AMAZING SEASON!! (so far)

League - First with too many points ahead.
CL - All 3 matches against teams 1 level above me!!
Cup - Easy one. Final with team 3 levels below me. (Best player: 3 stars)

Despite being drawn to a CL with unbalanced level teams (most of the teams 39 level), I was able to reach the final.
Only one match left for a treble. Wish me luck.

Well, I will change the name of Port Vale FC, The next season I will select a name between, FC Copenhague / F. C. København, Leeds United, Girona FC, or... lets say another team of our history, Bayer Leverkussen.
Port Vale will end the story with 2 League titles and a final of the Champions League.

Having lost the chance of the Champions League earlier, Palace Casuals turned their sights on the League. Away at FC Brandenburg, again the might of the Casuals attack fell on resilient defence, and only a long-range shot in the 77th minute by the home side found the net. So the League looks like slipping away as well, as apart from an early injury to MC Christie, ST Neagu and left winger Hansen both picked up bookings, which mean they miss the next match, which is against the league leaders...

*Head Scratching time* - the league leaders use the Narrow Diamond formation (as did today's league opponents). 4-5-1V has previously stood me in good stead but relied upon the wingers to provide the attack around the opponent's central block. I certainly have a replacement for Hansen but he's very much a second string player - what other formation could I use, or just go for broke and put the players in and let them get on with it?

Yo Tal, try switching to 3-5V-2. If they're narrow you should only need the 3 DC's, and it sounds like you're struggling for goals so the extra striker could help! Down the flanks as usually, normal or aggressive mentality. Well that's what I'd do! Good luck!

Sounds like a plan: good job I've been prevaricating on which of the two long-time strikers (now both 4*) to release - they made a great team way-back-when, it'll be good to give them a last hurrah before they both become TM fodder next season.

The unfortunate DC to be benched will be team captain Arma - anyone can take FKs but the Aerial Defender and Defensive Wall SAs of the other defenders will be needed. He's not got an FK SA but I need to give one of the midfielders an extra job to do, so MC Kamal will be designated FK taker for the day. 1st choice 'keeper Bieder has been rested for the past 4 days, the recent purchase replacement has been good, but I shall need his experience (and extra *) for this game - for good measure he is next in seniority for captain so he'll be Captain of the Day.

12:47 BST is kick-off time, I know I'll be out and about so it'll be login on the mobile and register I'm there (sometimes the extra 8% matters), and we'll see what happens...

Prevaricating, haven't seen that word used in a long time
Sounds exciting! All the best! Hopefully I haven't screwed this up for you!

I'll not hold it against you, it was a few lines down on my list of things that I could possibly do, anyway. It is nice to know someone else thinks it's a possible tactic to use.

Who would've thought that 1 week ago:-) 1 point vs the 9th tomorrow and I even win with games remaining,I told my friend the season doesn't finish after 3 weeks! And safe to Say Gomez wins again the goal rating,and maybe again all 3,my friends higher 8star challenged him again,but of course not a chance. Cl second leg still to come,have a 1:2 advantage from the away game,so I go defensive and the long ball forward to Gomez will hopefully come

Planning on boosting my construction to give the fans a show as we win the league at home in the last game.

no, don't waste your T that way. When I won my first treble (lv5) I bought for the team my first premium jersey. It's better investment and fun.
