    Mini update my end.

    Rhondda Rovers main team said Ciao to Ciao FC in the Champions League as the rout was sealed at home with a 5-1 win, meaning that we qualify for the next round 9-1 on aggregate, though at the cost of losing Aleksic to injury in the match.

    Interestingly, I play Meltano in the next round, who happens to be on my friends list. In the last day or so, they have undergone a huge amount of transfer activity and have become a stronger team as a result. This could be an interesting tie.

    In the League, the reserves played Andia at their place and started off well following a goalkeeping cock up to give me the lead in the 4th minute. However, though it was a good start, this is a team that scored two of my three goals conceded in the League all season. Thankfully, no jitters came about and we won comfortably in the end with a 4-0 victory.

    Season 66 - Week 4-te11-12-clr162ndleg.jpg

    Wasn't able to attend the match, but won anyways 3:0 (7:0) aggregate.

    Unfortunately DC/DMC Redknap picked up a 4 day injury (leaving us with only 5 defensive players), and Holy's yellow means he must sit out the first leg of the qtrs. Could be worse though, it could have been my 9* striker getting injured...

    Decision time: Despite having 6 stars of quality, Redknap probably won't start the QTRS (if healthy). However, since options are limited in the back, should I expend the reds to roster depth, if necessary.

    Bizarre stat: This marks the 15th consecutive game we haven't injured an opposing teams player! This should be a good sportsmanship achievement or something!!!

    EDIT: League match. Picked up 3 points with neither team suffering an injury. Make this 16 straight w/o injuring the opposition... We're now 10 points clear of 2nd, as they continue to scuffle after beating us 4 days ago.

    My L22 team just suffered the 3rd consecutive losses in official matches, including 2 league matches. The lead may soon be reduced to 1 point. This is not surprising as the qualities of my starters are often clearly lowered than the league opponents. Reasons of poor performances includes goal drought of strikers in last 3 matches and choices of MC were greatly limited due to many injuries and suspensions. The forms of front court players are biggest concerns at this moment.

    Generally, I like the players in this full squad team. But positions like GK, DC, MR are not really arranged for rotations. Some changes for short & long term are necessary. I am considering replacing a striker to seek for more goals in short term, upgrading young but slow training 4 star DL, and selling a GK, DC or DR to spare a player slot for academy players.

    CL (yesterday): Buffs FC do what's necessary in a 1-1 draw at home to progress 3-1 on agg.

    'Resting' Striker Jack Harper came off the bench to plop a FK on MC Morrison's head for the equaliser. GK Craig Gordon was busy and gained pass marks, but didn't shine - 7. (!5 shots, 5 on target, 5 CKs, 0 FKs, 1 goal against + all the other stuff a GK does/deals with that isn't recorded.)

    Note to Opposition Manager, again: Your 8* ST still needs a rest.

    *Sneaky Edit*

    Cup: Buffs FC win 2-0 at home in the Cup for a 6-1 aggregate. This match saw the Buffs Judicial Panel come off the Bench for a start: Forrest, MC, Anya AML; Maloney, AMR; Naismith, ST - all recording uninspiring 7s in the ratings.

    DMC Alan Hansen marked his 250th game for the Buffs with the opener and the Magnum. It was one of those mazey, full pitch dribbles and finishes that (only) T11 DMCs do so well. >.< Obviously the Commentator didn't know what was coming as he twice exclaimed "He may go all the way" - as if there was any doubt.

    Right and Left Wingers Gauld & Baxter came on for the last 15 mins - Baxter added the second 4 mins from time.

    In the league later the Buffs welcome 3rd to Abbey Park.

    Buffs, Alan Hansen is past it. Have you seen in on MOTD recently?
    But, I like your idea of renaming your players after your favourites. Must have a few tokens to spend, but, then that adds fun to the game. My team is Mansfield Town (English League div 2 and not doing well) so to rename my players will probably make them play worse.

    Yeah. Think it was Hansen that said "You can't win anything with kids." He was talking about the breakthrough of Scholes, the Nevilles, Beckham, Butt etc into Man Utd. >.<

    I used to stick to the more traditional Scots favorites names (Bremner, Dalglish, McGrain, Souness etc), just lately I've started adding some current players and youngsters - got tired of seeing the same names
