Season 73 - Week 3

Day 21 - Palace teams report.

Palace Terriers went away to the team in 13th place and left it late to get some goal-difference boosting goals on the board. Ian Kay opened the scoring in the 29th minute, and the visitors held that lead at half-time. Half-way through the second half, Kay increased the lead, and Anderson da Silva Santana, Florent Ben Dhia and substitute Thomas Clarke scored in the last ten minutes to help Terriers win 5-0. Zdenek Krajca recorded his 100th appearances for Terriers.



Palace Casuals went away to 8th place and the defence shone in a tight, evenly matched encounter. Philip Deery scored the only goal of the game in the 27th minute, Casuals win for the first time in three games.

Palace Terriers came up against the Nordeus machine in the home 2nd Leg of their Champions League Quarter-Final. It was predestined that the home side would lose, and so it passed. The visitors scored two early goals, and then everything that the Terriers management tried to turn the match around failed. A 0-2 defeat, Terriers go out 1-2 on aggregate.

This was my Champions League game today. After of a 2-2 in 1st leg, I won 2-1 today versus the same guy who was the champion of my Champions League from last season. I was in his group, and I lost all 2 games last season, and I finnaly won versus him now.

Another cool thing is that I was in a local that has no internet signal, so I couldn't see the game, until I remembered my dad we should see this game because of the importance. We take the car, and searched for a local with internet, until we found a bar that had Wi-Fi. When I joined, the game was 1-1. I changed some orders, and at the minute 87, my team scored 2-1, and now we are on Semifinals.

Mine team Celtic won today in CL 3-0 which was enough to secure 1/2 finals
However, the hardest battle is just in the front of our doors; our next match is against very strong cup opponent.
Mine team:
11x scouts (10x Q90 + Q91)
8x 5* players
2x 4* GK with high defensive skill
His team:
14x 7* (Q95+) + 1x 6* (Q94), one world class defender is suspended
other players have 1*

Which setup would use against him? His formation is 442.
I though about 3DC-3DMW-3MC-1 or some 451 formation, but I'm not sure. Average difference between our squads is around 7 marks (over 100 skill points per player)
This screenshot was taken yesterday, before he bought ML 6* and before he changed formation to 442.

Before considering which formation, go to his squad and try to find out his best players.
Goals to games ratio + form + assists. Go to his league and check his goal difference.

Now, you can take a defensive approach and play 4-5-1v or you can use the most popular counter for 4-4-2 and use 4-1-2-1-2.

Hope this helps.

I'm not sure should I choose 2ST formation at all. I know I can't plan to defend 180 minutes without concealing goal against stronger oppo and wait for extra time. I might use 4141 as well as a bit more defensive variant of 451V. I don't have much experience in matches where my team is complete outsider. I've played against 442 in the last week few times and narrow diamond brought me victories against equally strong opponents, but this is different situation. My team can play many formations, includin 451V, 4141, narrow diamond, but I'd like to know what do you think about 3DC-3DMW-3MC-ST, would that be too-much defensive option?

4-1-4-1 has always been reliable for me but never got me an underdog win only draws.

For me, playing against 3DC-3DMw-3n-1 formations are annoying to play against. Probably the hardest defensive counter formation I've faced. I'm not sure how it would cope against 4-4-2 though.

Last season, I played a tough opponent in the Cup quarter finals and I played DL, CB, CB, RB, DMC, DMC, CM, AML, AMR, ST and to my surprise, I won both legs 1-0. I played defend, long pass, down flanks, high press, hard tackling, man to man counter yes offside no.

News:
This guy is playing mind games (he's Chinese, they are well known for that mind games although not in TE), he changed his formation this morning to 43w3. I like mind games, finally something interesting in TE
