Season 39

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE QUARTER-FINAL PREVIEW

July Fourth vs ST.KOOZ United Tonight
ST.KOOZ United vs July Fourth Saturday

July Fourth 108.3 - ST.KOOZ United 100.3

We play the strongest remaining team other than ourselves Tonight and Saturday over 2 legs in the Quarter-Finals of the Champions League. Looking at the draw this is a tough game none the less and should be taken very seriously but a home fixture first meaning that we need a good performance tonight to make sure we are not sweeting on some nerves on Saturday, but ST.KOOZ United have done well so far, they also qualified from the group stages with 18 points but were shaky in their 2nd leg losing 1-0 but having won the first leg 3-2 they advanced on away goals, they are currently in a poor 12th position in their league but its the CL they have done well but we expect July Fourth to show superiority again over the 2 legs. They have a small 15 player squad but it is a 5* first XI and these can be difficult to beat especially if we are not on our game.

They have Martin Gigena suspended but they have removed him from his line-up and we presume they are happy with the 4-3N-1-2 formation here, Bojan Markovic is there main in-form striker with 19 goals and also Elvir Alstig has got 15 goals, Seppe Itonga their playmaker has 11 assists and defenders Hamid Alavi or Youssef Ben Haj Mabrouk will likely be their main free-kick taker, If they get a penalty they have Juan Ospina as their specialist.

July Fourth have no suspended or injured players going into the tie and we have plenty of options available for our team selection for this game. We may opt for 4-1-3W-2 here since it worked well for us in the 1st leg of our last 16 game, but we may play our default formation which is a possibility, 4-5-1 V is also another option for a possible counter.

ODDS: To Qualify: July Fourth 1/6 ST.KOOZ United 4/1

1st Leg: July Fourth 1/3, Draw 11/4 ST.KOOZ United 6/1
2nd Leg: ST.KOOZ United 7/2 Draw 9/4 July Fourth 8/13

Uggghhh... I been there a few times with my team but usually with the quality thats in my squad, it doesn't last too long and I normally quickly return to winning ways. When I'm struggling its usually when I get the odd draw and a series of narrow wins. My team would still win the league even if I didnt play well all season.

-2 This is "normal" if not ordinary praxis in T11. You heal one on the morning, but get another one injured due the evening. (Got my ST injured today, AGAIN) :p



-3 Are they scouts? I have 2GK, one plays in League and the other one in CL/CUP. Both are getting 6 or 7 (sometimes 8). Try to rotate, otherwise it´s just because they are eating "bananas" instead of clearing the ball. :D



-4 Hmmm, don´t be to "sure". You never know when the server could "shut down for maintenance" and generate a strange result.:p:rolleyes:

The vid´s on FB have been good this week as well, up at +70 greenies ;) ... But the IOS vids suck, haven´t been able to watch a sh*t since day 2 :(

1)I don't think it's a bug, simply it doesn't consider the 4 game rule to reset. Same for CL. Anyways, i avoid hard tackling since it alwais ends up in injured people. For istance, i'm pretty sure my CL opponent went Hard tackling since i recorded more than one nasty foul. Problem is i got 2 cards for silly ones while his 3-4 hard fould (late entrance and so on) got punished only once on a yellow-fkin messed up.


2)You didn't get my point, i'm not complaining on injuries or healed players re-injuring. T11 here works as real football. Whe you fully recover a player you don't toss him the very next match from start, at max you make him play 20 minutes and gradually get him back. I alwais make sure either a)my recovered player jumps the first match after recovery or b)i heal him completely before the next day starts (3 am). So far none of my players re-injured back after recovery.

What i'm complaining is that every time i make my 3rd and last sub, one random player injuries immediatly after letting me unable to sub him due to no more available. So far in the season i never had an injury occuring during game when i had still subs left. All of them arrived right after the 3rd substitution, leaving me in 10 on pitch.

