CL: Buffs FC secure a 3-0 first leg lead with a home win.
Unfortunately we seem to be developing a Striker issue now but fortunately the MCs and Wingers are picking up the slack - and we're getting a few PKs >.<
PS. Stupid change to FK and Foul stats - don't think I like it. :(

All done today and late one in the league tomorrow so tonight will be Friendly time. :D
FC United update and :confused:
Uniteds manager started great. They kick off Funck catches the ball and heads it forward, guess to himself because he is alone on goal and scores, he selten misses.

And now for the :confused:and again its the stupid keeper rating
Attachment 45443
Attachment 45444
And this time i watched the coments, he performed great saves, even 2 times saves on second corner. so why the H...! does he get such a low rating, when he was a lot in action and saved it all, IMO that is just stupid :mad:
@gert: play him as ST in friendly matche. make him FK corner kick penalty kick. and sub him every time he score a goals
Worth a try, thanks! :oQuote:

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 :D
guess i`m promoted and 9 games too go and before anyone asks, no scout in squad all 5 star from market

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 :p
Near the end I passed a second ST and set attacking mentality so conceded a second goal :(
Attachment 45451
very bad rates and mom title to his DR completed the logic of that game - lol
Attachment 45453
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 :confused:
I had 100% shot efficiency in my Champions League match today - but it wasn't that difficult to achieve in a defence-heavy game... :rolleyes:
Attachment 45459
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
Attachment 45476
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!!
Attachment 45477
Attachment 45478
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.
Attachment 45495
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.

Jim FC, Week 3
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.
http://i59.tinypic.com/9ub337.jpg
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 :)
poor fella :( black kitty again :) (given to another oppo in cup last time)
i dont understand he is currently 2nd and he has a solid team :)

OMG! ( oh my galeanthropy)
My keeper continued he good form from the friendly as strikerand got 2. 7 in a row awesome:rolleyes:

in other news:
FC United won 1-0 against former number 4 :o GHazzaaaaa was matchwinner. Giving United a three point lead at the top
And the exam's all finished for me yesterday. Today I watched Pitch Perfect 2. And now...
AEPRE FC got a very lucky win aganist the 2nd placed Joseph FC.
We haven't got any real chances for the whole game, only a few attacks and counter-attacks chances were made by the opponent, who were playing at home. At the 87', Joseph FC got a double corner. I then quitted the game screen in frustration, and when I checked the fixture screen, Joey Graceffa scored a winning goal for us in the 89'!!! First I thought it was a glitch.
We're now 6 points clear of our title rival Joseph FC.
to day we win an easy match as usual,
Attachment 45508
after the match, i see #1 have got a hard troll
Attachment 45509
Attachment 45513
and the results is the 1st time this season We are in TOP of the league
Attachment 45511
me #1 have to play with # 2
#2 will play with #1 and #3
#3 have #2
don't like the table, #4 is a weak team. the title Race is still open, as US and #2 still have the decided match in hand, #3 still have his chance
45% for me 20% for #2 and 30% for #3 and 5% for #4
an other think to say. i have 2 GK. one with good form 7-7-7 but 4 * and sell him and suddenly my 5* GK normally have 5-6-5-5-4 start 6-7 and now 7-7-7 also. He don't like competitive ???
you have the same troll picture two times ;)

Unfortunately, Sevilla was injured during the match and was injured for 3 days. Following some red packs, Sevilla is now back for tonight's League match.
In the League, the reserves went up against Bucky away and despite not being able to watch the match, we won without even breaking a sweat.
Attachment 45518
After being eliminated from the Cup, we only have the League match tonight, so will update after that.
that game, sometimes ...
In my previous game (and post) I said it was meaningless to watch my match. Today, I was lucky to log in, watch and save the team from a big troll against a team which is tanking this season :p
Log in at 35' min and saw this :eek: :confused::mad:

switched formation + attack + from the middle and saved the match :o

After setting a highest quality ever starting lineup, I forgot to attend the match until it was just over. Luckily, my boys did a good job and won the leading team (now 2nd) by 4-1.
The interesting race of league title continues, with half of the teams still participating.

2 straight wins extended the lead to 4 or 5 points. My team is fighting for 1st league title after 10 seasons. Similar to last champion season, my team was 7th in the previous season.
I have a hard time to sell an either feet mid 2 star academy player. I don't understand why the market I act as a buyer is far more busy.
League: The Buffs welcome 12 th place to Abbey Park. 12th? Easy! Its not as if we've drawn with worse and struggled to beat them 2-1 in Round 5.
So, today the Buffs brought back Striker Jack Harper into the starting line up, hoping that his Friendly frenzy last night had lit a fire under his backside.............and.........
.........the Buffs win 7-0.
1on1 specialist Harper turned all caring-sharing with 1 goal and 4 assists. Both wingers and both MCs got on the scoresheet and even DMC Alan Hansen risked another nosebleed by venturing high up the park to nod in a Harper FK.
The Buffs unbeaten run has now pulled back 9pts on the lead as they move into 2nd, 4pts behind.
"Steady the Buffs!"
Tiny update my end.
Only the League match tonight as Rhondda Rovers main team played Manicomio at home in front of a sell out crowd. The match was watched as we romped to a 9-0 victory.
Attachment 45545
Unfortunately, one dirty tackle and random moment saw two of our players injured and subbed, but it looks like Nordeus had sympathy today as they were only injured for one and two days, meaning a day's reduction was all that was needed.
Ok I am very upset today. I had a league match against 7th place who have ben struggling, and last time I beat them 5-0. So I thought I'd use the same formation against them as I did first time since they haven't changed.
It all started well, an early goal to us, and I assumed we would romp home. Then Nordgen decides he's not happy with me being on a 17 match unbeaten streak so he turns up to troll. And troll he did. This has got to be the stupidest game ever. His quality is 10 below mine, and I dominated him last time.
He scored 2 goals off 2 fk's and 2 long range goals from nowhere. He had hardly any shots on goal. Where as I dominated. Final score? 4-2
to him. Not happy at all. My lead has been reduced to 2 points and I play 3rd place tonight.
Did I also mention my DMC got two yellow cards in 5 mins...
Attachment 45546
Attachment 45547
If this game comes back to bite me on the bum because of a Nordgen troll...I will be mad :(
p.s What makes this more pathetic is I haven't conceded that many goals since season 3...And that was in the cup against a far better team that I ended up beating 5-0 on the return leg.

League: And all the talk of the Buffs charge up the league produces the *jinx* (knew it was a mistake ;) ).
1-1 draw with 13th - 88th minute equaliser by Aiyma Trohl >.< Bit of a 'nothing' performance as everyone rates 7 except AMR Ryan Gauld who rates 9 for MoM after scoring and consistently passing & crossing only to see it all squandered.
Just not enough creativity or cutting edge.
So the Buffs slip back to 6 behind the leader *cries*
Better restart the charge. ;)

That follow the Buffs,
