Season 65

Update at my end.

First match of the day was the second leg of the Cup against a stronger team in Mehmet FC with the tie poised at 3-3 (I had 3 away goals), so all to play for both teams. As expected, his little chums gave them a helping hand.

Attachment 43361


























Bye bye!! :D :D

Attachment 43362

A great victory for the Rovers and we proceed to the semi finals with a strong chance of winning the Cup twice in succession.

The reserves plus Lubo, Del Portillo and Chikin (Lubo and Del Portillo were banned for the Cup game and Chikin didn't play due to the formation used) played the league game against RC Deportivo. In the end, a good 4-0 victory with Chikin getting a hat trick.

Attachment 43364

and then there were four ...
I don't know how this happened in the Cup. I finished last season with 14 6* players and now I 'm playing in the semi final :)
The other 3 teams are 1 lv above (12) and have teams with 6* players and few 7*, my team has 6* players, so everything is possible :p

Well congratulations, that's a badass victory!

Champions League: Bali United ZAFT has managed themselves a slender yet important advantage over their opponents, Germany's MrDheitoRVL FC, in the Champions League quarter finals. Playing away, my boys managed to score a shocking 2-3 victory against the resilient hosts. Shocking considering my rather inconsistent form lately and my opponent has an almost flawless run of games in the same time period. Le Huu "Largo" Hoang Anh scored twice in three minutes to make it 2-0, before Mesyam Mansourabadi pulled one back in the 34th minute. Hyung-Seok Kim almost made me suffer a heart attack with his blistering equalizer, but Onjira Uttaponkarndee sealed the winner with a late header. Feeling really confident heading into the 2nd leg at home!!

Attachment 43373

Next up is a league match against Ercan FC at Denpasar. One of the more stronger teams in the league, we beat the Turks 2-1 at their own backyard, but somehow over time the manager decided to do this with his team...

Attachment 43374

Whoops :p

Thanks.

LOST again to Blitz FC in Champions League 2-0 away when i can't attending the matches at 5 am ... it's difficult now :( but i still believe in Lord Nordeus.

CL: Buffs FC slip with a 1-0 loss away in the Quarter Final first leg.

Although the Buffs tried to keep the ball the home side exerted more of the threat - and probably deserved the win.

Note: After making coffee, and on the way to my PC, the game flashed up on my mobile so I logged in before kickoff and was in the process of switching to PC when the game started. Once logged on I saw that I had an injury in 2 mins and Otto Teem had replaced him.

Yet another minimum rest time for the Buffs as they play 2nd in the league.

Steady the Buffs!

EDIT: That injury keeps the run going - 6 in 6 days after having been left alone for so long. ;)

League round 17
We defeated Blewh Fc 2-0 away and claim 1st place the 1st times after 13 rounds. but it isn't the end yet.
Blewh has nothing to worried about, but we have to face #3 # 4
we can only drop 2 pt at max.
Attachment 43375

I could not actively attend matches, monitor performances, change starting line up, arrange training, sending gifts to friends, etc. for several days in last week. Both my teams very badly performed during this period.

After this period, my teams' performances slightly improved。 At least they can win or draw some matches. But I feel difficult to identify some consistent performers among the bad form players and rebuild a core starting lineup. Besides, T11 friends who support me in matches also obviously decrease.

My L21 Team gradually resumed normal performance, but it needs to perform even better to climb to top 7 or top 4. In CL, it has good chance to reach top 4.
Attachment 43376


My L13 Team is still very inconsistent. But its league is even closer. Except champion or worse team, anything is still possible.
Attachment 43377

From season beginning, I noticed that the 2 leagues that my teams involved have many similar and quite high quality teams, and expected that this will be a difficult but interesting season. After more than half season, I further noticed that there are more than 10 very active teams in each of these leagues. Comparing with my teams, many teams are lower in average quality, but have a stronger starting line up (My L21 team is full of 5* and my L13 team have about half of the starters just reaching 6*)

I still feel it is interesting, but even more difficult than I expected.

League: The Buffs, as they often do, hold their nerve in the crunch league tie to beat second 3-1. Just need to get rid of theses stupid draws.

Second, the old third, now move to third and third, the old second, become the new second, 2 pts behing us - who were the old first, the new first and remain just first.