3)One is a scout and the other one is a Q34,8 with 20 Sps to assign which i'm still not sure i'll keep on next season. I might let loose those sps and sell it for a bid war. Anyways both of them are scoring 4-5 even when they save balls or i win taking in 0 goals. Altho both of them seems to take A LOT of shoots through from range even when i have a defensive wall on the pitch. As new server doesn't offer anything better and a scout now would be idiotic (also no 22yo Q44 available) i'm in a pinch.

4)I can understand it happening playing a never used formation with the ND settings (through middle) in the cup, but against a Q15 inferior team which uses 4-4-2 flat i just don't see possible to lose 3 goals away not scoring even once. But lemme touch my private parts for you just in case :cool:

5) It was an online casino subscription + 10€ donation to play. I don't usually do these offers but last time on tokenads i made the 560 tokens just fine, so this time having 570 for 10€ looked well (sparing 25€ if buying them directly) and since online casinos keep a track of all transactions i felt pretty sure. As fact everything is recordered, but i think they're just trying to play dumb copypasting answers replying to my mails. Soon or late they'll eventually give up as really they got every proof they need to avail my ticket. I hope at least. If not, i'll kill time with my Lawyer just for the fun.

Also, on the videos side, 0 videos from iphone in the last 9 days, as well as an amazing total of 2 videos from fb for the whole season. Fkin dumbasses.

I have 8 points still in front of the 2nd place but it's a shame i didn't win due to the fact that all my rivals beat this guy:|

The team was in very bad form after the unbelieveable loss in the CL

Your at home in the second leg and only are a goal behind, at least you are not in Barcelona's or Real Madrid's position. I'd easily back you to turn it around.

Season's Scores.

As you can see, apart from the super low rating belonging to the messed up login cup match (the 4 and 3 in almost everyone's rate), My keepers are horrible, and the MC scout 7* i had to buy due to server lacking any form of good players is performing like Julian Ross last season (see Ross' scores now). Same goes for the AML/ML i took after i sold my old one, another 7* performing totally poor. Also my striker which i bet he would be my future's talent surely trains fast even at 6* but still performs badly (2 goals in the whole season).

Main problem here is the new server: next season those 7* players won't be able to sell since being none higher than my current level none will be able to buy 6* players from TL or negotiations. That's why for new servers is impossible, practically, to refresh bad purchases by selling them and buying something better or inviting. After the Backup change too i never found any player over 3*, and negotiations just aren't appealing to find a sub keeper, since almost all of them are main ones.

EDIT: the only keeper in negoatiations is a 33 yo Q 38 one while the 2 scouts GKs are both bottom table of all players with 27 and 29 yo and Q41.

League, round 17 - Perfect Tactics 7-1 BORNEO FC
Perfect Tactics: 52.4, 3-2-2-2-1 butterfly
BORNEO: 30.0, 4-4-2 classic

Routine win for us. We changed tactics in the 2nd half to see the difference between counter attack and offside trap and we paid the price with a silly goal!! A bit of an experiment there but at least we know. We stay 4 points clear of 2nd place as Guedes FC continues to win, we play each other on Sunday in what could be a title decider.

Goals: Nascimento (22'), Petersen (26', 37' PEN, 86 HAT), Mata (40'), Hardy (55'), Tarak (71'), Fabregas (81')
MOTM: Petersen

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE QUARTER-FINALS 1ST LEG

July Fourth 0-0 ST.KOOZ United

July Fourth 108.3 4-1-3W-2 First Half, 3N-1-3W-1-2 2nd Half - ST.KOOZ United 100.3 4-3N-1-2

Not much to say about this one but our tactics here failed as Papaleo blowed a dozen shots wide and over the bar and we couldn't get anything going from our corners and Mensah had no chances from free-kicks because we never got any, Markovic missed a chance to give ST.KOOZ a winner midway through the second half. Everything to play for in the second leg and remember away goals could play a big part here.

Goals: None. MOTM: Ben Haj Mabrouk
