The goal of the season is only the League as in cup I 'm playing in a tough +1 lv
League: Tied for 1st in the mini-competition. It's really odd that we benefit more from winning the mini-competition than winning the league. Anyways, its a great add so have to give Nordeus kudos for that.
Champions: Group stages, passage of the round of 16 looks secure.
Cup: I don't care!!!
Associations: Up 10-7 after the 1st leg of the final. I let the team down in my match as I managed like an idiot. I loan out Carvanho yesterday for assoc, and adjusted the set-piece takers to account for it, but forgot to change them back and didn't notice it until the 60' minute. I also changed tactic but for some reason forgot to change focused passing to "through the middle", leaving it as "mixed" despite running a 4-3n-1-2, and didn't notice until the 30' minute. I also changed to defense + counters midway through the 2nd half, when I thought I had a feel for what the opponent was doing, but to his credit he noticed what I was doing and adjusted his tactics to account for and scored a couple goals to put the match away. In the semi's we won 4-0 and 3-0; 27-6 overall.
Edit: Ended up winning 23-11 in assoc. My game was tough as nails, as we trailed 0-1 at intermission, but made a change at intermission, and rallied to win 3-2.
Learning a lot about the current game engine (until now) this season:
- DML/DMR positions does not seems to be much effective anymore .. Against strong AML/AMR I now prefer to field 5 defenders; against strong ML/MR I prefer to field MR/ML in the same position, or even AML/AMR to annoy them ..
- ML/MR effectiveness goes down like a rocket when the opponent has an AMR/AML on field.
- Defensive schemes: both 3N-DML-DMR-... and 4-1-4-1 suffer a lot when there are AML or AMR on field .. I now prefer to field 5-1DMC-3MC-1 against formation with less than 3 MC; this season I haven't meet any team with 3MC-AML-AMR-ST to get a referral point
- Never adopted this kind of schemas, but I'm happy when an opponent comes with 3 ST against me; a single DMC is usually enough to keep them calm ... From my experience schemas like 4-3N-3, 4-3W-3, 3N-4-3, 3W-4-3 are pretty ineffective in the current game engine (while in reality are widely used)
Costa scored his 1.000 goal. :o
(and Meiringer does really well - especially, he's a ST)

Some giant killing that handed me second place in the challenge.. 5-1-3-1 worked majeoustly against his 3N-1-3W-1-2

Another legend left the building...
Attachment 83134
Holy shiet I turned this around!
Check the penalties lost from both sides lol
At first game I could not be active that game and I had set a completely wrong formation.
Statistics were balanced, but he scored I did not.
At this game things turned around, although I was way too better in stats.
Oppo did not attend, mysteriously.

FC dan1daking

CL - easy group , should finish 1st
Cup - Quarters , easy opponents so far
Let's see how my team has been doing!
Got them high quality 3/4 stars... surprised they're not all at bad morale.

At least we're not last!

Put my precious badge and kits in storage, so I broke out these bad boys.
Attachment 83236
Sold most of my good players on negotiations for at least a few tokens (of course, I had to cap all of them at 99% last year to do so, because auctions aren't fair), and bought all these guys for a token each, so I've built up a lot of tokens. Hopefully someday I will make use of them...
Season so far - Desert Rats FC
League is looking good, already got an away draw and away win against nos 2 and 3 in the table. Manager of no.2 keeps coming to support against me, but as I have several of my own supporters each match (thanks, guys) his presence is merely an annoyance than anything serious.
Attachment 83238Attachment 83239
Champions League is also looking good, just a home match against the 2nd in the Group to decide who finishes 1st and 2nd.
Attachment 83240
And steady progress reported in the Cup, but the opposition Quality is getting better as we go on. Next round is against a 4%Q better side.
Attachment 83241
Associations: Desert Rats recorded 3 wins and a draw in the 1st Association weekend, but their Association could only manage a 2nd place after 7 consecutive wins.
Only two personnel changes since the squad was reported at the beginning of the season, a series of matches where the defence shipped goals at a detrimental rate forced the replacement of the older left-and right backs.

Attachment 83243
Since the changes, Desert Rats have conceded only one goal in 11 matches in all competitions
The 1st trophy of the season is secure I can say :)
(at least some plate for the Cup)
Attachment 83251
In League, tomorrow is a critical game vs the 1st (both lost one game).
I have better q but he is a treble winner.
Let's see
Attachment 83252
The season so far - Home Guard FC
League: Top with a small points advantage. Got an away draw against 2nd place, play 3rd place in a couple of days' time.
Attachment 83267Attachment 83268
Champions League: Tied at the top of the Group, last match is at home vs 2nd to see who gets the Group honours.
Attachment 83269
Cup: Despite a determined fight against a slightly higher Quality team, went out at the Round of 32, the earliest exit in club history.
Attachment 83270
Associations: 3 defeats and a win in the first Associations weekend, the rest of the Association fared similarly and finished in 4th place.
Playing squad: The early Cup exit spurred the Management into making improvements, 7 players released, 7 new ones signed.

