Season 66 - Week 4

[Buffs Mad]

You've just got to feel sorry for the opponent when the engine gives them such major butt-hurt.

Jack Harper scored 2 with 1 assist and rated 7 - and quite rightly so after ballooning 2 over from the spot.

Harper was in everything good and bad Normally I would say two goals and an assist should get 8, but 50% on penalties that is bad

I agree. In the dressing room I rated him 6. 23 shots, 12 OT for the team - his assist was from a CK so he did nothing much from open play.

My DC/DR who scored the 3rd was MoM and deserved it

4 PKs, 4 bookings and an injury is a whole heap of pain.

That's nuts! Four PKs!?!?!?!?!

Is that a record :roll eyes:

Also 6 draws? I swear most people couldn't get that many if they tried. I feel for you man, it seems like Nordgen is trolling you this season!

But in the other group, things didn't go well, for me, and now I am facing Castle which is a level higher and 10 skills better

now you must study the 2 games he lost
He has great players names (he must be old school player like me )
but wth is Materazzi doing among the others

Maserati isn't that a car?

any who! I really got some homework to do, just to have a chance

Be careful trash talking of Materazzi and the hands of Maradona.
Also suspect Platini - must have good relations with the referees

ok, no jokes now. 4-5-1 V, def/counter/flanks/long pass looks perfect for his formation.

Update my end and a case of the purely unexpected on two ends.

Rhondda Rovers main team played the last Champions League game against our group rival, Big FC, for top spot. Unfortunately, I was unable to watch the match and we lost 2-1. However, due to a 2-0 win over them in the previous game, we finished top of the group and progress to the next round.



Probably didn't help that we were dirty bastards mind.

Now for the League game. Unfortunately, due to being in work and completely forgetting, the same team and tactics used for the CL match were in effect, which was worrying as there would have only been one rest period between the matches and, despite the quality difference (they are a Q18 or so while mine's Q32), my players being tired and possibly dropping morale after the defeat should have made the match that bit harder (especially as they've only dropped 5 points all season).

Purely unexpected number one:



Earlier this morning well, after a generally shocking transfer market that has seen very little good players worth looking at, it was a case of waiting ages for a bus and two come along at the same time.

Purely unexpected number two. We made two strong signings as a result. Firstly, a 19yo ST with freekick SA and should hit 6* by the end of the season that cost 3.8M and, breaking my own rule due to a check to see if the other manager who last second bidded with was still there or taking a quick punt, 2T:



This saw the recent signing Pichinot leave for just under 2.5M.

Secondly, an 18yo MC that is very close to 6* and cost just shy of 5M and 1T:



After strong consideration of which three of my four MC to sell (the 22yo that gets good rating and Q33 close to Q34, the 20yo that also gets good ratings and Q33, but has had injury concerns, or the 19yo with Playmaker SA who can be hit and miss with ratings at Q32 and recent injury concerns). In the end, for better or worse, the 19yo was sold for just shy of 4M.

What! but why? he can make the most and longest progress
