Season 70 - Week 4

[reddeviljohn]

Lost league game 3-1

[Teda]

Teda has said BYE to the league champion this season.

We played a second leg CL and won 4:2 but then lost the league game 1:3.

Due to family responsibility I did not watch the league match and I was punished. I watched the CL game and changed the tactic on time so we came from behind and won the game.

So to me, watching the game seems very helpful and due to the loss in league we are 7 points behind the polish leader, who is superb this season so we are already away from the league title.

Will try to win something this season, feel so sad because league title is always the thing I really care about... Bye league, but next season we will be back and win, I promise!

What's your budget for this season?
L26 Team – Cash – about 5B, token 25.
L18 Team – Cash – about 2B, token 80.

L26 Team - 6.19B, 14T
L16 Team - 2.42B, 83T

Who do you want to replace?

L26 Team: gradually replacing 4 star players, especially defenders because there are full of 4 star players. At day 3, many of them have already been replaced.

L18 Team: Selling my excessive 3rd GK (trying to sell different GK since middle of last season) and 2 two star players. This also indicates I still want to compete rather than tank..

L26 Team - all but one 4 star players were replaced.

L18 Team - 2 older (22) GK was sold and replaced with a 18 years old one. About 8 players in other positions were also replaced at mid-season when the market suddenly became more active. It's probably relating to implementation of the new "sell now" option.

What are your goals for this season?

L26: Top 4 in league. No specific goal on Cup & CL as I may not have time to handle several competitions. In new season, the transfer market is far more easy than I expect. I have upgrade a lot of players. Now I begin to worry this have affected the team chemistry and attracted stronger opponents in league.

L18: Promotion. I will significantly reduce time on this team. The team will be under minimal management or simply given up. Several directions have been considered. At this stage, I decide to compete with existing players, will not always attend matches, and will not maintain manual records of performance or training. It is very difficult to sell players even in season beginning. So I will stick to current players. They are still very young (average 21.1) with average quality close to 4 star. This team may be comfortable to run provided that the transfer market will resume normal. Most of the 4 star players will soon develop to close to next star and then can be easily be replaced. The 5 star players still have some room to improvement but many of them will also be close to next star and may attract some offers. In previous few seasons, the players of this team promoted to 6 star too soon, then slowed down in training development, had no option for upgrade for inconsistent/bad performing players as it could only use auction market with 35T resources.

L26 Team: Current position- league 3rd or 4th, CL Quarter final

In league, the strength of all but 1 teams are close. There are many up & down in this season. Now the team is in good form and will likely meet pre-season target of top 4.

In CL, the team reaches quarter final. It is better than expected. The strongest teams including the team defeated my team twice in group stage has already been eliminated. The next opponent has slightly stronger starters than my team, but this is not new in this season. Now I think my team has a decent chance to win CL.



L18 Team: Current position- league 1st (may drop to 2nd or 3rd at day end), CL Quarter final

In league, the variation of points are even smaller. But after competing 3/4 of the season, I believe that half of these teams are slightly weaker. So, with the points my team have already obtained, it will be highly possible to meet pre-season target of promotion.

In CL, reaching quarter final is a result also better than expected. Average quality of next opponent is over 8 points higher than that of my team. The difference in qualities between the starters are even more. So I don't expect my team can go further. Anyway, 3rd place is satisfactory.

United news

My AMR scored 7 and made two assists. Great game two 10's

[Teda]

Teda played 1 league match and won 1:0 at home. Nothing to talk about because the league has nothing to do with me now.

Just won the 1leg cup semifinal, at home 2:0. I watched the game but did not change tactic too much as my folks was on cruise control. Good to have the clean sheet but the only concern is the on road game. My opponent lost 1 leg quarter on away game 0:2 but came back with. 4:0 win at home to against an active German manager. So I hope this will not happen to me as I could not watch the second leg which is at midnight my time.

OK! Tomorrow, eventually we will face to the league leader, who is extremely stable and admirable! Yes, I respect and admire him! He is an active manager, and he plays great games! To be fairly speaking he is better than me in all aspects. We will play on road and I believe the game will be one sided favored him for sure. No matter what, we will try to play great game tomorrow. The title is already in his pocket so I don't expect too much but we will still give our best to play professional soccer game! Stay tuned I will update later.

The tension is building in the last week. Both team are able to get a treble although some magic has to happen

FC Knudde is third in the league. Just 4 points behind the number 1. If it goes well we could become first. If we loose 1 or 2 games we could become 6th or 7th. The league is tight! The first semi final in the cup was won with 3-1. Not a bad start but far away from sure. It could however be the second season that we make it to the final. Fingers crossed. Today the semi finale in the CL against a team with 5 quality less. Lets hope for a good form of the team.

FC Killroy is still cruising for an undefeated status in the league. 20 games won with 98 goals scored and 7 against. The best season ever. Cup semi finale started with a complete off day for my team. We lost 3-1 but we have the match at home to catch up. At least we scored one away goal. The CL semi finale is against the best team from the last 4. He is less in quality so I might have a chance. The others in the semi finale are 29 and 19,6! That 19,6 is incredible. Haha. I faced all teams with quality around 30 or so and he just met teams around 20. Champions league is funny that way.

Good luck to all players in the semi finales too. Thumbs up.

My level 18 team (Beauty) just played 1st match of CL Quarter final against a much stronger opponent. I expected a big loss before the match and just planned to fight as far as we can. I am happy with the result that my team just lost 2:1 and got an valuable away goal. Even though I still think the chance reaching CL final is very slim, this series has not yet over.




Up to now, this opponent won all all 11 matches, scored 53 goals and conceded only 4 goals including the one today in this CL.

[Killroy]

Definitely not a bad score Cookiezzz, considering the red card. You might have a chance if your team finds its form back Good luck.
