Squad list as in my post, but the players were mainly 3* and low 4*, a couple with SA, a 5* MC and a 6* striker with Penalty SA. Had to tweak the side to get the best players in the first 11, but was pretty pleased with the performances in the two matches yesterday.
Two players were added yesterday, and two more today - a 4*/38Q MC from the Youth setup (a lot better than three of the existing MCs and a steal at 10T, bearing in mind that I could have spent that in the TM getting a similar player), and a 5*/44Q DC/DR with Aerial defender SA from the TM, captured for 9T after a protracted battle with an opponent who continually bid at the last second. The second Youth player (2*/29Q) and two 3*/32Q players from the squad have been sold to top up the coffers.
All the achievements were preserved, indeed, had a few I didn't earn
*Merry Christmas to you and everyone else here...
Today's report:
Desert Rats expected a fairly easy home match against 13th place for Christmas Day, but obviously the Nordeus Gods were against them, as between early morning training and the match time, an obvious bot team was taken over by a human manager and that made all the difference. The Rats suffered an early injury to their DMC and a DC with the secondary DMC attribute had to be pushed forward to compensate. Right winger Emerson de Alencar Arraes put the home side ahead in the 37th minute, but the visitors, who were set up with two wingers but spent the day playing short passes through the centre, struck back with 12 minutes to go, and despite a relentless assault on the away side's defence, Desert Rats couldn't find a winner.
