Season 39

[July Fourth]

Karl Heinze Schneider: the Saviour

New Team's ace striker paybacks coach Mad's trust in the last part of the season letting him lift the trophy again!



New Team: eQ 42, 3-1-4-2 / 4-1-2-1-2.
Real Madred : eQ 34.2, 5-1-3W-1 / 4-1-3W-2.

What an amazing sight to see a forgotten striker rise back in the final matches and even give us the thropy. The match was FULL of bullets but we managed to avoid em all matrix style. We started of good having a couple of shoots and blocking a dangerous counter, but eeven pushing we couldnt score once. That due to Real Madred's doped 4* Dmc who was ALWAIS on our shoots' trajectory. At the end of the 90', we counted 9 balls blocked by him. Then we had Diamond injured due to a late tackle momentarily leaving us in 10. As soon as we organized our sub (Le Blanc), the balance was already being equalized but then Schneider jumped his marker and got fouled in the Area! After a discussion between the Refree and his crew, it wasn't penalty but a free kick! Hutton raged in the cross and our DC Yuma majesticly jumped higher to head in the 1-0 (33')! At this point Scheider was already unstoppable and after having the keeper disarm two of his shoots he found the perfect route for Denton and served him an easy tap in for the 2-0 (37')!!
After the half time coach Mad reorganized into a more balanced 4-1-2-1-2 knowing a second ST was coming on the other side: and so it happened when Real Madred switched to 4-1-3W-2The narrow diamond gave us a wide margin, pressure, and ball possession lead and the only thing between us and 3-4 goals was again S.Gil, the doped DMC. But just when we were tiring out and the balance was evening Schneider went straight for the keeper instead of serving an outer shoot and after jumping two defenders pierced the goal for the 3-0 (81')!!! The match ended there but as we feared before the start from a last minute corner the still doped Gil served a perfect cross for the ST Lopez giving them the flag's goal.

Scorers: C.Yuma, R.Denton, K.Schneider, J.Lopez.
MoM: K.Schneider (9), New Team.

Looks like you won it comfortably in the end with your opponents getting a late consolation goal.

It's been a great season from New Team and hopefully we will see more of the same next season.

Ya apart from that DMC. Second straight double for us. Altho the new server is too penalizing, the 7* scout MC FAILED big time but i cant sell it, so next seaaon he ll be rhe reserve. The good thing is we will have to buy 1-3 players at max next season and we ll have a budget of 25 m without the need to apend tokens for them. A couple of players might leave too and i m sure they d cause some good bid wars over new season, expecially Mark Lenders (Q44,8 1on1 St next season).

I'm going to need some defenders I feel, Ramirez and Hogan are the only 2 defenders in my squad now that have a long term future at my club, Adams moves out the PT bracket at 26 next season but still will be 6*, Holvoet and Novotny are finished. Campbell was back-up to begin with and will be sold for $. May need new MC and also a new ML/AML I feel. Strikeforce and AMC and DMC are more than covered for the long term and we have a decent enough GK for the next season.

Yeah, I lost on CL final because the opponent (4-4-2ND) countered my formation (butterfly), I guess. No manager watched that match. I woke up 12 minutes after K.O time. And yeah I saw my team lost 2-0.
Meanwhile, my team's going to be an unbeaten team on league.

Like on the leaque performance. I had a similar setup last season. Such a draw-back sucks, but it also makes you hungry to get back onto track.

Yesterday saw a heart thumping performance from Rhondda Rovers against Joe FC, as the pursuit of perfection was seriously under threat.

Both of us began the game with 4-4-2 classic formations, but it looked like the engine trolls were going to strike (there is a Q10 difference between us) as two goals from their only shots from Joe FC put us 2-0 down in 22 minutes and eventually lead at half time.

Outraged, a tactical change was made by taking off Karol Lewandowski and bringing on Sung-Hwan Ha at half time, changing the formation to a 3-5-2 and went attacking.

Kokoh Panji Arianto got a goal back in the 68th minute, with an assist from Sung-Hwan Ha, to make it 2-1 to Joe FC. Concerns were raised when Jose Ramirez Gussago was injured in the 75th minute and was substituted by Ivan Ormeno in the 81st minute. At this point, we now went hard attacking and changed the passing from mixed to short. In the 86th minute, Ivan Ormeno scored from a Tomas Sedlak corner to make it 2-2. The comeback was almost complete, but was there enough time for one more?

In the 90th minute, we had one last chance...........

'Arianto tries to flick it past the defender'
'Arianto is past the last defender'
'Arianto unleashes the shot'

'GOAL FOR RHONDDA ROVERS!'

The comeback was complete in the final moment of the game. Rhondda Rovers won 3-2 (made even sweeter as their manager was watching the game as well) going into the final game of the season away against Underground FC, who are currently in complete shambles, playing players out of position and can only name one sub with two players suspended from their 14 man squad. Surely a win, and perfection, is on the cards?

36 minutes to find out.

If your going to get a 26-0-0 or go unbeaten for that matter, your always going to need to that bit of luck. You just had it in the last game you played. I didn't I gave away a penalty and they scored and I lost 2-1 yesterday in the league. But saying that mind 2 seasons ago I conceded a penalty while level at 2-2 and my opponents blasted it over the bar and I stayed unbeaten that season. So funnily enough, the game reversed itself 2 seasons later after I had that bit of luck.

Yeah, the last match was ridiculously close, as well as a few other matches I haven't been able to watch but managed to scrape by 1-0.

I have played my final match against Underground FC...........

PERFECTION ACHIEVED!!!

A 7-0 away hammering of Underground FC saw us achieve a perfect 26 of 26. I would post a screenshot up, but I'm struggling to get it on my Mac (don't know how to 'Print Screen' on it).

My last league game is in approx 2hours and I could end up as the league winner if the current leauge leader loses its last game (but that is quite unbelievable to happen)...Anyway, all I´m looking forward now is that this day is going to end so I can buy/sell some players/scouts, purhcase some Tokens and see which kind of opposition I'm gonna face in the CL and CUP

Yes the busier period of the game is about to begin soon, a brand new season. the last 2 weeks have been quite silent in the forum until recently with the Cup/CL results were coming in from forum members, next it will be the new seasons draws and managers making new signings and seeing what lies ahead of us for the next 4 weeks.
