League, round 12 - Real Madrid F.C. (29.7) 0-6 Perfect Tactics (46.8)
We keep our lead at the top of the table by 5 points with an easy win over struggling Real Madrid F.C. We wanted to get back on track after yesterday's scare and we did...
Petersen opened the scoring from a free kick early in the game, Cassetti was only given a warning by the referee. A few minutes later, Casetti fouled Petersen again and was shown a yellow card but his shot went well wide. Suarez made it 2-0 from a corner after we pressed for another goal. It was then 3-0 when Norris was put through on goal and squaring to Fabregas for his first league goal of the season. Another corner and another Suarez goal, the score was 4-0 and there was no stopping us.
Mata shot from long range and it beat the keeper (who was an MC) upping the score to 5-0. We had several other chances, first Suarez who should have got his hat trick and then Petersen should have added a second but their shots went wide. The 6th goal came from a bit of luck, Balbuena tried a long range strike and the ball flew into the body of Esposito and deflected into the goal, but we won't care. They all count and a big win adds to our perfect record. SimyFC keeps winning and the big game is in 3 days time when we go head to head at the Chano Petersen stadium. That will be the most important match of the season.
Goals: Petersen (7'), Suarez (26', 36'), Fabregas (30'), Mata (51'), Balbuena (73')
MOTM: Mata
Didn't sign that striker last night as it went to a bidding war. Glad I didn't get involved as it went 43 rounds. Crazy for that time of day. Went to a level 5 guy so would have only been 2* for him.
Harrogate win there game against 5th placed team 4-0 and keep there 100% record in the league.
Hope I can find a good 18yr old striker today to train up
Well folks... I hope your all having a good middle weekend during this season, I tend to call this point of the season, Saturday Day 14/Sunday Day 15, the middle weekend.
I got a question,
After Cup top 16 round, is the opponent redrawn??
I remembered that when you could bid for any 1* or 2* players on the transfer list, DEVs probably thought it was better to make it that only 3/4/5* visible to managers, probably because 1* or 2* is deemed to be inadequate quality for managers, I'd sign a couple of 1* players if I could on day 28 with this damned cup structure...
finally I made it to the cup quarters trough the penalties. And i made to the CL last 16 too :D
I said three season ago the structure of the transfer Mkt was changing, welcome to the world of the geriatrics.
The life of a player in your squads is being reduced by two seasons.
You only have to look at the scout list.
Avg age was 25 from the 18 listed last season up from 14.2 the season before, mine is currently 26.3.
Not one single 22yo since day 1.
All 5* players on my T/M when they appear are 30+ with 75% of 4* over 26.
There is no doubt that some servers are now getting the cream, checking people who are now in their third season on my negotiations have 22yo scouts in their teams this season and also high quality 18/19yo 5*.
The game is ***** end off.

Lost but still qualify
This season i'm doing really poorly. And I don't get why!
I have the strongest squad in my league. Youngest too.
I use counter formations, when possible.
I always watch the games live, and usually have friends watching too. At least one.
And still, i keep losing and getting draws!!!!
The hell is going on this season?