Unfortunately right winger Willie Henderson has now picked up his umpteenth injury (think its 8 in competitive matches but I must check) in his 164 games for the Club. His injury prone quality was sustainable while we had light injury seasons but now we've had 7 injuries in 6 days its likely he'll be moved on after this season - whether he maintains/increases his season average rating of 7.68 or not.

Oops, what happened was Henderson scored from range, Harper nodded in a Robertson cross, opponents' stroke home a penalty to reduce the decifict then Harper converted a late penalty to seal the deal. Opposition manager made 2 formation changes but Buffs Mad seemed content with 451v until the 3 Striker came on and shut things down with a defensive 4141. Job Done.

Here's the Stats

http://i62.tinypic.com/ebbigm.jpg

PS. There have been quite a few penalties in recent matches O.o

League: A fine display was shown by the boys of Bali United ZAFT as we smashed Turkey's Ercan FC six goals to nil at Denpasar earlier today. The opponent manager's decision to abandon his team (presumably for tanking purposes) left me with the ability to experiment with a few flank-based formations - starting off as an attacking 4-4-2 before switching to 4-3w-3 along the way. Passing are focused towards the flanks, with both ML and MR getting red arrows, and the DR-DL getting alternated between reds and blues. Tran Ngo "Chan" Thuy Trang starts as the initial ML of the game, before being replaced at HT by Lennon Takeo in order to boost the team's overall firepower. A substitution that paid off as Takeo bounces back from all the criticism that he and Chan got after their disappointing display in the defeats to Imron FC and Dortmund as well as the Dream Team draw - by scoring a brace and bagging the Man of the Match award. Captain Lee Noriega recovers from a goal drought to score the team's second goal, while Le Huu "Largo" Hoang Anh continues his superb form lately by scoring the opener. Aila Jyrkiäinen passes off an opportunity to end his own drought by assisting Karin Kikuhara's 9th league goal as well as the team's third, while a rare teamwork between defenders Shizuha Doi and Nguyen "Two" Phuc Khanh Linh enables the latter to add to the rout before Takeo bags his brace.

Attachment 43383

An away match to another abandoned team awaits, this time we travel to Bucharest to take on Maria Violeta FC. Gonna experiment once again by testing out a 4-2-2-2 Hexagon for tomorrow's match.

After this result today, (very :p) early in the morning, I'm preparing for the semi finals of CH.L.
4-5-1V, def/counter/flanks worked great against the three DC of my oppo, my wingers made a party and my ST great job.

Attachment 43385

still cannot understand those rates for GKs :confused:
oppo GK conceded 5 goals, made 2 saves and got an 8 :eek:

In the cup game yesterday oppo GK conceded 2 goals, made 8 saves and got a 7 :confused:
Attachment 43386

* I didn't watch the game so I don't know anything about the comments
* I still don't get used that idea of rates. Every time I see those things, I remember when I sold my GK some seasons ago.
He got 5-6 rates of 5 in a row matches while he conceded only 1-2 goals :p

Just as the treble door begun to open for us with the only stronger team than us remaining in the Cup being eliminated yesterday and also us winning 3-0 in the CL QF 1st leg... We then suffer a rather 'troll' 3-0 loss at home in the league, Yes the team we lost to is capable of defeating us, but they have had a horrible season by their team quality suggests and we already beat them 3 times this season including a 4-0 win.

We are now 1 point ahead of Blue Eyes and 6 points ahead of both Janderinho & Ramsay Cabs, We face Blue Eyes tomorrow away in the league, it's a must win game for us now.

I wasn't to optimistic today because in CL I faced a much stronger team, actually the team that eleminated me in the cup,

league went well.
but but, what about the impossible CL match?

Attachment 43387

Well here are some more facts about this incredible result
Attachment 43388Attachment 43389Attachment 43390Attachment 43391

Wel I almost got angry when my two goal score gets injured right after second goal, how typical. But United was on a roll and just keept going.
As you can't se the replacement striker actually became MOM, well isen't that ironic, don't you think?

With this result it is actually possible to advange, but to early for to optimistic hopes.

