Season 39

[Bluebird Hewitt]

Update on my weekend games.

Saturday saw a decent enough 1-0 away win against Joe FC. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the match myself due to drinking too much during the Burnley vs. Cardiff match on TV, so cannot comment much further on the match.

Sunday saw a superb 2-1 away victory over Kanarya 1907 in the CL (superb because we were down to 10 men from the 23rd minute after my ML Sutcu spat on the player). They scored in the 39th minute, but a tactical substitution saw my MC Ha come on and convert to the ML in place of my ST Nicholls, so the formation was a 4-4-1. Jorgensen scored in the 58th minute, and Dos Santos scored in the 90th minute (assisted by Jorgensen) to give me a nice 2-1 lead going into tomorrow's CL 2nd leg.

The League game, however, was a nervy 1-0 win with the majority of my backup playing, despite having 80% possession against a flat 4-5-1 formation. The nerves were put at rest when Sutcu the camel scored from a freekick.

That's now a perfect 13 out of 13 so far in the League and with my rival losing a game during the weekend, my lead has extended to 6 points. I play him in two days time.

Today's match is against fiver FC, a team I beat 4-0 away without watching, so hoping for something similar tonight.

Victory at home in the first leg of the cup quarter finals versus a 14 level team

4-1 (Bale, Villa, Vatavu, Molina)

MOTM : Bale

We are unhappy with the goal received from a free kick executed by a DC , but I think after the score was 1-1 our boys leave it all on the field for giving us a nice home advantage

The road to Wembley goes on In the pursuit of the Cup trophy

2nd place won 1-0 (lucky again).. so we are 4 points clear.

chronicles from the Eagles...is this going to be the end to our fairy run in cup competition this season? that is the question in the lips our supporters as we travel to Munchen Germany to take on Fc new Bayern in the cup quarter finals. New Bayern is arguably the strongest side in the competition with 5+ superior quality over the Eagles. Can our manager pull out another rabbit from his hat? This will be a difficult task but on any giving day...any thing can happen

Since everybody is showing off their best player, I want to show off my first and only scouts statistics this season as of yesterday:

Rene Leitner, Austrian striker, 22 yo, current quality 41 (7 stars), Free Kick specialist
Goals: 32 (16 in league, thats twice as many as the next best scorer)
Assists: 7
Best Player Awards: 10

For comparison, my best player of last seasons stats this season:

Jonathon Jackson, Australian AMC/AMR, 24 yo, current quality 29 (4 stars), no SA
Goals: 10 (6 in league, shared 4th best scorer)
Assists: 5
Best Player: 3

so, buying scouts is worth it if you get the right ones...

LEAGUE, MATCHDAY 14

Fabian FC. 1 - 1 New Team

We had already sensed it yesterday, and today's match confirmed that the TROLL descended upon us for the second part of the league. Truth to be told, tho, everything was against us today.

Match was scheduled for 2.04 PM and due to work starting at 2.00 PM for me, and the boss still around, we had to set up our 4-3-2W-1 40 mins before the start. Our opponent, the strongest one on the league and currently 2nd, changed to ND before the kick off. Coach Mad managed to get there by the 20', and the very moment he joined the match a corner kick for Fabian Fc saw his AMC (4* 170 cm) heading the ball in against our 2 aerial defenders (7* 190+ cm). With this bad omen we switched to 4-5-1 w/o sorring any effect, then to 3-2-2-2-1 to just see a lil more, but still nothing worthy. In the second half, due to boss' presence, we went 3-5-2 V just after 65' and 4 minutes later we were getting the equalizer with our new AML Stein (69'). Just when finally we turned the pressure in our favour and we were pushing them, TROLL engine acted again and decided to have a late tackle on James Derrick injurying him and leaving us in 10. Callaghan had a perfect free kick which was tho saved in corner by the keeper. In the last minutes we had a double corner kick which saw our specialist aerial Denver of course getting wide the header of the possible 1-2.

What to say. A bad day. We abandon our 26-0-0 dream knowing that despite the many issues against, we shouldn't have draw today. Still, a loss woulda of have been pissed me A LOT more than this result. We were supposed to have the cup match at 4.45 pm but seeing the air at work and on troll engine's side, i decided to postpone it past midnight to be sure to be home for it.let's hope not into getting more tricks. Fabian FC's 3* and 4* defenders blocked every attempt of my 7* players today.

Match was scheduled for 2.

What happened there... I would of expected...

FABIAN FC 1-1 New Team

But I had it earlier in the season in the Royal Rumble Cup... Sometimes when your in a bad mood because of game engine TROLL or your higher level opponent filling his starting XI with a load of new scouts just bought after you won the first leg... you just don't feel like posting any sort of match report.

Sorry to hear that, I had same problem with a Q23 team in the beginning of the new season. (2-2 draw)... Despite how much you push/attack or try, they (your team) just won't score and your opponents 3/4* star players becomes "heroes" of the day. This season has been quite awkward (opposition, game development, results etc) for many. Also it seems quite impossible to get 26-0-0 record or keep a clean sheet... I´ve been following some teams (participants in the CL/CUP etc) this season and nobody has managed to get a clean/painless season. Better teams have struggled against inferior and some result are just ridiculous.

Anyway, hope it goes well in the CUP tonight!

I won just 2-0 home so i expected to be challenging. His quality is 29 but because of weak reserves, i d say he tops 33 with main eleven. So starting with a formation not optimal against ND was the key imho. On top of that we couldn t get past those Weaker defenders no matter what. Even denton on dribbler and hutton/mason who usually gain 1on1 3-4 times a match were stopped before even going for it. A bad day. Anx i got a bad feeling for the cup too to be true, even if i spared 6 titulars in league

I do so think that changhing way of play affects the team. Every time i went from -through middle- to -down flanks- team underperformed. This time was clear
