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.Quote:

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
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 dayQuote:

Balkan Boyz - Matchday 11 (Sz.4 - lvl4)
http://i47.tinypic.com/2vnfdpv.png
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! :mad:
Scorers: Don´t give a damn!
Subs: Don´t give a damn!
MOTM: T11 ENGINE (rate:10 OF 10!)
4-1-4-1 counters the narrow diamond, especially if its ML/MR are motivated.Quote:

I've had games like this with my power trained squad, drew a number of games in the league in the last 4 seasons and I even lost 2-1 last season in a league game and had about 20 games where I won by the odd goal. so it means in the last 4 seasons about 80% of my games have been confortable wins in the league with about 15% being close wins and 5% of games being fail.Quote:

The sole fact that 4-1-4-1 counters diamond is idiotic. In the end it differs not much from 4-4-2 which is countered by diamond itself. Let alone that a single striker vs 4 men should be riddiccoulous. another sample is that the counter to 4-5-1 is 3-5-2. Basically makes no sense as you play with one less defender. And an extra st just how can overcome a 4-back plainly? To me is senseless. Like playing with 4-3-2-1 wide vs a 3 dc defense and not having your wings do a sigle action. To me: crap.
Lol... lets not forget that 4-4-2 Classic COUNTERS 4-2-3-1 on this game!!!Quote:

I'm starting to think counter formations are a hoax!!
I lost with butterfly, 4-5-1v AND 4-1-2-1-2 in the cup against the 4-4-2 classic. Twice against a weaker team.
Just use your best team, that's all I can say.
comfortably won my league game 4-0, no injuries today, so injury count this season still at 7. Combined with the 8-0 in the CL game before, it was a good day, if an unimportant one.
My CL group rival made a draw against the weakest team, so it looks like I will win the CL group if I can win against that team. Its very defensive, my first match against the team was 2-1 only, but I SHOULD win. But otoh, my rival should have won against him, too. If I draw, it depends on the number of goals my rival can score against the other trash team.
Tomorrow are two important matches, a game against place 2 in the league with slightly better average quality, and a cup game against a friended player, again with slightly better quality. Fortunately, my two injured players will be ready again tomorrow. I probably need more green packs to survive that day, I hope I get some more vids in addition to friendlys and presents from friends.
The key at 4-1-4-1 is the DMC, who gives the center more stability. That is where 4-1-2-1-2 focuses the attack (if played in a normal way). And with the offensive motivated wingers (as July described), you can play nice counter attacks. I made very good experiences with it against 4-1-2-1-2, too.Quote:

I had problems with 4-5-1V as well against 4-4-2 in the CL some days ago (won luckily by standards), but I believe it was no normal 4-4-2, but a motivated one.Quote:

HONDA 2's prefered formation is a 4-2N-1-2W-1 and there main players consist of Gareth Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney... But who needs them when you have Kevin Mensah, Stacey Papaleo and Michu. A win for July Fourth should move us 6 points clear and into control in the league this season, but a defeat here will mean HONDA 2 will draw level with us at the top and Thai Team 5 points behind and a reinforced FC Mimonos who have bought 2 scout defenders in the last 2 days who will also be 5 points behind.
Team News: Chuck Norris and Hatsune Miku are both out injured for July Fourth and Mensah is back from suspension.
ODDS: HONDA 2 9/2, Draw 5/2, July Fourth 8/13.
Yeah, but the funny part is that I´ve been playing against this guy for 3 seasons (both league and cl) and I´ve beaten him like 7 of 8 times (despite if I use 442 diamond, classic or 4-1-4-1 my self). He is playing the 4-1-4-1 formation for 3 seasons now and It´s like "his" thing.Quote:

Probably today it is really trolleleven day. :(
I've got a friend team that I played many seasons in the old cup format and it took me ages to crack a way to beat 4-1-4-1 and that was to throw the kitchen sink at the formation by playing a very aggressive 3W-4-3 against it, It seems like the 4-1-4-1 doesn't like it if you try to hammer it with an aggressive formation, but I don't know if I goot lucky that day or not because it was against a team 8 quality higher than me and I probably wont face such strong opposition like that again that plays the 4-1-4-1.Quote:

July Fourth look on it this season, and we are playing some great stuff. Apart from that 1-1 draw and the 3-1 win when Pepp Crawford saved us that day, we have been excellent and looked unstoppable in the league and a 5-2 win over 2nd placed HONDA 2 away just shows you the class our team have and we move 6 points clear and now should have problems going onto win the league from here.
L.McNamara got us off the mark on 3 minutes from a curler from just outside the area, before Michu, Papaleo and Hardy begun card collecting for July Fourth but we injured one of the many CR7's that are on this game. Hardy got our second from knowhere on 34 minutes and Papaleo with a solo move to beat defenders made it 3-0 to July Fourth just before half-time. When the game looked as good as over HONDA 2 needed a good start to the 2nd half and they did after Bale passed to Rooney to pull one back for the home team right after restart and then the opponent manager made substitutes and fired up 3 forwards to an attempt to salvage any type of result, but this allowed Michu to take full advantage since he was given the space to curl it past the keeper, HONDA 2 did find another goal Labarces but once again it was a consolation as we had a Mensah free kick late on that was crossed in for Papaleo to header it away to ensure we won quite well in the end but it was probably a bit harsh on HONDA 2 in the end, Zidane could of made it 6-2 right at the end.
Opponent Manager was present, Good to see him giving it his best shot at us.
Goals: L.McNamara (3) Hardy (34) Papaleo (45,83) Rooney (50) Michu (61) Labarces (70) MOTM: Adams.
I can say same formations with better quality does the job unless troll comes out.Quote:

A rather disappointing performance against a Q19 team (we are like...2,2 times stronger? Jeez) proved that game engine is on a rampage for the second consecutive day. We started, and kept for all the match, with a crushing 70% ball possession and the bar in our full favour as usual. Callaghan got us the first goal from a early free kick (6'), and from that till the half time all was shown was us pummeling them down to bits but constantly being stopped by 1* or 2* defenders. Schneider failed two consecutive chanches sending the ball to nowhere.
In the second half we started from where we left it letting in Fubuki Shirou (DR) and Patrick Everett (DL) along with Johnny Mason reforming our usual 4-1-2-1-2 not to be trolled, but to troll back. The history repeated as we kept pressing the goal zone until Schneider (the only one between midfielders ad forwards still at 0 goals this season) found the right pass for Mason. The navigated ex captain after having failed a one on one this time strikes in the 2-0 (77'). Shirou close th curtain with a magistral free kick before the end of the match (83').
We hence won 0-3 with the opponents unable to sign even a tiny action in 90', and STILL having at the end the same amount of shoots then us (14/14 6/9). New Team peaks 15 points with 19 goals scored and one conceided. Voices reports Coach Mad's weird face when controlling match's statistics:

Wednesday (day 11).
LEAGUE: Match 9.
Result: GIANLUCA FC 0-1 LONDON CITY
Goal: Brown 54
M.o.M: Clayton Manning
Jake Brown settled this drab affair after converting a Terry Duggan cross, just before the hour mark. The rest of the game was instantly forgettable.
CHAMPS LEAGUE: Group Match 5.
Result: TAK FC 0-4 LONDON CITY
Goals: Brown 47, Andersson 57, Zola 63, Yashin 76
M.o.M: Oleg Yashin
This was a typical, "game of two halves". Both sides had already qualified, but top spot was still up for grabs. The first half was tight, with very few chances. After the break, everything changed in our favour. Jake Brown pounced immediately after the resumption with a solo effort. Stig Andersson added a second after a mazey run. Adam Zola made the game safe with a header from yet another Andreas Costa corner. Oleg Yashin rounded off the scoring with a finish from an Andersson cross. We now need just a single point from the match against the bottom (pointless) team, to win the group.
TEAM THOUGHTS.
We still remain 4th in the table, two points behind the top team, so its going to be a very close division to win.
I think 4 out of 5 goals my opponents shot were "corner, second corner, goal". However i had my first "corner, second corner, miss" today. Ofc me, not my opponent^^
After my failgame in CL at least i won in league with 5-2 (two double corner goals here). I really hope my team doesnt fail tomorrow in cup...
against 4-1-4-1, i prefer using 3-5-2 V-style, such avoiding his dmc and going high offense since he only has one striker and no amc/aml. Against formations without DMC i prefer narrow diamond, too.
Edit: 2 injuries in a friendly with light tackling? wheres the vent thread again???
injury count this season: 9
Win in the league 3-0 and a draw that secures us the 1st place in the UCL today
On behalf of my friend baku lol.
He had a light stretching before the match, and both his keepers got injured at once! XD Both were out for 6 days and he managed to get one to 1 day since he has the big match tomorrow. In cl he didn't have any gk left so he put as keeper G. Molle, playing just half decent team due to having already 12 pts. Here what turned out:

The T11 CUP - Draws: Balkan Boyz face Thai-team "Nun FC" in final- eight
____________________***______________________
http://i46.tinypic.com/izalvr.png
Wednesday's draw was the biggest talking point of the day in the Club house, as Balkan Boyz were drawn against the Thai team "Nun FC" while their friends, -Dynamo Swag- face "FK Kosice" from Czech Republic. Manager -Ljepoje- stated earlier that it will definitely be a very tough game in all aspects, but not a impossible task.
The team captain Nemanja Vidić said that his team mates will do they best to win without any flaws, and therefore secure future advancement in the T11 CUP. The young striker, Stevan Jovetić added that his team believe they have enough in them to do what is expected of them to do when the two teams "clash" tomorrow evening: score, score and score!
The 1th leg will be played on Thursday at 23.44CET and the 2nd leg on Saturday at 22.26CET.

my cup draw. Lets see if I lose in round1 or 2. the Q32 guy has a very good starting eleven, his subs are poor so the actual difference will be more than 4points.
if I, by some miracle, would get past round2, there is a real chance to actually win it. Nobody is really stronger than me then. But a very tough road nevertheless
Haha, played a 2-1-4-1-2 formation and managed to get a 0 - 7 win against my CL opponent :p
enough for today, way to sleep now ;)
lost 2-1 in the league today, went down to second place, no excuses. tomorrow I have an extremely important match against the team on the third place which we have to win. first place has 25 points, I have 24 at second and the third place has 23.
in the CL won 4-1, doesn't really matter as I already guaranteed the first place in my group.
