Season 38

[Chris Rath]

League update 10:29 PM CET: Ujo FC 0-7 FC Kneipenkick
We travelled today to Serbia and faced Ujo FC, who threw us out of the cup last season (1-4 highest loss in FCK's history ). Ujo is still active, is on my friends list, but lacks investment in his team (probably saves money and tokens) and fielded today a team with 15 quality points less than us. So it was very one-sided.


CL update, 10:57 PM CET: FC Kneipenkick [32.3] 8-1 NewTeam[19.7] (not the New Team from the forum)
Our CL match started less than half-an-hour after the league match. 2 tokens were saved, but instead rest packs were bought to make the key players fit. NewTeam tried to turn the 0-3 home loss around with an offensive 4-3N-3, FCK played 4-5-1V.
The away team had the first shot on goal, but Mosqueda could score the 1-0 after a nice pass by Gürser (7.). The rest of the first half remained boring, but two FCK defenders received yellow cards.
One of them was Vasilev, Lindeborg replaced him a half-time. The away team manager took his DL out and brought an AMC. No clever move since his formation became illegal. NewTeams manager corrected his move six minutes later, took the AMC out and brought his substitute DL. FCK used the confusion and scored by Kunz (54.), Sutter (61.) and Decker (62.). The last two goals despite playing with 10 men since Tonseth got injured (but only for 2 days). Fathi replaced him, but could not prevent NewTeam from scoring the 4-1 (Bouadia, 63.). Since FCK got chance after chance NewTeam wanted to avoid further damage and their manager brought another defender, 5-3-2 (68.). Our players could deal quite well with the new formation: Fathi (72., 86.), Decker (80.) and Mosqueda (83.) made it 8-1, FCK highest victory in the CL knock-out stage so far. Player progress:


Outlook:
Tomorrow in the league we play the second in the table, La Salle from Argentine. And we meet La Salle on Thursday and Saturday also in the quarter final of the Champions League.

League, Matchday 15

Bengal Tigers 0 - 9 New Team

"Not to win, but to crush" was today's leitmotif for COach Mad's eleven. After the shocking defeat in the last match, the players were defently fired up seeking revenge. The victims just didn't happen to understand pretty well what went on in their home field. The whole stadium shutted down in silence before the strenghtstorm of the white and blue devils. With this victory New Team stays fairly at the second place, going for one of the two last direct matches of the season tomorrow. Winning both prolly will mean to win the league.

- Rob Denton injuries at minute 6 and get recovered in time for the CL match.

Scorers: Mellow (5'), Callaghan (6' - FK), DIamond (15'), Mellow (22', A:Biegansky), Lenders (50'), Callaghan (60' - FK), Lenders (67'), Callaghan (79' - FK), Becker (90').

MoM: Philip Callaghan (9), New Team.

Champions League, 1/8 Finals, 2nd Leg:



Not satisfied enough with the League Win, we hosted Real Leon Fc in the second leg after the 1-4 achieved in the first one. This time, as the previous, New Team totally overpowered the opponents. Somehow, tho, we managed to score only twice even with 21 shoots, 12 of them on target. It was pretty frustrating considering Real Leon shooted 2 times in the goal in the whole match, both from minute 1 to minute 5:
-For n.5 times Lenders or Hutton dribbled 2 men and were one to one with the keeper, failing it.
-For n.3 times Hutton dribbled the defenders, and one on one with the keeper served a companion, which sent the ball out.
-For n.2 times we made a counter with a cross headed right by our midfielders, once the keeper took it and once went out.
-For n.2 times the FK specialist Callaghan sent the ball right through the barrier and the keeper deflected it in corner.
-For n.4 times we took a corner, headed, and the Goalkeeper saved it.
That said, we took the lead with the DL Everett, served by Diamond before the keeper, and scored the second goal at the end with a long ranged shoot by Mellow. Rob Denton Injured AGAIN at minute 27', being replaced.

Scorers: Everett (19'), Mellow (88')

Mom: Bruce Harper (8), New Team

Advancing to quarters on 6-1 aggregate where we will face a weaker team (Q 18.1 vs our 30.6), Mcbrayt FC, who after a 0-0 away won 5-1 at home with the opponent having an illegal formation in the second leg.



2 surprises on the board with both HP and Onur Aras (both teams over 20Q) getting outed in the second leg. Tenerife proves to be the challenger winning easily 4-0 home after the 2-3 away.

CL result

played at our home with 5-3 leading score, my team should win this easily. But, disaster happened. My only striker's sent off at 8'. I didn't change team's formation because fell asleep an hour before the match . The opponent had a penalty kick because of the red card. J Valerio, the penalty kicker, converted it to a goal. 0-1. Ten minutes after, he doubled their lead. 0-2. They needed 2 more goals to knocked us out. At 77' my AML, R Mollina found the net. 1-2. C Norris made an equaliser at 83'. 2-2. Good result for us if the final score's 2-2. Unluckily, they scored a winning goal at 89' through their *1 MC, B Kar. 2-3. The final possesion, Total shots, and shots on goal're respectively 23:77, 15:18, and 5:11. MOTM award went to J Valerio. However, we're qualified to the next round by 7-6 on aggregate score.

Champions League Draw Update

All 8 group winners progressed winning all their ties outright without any need for deciding factors such as away goals, extra-time or penalties. The tie of the quarter-finals is undoubtably our game against Coloz United, Although their team is not the strongest around, they do however have an active manager, the major threat is GALATASARAY on the other side of the draw who keeps improving and also supports my rivals in the CL games as well, he also recently changed his team name from Kadir FC. If we were to meet in this seasons final. This will spark off a rivalry between the 2 teams.

Galatasaray looks like a tough opponent..Scout buyer?

Galatasaray looks like a tough opponent..Scout buyer?

Looks like he has a few ex-scouts in his team, like that Sentepespor I played last season and lost against in the group stage, I'm actually dredding the remaining games in this seasons Champions League, I get that feeling that its not my turn to win it this season, Coloz United Quarter Finals, Most likely Ttrabzonspor in the Semi-Final then Galatasaray in the final, I could lose it this season you know.

I'm worried about going empty handed this season. Could happen you know. My league is a bit iffy at the moment, some dodgy results this season, a few 1-0 scrapes and a draw yesterday. In the CL, the token buyer is only a bit weaker than me now. 6 scouts and 5* players. Pretty tough opponents I'm getting in Kabol and possibly Sparta Ackaya.. Petersen drying up a bit, although he does have 30+ goals and is my top scorer.

I was impressed by Michu earlier in the league game today, bagging 4 goals in a game, Last player to do that was Mensah just after Pricops contest for the most goals from a midfielder ended... We need someone that can score goals, Papaleo, Mensah and L.McNamara are not going to be around forever, perhaps 2 more seasons for the 3 players after this season in my first XI, Maybe 3 seasons for Papaleo, depending on development of course, Zidane may of seen his better days now, low end 7* player at 27 years old, So next season could be his last as an important squad player. My token budget has been cut heavily, I'm not going to buy silly amounts of tokens anymore, Was fun while it lasts to get 8* and 9* players but its got to the point where I think I've spent more than enough on buying tokens... Maybe in the future if my finances allow so.

I'm impressed with my chuck Norris lately. Started really performing and topped off today with a hat trick and MOTM in league game then another goal and assist in the CL match. Giel has 24goals as my AMR and Blackstone has 22 as my striker
