Season 70 - Week 4

[Killroy]

Strange stuff happening to FC Knudde. After 4 wins a row and first place FC Knudde makes a dive to the 6th place after 3 ties and 1 loss. The loss was against the bottom feeder who apparantly outplayed me somehow. A lot has been a result of the plethora of yellow and red cards which made me play several games without my key players. The players that shined last season are getting average now. No idea how that works. How can a player be great one season and the next season play average and get 3 red cards (yes 3 already)?

CL is a breeze right now. Cup games are all won with big numbers against teams 1-3 levels higher. Right now the league is the hardest part. Funny how unpredictable this game is. However, if my team keeps on doing this (tieing and loosing) while still scoring way above a 7 average then I am starting to doubt this game again.

FC Killroy is in a comfortable spot. No loss or tie yet in the league. All games won in CL and Cup matches are going great. 2 players are really shining there with 8,7 and 8,6 averages. Top 3 of the top scorers list are all from FC Killroy

Won league match 2-0

Just a few minutes ago, my team lost a league match in strange manner.

Before 52 minute in the match, my team performed very well, but failed to score. At 52 minute, I try to make a substitution. But the facebook app partially hanged that I can switch screens but could not make substitution. So I restarted the facebook apps. At that time, I am conceding the first goal. When I returned, my team has already trailed by 2 goals. The live player ratings are completely different from that I noted before leaving. At the end of the match, my team lost 0-4. This is one of the bad things occurring around me.

I started this season with minimal management effort on this team but its performance is not bad. But its performance is better than I expect. It advanced in CL after 3 gp matches and is stayed in top 3 before the heavy loss today.

I feel that this can be turning point of the season. My team will start to play poorly. I may give up now if I did not decide not to manage it with full effort.

On the other hand, it is strange that this team sold 2 not-close-to-next-star players today. For whole season, it is extremely difficult to sell players. If I play this team with full effort, I should be bored.

The boys showcased their strength once again today in the league, against a team with a good attack and a good defence. They beat 'em 3:0 and had full control of the game.



Another good game for Bašić, who was man of the match, and from Saar, who put an end to a quiet spell in the last couple of games. Franken scored another goal... and picked up a ban on yellow cards, showing his impact on the games



The team still tops the league on goal differential, but the differential is growing.

Otherwise, the quieter day is a good occasion to train the players and improve the quality ahead of the last game of the Champions League group stage.

I think Teda is already away from the league title for this season, lost another game after yesterday's joke game, thank you Nordeus!

Still in CL and cup, so will try to go as further as possible ... this season is done for me. Sad, but not even angry ... will stay on this game, enjoy every game, no matter it is a ok game or a troll one.

Again, THANK YOU Nordeus, let us see what we can do for you!

Smashed apart 6-2 in the first leg of the cup.

Looked at the team I was playing and he is 4 levels higher with a better Q by 17.5.

Yeah, thats fair Nordeus!

[Teda]

Teda just made a 4-1 smash win against a same level team in cup, OK, should be safe to go through to the next round.

CL is promising, already secured the second in group, will play against another group leader, but Teda warriors are confident to conquer the enemy.

Damn league, injuries, jokes and troll games....but I won't give up, let us see .....

Today, I am glad that yesterday I already noticed that the 52 minute mark of the league match yesterday is the turning point of my team in this season. Since that mark, my team conceded 11 goals and scored only 1 in next 218 minutes.

I feel that my opponents finally has new options to get rid of their old players after implementing mid season change of selling players to agent (I hate mid season major change!!). This is unbelievable because the transfer market was used to be stagnant before in this season. I also benefited for selling 3 players yesterday. But all my players but 1 are under 22. They must be sold if I am patient enough to patiently wait and repeatedly attempted to sell for half a season.

I have nothing to happy above point. But I may feel slightly better because my opponents are not weaker than my team. My team lost to the last place team in the recent league match today. This team is likely the strongest bottom table team I have ever faced. He has 5 starters with 6 star, 3 starters with SA, and all players are at least 5 star.

If I am still managing this team very actively, I should not feel boring even though I may feel frustrating with the results. There is no real weak team in this league. The result of my league match are unpredictable. The performance of my defenders and goalkeepers are even more unpredictable. I wanted to replace some of them. But this is difficult task. First, it is difficult to sell players to make room for new players. Second, almost no player in market is as young as AND as fast training as AND as high quality as my current defenders. It is hard decision to make a bid because the new players should be weaker to my current one at least one of these 3 aspects.