phew!
i barely managed to advance in cup, i won 3-1 at home, but i also lost 1-3 away (despite 21 vs 16 team quality, and me playing with my A team). he was already up 3-0, but i managed to score the important goal and after a uneventful overtime my keeper managed to block 3 shots so i won 3-2 in penalties. after this performance he also got the MotM award, noone else in my team deserved it
too much sweat for my taste!^^
maybe i can make the same upset in tommorows CL match, where i am the underdog with about 5 points less in team quality :)
Ceahlaul 0-2 July Fourth League Round 12
Ceahlaul 93.3 3-5-2 with DML/DMR - July Fourth 103.8 4-4-2 Classic
We were kind of lucky to get away with the 3 points here against a stubborn Ceahlaul who played well and perhaps deserved a draw from this game, July Fourth were not at their best, Michu was moddest, and Papaleo was out the game on 12 minutes with an injury and as the game wore on with it being 0-0 most of the way, we were wondering if we were actually going to win this one or not, It was more of a better defensive side of July Fourth's game that won this rather than the strikers, Adams and Ramirez worked very well on the Center-Right and Right back positions, they made sure nothing got through and a left back R.McNamara is the expert of the slide tackles. Our Goal eventually came midway through second half with both substitutes, Crawford squaring off to Alex Zidane to smash it past the keeper, Ceahlaul were not finished here, there was 2 chances for the home side to get level, one went wide and another was blocked by Ramirez, Then a foul from the home side gave Mensah a free-kick and he got it up and over the wall and into the goal to kill the game off.
Goals: Zidane (67) Mensah (85) MOTM: Ramirez.
Papaleo out for 3 days.
I'm beginning to think why should we bother with counter formations? SimyFC keeps the same formation and beats teams easily as well and she almost has as many goals as me. I started using my own style of 4-5-1 v and score more goals this way. Better than switching every match as that's how most of my low scoring wins have come from
There a few around AS Roma for one the two teams that beat me in the cups last season are also on my server.
It's the same story with them, other L7 who I have as friends on different servers are all telling me on FB of similar age increases.
22yo scouts don't just dry up, there all computer generated IMO so if they are there they are hidden under a pile of 29/27/25yo players that have to bought first.
That happened to me twice last season.
Is there a hidden Team Chemistry? or balance when teams play in a certain formation, I've noticed my team plays at its best when I line up in the 3N-1-3W-1-2 formation, often scoring 6 or 7 past opponents that are 10 less than me, my other formation like 3N-4-1-2 with Miku, seems to struggle against worse teams. Next season I know what my Prioritys are in the Transfer Market or Scout List are... MR and a DMC which next seasons Universal Player if we do continue that.
I've worked out putting too many players in attacking positions ends up in poor results, I think possession play in the midfield is the key in this game at the moment.
Every game I have lost this season I have had the upper hand, in terms of quality, possession, shots, more or less everything.
My observations are:
1 Tackle count is way higher than in previous seasons also giving away more fouls=FK tried Normal tackle and reverted to easy no change.
2 Shots on target ratio has dropped by around 30% in most games = less goals for after same number of games.
3 Susceptible to corners 6 goals conceded all three DC's have SA 75% of those have come from 2/3* players against 5*& scouts.
4 In all games that I have not won at home. And here is the key factor in my opinion, it may look small but if the factor is high enough it could be the answer to the big change in results. My ticket prices have not changed since last season and no ground upgrades, I max out at 31k in the games in question, 3% bomus as opposed to 5%.
I suggest you start checking this more often when results are not what you expected.
What you will find is gate income is down but merchandise will be up by the difference, again my opinion but not as noticeable when done this way to some of course.
Balkan Boyz - Matchday 13 & 14 (Sz.3 - lvl3)
LEAGUE: ROUND 11 & 12 + CL ROUND 6
http://i45.tinypic.com/10hkpqb.jpg
So yesterday (Friday) and today (Sunday) we played 3 games: One CL and two League games in which we managed to win all three with no major complications. Our win against the Kazakh team "FC BOLA" in the CL tournament meant that we secured the group win, ending at 15points (5-0-1). This groupwin means also that we will be facing the 2nd runner up in group H, which is the german team "FC Strikeforce". The first leg of the eighth-finals will be played tomorrow, and we will play our first game away and then the return at home. Despite that, I´m confident that we will manage to win both meetings without any problems. ;)
In the other two games (league) we managed to beat the Thai team "Man Utd" and the Swedish team "EFC". The first game ended 0 - 1 and the other one 3 - 0. Zlatan Ibrahimović , Branislav Ivanović, Xherdan Shaqiri and Miralem Pjanić managed to score one goal each.
Tomorrow we have 2 games on the schedule. The first is a league game and we are facing the US team "Dani DC" and the second one is as mentioned earlier the CL game against the german team "FC Strikeforce". Despite that both games will be played away and with a hour interval, I´m confident that we will manage to win both.:cool:
Over & out! ;)
Well I have been busy the last few days hope I didn't miss to much. Most results of my matches are decent but my away cup games beats the odds though. Wasn't able to watch the game and personally I find it over the top.

Champions League Last 16 Draw
http://i48.tinypic.com/dgkpbr.png
As expected there was no real surprises in the group stages with all of strongest sides in each of the 8 groups progressing with 6 of these being group winners, Only ourselves and Ttrabzonspor had 6-0-0 records. The draw has turned out very favourable for the likes of Kadir FC and a side that played in my L15 league last season Hurray FC. But Looking at the draw, July Fourth will be the team to beat for anyone if they want to win this Champions League this season.
