Season 66 - Week 4

What have you learned from last season?

Attacking mentality wasn't working for me last season, so had to adapt my switching up tactics.


Where did you place last season?

League (1st)
Champions (1st)
Cup (3rd_

What's your current level?
12

What's your budget for this season?
$195 mil and 74 tokens currently. Probably will add more.

Who do you want to replace?
DR, MC and ST

What are your goals for this season?
Promote to level 13 in champions league spot.
Don't let Nazi FC win the champions league!!!
Cup, I don't know; might try for bad day achievement here in the next hour. It's a higher level cup and 3rd place has been my ceiling in higher level cups. Things are usually fairly balanced in the early rounds, but once the QF's/SF's hit those active higher level managers usually have had enough time to add the needed pieces to overwhelm my lower level team. It might just not be economical to stay in this thing, considering the cost it terms of blue and green packs, considering once I reached level 9+, the league has no longer been a joke and teams with 5* starting 11's haven't always been getting promoted anymore.

First update of the season.

Despite a few bids in the early market, we were only successful in getting one player, a new ML that saw Cerezo Boons leave us in the process.

In terms of the Cup matches, we were up against a similarly rated team and progressed comfortably into the next round.

Lubo has had the magic sponge and is back tomorrow, while Acosta has served his suspension. Looking back at the cup match, I have to wonder why some manager's seem to have a very unbalanced team. They had 1 7*, 2 6*, about 4 5*, 2 4* and 2 3* players against me and it could be argued that despite the overall team quality being close to me, that's why they lost so comfortably.

Shock news! Palace Casuals have broken their Preliminary Round hoodoo...


Second leg game saw the new nucleus of the league team blooded, 'keeper Zoltan Bieder, left-sided defender Freddie Jones and utility midfielders and subs from the 1st leg Hansen and Shaqiri introduced instead of Dragut, Tikihy, Haubner and the injured attacking midfielder Graf; Silva Lima gets his chance in place of the suspended Babou Noubi, Domanski moving from defence to the defensive midfielder slot.

A largely forgettable first half saw two defence-heavy teams slug it out without end result, apart from a couple of bookings for two home players.

A half-time switch replacing Domanski with second midfielder Tzanakakis, moving the two wide midfielders to advanced positions and adding an attacking slant saw two quick goals for the Casuals soon after the restart, last year's Player-of-the-Season Anurak Arma bending a free-kick past the static home custodian and debutant defender Jones arriving in the box in time to head in a cross from right-winger Shaqiri. Arma then put in a Man-of-the-Match performance in helping the defence thwart any retaliation by the home side, and Palace ran out 2-0 winners, taking the tie 4-2 on aggregate. The only blot on the copy book was a booking for striker Andres Ramos for a clumsy tackle.

Off the field, a bit of rummaging around in the transfer markets has failed to unearth a suitable central midfielder so it looks like the existing trio will need to bear the responsibility. A watch will need to be put on the performance of Babou Noubi, who faded badly at the end of last season and has, at the same time, lost a little self-discipline...

Goal accomplished in the cup today, as we lost 9:0 unlocking the bad day achievement. Not quite sure how losing by 5+ goals is an achievement but i'm happy to say I've earned it.

I'm assuming my opponent when logging in to watch the match was shocked and pleasantly surprised to see his opposing manager watching the match and playing a 2w-2w-2w-2w-2 with all 11 starters playing out of position.

Now that that's over with, I will never play that formation again... Well, I can't say never because if I ever decide to tank, that special formation might be coming out again.

thru in cup 6-0 on agg

What have you learned from last season?

Never underestimate your opponent even though they are significantly bigger than your teams. Also I've learnt that, equally distribution of skills as important as focusing on the skills that player need to improve based on his position.

Where did you place last season?

5th place, but I could have been in 8th place though.

What's your current level?
6

What's your budget for this season?
100 million.

Who do you want to replace?
I've got a new goalkeeper, 2 defenders which I spent approximately 35 to 40 million on that. I'm thinking to get two more centre Middlefield and maybe one more attacker.

What are your goals for this season?

Since I did not qualify for the champions league.To win the league championship and the Cup.
