Season 38

[July Fourth]

My top scorer last season was my AML/ML/DML FK specialist, he's 4 stars now so I thought he won't be as effective as a 6 star player, but I will try to see what happens when he takes the FKs, so I'll assign one for each. What do you suggest: right footed for left side and vice-versa, or left foot for left side and right foot for right side?

Usually its Left footed for Left side and Right footed for Right side but it can sometimes work either way.

Hmm, I'll try both ways to see how it works, I usually have one FK specialist that deals with FK, but now I have to try both to see which one is more effective.

On the plus side, I just made a good come-back in the CL game, and finally managed to win something not just draw like a super-noob. The weird part is: the only thing I changed in my team for the CL game was the captain.

i only ever have 1 fk taker at a time so i put him on both. My 2-3* had no problem when left and right. Be gd to have 2 fk takers for left and right though and try that but fk takers are hard to get on my server. I got 5* fk SA player for 1 token so i think nordeus are punishin me for getting him cheap because hes poor

Champions League Round 2: Triyo FC 0-9 Harrogate Town

Goals: Giel (2', 13', 31'), Haruno (4'), Blackstone (9', 43', 50', 62'), Bale (55')
MOTM: Blackstone

Town travel to Indonesia and destroy opposition.

David Winder and Eric Cantona take Harrogate Town to Indonesia for this second game in the Champios League. Little did anyone know that it would be so one sided. Valdes may aswell have had a picnic and invited his family along as he had nothing to do all game.

The game started with Harrogate kicking off. passing the ball around really well. In the 2nd minute Bale crossed in from the left and Giel made connection with a wonderful left foot volley. The keeper never stood a chance. 4th minute Haruno got the ball 25 yards out and and hit it hard, the keeper didnt move. Then in the 9th minute Town were at it again Blackstone grabbed the ball and skipped past the defence with ease. sliding past the keeper easily. 13th minute Giel got his 2nd of the game. It was a carbon copy of his first goal. Harrogate just kept stroking the ball around with ease. Then in the 31st minute Giel completes his hat-trick with a wonderful solo goal running past 2 defenders before letting fly from 30 yards out. Straight into the top right corner. The keeper stood no chance. Then 2 minutes before half-time Blackstone got in on the act again with his 2nd of the game. chipping the keeper from the edge of the box.
The second half started pretty much where the first left off. 50th minute Blackstone completes his hat-trick with another solo effort this time a 30 yarder that the keeper was unlucky not to keep out. He got a hand to it but it wasn't enough to keep the ball out the back of the net. 5 minutes later Bale decides to become scorer rather than assister, cutting in from the left and letting fly from the edge of the box with his right foot into the top corner. The final goal of the game came in the 62nd minute Blackstone with his 4th goal of the game. he nutmegged the defender then side footed it past the keeper in to the botto corner. From then on Harrogate slowed down and just kept passing the ball around and not letting Triyo on the ball.

After the match Town didn't have time to talk to the press as they had to rush to catch a flight home to get ready for tomorrows games.

What stats do you look for in a captain on this game lol?

I usually had the player who spent the most time with the team as captain, now I just named my most efficient player of the season so far as captain. But I don't think it makes any difference, just a coincidence that I won this game, and maybe my change of tactics at half time, I might have gotten raped if not for that, lol.

Sokunthea FC 2-6 July Fourth Champions League Group F
Sokunthea 90.7 4-3N-1-2 - July Fourth 102.9 3N-1-3W-1-2

July Fourth have one foot in the knockout stages after winning their 2nd group game after tuesdays win against Mars, It was quite an impressive attacking performance for our team showing what we are capable of, In the 5th minute Michu beat off the defence and when being held back by a defender he played it to Miku in a area of space and was able to finish it to put us in front, Kevin Mensah put us 2-0 up from a long range effort, Michu then had Papaleo put through on goal next and Papaleo was able to slot it past the keeper, Papaleo then playing the 1-2 with Michu next allowed Michu to strike and put us 4-0 up and we were cruising at this stage, the home side did however have a good strike partnership, Firstly Forte's turning past Adams for Heffernan to get a consolation for the home team at this point and the 2nd half it was the 2 players that teams up again to make it 4-2 with Heffernan squaring off for Forte to tap in with Seaman making himself look big to try and get the block in, The home team fight back was short lived however when Substitute Zidane from 30 meters found the bottom corner when Abdel Raouf's dive couldn't reach it... And the forgotten man Pepp Crawford find Michu in a promising area to strike it in off the post!

Goals: Miku (5) Mensah (16) Papaleo (28) Michu (33,73) Heffernan (42) Forte (51) Zidane (63)

Looks like Miku has found her touch in front of goal

Funny player this Miku... Just likes to be in the spot light, whether its goals, sending-offs or controversies, bit like a young Wayne Rooney... lots of talent for a young player.

Ian Blackstone looks like a great player for Harrogate Town mind.

Yeah I'm selling my Rooney, no need for him now. Ian Blackstone does look like he could be a monster he has assists all over the place but not a top scorer. Well apart from this game. He was a great player in real life for Harrogate back in the 90's until he was banned for violent play. Broke a players leg because he got tackled lol.
