Got the goals and qualified. Scored super early. Had 13 of 19 (68%) shots on target. Immense. Into the cup semifinals for the first ever time.
Was going to play my Gala XI (my best 11 players,) irrespective of what competitions they normally play in. I have two diluted XIs you see, one for the league games, and another XI for cup games. Today, playing a game I needed to win by 2 goals, I was going to play my best 11 players and continue switching the formation and style of play to fit the events of the game. Then I changed my mind and decided to play a 73% AML|AMC|AMR in CM. Why? He has a 126% shooting. Weak in aggressiveness and strength he might be, but I figured my team would need someone capable of rifling the ball in from midfield. And then how many times do CM have all the space in the world at the edge of the box but choose to pass to an attacker who's offside?
Kindda paid of I think, even if his goal was headed in from a CK. He probably contributed to the 13 shots on target. His CM partner grabbed the brace.
I have a fine chance of making the cup final BTW. My opponent is a 73% team who, although, lead their division, have lost 3 league games.