An excelent result never the less. There most be an very angy T11 manager out there right now :rolleyes: but not me I am Happy Happy

League: 2:2 draw against 3rd, moves us back into a tie for 1st, which we hold on the backs of a +8 goal differential. Advantage over 3rd is 3 points. Opponent changed formation right before kickoff to a 3w-4-3; we started in a 4-5-1 V, changing to a 4-1-1-2w-2 before making a pair of subs for a 4-4-2 classic. We never trailed in the match, but opponent pulled even in the 86th minute, scoring off a double corner.

Champions: 7:1 away victory. I played a 4-5-1 V-style against opponents 3n-4-1-2.

We continue to score a lot of goals, meanwhile defensively the goalkeeping remains a mystery, having difficulty keeping clean sheets against even the weaker league competition.

Mini update my end.

Rhondda Rovers had the Champions League tie away to team name I can't remember earlier today and started off with a defensive 4-1-4-1 formation. However, a poor start that saw us 2-0 down at half time prompted a change of personnel, with Voulgaris coming off and Chikin coming on to partner Haberkorn up front in our regular 4-4-2 formation. It seemed to pay off as the result ended 2-2 (with us away), but Haberkorn had an unusually poor game (he did miss a couple of one on ones before scoring), getting a rating of 6 for the first time I remember since signing him at the beginning of season 2.

Attachment 43403

In the League, it was business as usual as the reserves beat Dayerson 5-0 at their place to remain 10 points clear at the top, Chikin showing how it's done with two goals and an assist.

Attachment 43404

Just remembered why I don't like playing friendlies. I get too competitive.

http://i58.tinypic.com/5o8uad.jpg

That's 4 injuries for me today EDIT - in 4 matches, 2 in 2 competitive games and 2 in 2 friendlies :(

PS I was trying to score as many goals as possible in the friendlies to see how much room was left for 'non-goal' comments, but I obviously over-did it

League: Another day, another three points for the boys of Bali United ZAFT as we eased past Romania's Maria Violeta FC 7-0, with a surge of four goals coming in the last 10 minutes. Captain Lee Noriega opened the scoreline with a penalty, before Onjira Uttaponkarndee assisted Yuna Oshiro for the second. The real star of this match is Kira "Jesus" Yamato, he scored one spot-on free kick and a brilliant lob as well as creating an assist to clinch the Man of the Match award. Karin Kikuhara also scored, as Aila Jyrkiäinen finally ends his goal drought. Heck, even Lord Bendtner joined in the fun! Entering the pitch in the 88th minute, he headed in Jesus Yamato's free kick in the 90th minute the close the rout!

Attachment 43408

Even though I'm delighted with this victory, I'm also quite pissed at the two injuries that I got in this match. That's right, TWO! All of them hitting my important MCs. First of all Minyu "Sakina" Wu was fouled by Mohamed Shams and is out for 6 FREAKING DAYS with an ACL tear. And Shams' not even booked! Later in the 2nd half, his replacement, Captain Lee Noriega, inexplicably injured himself, I mean WTF?! Thankfully he's only out for two days, something that some reds could help out tomorrow before our crucial crunch CL tie against MrDheitoRVL FC. With a slim 2-3 advantage, we need all the men that we've got for this 2nd leg!

And for Nordeus...

Goals and saves don't define a GK performance - they might play a part, either small or big. GK performance also comes from other activities such as catches, smothers, etc

A goal occurs. You can't assume liability for the GK. There is opportunity and expectation - could he have saved it, should he have saved it? Dependng on the answer there will be varying degrees of responsibility or blame on GK's part.

So, a Save prevents a goal? Yes. So it must be a good thing? Err no - it might be or it might not. A GK who stretches every sinew to tip a shot on target over the bar for a CK is a good thing; a gk who doesn't make an easy catch of a shot on target and knocks it out for a CK might be a bad thing (particularly if they score from the CK)but if he holds on to it might be good or neutral.

So comments can define if its good or bad? Mibees aye mibees naw. (Translation: Yes and No.) >.< Commentary can sometimes help understand some of the events but they represent a very small part of a game. Some comments must be included eg goals. That doesn't mean they representative of the individuals performance.

It all requires interpretation of something which is incomplete - neither goals, stats, ratings or comments completely describe a game.

Its no surprise that we find ratings for Strikers easier to accept because a big part of their ratings is black n white - goal or no goal, assist or not - the times we might doubt them is when there are other 'quality' issues, like opportunity and expectation. ;) A Goal by a Striker will never be bad unlike a GK save.

