Season 66 - Week 4

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

I was thinking that as I normally like to keep a young team, but his form has always been patchy in comparison to the other two and he has started to get injured a bit as well. I personally don't think it will be that big a loss.

We finish the group in 2nd place; lost the head to head tie-breaker. Doesn't matter much that we finished 2nd, instead of 1st. Only real advantage, is a better round of 16 matchup. However, its all survive and advance anyways and we survived the group stages! Granted, the group really only consisted of 2 teams.

Might be a good idea to do some power training at a position not named striker!!!



Suffered our first league defeat. I used 4-5-1 V-style; opponent used 3n-1-4-1-1. We're currently in 1st, 3 points ahead of Rexio!

What are your goals for this season?
L22 – League Top 4 and Cup Top 8
L14 – League Champion and Cup Top 8
For both teams, the goal will be subject to review if I cannot actively participate.

Quick Update before I cannot manage my team on next 2 or 3 days.

In this season, both my teams were placed interesting leagues with most teams with similar qualities (usually within 3 or 4 quality point difference only). I have less time to manage in this season. However, as both of them need not participate CL, I am rather relax and enjoy.

L22 Team


The performance is far better than expected in this season. After day 13, it leads in league by 6 points and is preparing the 2nd Top16 Cup match

Because of difficulties in acquiring players through auctions (my only channel), about half of the players are still 4 star (including 4 just reached the up-star line). Average quality just reaches 5 stars. This is ranked around 4 or 5 in this league. New players are not young. The average age of the team increased to 22.6 (last season was about 20.5). Several 4 star players play very well & stably and are important to the success of the team in this season.

As there are less matches, less forced squad rotations for consecutive matches are required. I think stable lineup helps maintaining team form. Poor form players have chances to sit out and recover. For example, one of my DR played very badly in friendly matches in early season. He was not assigned to play in first few days. Since he starts to play again, he has not yet performed below match rating 7.

L14 Team


Sadly the team was knocked out of Cup in qualifying (2nd) round, and only placed 3rd in league at this moment. But performances of players are generally satisfactory. In terms of qualities, my team does not have clear advantage but is one of the deepest and youngest team (average age 19.5) as usual. Comparing with last 2 seasons, there are less squad changes. My deep squad allowed me to sit out new or badly performing players and maintain consistent performance of the team.

But my team has some up & down in last few matches. It had good wins against the 5th and 1st (a big 6-1 win) team but lost to 4th and 7th teams. I am glad that it is competitive in all these matches and no player has o

Yes United did it, they finally got the bus parked.

the crowd was ecstatic , because this was announced in the game program, and what a bus


maybe it ill just stay parked there for the rest of the day, just for show

and now back on top of the league (Sporting drawed, and we overnight leaders)

[Gabez Teh]

Gert: Parked last season what took u so long?

[Gert Funck]

Oh, what a steal

[Gabez Teh]

HUUH I DID IT! Got best avarage (yet) Oppo in Cup 16 (who else? )

first game was a tight 1-1 at away!

and home: at 70th minute i gave up

and miracle happened 5 minutes later, my young talent AMC got the opportunity and shot a rocket from far away!

OOOH and look whos injured! GUYS! really?

[Buffs Mad]

League: Buffs FC win 2 games in a row \o/ to squeeze up closer to a CL spot >.<

After a 2-0 away win v 4th yesterday to get within 4 pts a 3-1 win today, alongsides 4th's second defeat, gets the Buffs to within 1 pt. It also closes the gap to the leader from 13 to 10 pts but we've given up on the title.....while still secretly hoping for a miracle

Cup: A 6-0 home win in the Cup was marred only by a 2 day injury to Striker Jack Harper after 2 mins. Unfortunately Buffs Mad didn't notice it and new reserve striker Stephen Naismith had to wait until the 31st min to mark his debut.

Jim Baxter, ML, opened the scoring on 30 mins before James Morrison, MC, closed out the half with a strike for 2-0. Morrison's midfield partner Liam Henderson was relieved of CK duties and responded with a goal on 49 mins which ultimately lifted his recent poor performances (rating 8). DMC Hansen headed home a CK from new corner taker Ryan Gauld, MR, before Naismith, ST, marked his debut with a goal, assisted by Morrison.

So young Harper is stuck on 31 goals, 12 assists and 11 MoM while Morrison improves to 7 goals, 15 assists and 2 MoM.

Tomorrow sees the Buffs take on 7th in the league so that'll be a draw then.

Mini update my end.

Rhondda Rovers main team went up against ID FC in the second leg of the Cup. Unfortunately, I was unable to watch the match but it looked relatively easy as we took a two goal lead to make it 4-1 on aggregate and two away goals to me. Only four goals from them would give them the tie. Despite two late goals, we won 4-3 on aggregate and progress to the next round.



A good positive was new signing Sevilla scoring and getting an 8 on his debut. Hopefully he continues like this.

In the League, the reserves went up against Langenwedding something at home and once again, I forgot to watch the match as I dozed off. However, it seems that it was an easy match as we won 3-0.



Hotz had a good debut as well, scoring a goal and assisting another to receive his 8 rating.

[nikolgiorgos]

OOOH and look whos injured! GUYS! really?
