Season 38

[July Fourth]

July Fourth 6-2 FC Haute Savoie League Round 16
July Fourth 104.0 3N-1-3W-1-2 - FC Haute Savoie 89.8 3N-2N-2W-1-2

For the first time in about a week, our new prefered formation of 3N-1-3W-1-2 was available to us after Vasko has finally made his full recovery from a 6 day injury, We only had 2 bad results in this time, the draw against Colin FC and the draw in our 2nd leg of or CL last 16 match against Thai Team, everything else was a 2-0 win on average. Non the less, this formation does allow us to play a good passing game with players spread well round the pitch, in the first minute we got of to a flyer when Miku's decent effort from 20 meters found the top corner, Miku tried again from 30 meters later on but it was an easy save for the keeper, Then Metelus who had a brilliant game for our opponents got 1v1 against Seaman then put it wide, Michu then hit the post before Norris showed everyone how to score goals with a brilliant finish from just inside the area, In the second half Michu ran with the ball and beat the last defender and shot it past the keeper to make it 3-0, Then Haute Savoie found a way into the game by a free kick from Milsevic which Seaman fingertipped it over the bar and when the corner came in Camille won the header and Seaman caught it then lobbed the ball forward towards Miku who played it left to L.McNamara who skillfully beat a defender and laid it off to Norris to power it in for his second of the game, Savoie hit back despite being 4 down and both efforts came from Metelus firstly he got 1v1 against Seaman and took it round him to put it into an empty goal, then a Camille pass put him 1v1 against Seaman again and he curled it past him to score... the game was eventually killed off from the moment of the game, Norris with 2 excellent shots from mid range both beating the already demoralised Savoie GK.

Goals: Miku (1) Norris (25,52,87 HAT,88) Michu (48) MOTM: Norris.

We didn't have to wait that long to find another player joins the 4 in a game club since Michu managed it yesterday, Today it was Chuck Norris!!!

David Rocastle made it back to 6* quality after the game finished.

yeah, a few second after hitting the Post button i thought so myself, i will post it again there

So my 24T signed youth player has now hit 7*


His average gains at 7*: 15/40/65

Still fast trainer at 7* which is incredible

My team, Aluche United, are back on their winning ways in the Beginner's Newbie League and today I only lost 0-2 in the friendly against the team, United Army FC, that beat me 8-0 & 6-0 on previous days, so I am not too despondent.

Possible push to 8*?

Possible push to 8*?

Running out of tokens.. I'd say it will cost me about 100+ tokens to get him to 8* but this late in the season it's not worth it, especially just for a DC. I'd rather get Petersen to 8* though, he's about 20 away

Yeah seems like the better choice... Petersen reaching end of PT window and the young defender has many seasons left for PT, but having a sensible token bank ready for next season is the most important thing, relying on videos for greens lately.

I only got 2 green packs last night from videos. I had to resort to the 176T package because I wasn't getting many greens

Oh well! Season over. Out of the cup, drawn against far stronger team in CL, and now even further behind in the league after today's league match.

Result: LONDON CITY 1-1 NO CHANCE FC
Goals: Zola 39, Esparza 73pen
M.o.M: Rodriguez (NCFC)

A match we had to win, fizzled out to a disappointing draw, as everything conspired against us to prevent a positive result. The match started badly (again), when leading scorer, Hector Morgada sustained an ankle injury after just 5 minutes. We managed to hold a halftime lead, when Adam Zola slotted home after a weaving run. But things returned to normal, and we were rocked again, when a dubious penalty was awarded against us (for the 3rd match in succession), and Espareza equalised for the visitors. We are now 3 points adrift of the leaders, having played a game more. If the bad luck continues over the next couple of days, I think it'll be a chance for the reserves to get some match time for the rest of the season.

You've had a few injuries lately... perhaps its time to use a few reds that you keep storing up? but then again if your calling it curtains for winning trophies theres no real point, I would of said for your CL Quarter-Final, don't make it a push over for your stronger opponent and who knows?
