Season 89 Are you ready?

[Awe Imoleayo Peter]

My main men with Golden eaglets..... Luca is the highest scoring midfielder in the Club's history. Ohams and Alessio . C. can break the record for the highest goal scorer held by Begrkamp(262)in the nearest season.
Who is gonna be the highest goal scorer come end of season?

The remainder of this week and the first 3 days of the one following are the most crucial this season. I play against almost all active managers and adding to that nearly all the matches are away. It's a good thing that I have a 8 point lead (with one game more than the 2nd) for now, I reckon it's going to be very useful.






I won 0-4 away today against an active manager, although I feel like he's doing something wrong on purpose. I can't explain how he lost 2 games in a row with 4 goals otherwise. Either that or he is just bad lol.



I also play the first leg of CL's Quarterfinals matchup in 1.5 hour. If I manage to qualify the road to the Final opens up widely as my opponent is the stronger team of the remaining ones in the competition.

Which one you would pick to corner kick taker? I have scored very few goals from corners....

If it were me, Mendoza.

For me it would be a no brainer and I would pick Fernando Mendoza. Too bad we don't know how much much passing and crossing influences the corner taking. The only thing working well is that a 6star player could get some more MoM awards. As a 6 star you get less exp but MoM is, if I am not mistaken, always the same bonus for all players, so he actually gains the most exp. I especially use this for my 7 star corner kick taker.

As this one is. Who to put into starting XI, one has better quality and other has amazing passing, shooting skills.
( I know I should see,who performs better, but what do you guys think? )

I would also like to know, how important passing skill is @ midfield. And also speed/creativity and shooting. But I think no one can really answer to that...

One more great win against a competitor with similar Q.
Oh dear oppo managers, stop using 442nd against me

@k1tb
1.) Mendoza
2.) Try them... Q doesn't say anything... I had a few players, who were really good a Q, but didn't perform.
f.e: AML was never good until Costa came. I also had a lot of ST to be able to sub Kraxner... first one, who performed was Eisner... a 76% U18-ST... He made his first 5 games more goals/assists and better ratings than everyone else (sold now) in ~30 games...

Desert Rats FC played at home against 10th place and had a comfortable 3-0 victory. It was strikers day, and Emanuele Imbimbo and Julien Renard netted one apiece and late on, right-back Cipriano Elizondo scored his first goal for the club. Goalkeeper Bismark Carroll rated highly, particularly for keeping his clean sheet with a correct guess, diving to the left to keep out a visitors Penalty kick. With all but one match taking place in the small hours (the Rats match being the exception), there is an element of catch-up every day as Desert Rats can see all the other match scores before they play theirs. The Rats are still on top in what is starting to be a two-horse race...



...and a certain player is dominating the 'Top Players' tables...



Idle time this afternoon, and a couple of 2T purchases from the transfer market to replace low-Q players whose contracts are expiring at the end of this season.



Then attention turned to the Champions League Quarter-Final 1st Leg away match, and the two new recruits were on the bench but the Rats faced a formidable Level 8 opponent.



...and promptly collapsed into a heap...



The Management will be scratching around for a formation that will at least be able to get a reasonable return from the home Leg and allow Desert Rats to retire from the competition with some dignity still intact...

@Talisman
Try 4-5-1v in the second leg, countering with long passes down the flanks.
