Mid Season Report
Bolton Wanderers sit Position 9 with a record of 4-5-5 after having started the season with 4 consecutiuve draws. After a surprise win with a lone strike in the 80th minute jeopardizing our tanking, the manager has decided to be more deliberate in his attempts to not promote.
Alas, some abandoned teams are impossible to lose to. Withstanding that, we still predict to be in 10th place in two weeks time. I've managed to avoid large morale drops due to bad losses for the most part.
Cup competition is going smoothly. A single loss in the opening tie and one draw in R32 are the only black marks on a winnable competition. I'm up against a turk that pushed me into 2nd place in our CL group after he responded to my 1-2 victory in his ground with a 2-3 at mine.
Leading 2-3 going into the home leg of our CLKO match vs my league leader, confident I will take it but I doubt that I will progress beyond the next round. Will be matched up against a token buying titan a level below that has a very very good squad. here's his top player, keep in mind he is a level below me so this player is 8.5 stars to him.
Those are real stats,not transfer market fake stats, lol. My defense is my strongest unit so I will likely use a young physical squad with high pressing to deny him the ball.
I'm enjoying the new drawing system where you are more likely to play teams in multiple competitions. My cup semifinal is much more exciting to look forward to knowing that each side has won a match off the other in CL.
Here's the better half of a promising squad that I expect to challenge for a treble with in two seasons time.
