Season 66 - Week 4

[Buffs Mad]

Unfortunately all saves are not equal. I'm not a fan of talking about football irl in relation to t11 since there is not much of a link but cat-like reflexes to tip an 'unstoppable' shot over the bar is completely opposite to a shot straight at the GK that is flapped out for a CK - but both are on target and classed as saves and would've went in if the guy wasn't there. But flapper won't get a good rating in the Press if thats typical. On TV we can see when a GK should come out but doesn't, when he does but misses or comes out and collects it....T11 only occasionaly tells us of the latter, if we believe it.

I've had 1 or 2 GKs in the past that I thought they are great (last 3 Seasons), others that were bad (season 2 in particular) and many that I thought I just don't know becauae I had good teams boring the crap out of my GKs.

But I won't persevere with a GK that gets regular 5s or below - unless it was a Scout market one needing to get those bad days out of his system. 4s and 5s are an alert - whether you think its important enough to change is a decision.

There's just too many gaps in the information we have about GKs. Commentary highlights and Save stats just don't do the job.

Anyway, I must be boring you all on this topic because I'm boring myself so I'll shut up

First defeat of the season today, in Champions League.
It was one of that games that the presence of the manager not only helps but maybe can harm the team.
After few (game) minutes, when I saw that the other manager wasn't watching, I set my formation from a 4-5-1V, counting his positions and flanking from the right side. I set my AML/AMC/AMR playing as a right AMC (because he had a DMC playing in the left side) and counters from the right side.
Nothing - Only yellow cards, lost shots and injuries
Near the end I passed a second ST and set attacking mentality so conceded a second goal



very bad rates and mom title to his DR completed the logic of that game - lol


the team going for relax with tomorrows brake but the question is
was it a bad day for me or it's a voodoo formation

I had 100% shot efficiency in my Champions League match today - but it wasn't that difficult to achieve in a defence-heavy game...

Won the first CL Qf away from home 3-0. Seemed to get the tactics right from the start, and dominated all round the park even though our Quality is pretty similar. However I'm concerned about a player I might possibly meet in the final. He took out the highest seed in the last round of playoffs, and now he's destroyed another high quality team 4-0.

ARGGHHHHHH. SOMEONE TAKE HIM OUT, TAKE HIM OUT NOW



But yea anyway, I'll deal with him when/if the time comes.
In the league news, I played at home to fourth place today. It was a pretty bland game, he seemed to do nothing, and I seemed to have heaps of shots, but the stats ended up near even.
Still holding onto 1st by 3 points, and I play 2nd place in a few days. That could possibly decide the league.
For the immediate time, I have matches against a few lower teams, so hopefully I can get a good GD again!!




On another note. Has anyone had a massive pick up in injuries lately?
In the first 16 days of the season I had 1. Now in 3 days I've had 6. 5 of those to my starting team, majority of them are in the mid field.
MY REDS HAVE RUN OUT. DO NOT PANIC. THIS IS NOT PANIC STATIONS.

Help me.

League: 1:1 draw against 6th.

Champions: 3:0 road victory, giving us a commanding advantage.

We picked up an injury to Mexican DC/DMC Edgar Cruz during the league match. This brings our match based injury count to 7, more than triple that of our opposition, whom have accumulated only 2 from 32 matches; including none in 19 consecutive matches.

This must the highest quality starting up I ever used. I am surprised when I noticed this.


I usually choose starters based on the player forms and positions rather than their average qualities. In general, only about half of the 6 star players will be starters. I am sure I never start 9 six star players.

This is my Level 14 35T(plus 2, I have a video to watch in last 2 days) team. Its average age is 19.5. I think there are many fast trainers but I have not verified because I seldom train them practice match or compare with fast trainer benchmarks. I very rarely power train players, but they naturally grow quite quickly. The variation in qualities of my squad is not large.

My team lost 2 matches in a row in league, and dropped to 5th place. I will play against the leading team later today. I changed the formation to play against the opponents' 4-1-3-2. Hopefully, their performance will improve.

As you all build towards Champions League Glory (and since I had been trawling through pics looking for stuff on GKs to annoy Gert (but just for fun, in a nice way )) I post this blast from the past to remind you Lord Nordeus may test the health of your heart. O.o.



I thought the nightmare was complete at P2 but it was all right in the end.

@Buff: with 2 goals avantage and 15 mins to go, 11 vs 10 and you lost 2 goal
