Season 66 - Week 4

[EmilZ]

Well the season so far has gone surprisingly well. After being knocked out of cup in the first round, I was able to do well in league and CL. On paper, I am at least 2.0 better than any other team in my league, and I thought it would be a boring season. Far to the contrary though, I have gotten three very surprising draws at weaker opposition (and one valid one where the opponent was simply good). For a week I sat second, until first place surprisingly lost to fifth. Since then I've been one point ahead with both of us winning 9 games in a row - until today that is. I just beat second place 3-0 away to cement a 4 point lead which will probably allow me to take the league title. In CL I am through to the quarterfinals but there is tough opposition unlike in the league. I won my first leg 1-0 at home against a team a level higher than me and in a few hours will play the second leg. I am confident though as the other team is very weak in attack and only strong offensively, and barely registered a shot in the first match, but anything can happen. Hope this season has gone well for other managers, it has been pleasantly exciting and competitive for me, which I prefer to just winning every match.

Also, in the league I have THREE players in the top scorers list. My amazing recently scout level right-mid Loris Montanari (who takes my freekicks) has an incredible 19 goals in 19 games. I have one player in the top assists and two in the top rated. My strikers are finally learning to work together through different rotations of the three and have warmed up (one of my players has six goals in four champions league games).
