My worst start in a season so far , just draw first match 1-1 and second match against a stronger opponent with scout players could make a difference and lost 2-0

Then won my first leg. in a cup today

MY striker not doing any good this season after I tried him in 4 matches , he loses chances so easily in front of a goal and not scoring like the last season

i will wait for recommended players and see if they will offer any good ST this time or not

What does "we need to be more aggressive on them and bring this one home" mean? and "we are too soft on them , lets try to be more agrgessive on the ball"?

Does this mean to use high pressure and hard tackles or both or none of this?

Day 4 - Palace Casuals report.

Youth Academy graduation day, and the Management didn't even bother with sign and sell the 0T product.



The Transfer Market is a bust, too. Any 5* players thereon are old has-beens, 175/176Q. I'd take a punt on an elder statesman if the Quality was good (179, even a 178 if he had an SA), but other managers obviously believe there's a market for their low-Q cast-offs...

First up for the Casuals today was a Cup Qualifying Round 1st Leg match at home, with an 0.2Q advantage over their opponents. Left winger Angelo Musto bagged a brace and striker Jack Auger added a third goal as the Casuals kept a clean sheet and take a 3-goal advantage into the 2nd Leg. On-form right-winger Maarten Wiegman became the first Casuals injury casualty this season.



Today's League match was at home against a team with identical Starting XI Quality. Full house in the stadium, Management and one supporter present = 15% home possession advantage; 4-5-1V with usual orders against 4-4-2 Classic. Assistant Manager comment 'it wasn't our day' means 'no matter what you do, you won't affect the result...'

We lost the LEAGUE game, against a stronguer opponent, but it was a balanced game, so i am good with my team.

Very unlucky to meet this strong team early in the season, now I lost 0-3 Nice cup win by flying eagles(soon to be renamed) Thanks the gooners that supported me

Well well well, a tough start makes things harder. My second team had the worst start ever of a season. First cup match against a stronger opponent. We loose with 2-0. He was a lot stronger that game and I couldn't attend. So I got 2 good transfers, powertrained 4 more and the cup match is next. Tables have turned. I start of with a quick 2-0 but he comes back at 2-1. 5 minutes later 3-1 for me and it is half time. Good, all is good. Second half commences and he scores 3-2. Grrrrr. Animation for me. Come on! Yes 4-2. Next animation a player breaks through. He is alone in front of the keeper. It is my 7 star one on one striker. COME ON!!!!! He shoots, he scores.... Oh no, he hits the pole. New animation for me. Grrrrr. I get 2 more animations but I can't get through. Last minute he gets a card and I get a free kick. Come on free kick specialist. He shoots, he scores......oh no, it is in the audience. Sigh. Out of the cup. \

No worries I have a league match next against a much weaker opponent. This should be fun. Oh crap, another episode of goalies gone wild. he gets 7 saves and the end score is 1-1. Next is the champions league. Again a weaker opponent. Maybe I can win this one. Red card in the 10th minute. I get my behind handed with a 1-6. Oh well, it can't get any worse. This time a league game against a pall of mine. I get again double the shots and on target but 1-1. Not even mom is mine. AAAAAHHHHH.

At least my main team won everythng so far.

And people keep bidding on my transfer players. A 5 star striker with free kick SA who has 300 goals or something and 270 games and they bid the absolute minimum???????????? Come on.

Hard Tackling, it pays off for me most times and my players are not necessarily carded

So this is has nothing to do with pressing style just tackles right?