My champions league is just a lions den...I didn't notice till now.
League going good, I am leading with 4points even as I am not the best team... Now second placed team is supporting my opponents. Bad spirit of sportsmanship

So , Im playing against this team only 3% weaker than me and he is playing 4 4 1 1 and im playing a good counter with 451v.
I score a goal and then nordeus decide "screw you im gonna make you lose" and he scores two goals which if I could show you on the animation were total ><><...
I then rage change to 3 5 2 flat and first time ever use all 3 changes and THIS HAPPENS !!!!!! by the way , before the injury we had 61 - 39 possesion and everything in our favour, he wasnt present so we had 13% bonus possesion .. And thats not all ! , This actually happened to the 1st guy in the league as well ( im 2nd and even with a draw i would've become 1st) ... Some days when the game doesnt want you to win , you WONT
By the way in the morning we played CL and lost 0:1 at home against the guy we beat with same formation same everything 1:3 on away game..
Here is what happened to the #1 guy,CHELSEA.. Im not saying that this is bad for our club i just want to point out how screwed the game is on some days..

The next thread should be "Season 94 - are you ready to complain?" ;)
With such a large number of players we are bound to have few strange results every day. Law of large numbers (x% of results will be weird), combined with selection bias (if result normal, i.e. I win - I don't post, if I think result not normal, i.e. I lose even though I should win - I post), has led to the current state of the forum.
I lost all games versus 4-4-1-1 weaker teams, looks like they up this formation.Quote:
he is playing 4 4 1 1
I really love FA...

What a strange season it is again. Second in the league. Running in the cup but somehow got kicked out of the CL. Then on to the supercup. First game is a win of 0-1. Next game I dominate the game again but the advisary scores 3 times and wins with 0-3. Not a troll result but just strange.
My second team was a victim in the cup of a tanker. Facing a level higher team full of 7 and 8 star players is not really funny. I tied the first game in the away match. I even thought I had a chance. Stupid me. In my home match I got trashed with 0-5. Ouch. Long time since I had such a defeat. I am still cruising in the CL of 1 level higher though. Lets see how long I last.
The red card fever is back though. Red cards galore. It is a long time ago that I saw so many red cards in both teams. I even had a game with 2 red cards. Supersubs is hard to play right now as I am already missing 2 key players that I had to replace :)
Aand we have regained the #1 spot after beating the leader 4:2 .. Gonna play the cup semis in 5 mins and we in the Quarters in Super League .. Going for the triple (unfortunalety with the super league instead of CL) :))
Won 0:1 in the Cup semis ,but it shouldve been more considering the chances we had.. I think we will wrap it up at the home game
Bad Season!!!

Anyone else noticed a marked increase in yellow cards this season? Desert Rats averaged a card every two matches in each of the previous 6 seasons; this season they've already got 32 in only 35 matches. I've not changed the way they play in terms of tactics or orders, and it's the established players, not the newcomers this season, that are bearing the brunt of the increase...
Meant to post this myself. I play with 'normal' tackling but 9 of my starters, including all four defenders, are hanging by a thread. And the only field player who has not got a ban threat hanging over him just got back from one. This season I had my AML (who hasn't got even a yellow in the previous campaign) red-carded in the 1st minute with no explanation given.
I suspect it finally kicked in for Nordeus that lack of injuries in training and a plethora of med packs at higher levels allows us to field the strongest starters day in day out. So, it's raining yellows. :mad:
Hey guys, take a look if you want at the index of guides that Ive been editing (as the old one, which have the link there too and still sticky) right now is a little bit old cause many guides talk about old versions.
Suggestions about what to add, and what guide to ask for, are welcome :)

@talisman: Increase of yellow and red cards. I even had a game with 2 red cards. Supersubs started and 2 of my key players had to be replaced before the match. Not many subs left that way haha. But yeah, definitely an increase for my team and my advisaries. Red cards almost seem to have no influence though. I got 2 red cards and barely lost. An advisary got an early red card only to win the game with 4-0 from me...........................
Yes, this week is trolling n card week
Last week was trolling n injury week
Let's see what they bring on last week of the season
