Season 89 Are you ready?

[talisman]

Desert Rats FC played their first away League match of the season, and although the opposition were -21% in Quality and were without a goalkeeper (striker playing in goal), negotiated the match carefully and without controversy. Patrick Tillmans, playing AMR today, had obviously remembered his free-kick boots as he scored with his first attempt at a set-piece four minutes before the break, and on the stroke of half-time striker Emanuele Imbimbo increased the lead with a 30 yard screamer. Imbimbo also notched up an assist in his 9.2-rated MoM performance when he fed the ball to left-back Garry Crawford eight minutes before time. A welcome 3-0 win ushers the Rats up to 5th place in the embryonic League table.

Later today, Cup Round of 32 1st Leg match away to a fellow-countryman, Desert Rats yielding a Level and 8% in Quality. The squad is a bit light in the AML/AMC positions, so a bit of trade in the Scout market (after finding nothing in the ordinary TM) yielded a three-position player which means that the Rats have ample cover in all AM positions.
