Phase 1 Complete:
Cup: In a matchup of dueling level 13 managers, my 3n-5-2 V-style topped opponents 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow Diamond, 3:1. Their was a single player below 6* in the starting lineup for either squad. He started eight 7* players (oops, but it was 8 when he subbed), whereas I started five 7* players and a pair of 8* players.
The game began with a terrific brisk pace for my squad as Cusba (13') and Blatter (16') hammered home passes from left-winger Johannes Renk for an early 2:0 advantage. We continued our through control of the 1st half but couldn't muster that important 3rd goal. During the 2nd half, the opponent became more threatening, creating several opportunities, but defensively the boys were up for the challenge, clearing opportunity after opportunity. A mistake by MC Roiz, opened the door for LP-Cry as they pulled back within 1 with a 74th minute goal. The match would remain in doubt, until the 87th minute when Kaya removed all doubt hammering home a pass from Blatter.
2nd phase: Champions league final against a 3w-5-2 v-style that's starting 11 6* players tomorrow. Obviously either a token buyer or token farmer, but not sure which exactly.
League: Looks like this is all coming down to matchday 28 as we duel 2nd for the title.
