No happy i missed the game tho lol :( my top sts injured atm so i wasnt sure if i would win but lookingforward to the challenge in this cup even though my focus will be league and cl because of prize money.
Once again I'm the strong favourites but like last season there a few good teams that are 92-94 rated being less than 10 quality lower than me and potientally could give me a tough time in the knockout stages, as for the group then I don't think I should have any problems winning all the group games, obviously some teams in the draw will still have transfer deals to still make this season but the current qualities shown already gives you an idea of who's who in the draw, a scout buyer from last season would of had an average of around 98.
Coloz United looks like your biggest competitor.
My team average is a bit low because I only bought one scout. The rest are all 5* players rated 44, so they will be scouts soon. I bought a GK for 22 tokens on transfer list this morning, worth it because he is 18 y/o, fast trainer with 1v1 stopper ability. Good value in the long run. I will do a spot of PT, so the extra tokens are going towards that
Okay enough BS for the day. Cant help to think results are pre made in the end. Return cup match, it goes EXACTLY like first one, and i mean exactly the same actions. 4th min free kick on the bar, counter and goal for them. 37 min red card for me exactly same minute and same action of the first match. Time to get a mc as goalie
CUP preliminary stage - second leg
Tor Helin and Radamel Faclao shine at the start of season...I'm very proud of them.. :D

The harrogate Town manager David Winder is quoted as saying "I am very pleased to have made these signing and am sad we had to let a few guys go but thats the nature of this business sometimes. I am really excited buy the new signings and 4 will definitely make there debuts tonight in the 2nd leg of the cup with the 2 backup strikers on the bench."
In another bizarre twist at Harrogate david Winder also noted that striker Wayne Rooney maybe put up for sale as there is currently little room by the looks of tonights squad for him now. Not even making the bench.
Well we advance to the next round in the cup. Though it feels more like a CL final match after match.
We played a team 2 quality better than ours. He didn't watch both games. He plays a 4-4-2.
First game we used 4-5-1V, we had 58% possession but lost 0 - 1. He had way more shots on goal than we did.
Second game we went with 3-2-2-2-1, 52% possession for us but we got more shots on goal than him today. Result 0 - 3 victory.

Maybe Nordeus should rename CL to Cup and Cup to CL.
too lazy to narrate today :P
- insert weird thai team name here - FC 0 VS. 3 Ottawa Blue Claw
Well, we've eased our way through to the next round, with this draw in Finland, to complete a 4-2 aggregate win.
Result: HANS FC 2-2 LONDON CITY
Goals: Morgada 12, Christopoulos 65, Costa 67, Saastamoinen 88.
M.o.M: Arvola (Hans).
Our early nerves were calmed when Hector Morgada headed our opener from a Lukas Duran corner. The game then fluctuated until Christopoulos equalised on the day, only for Andreas Costa to restore our lead, after a mazey run, a couple of minutes later. Our hosts got a late consolation from Saastamoinen. Our pleasure of progressing was tempered by an injury to midfield debutant, Adam Zola. Fortunately its only aa ankle strain and he'll be out for just 2 days.
The howls of disgruntled fans will haunt iLandslaget as they leave Christian FC's 21,000 seater stadium having been knocked out in the first round of the Cup. A home draw of 3-3 was followed up by a 1-1 result away meaning the tie was decided by away goals.
Sloppy defending in the first game will be the big talking point as tonight's fixture was a lot more closed down.
Officials from iLandslaget refused to talk to the media, obviously furious with both the team's performance over two legs as well as the frustrating way in which the club exited the tournament.
Good Question :D. According to his trophie room, he ended as the 4th contestant in his league last season (Polish team). Then there is a similar team also in the group (from Kazakhstan) at same quality and seems pretty inactive (playing with a illegal formation + suspended players).
But my toughest opponent in the group is my former league rival and challenger for the 1th position:p. I kicked his as in the 24th round and therefore overtoke the lead in the league which I won (Think his pretty pissed) :cool:
Just a draw in CUP 1-1 crazy game, I shooted 1 time :))