My, that's a helluva long way of saying who knows - just accept the ratings, stats, comments etc as your best chance of managing; keeping a large supply of Toll-Away by your side ofc.

My GK had a slow day today, mostly because he just stood there between the posts drinking coffee lol

Attachment 43429

League: clear 1st by 5 points
Cup: On to Semis with an easy 11-1 agg, decent opponent inc.
C.L.: toughest match of the season tomorrow, 2nd away leg 1-1 aggregate. Switching to a ND vs 3n412 should help.

if i was you, i would play a friendly matches with a similar quality team to test his form. if he failed to get 7 then you must be careful, flop in a matches like this doesn't make any badly but even with a team -1 Star you should have a trouble

I usually alternate between keepers though. So he's definitely going to sit the next match out. My other GK's last game is a 6 though...so yeah I'm pretty much concerned right now.

I 'll tell you how it works because I test it the first days I download and started playing t11.
After playing few months civfree, a free edition of Civilization for android, where I found a cheat how get 1 M' $ in the start of the game, I was looking some cheat for t11 too (to buy some 5* for my crap lv1 team :p ).
Had no idea yet for the facebook edition or the forum. I found in the google many of those advs, download the first mask, had a couple of more steps and then it was asking (to give me the password) to download a program (probably a malware) or to give my mobile number.
It was obviously suspicious but I had a second mobile, not with connection & bill, but with few credits. I gave this, it was sending some bull**** messages, eat my 2 $ and nothing next :D
So, stay away from all that, it's a big fraud :o

League: Buffs FC win 2-1 at home in the league v 5th to stay top.

The Buffs went behind near the end of the 1st half when the opposition converted a FK after MC Henderson was booked - but hit back immediately, prior to the interval, with Hansen bulletting a header in from a Morrison cross.

Goal a game Striker Dalglish was out of sorts up front and 18 yo Jack Harper emerged after the interval. Harper scored the winner 20 mins later with a breakaway solo effort. James Morrison joined his midfield partner in the book and both he and Henderson are suspended for the next match. The Buffs went close twice late on but settled for the narrow win.

2nd drew and 3rd lost so the Buffs are now 4pts clear.

Harper now sits joint top of the Scorers' Chart, clings on to 4th on Assists and leads the MVP listing. Dalglish is the Buffs' only other charter in 4th for goals and second on assists.

Steady the Buffs!

Tiny update my end.

As there was only one match today, the main team got their first match in the League and, bar an early Shivyakov injury, it was an emphatic win against an abandoned team.

Attachment 43456

Interestingly Boons, who came on as the sub ML, got Man of the match after scoring 2 goals, despite Chikin scoring 4 and assisting 1.

Champions League: WE ARE THROUGH TO THE SEMI FINALS!!!!

For the first time in their brief history, Bali United ZAFT advances into the semi final stage of a knockout competition on T11 after beating MrDheitoRVL FC 2-1 at Denpasar, winning 5-3 on aggregate. Lennon Takeo opened the scoreline in the 13th minute, but Andy Pearce equalizes two minutes into the 2nd half. However a defensive error on the away side lead to a double corner, which Karin Kikuhara heads in to clinch victory and passage into the semi finals!!

Awaiting us in the last 4 is the winner of the tie between es FC and Crazy Rider FC. At 41.7 and 41.6 respectively, these two teams are the strongest teams in the competition! Need a lot of good luck to get past either of these guys!

Awesome! Never beaten a stronger team tho this season, so wish me luck for the semis!

Signed a new AML/AMC in the dying minutes before my league game, 29 year old Frenchman Rau Le Creuset. He is projected to replace Chan as the team's AML/AMC and as a back-up for Takeo, and I'm also training him to be an ST.

Attachment 43472

Rau made his immediate debut as a substitute replacing a fatigued Kira Yamato in our league match against Jose FC. We ran out easy 8-1 winners, with a hat-trick from Captain Lee Noriega, a brace from Lennon Takeo, and goals from Aila Jyrkiäinen, Jesus Yamato, and Rau making his scoring debut.

Why would you traine a new role on sutch an old player? I just don't understand. why not buy a new, it will take forever to get 50 skillpoints
