Unbeaten streak ends at 117. It was a good run. A little relieved that it ended.
Hard to say a bad result but if so, we got our first "bad" result today, 1 vs 1 in Champions League and a 4-2 victory in League and we moved on 1st.
Day 7 - Palace Casuals report.
After 8 straight wins, a draw in the League against the bottom team. Striker Massimiliano Gerini scored an equaliser 4 mintues from time, in response to the visitors scoring three minutes earlier.

BTW: 'Our opponent gave it 120%' is Nordeus-speak for 'you were (almost) Trolled'...
120% means full win bonus.

Atlético Kolkata Day 7 Report
The first time we won on a trot this season, a 3-1 away. Falamarzi started as forward instead of David, and assisted Garayar from a CK in 17th. Then at 34th, Thiago crossed in for Kayis to score. I thought we can grab a few more, so Pirlo got subbed for David to play at an alternative AMC position, since there was no FK specialist in the starting lineup. But alas, we conceded 2 minutes later at 77'. Then at 84' a freekick was awarded, and David confirmed the goal. Nothing new of his part, he's scored around 15 goals like that last season. With some positive results elsewhere which eased our pursuit for the title, the standings:http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/03...8d2a07def2.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/03...3724e8abdd.jpg what I've learned today that I can't sub Pirlo, very useful in both defence and midfield.
It worked I broke the cycle was offered 4 consecutive gk via recommendations so took one and now just offered striker/am so took him would have like Def but never mind
good morning! shopping for Reserves, and with luck also a striker

Day 8 - Palace Terriers report.
Cup day, and Palace Terriers were away in the 1st leg, and obtained a 0-0 draw. DMC Philip McKay was injured but the Management was called away at the time and couldn't enact a substitution until late in the match.
Attachment 63989
Another away match for the day, this time in the League, and Terriers struggled to a 1-1 draw against a lower-Q team. Another injury, this time to 'keeper Aurelian M'Futi - the Management tried the 'keep the injured 'keeper on the pitch' bug, but the replacement appeared to be a midfielder, and the team was suffering in that area so the substitute was made. Left-back Rasmus Jensen scored the Terriers goal after a free-kick by striker Brian Horne.

Day 8 - Palace Casuals report.
Two away games today for Palace Casuals, as well. The first was a League match against 8th place, a team with roughly equal Quality. Casuals took a 2-0 lead through Massimiliano Gerini and Maarten Wiegman, the home side pulled a goal back late on.

Palace Casuals played their away 1st Leg in the Cup this evening, and the front three shared out the goals again, but Angelo Musto got greedy and bagged a hat-trick. Casuals take an impressive 5-1 lead into the home 2nd Leg.

Drew 2-2 absent away in league with a full reserve backline vs last place. I had misgivings about my orders and was going to adjust them ingame but slept in lol. In this case I should have used a more defensive formation and played more to my strengths than my opponents weaknesses.
Edit: Another draw. This time at home. I've raised win bonus for next match. I really hope my 3rd forwards get a nego bid soon. I want to replace him badly. My top two forwards are horrid together.

Hmmm....it's been a while, 4days now I guess.... I have been absent from the game too, but my team has been winning, my goal keeper has been scoring free kicks, my assist kings for the two teams are playing so well, Its been a good season except for some cup trolls.
14 minutes and Vanis makes a pure Hattrick that vanished the opponent.

I was waiting for this !!!!! He always scores more than me, BUT NOT TODAY !!!!

5 seasons in the doldrums and we're back. ;)
In league we had a 7th, 2nd, 13th, 14th and 4th before the restart.
We restarted last season around Day 5 or 6: out of the Cup and starting bad in CL (failed to get out the Group on Tie Break).
Won the league unbeaten but we'll ignore that for record purposes because winning by buying 5* in a 2/3* draw of abandoned teams is not exactly an achievement - and the main purpose was to explore changes before getting down to it. :p
Currently were 1st in the league, still in the Cup and leading the CL, although qualification in CL is no formality. Budget stands at around 100T, less than 2bn, and around 400 of each pack.
Our hopes for this season is to challenge for the treble and finish preparations to make a better challenge next season.
Congratulations to Nordeus on training changes - loving it so far. It offers a degree of customisation for those anoraks and a degree of protection for those blind tappers - who'd have thought that using Attacking drills for Goalkeepers could be so nice. :p
But for me the best thing about it is the enhanced condition management it offers.
The %age 'quality' system has however messed up any comparison with Q and SP in considering Star attainment since a %age system doesn't work well with a Q/SP allocation with 3&5 as base factors. The SP/Q system can't cope with these Training awards now at 1%. (I even managed to get a player 5 SP away from next 'star' achieve that next star at 100% but that is expected.)
However, if Q dissapears from the attributes then this scaling and rounding anomaly will too.
I do hope that there will be some means introduced to indicate what the exact training gains were, but its no big gripe.
Recommended players could still do with some work regarding frequency, appropriateness and price.......but proper young Scouts being available through this albeit limited route is useful.
Assistant Manager is still and always be an idiot. Not a patch on the Buffs own Otto Teem. ;)
Steady the Buffs!
FireCats just pulled a win

Day 9 - Palace Terriers report.
Palace Terriers had a mid-afternoon Champions League Group match, at home to the team 3rd in the table. Striker Kamel Hamlili set himself up as assister-in-chief, providing opportunities for fellow striker Samir Gross (2) and midfielder Lukasz Sapela, before scoring himself late on in the match. Midfielder Serik Scherbakha scored the first goal, and Sapela became the third Terriers injury victim in three matches.