The game start with Ottawa Blue Claw kick off, Razen run through all the defender of Thai Team like a tornado, and pass to Nikolov to score the first goal!. 17' Wangnukul commit a fault which gives Ottawa Blue Claw a free kick. Ambrosio take the change and kick, it pass the wall and score 2-0 for Capital Falcon (nick name of the team). The first half end it 2-0. Three minutes after the second half began, Wangnukul commit fault again, giving him another yellow card; since he has two yellow card, he got a red card and the thai team end up with 10 players in the field. Lennon skilled kick the free kick and it turn a 3-0 for Ottawa Blue Claw!!! 56' Krautzun commit a fault, the Thai team gain a free kick, but they hit the wall.

A: Well, Jani is out for two weeks (2 days) and Pereyra will be out for a Month (4 days), but we hope that they get better so they can join our team again. For now we will have to play 4-3-3 and make some substitutions. We have excellent players for this season and we will fight and defend our League and Champion League titles. We still have excellent players like Van Damme, Rayner, Ambriosio (score today), Krautzun, and don't forget our Champion League super star Vasil Nikolov. We are ready, we believe we are ready for this :)
Good luck in next week match (tomorrow) against Fc Viitoru.
Well that's all for today, in the Falcon TV!
Good Luck for other teams for tomorrow Champion League
Hahaha! actually, I did that for last season, I wasn't expecting buying a lot of players, but because there were a scout player, I just couldn't resist, I end up buying a list of player I jump from 12 to 22.5, he add me I lost all the friendly matches TT_TT. Until in the finals for Champions League, I won 2-1. There was my payback XDD. After the champions league ended, I delete him because I didn't want him on my league tournament
Cup update: FC Devils (Lvl 4) - FC Kneipenkick 1-3 (Lvl 3) - 1-4 on aggregate
Today FCK travelled to Poland to face FC Devils. The home leg ended 1-0 for FCK and was a pain in the ***.
Both managers were online and had one supporters. Mine was random, so thanks to the player Idan.
Devils fielded an motivated 4-4-2, FCK used an evil Greece 2004 tactics 4-2N-2W-1-1.
The home team was eager to score, but forgot the defense. New signing Ambrósio scored after a nice cross by Clemens already after 2 minutes. The home team now threw everything up front, but the Kneipenkick showed Greece 2004 qualities. The opponent could create no shot on goal up to minute 36. There a deflected ball brought Devils a corner and the equalizer. FCK gave a *** about this drawback and bounced back, 1-2 by Abdel Aal (40.), the half-time score.
Both managers continued with their tactic, but FCK subbed in Lindeborg for Reinebo, who saw yellow. Kneipenkick kept the opponent away from goal, but after an hour Nowak could break throught and Hassler could only stop him by foul - penalty. Suwala was confident, selected a corner, ..., but missed the goal by miles. The home team manager now threw everything up front with 4-2-3(W-AM)-1 (moved one of his ST to AM, rest by substitutions. FCK countered this tactic and brought Tonseth for Hassler. The opponent switched back to 4-4-2, with many player bad positioned. The match engine punished this BS and Kunz decided the match, 3-1 (77.).
So FCK in the next round, but 2 players with yellow cards (although normal mentality was chosen). :(
Edit: Statistics added

I just won 6-2 in the cup... I had to win by more then 5 goals but I didn't make it... Last 10 mins he was in 10 men but I still couldn't make another goal..
Wow, that is unfortunate. :(
57 minutes 2nd leg pre Royal Rumble Cup travelled to Italy with new Revolution Team...
Harrogate Town through to next round but had a disappointing game. Blackstone and Uzumaki had good debuts but we lost 3-1. Won 7-4 on aggregate though. Now to wait and see who we have in our league and who I get put against in the cup.
