Season 76 - Are you ready?

I conceded those goals only since I played a few matches with all players in oppo's half. With a proper formation, I have had only 1 upset, a 0-4.
If my defenders were not in form, I'll like to remind you Atlético Kolkata has conceded only 1 goal in 4 Cup home games and none in 3 CL home games. Overall goals conceded are 3 in 6 and 4 in 7 for Cup and CL respectively. I'm yet to play today's Cup game.

And tanking in league was my target since Day 1.

Yes I realize that, but getting shelled like that definitely has an effect on performance and morale. I've had seasons where one bad cup loss caused a downswing for 5 games without a win.
You need to tank with more subtlety to avoid huge morale loss and form decrease.

League round 14

Both managers present. ND is not the best counter to counter this formation.

Played trap/man most of the first half, wanted to test my fullbacks.

Another positive day. I probably secured my qualification to the cup 1/2 and I'm still going on in the league. Too bad Cender and River Plate didn't tie, it would have been much better to me since I still have to face them away.

Day 16 - Palace Terriers report.

Normal service resumes as Palace Terriers play away at 7th place and win convincingly, 7-0. Right-winger Declan McGranaghan achieves 20 goals so far this season with another 4 goals, right-back Zander Young contributed a brace, and central defender Onder Chamoun scored the opening goal. Striker and set-piece taker Brian Horne made three assists.

What a day! Flying Eagles didn't fly today, we lost gloriously. one of the new signings got injured. Played friendly with a stronger team and won with defensive and counter attacks order(the only good news I guess).

Good day although I couldn't attend

[reddeviljohn]

But whats the point of playing, if you have to lower your team to play. This is IMO ludicrous. Then I would rather leave, than start all over

That is what I did when I got to level 27 and it became boring and transfer market was pants

I've won more matches than I've lost this season, and I occasionally do field proper teams. But I don't play my most important players in the tanking games (GK Moreau, Klochkov, Jorge (both multiposition DC), MC Garayar, AML/AMC John, AMC/AMR Bircan and AMC/ST David). The listed players have been the most consistent. And Moreau is the captain, so he shouldn't play in a losing cause.

I've taken account of all this before, don't worry. Perfect record in Cup and only 2 losses (both 1-0 away) in CL. I look for the CL/Cup double, those fund me. And I'm getting full house in all competition (yes my league price is £7 compared to £11 in the other two, and it increases as I progress).
