    So as everyone has been pointing out, it's now the halfway point for the league.
    My big goal this season was to win BlackKiwis first triple, and so far, so good. I currently lead the league (tied with 2nd but +1 up on goal difference). It's been a very grafting season so far. I've averaged 3.15 goals a game in my history, but this season I've only averaged 2.08. A remarkable difference really, because usually that would suggest a terrible season, but it shows the high quality opposition I've faced.

    Into the CL, I won the first leg (home) 2-0. I feel a bit sorry for my opposition because he cleaned up in pool play, where as I struggled to 2nd place, and now he has to face a resurgent Blackkiwi team
    The big obstacle for the triple is the Cup, which is not surprising. This is my opposition for the QF's.

    His team has +7 quality on my team so it's a daunting task. However he has his DMR/DML players out of position so I feel I can sit deep and out-flank him on the counter attack with either 4-4-2 or 4-5V-1. If the team was closer in quality to mine I might try something else, but I feel I have to be fairly risky to have a chance at progressing through. Also I'm looking at putting hard tackles on, whilst playing defensively. The more I can disrupt his team (injuries), whilst hopefully forcing a few of his yellow cards to become reds for the return leg, the better chance I have!

    Things I want to see improve in the 2nd half? More goals. That's basically it. My 5 rotating Defensive players are spectacular as usual, I'd just like a bit more upfront.

    Fingers crossed the Triple dream can stay alive!
