ref gave Arezzo a penalty kick, which Park executes...but Delano Kurnia saves, much to the jubilation of the Semeton Dewata faithful! The match ended 1-1, and the red packs came to the rescue again for Lee Noriega - the loss of Sakina is too much for the midfield for the return match. A tough one indeed!

Think might going to let the Cup go after reaching the QF stage two seasons in a row :(
League: Shock Shock Horror Horror....
The Buffs slump to a defeat at home, losing 2-1. Buffs Mad missed the match, he's rarely there for the shocks. :(
Stats not that different except for opponents CKs and saves. Ratings not that bad but poor showing in the centre at MC and DMC produce 6s and new right winger Ryan Gauld seemed lost out there - 5 (we should've kept him for the Cup and CL until ready). Young Jack Harper scored the Buffs only goal.

L21 Team:
- League - 1 points in 2 matches. CL - 1 victory Cup - won 2-0 in away match in qualifying round
- The team's performance is not bad. No big change in roster is required. The transfer market is still difficult as forever. So I am patient on transfer as usual. My team can use 1 more defender. MC is position with priority to upgrade. Other than these, DL, ST and AML/ML can also be upgraded.
L13 Team
- League - 0 points in 2 matches. CL - 1 draw. Cup - eliminated in preliminary round in ET.
- In this season, the league and CL opponents are generally far stronger than I expected. But there is no obvious standing out team. So these competitions are very interesting. The season goals will be difficult to achieve but has no change at this moments.
- In last few matches, most players are not consistent but there is no obvious bad performer. The defenders' match ratings are relatively worse. Some of them are slightly below average in training efficiencies (in this team). So I will try to upgrade some of them. In wing position, there are two 24-25 years old slow training players. But they has been important scorers of the team and these positions are difficult to replace. So I will keep them until a good replacement player will be acquired. The left winger has sign of dropping in form. So I will pay more attention on players in this position in market.
Cup: Buffs FC scrape by for a 2-1 away win in a match that should've been a walk in the Park.
23 yo DC/DMC Alan Hansen has found his form again since last Season's slump and headed the Buffs in front on 44 mins from a Robertson CK - his 3rd goal in 3 Cup matches and another 8 rating.
18 yo Nordgen Ryan Gauld is not quite setting the heather alight with 2 shots and a dribble thwarted in the first half - replaced by Willie Henderson at HT.
The home side pulled one back on the 64th minute mark.
On 81 minutes Hansen at DMC came off and on went MC Liam Henderson to change to 4-3N-2W-1 and he scored in a fine solo counterattacking move with 1 minute left on the clock.
All 7s and 8s for the Buffs in the ratings but they're just not firing on all cylinders up front yet......again :(
draw 2-2 to an inferierer team damn :(
come on, nobody want this great winger? :rolleyes:

What's your budget for this season? 138m
Who do you want to replace? My wingers and some bench players
What are your goals for this season? Mid table and make it out of the champions league group stage.
Squad - Firstly you should know every player i get or plan on keeping i rename to an Italian lol, also this is my current squad not from day 1 of the season.
http://puu.sh/h6931/fe6b497bc8.jpg
Last season i overcame a horror start to somehow finish in a champions league place, so i had the feeling i'd be in for a tough season this time around. Also for the first time ever i made it to the cup final but lost!
Day 1 - Drew 1-1 in the cup away from home with Cossu giving us the lead 33 minutes in before being held to a draw from their 41st minute equalizer.
Day 2 - Lost 0-1 at home in the return leg of the cup! Gutted a 53rd minute winner for them to knock us out in the earliest possible round after nearly going all the way last season...
Day 3 - Champions League game 1 - Against a much stronger side and i managed to win 1-3 away from home! Sau, Baggio and Pirlo all scored for us to secure possibly 3 vital points despite only have 4 shots on target!
League game 1 - We won 1-5 away from home another great win, Baggio with a brace while Sau, Marchisio & Berardi also scored to get us off to a nice start in the league.
Our first signing of the season is Thiago Motta who shall be an extra help in the much needed midfield depth
http://puu.sh/h69CX/853b795db6.png
Day 4 - League game 2 - Our first game at home and we win easily 2-0 against a slightly weaker team, Marchisio with both the goals un assisted.

6-0 in cup no strees, so far 23 goals scored and 0 conceded in CUP..
LOL... Cup in less than 2 hours... I think that the other guy taked a look at my Dr. Rozomashviliator and despite be a +3 levels with a not very high Q. he trained.... because I see the general Q. a little bit increased..... I'm not worry if I collect a bad result,,,, now all the Cups of +3-4 levels will be the same with this update, bad teams of higher levels will play against lowwer level teams and at the end the formula is very simple:
+ level -Q = - options for league + options for Cup
With this update the League becomes more competitive and the differance between League - Cup "as important Tournament" will be reduced, because now, more than never, Low Q. teams of better level always will have this +1 point of advantadge to win the Cup....
So I don't know if Im explaining well ma viewpoint, the Cup by my viewpoint looses this magic thing because will be winned mostly for teams that usually don't compete for CL/League due low Q. and that will reach Cup Finals for surprise due the own Cup System.
Due this update I keep ma suggestion to divide the Cup, in levels of 3 to 3 as I suggested years ago.
As now training is fast and L1 can have easy a 5* player of L3 (L3 5* = L1 7* ) that can have a less active team so Cup will be a tournamente more logic and fair if Nordeus listen for 1st time a consumer and do a change.
Too theres a group in what I explain this Cup System here in the forum.
Update from my end.
Rhondda Rovers reserves played at home in the league to Aliriza and won convincingly, even if it was primarily in the second half.

AEPRE FC - Players Form Reactions
After a few matches, the manager decided that Juan Gonzalez has ruined the team's performance, so the manager has put him on the transfer market.
FC Hoofdrop has conceded for the first time this season competitively today, winning 7-1 at home in their first league home outing and 7th competitive match of the season.
Offensive stalwart Claus Jorgensen, 23, the Danish winger/fwd has left the club citing a desire for first team football in a lower league.
He will be remembered for his cup performances in seasons 2 and 3 especially, as well as scoring 4 on 2 separate occasions. Injuries had taken its toll on his training keeping him out of 15/20 of the previous matches
Attachment 42313
Currently holding a 27-1 competitive goal aggregate, FC Hoofdrop sit top of the league after 3 matches. Another striker has already been added and is seeking his debut for the club in their 2nd CL match later today. 24 year old Ronaldo has just notched 50 in all competitions making him the clubs top scorer.

CL: Buffs FC secure a 6-1 win. Buffs Mad missed the match again because he claimed he was flooring the loft. Aye, right!
Retiring old timer (he's 33 you know :) ) John Robertson, on the left wing, scored 3 and provided 2 assists. Right winger Willie Henderson scored 2 and made 1 assist. Baby Striker Jack Harper nicked a bit of the attention with a PK. ;)
Opposition left back rated 3. The right back must've been busier and had some success because he managed a 7. O.o
Buffs Mad said afterwards "I'm all itchy."
