Raphael FC 0 - 3 Feeder AFC Champions League Group Stage, Game 5

4-1-2-1-2 vs 4-4-2

A comfortable win against a much lower rated team, who failed to register a single shot on target. MOTM and fair play bonus achieved, but an injury to star youngster James Watson one minute into the second half puts a dampener on things. His knee cartilage tear could see him out for 4 days, but with a big cup game tomorrow against a better quality team the medical unit are considering bringing in a specialist to get him ready for that match

[SimplySimon]

He is on a new server that has a TM full of 3* and nothing else so it makes sense not to sell because you wont find an easy replacement. An offer like that made on my server would be a no brainer to sell the player.

Guess it's all about knowing your own TM - I've got 5* all over the place and though I managed to waste more than a few tokens in stupid bidding wars, I've learnt to be patient as at least one great player is available every day

[Morgan O'Bree]

Refuse the offer... I know your on that new server and it would be HELL trying to get a replacement for him for less than 10T.

Dunno. This one substained PT to reach 5 stars but i do use him just when i play wingers. Next season he ll be 22 so even off pt window since it s a avg fast trainer, not fast. It was the best available at season stert. Problem is scout list isnt showing wingers since 3 seasons, and so does market and nego. If i d find a 30 or more q aml ml i d prolly take the offer

My league rival is getting lucky results... won 3-4 away the other day and today against 5th place he won 1-2 away.

He's not even that active, he better drop points soon!

Hope he isn't DFC Unill in disguise.

I play away at HONDA 2 this evening in the league, we are 3 points ahead of them, so a result for us will put us 6 points clear at the top of league, a bad result will see HONDA 2 draw level with us and a draw keeps things as they are.

Balkan Boyz - Matchday 11 (Sz.4 - lvl4)



HEADLINE: Manager -Ljepoje- outrageous after 1-2 defeat in the Balkan derby: “It's just ****ing ridiculous!”

Balkan Boyz (Q41,2) Formation: 4-1-2N-1-2 (4-4-2 diamond)>> 1 - 2 << FC Kula (Q32,5) Formation: 4-1-4-1

The Balkan Boyz hosted the first Balkan derby as the Bosnian team from Sarajevo -FC Kula- visited the town of Bihać in the north-western part of Bosnia, near the Croatian border. Several thousand spectators attended, and many announcements were made in both Citys before the "big clash" as both teams compete for the league trophy this season. But despite all expectations and preparations, the game itself turned into a huge dissapointment in which The Balkan Boyz Manager -Ljepoje- burst into anger after the final whistle. As manager -Ljepoje- stated to the local press, he felt that his "team was penalized and ripped off by 3 points due the non-regularity". The game itself was quite controversial from the beginning as many domestic supporters weren't able to enter the stadium due the high securtiy measures. As the security management managed to get the situation under control, the game could finally begin.

And this is where it becomes interesting ....


4minutes into the 1th half, Ivica Olić managed get a warning after a heavy start on Paul Dilena which got injured and carried out on a stretcher. His substition Bryan Hodge got on the pitch and "things" got "spooky". Just 5 minutes after the sub, he managed to score FC Kula´s first goal and therefore give his team the lead (coincidence?). A quarter later, the same Bryan Hodge that got substituted and then managed to score, got booked (now, this guy was jacked as fu*k)! 4 minutes later, The Balkan Boyz managed to get an equalizer thanks to Edin Džeko (understandable). The same Edin Džeko got injured, 9 minutes after the equlizer (the commentary doesn't state, how/why etc). His substitution Xherdan Shaqiri entered the pitch, but just as he entered the pitch - he got a warning! At the same minute as Xherdan Shaqiri managed to get a warning, FC Kula managed to score their second goal! (Now this is fu*ked up!).. A couple of minutes later (the 68min) Hasan Salihamidžić replaced Ivica Olić as Olić seemed to drop in condition rapidly. 2 minutes after the substition is made, FC Kula midfielder Matas Birtalan gets an injury (the commentary doesn't state, how/why etc) and the guest are forced to make a change. From this point, FC Kula manages to defend themselves pretty well, despite our 60% possesion, 17 attempts on target (7 of them at the goal), 7 corners and 8 free kicks!!! His 3-5* players manages to defeat my 6 - 8* players in no time and a 1-2 defeat at home was a fact!

Due this EPIC ENGINE FAIL, Balkan Boyz miss out it´s opportunity to grab the 1th place and stays therefore on a 2nd place with 22points! Tomorrow we will be playing against the league leader -FC Beauteville- and I confident that we will get our ass handled by this Q34 team as well!

Champions League, round 5 - android fc 0-7 Perfect Tactics
Android FC: 25.5, 4-4-2 classic
Perfect Tactics: 51.7, 3-2-2-2-1 butterfly (2nd half 4-1-2-1-2 ND)

Our second 7-0 win today. As this was a dead rubber, we played half our 2nd team. Suarez got a hat trick, twice from a corner and once from a free kick. Fabregas scored via Suarez's pass and Suarez also set up Cazorla just before the break. Petersen got 2 goals, one from long range and another from a free kick. The win puts android fc rock bottom of the group and they are on the brink of getting knocked out.

Goals: Suarez (8', 50', 61' HAT), Fabregas (28'), Cazorla (36'), Petersen (40', 74')
MOTM: Petersen

We will play Pakisaji FC in the next round.

you have no chance to beat 4 - 1 - 4 -1 or 4 - 4 -2 this season , a 1* team were using 4- 4 - 2 and beated me

[kullehh]

I'm getting mad, its happens to me over and over:
Attachment 5364

Better team? Check (Quality of the playing teams: 30.3 vs 21.3)
Right formation? Check (Both threads in the formation/tactics forum say 4-4-2 counters 3-2-3-2)
Better possession? Check (Dont know when I didnt have better possesson last time ...)

Winning? go **** yourself FC Zeon!


If this would happen once I dont mind, but it happened to me so often lately. And with two losses against weaker teams I could really drop out of CL after group stage, I have to beat the other strong guy in the concluding game (Q26.9 vs my 27.8).


And on the other side my second account team wins 6-0 and 5-1 in two games in 1h with an even team to the opponents, even without me watching. Like I cared.

i am having same problem
