Season 66 - Week 4

[Bluebird Hewitt]

\o/ *Buffs Spam* \o/

Restarted a team after having uninstalled the app and 81 days inactivity. Got new team at the same level I left it, Manager Level 9 and Season progressed to 15, League Level 7. All players only have this season's stats.

More importantly it looks like its successfully jumped server

Gave me extra Tokens, packs and cash for returning as well as boosting a player to 6*. So team has 76T now.



PS. Not sure if its coincidence but the boosted player has almost the same name as me >.<

I think the player part you mentioned is part of the package as I had something similar when I thought my old Rhondda Rovers team were gone.

Anyhow, I wouldn't normally do this until all games are played for the day, but this match is an exception due to what I feel is sheer stupidity by their manager.

Rhondda Rovers main team played FC Leod away in the Champions League expecting a tense match due to their strange formation and five man defence. I played with a 4-1-4-1 formation and kept the same tactics as normal to see how we went.

And so it began. On the 9th minute, Voulgaris had a punt at goal, which took a deflection and went in.

1-0 Rhondda Rovers.

In the 13th minute, Chrapek got himself booked and was thinking about subbing him. However, I thought I'd wait until the end of the first half before doing that. In the 41st minute, Chrapek committed a foul and got a verbal warning from the ref...............before being a gobby sod, getting a second yellow and being sent off.

Half time. 1-0 to Rhondda Rovers, but down to 10 men. I tweaked the tactics slightly to move Sevilla more into the centre and focus attacking down the flanks (as they were far too central and had no width).

Second half begins and and the they started to push a bit more for the equaliser. However, after a few minutes, the opposite manager did what can only be considered an extremely stupid move to try and get the equaliser:





Not only did they leave themselves wide open, but they gave me extra possession due to the goalkeeper being out of position.

67th minute, Jordan has a shot and scores. 2-0 to Rhondda Rovers.

73rd minute, Sevilla has a shot and scored. 3-0 to Rhondda Rovers.

The opposition manager immediately reverted back to their original formation once realising the cock up that was made and managed to get one back in the 86th minute to make the final score 3-1 to Rhondda Rovers.



I also got an achievement to boot as well:



If they had kept the formation they were using and not go all balls out with out of position players, this tie could have been a lot closer. However, they may have just eliminated themselves from the Champions League. The manager is not new either as they were originally level 12.
