Faced with a league opponent that doesn't drop points, my team ran up the score against the abandoned team at the bottom of the table and boy, they did it with devastating effect under "attacking" orders.

I'm loling at the four 10 ratings! 😀
There now is a goal differential gap on top of the table.

Palace teams report for Monday...
[Yes, late again, but RL has to take a front seat every now and again...]
Desert Rats FC had two away wins, one in the Cup 1st Leg and the other in the League. Desert Rats made a half-step into the Semi-Finals with a tight 2-1 away win over their opponents, Vinnie Taylor scoring two goals, but he would have had a hat-trick if the home 'keeper hadn't made an excellent save of his penalty kick. In the late afternoon, they cemented their hold on 3rd place in the table with a 4-2 win, Passmore, Ivory, Wojtczak and Haddou scoring, but there was another sting in the tail with a 4-day injury to striker Ivory.
Palace Casuals did themselves no favours by conceding a late goal to draw 2-2 away at the second-bottom team, but striker Liam Cashman kept up his recent scoring form by netting the Casuals' two.
Palace Terriers also had a frustrating draw, this time at home to the 2nd-placed team in their League. Despite having advantage in all stats disciplines, nothing came off for the Terriers, and eventually it was left to Julien van der Plas to equalise the visitors' first-half penalty for a 1-1 final score.
I didn't expect that my team can advance to top 8 in CL. The opponent has good performance in both league and CL. I wonder if the opponent will think this is a so called troll result.
A key reason that my team won is the bad performance of opponent's GK keeper during the match. He final match ratings were 6 or above in both matches but it was actually below 6 in large parts of both matches.

2nd match

My league match today were suddenly re-scheduled by the opponents to my coming midnight. I hate T11 allowing this. But as a result of this, my players played in the CL match with better condition
As in last 2 season, my team begin to use a more fixed formation from around half season point. My only 4 star player is now a regular starter. Hopefully, the result will also improve from on as in previous seasons.
My team advances to the Champions League quarters after a 0:1 defeat in the R16 second leg.
They went into this one with a 3:0 lead from the first leg against a team that attacked to try to overcome the deficit. I took a risk by not using green packs on players who started their second game of the day and they did enough to go through.
I guess that scoring at least three goals against my defence is an uphill battle 😉

We seem to be thru in c/l after 2-2 draw and 5-5 agg
Lost league match 3-2
Teda won two matches for today.
A 5:0 win against a weak team in league, the Bosnian ST played a hat trick.
Another 4:2 come back win against a CL opponent who lost to me 0:5 in the first leg. The match started in his pace, he scored 2 goals then I changed a tactic by introducing my key wingers to replace a ST and another AMC. Bosnian ST Mojovic started playing as the single ST. Then the game was completely under my control, the left winger scored one goal then Mojovic played another hat trick in the same day. We won the game 4:2.
Tomorrow we will play against a difficult opponent in league and a Brasilian cup opponent, will be a very challenging day to me. I am still behind the league leader who won his game today so I have no choice and must win the league game; the cup game is tricky, we won 3:2 on road so need to try to either make a clean sheet win or a draw is also acceptable to me, will still try to win.
Will sell a young DC/DR who is in good quality but could not play key role in my team, I don't mind to take time to see he grows up but not in this season as all my matches are in crucial stages and I cannot afford any risks.
Well I had been passively managing my team this season, as I haven't used any reds, star ST hasn't played in a week and only used greens before one match. The squad has an overall record of 25-7-0, and I don't understand how.
Right now its time for a decision; to take the team off auto-pilot and aim for a treble, or see auto-pilot all the way through as I had been intending all season.
So now this is something the developers need to look at... How come this can happen? On the other hand, if everyone plays like this, how can they earn money? LOL

Through to cup semifinals 1:3 2:2! Fielded just bad enough of a squad with max win bonus that I didn't have to pay them to draw in the 2nd leg. Financial tactics!

Could not get any tighter, only 9 point`s from 3rd to 13th and i beat 5th 3-0 today away with my A team
Attachment 53379
It took 16 matchdays to make it happen, but the Red Stars Munich now lead the league on points.
First, the boys smashed the next-to-last (or next-to-worst) team in the league on their way to a 9:0 win. Six goals for Forsberg, three for Franken. Three assists for midfield dynamo Petermann.
Attachment 53387
Our biggest league opponents had a draw today, the only time when they dropped points while playing against other teams. In addition, the last two wins have provided us with a 22-goal differential.
Attachment 53394
This team is only getting stronger and building for the future is not finished. More on that in the team showcase a bit later (link in signature).
Before we get to that, let's be clear that the boys are not in the mood to share any of the spoils this season. In addition to leading the league, they outrageously dominate the individual categories.
The graphic speaks for itself:

Heavy token buyer spotted in the Champions League knockout stage :rolleyes:

I'll go and support her opponent when their match goes live :p
Teda played two games today, one win one loss.
In league, we won the game against a hardball, who plays in similar way as the leader, we played on road and the Bosnian ST Mojovic scored the only goal at 35 min. The game was tight and I was not quite happy because of the overall performance; and I could imagine that if we play like this the game against the league leader will be another loss. Need to figure out what to do.
In the second leg of cup match, we lost to a lower level team 0:1 at home!!! But we still move onto the semi finals due to the 3:2 win on road. Lucky but not convincing at all. They played with 10 men but still made the only goal of the game. The manager came at the second half with one supporter but it was too late... Could not imagine what if he came earlier... Wow. I know I advanced to semi but to be honest I think I already lost... Good game for this manager. Almost forgot to say that my key left winger got injured for 8 days but the good part is that I have some red packs so healed him already.
Tomorrow we will start the CL QUARTER FINALS first leg against a good team who won league and CL last season, the game is at home so will try to keep a clean sheet.
The biggest concern is the Bosnian ST Mojovic, who does not play stable games, oh boy please wake up, thanks...
Drew league match 1-1 conceded in last. 10 mins and they played with no striker
CL top8: @home 1-1 against my main rival (we are lev8, and he is 61.5Q)... i guess my second treble is getting away from me now...:rolleyes:
edit: 14 matches with CLEAN SHEET! until now :(
Because you can't win all games 14:0... the boys won with a more classical 2:1 in the Champions League quarters, first leg. The two away goals are definitely valuable.
It is a tough opponent and the team conceded early. From the live action on mobile, I saw lots of short passes stalling progress in the midfield. So, I switched my orders from short and mixed to mixed passing down both flanks. Et voilà , the team started creating chances from the flanks. Oskar Müller (DR) scored a rare goal and Kalju Saar (ML) came up with the winner.
Attachment 53432
Once again, Saar is the best player in an important game.

Lost c/l game 3-0
The team is on a roll in the league, the second half looking even better than the first. A 7:0 blowout against a mid-table side. Braces and assists for Schouten and Franken, the 18 year olds that are developing into sharp shooters.
Attachment 53451
Still got a two-point lead on top of the standings, with a growing 26-goal differential.
Deleted due to multiple posts.
Teda won the first leg CL at home 4:0. I am happy about the clean sheet of home conceded goals. We are heading to semis I believe.
The league match is disappointed, we scored a goal at 15 mins but conceded one at 85 min.
I think my defense line is still not stable, have been struggling the whole season so far, not positive in league since the leader is so strong and we are 4 points behind them, the title is not reachable.
Tomorrow we will only have one league match, will try to win. The Bosnian ST Mojovic got a 9 rating in CL match but only a 7 in league match, I don't see he is very aggressive to push forward, instead he always passed the ball back to others, what is wrong?
Try a 3N fwd front with him in the middle.
Thanks, I assume you responded me :-)
How about 1 AMC and 2 STs? I don't even have 3 good STs LOL

FC Knudde is in a tight league. The numbers 1 to 6 are about 6 points apart. When I loose a game I drop to 6th place, I win one and I am back at second. The first six have something like +20 goals at most. Very intense league. Just had a game against the bottom feeder who had won one game so far. In the away match it ended in 2-5 for me. No worries I thought. NORDEUS said you thought WRONG!!!! Somehow the bottom feeder found the form of the day and beat me 2-3. I hardly had more ball possession while the away match was 65% possession for me and about double the shots. Well it happens. I will propably drop to 4th or 5th. It happens. Still going strong in both CL and Cup. Yes, second season I get a long way in the cup. Now up against a level higher but just 0,5 more quality so I do have a chance. My first CL semi finale ended in 2-0 for me so solid start.
FC Killroy is right now undefeated in the league. There is a huge gap of 13 points with the number 2. 90 goals scores and only 7 against is the best performance I have yet experienced in this game. I have some star players that shine every game (league/CL/Cup). I might be on the way for a treble. This is propably the best chance so far to get close to this. My first game in the CL was won with 5-3. The away goals are not good but still a win and 2 goals difference. Lets hope for a tie and then onto the finale. In the cup I meet the best of the 3 level 4's in the game (me being level 3). I have the best quality but that is nowhere near a guarantee. Lets hope for the best. The only thing worrying me is the injury storm in the last 3 games with 5 injuries (3 in one and 2 in one game). I am almost out of red packs so keeping my fingers crossed :)

TROLL THE TROLLS :p
Teda only played one game today, a league match.
We played 3N-2W-2N-1AMC-2ST against a team put all players in the middle. Damn, we conceded a goal first!
Then I changed the tactics and started 3N-2W-2N-2W(AML and AMR)-1ST, then the AMR scored 2 goals in 1 minute.
At 84 mins, they got a red card, we made another goal delivered by Bosnian ST Mojovic and a defender headed it in.
Tomorrow we will play 1 CL game and 2 league games. The CL game is not a big deal, since we made 4:0 at home, the 2 league games are the keys, we need to win both as the league leader is so damn strong and stable, better than me...the league title? Difficult and hopeless...
While I do agree that my team shouldn't have been having the success it has been this season (29-8-0) to date, I think it is important to state I am not a free player. Although I haven't bought any tokens this season, thousands of tokens have been invested into my squad over the previous several seasons, so several of my players are power-trained and have been on the roster for several seasons. I've also targeted well-programmed players or what I think are well programmed players and then power-trained them with the exception of this season.Quote:

If you have noticed, they have limited the number of awarded packs so no one get tons of packs anymore, this leads to the money towards their pocket.
