Haven't posted much this season. Been playing the counter-formation game like usual, with narrow diamond being the most preferred formation to this point. With my new DMR/MR/AMR nordgen, trained up to 7*, might elect to use a wide diamond or 4-3w-1-2 more often, to get my best players on the pitch, in their desired roles. But if the ND continues to roll, might just continue to that as well...
Anyways, here are how things currently stand.
League: 10-2-0, atop the league by 3 points and play 2nd tomorrow. League is deep with quality sides, going 7 deep with 5* starting 11's and 8th and 9th being capable squads as well. Gigantic pile of junk behind them.
Champions: Round of 16 begins tomorrow. Won my group on 18 points, which hasn't happened since level 6. Its also the weakest group I've seen since I was in like level 6, consisting an abandoned team, a 1* team and a team with a ST as DMC. Gotta thank the new league draw system here.
Cup: Still alive, winning the round of 16 (5:1 agg). Very fortunate draw on my behalf as I didn't fool the cup draw and increased the quality of my top 14 relative to the start of last season, yet the quality of my remaining potential cup opponents is lower than last season. But lower quality, doesn't necessarily mean easier, and with a lvl 16, defending CL finalist, and another lvl 15 token farmer/buyer the cup is still a daunting challenge.
