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.

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.

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.Quote:

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 leagueQuote:

Yeah, cup competitors have even lost once or twice in their leagues. Guess i'm still lucky.
Anyways, you asked them and here we are:
CUP PREVIEW
http://i33.tinypic.com/352kyle.jpg
[Alex FC Q 47.3
[Willem Asset FC Q 49.1
[ New Team Q 41,5
[ Del Piero Q 42,4
[ IFK Q 41,1
[B.M.gladbach Q 42,8
[Kaiserlauten Q 43.5
[ Bar Aurora Q 45.5
William was Q 47,5 yesterday, Alex was 46, Del Piero was 41.4, Bar Aurora 43,5.
Amazing to see how they are spending loads of tokens onto personal training. Given these Qs even peakin 1-2 more wont change much for the top teams. Basically we are the underdogs :p
Well I hope your opponent puts up a good game for you only because he's called Del Piero :)Quote:

The fans are happy to see us win away against a bit better team.
3 points is the difference between that team and us, and he's 4th right now.
Hopefully we still have chances to qualify for CL :)
What? D:Quote:

M.o.M: Dave Kennedy
We duly completed the formality of beating the bottom team, although we'd have liked to have improved our goal difference slightly more, against the team with just 1 point, and a -61 gd. Yonni Criban started the scoring when he converted an early penalty after a defender tripped Hector Morgada in the box. We had to wait until just before the break before Terry Duggan added our second, from a pass by Lukas Duran. Zvonimir Toljar caused us some nervous moments after her pulled one back with twenty minutes to play. But a brace from Dave Kennedy in the space of five minutes, gave us the win we so needed.
TEAM TALK.
After today's match, we are still 4th, but just 2 points behind the leaders. Tomorrow, we play away at 5th, who are just 1 behind us, and who we drew with at the start of the season.

Wouldn't you want the 2nd place team to beat the 1st place team to make it closer at the top?Quote:

Let´s see how it develops by tomorrow :DQuote:

My ST (Jovetić) got injured (concussion, off for 1 day) the first half, so I knew I was fu*ked! ... Also, he wasn´t present at the time which is a funny thing since all CUP games I managed to follow today - were all won by teams/manager who wasn´t present :mad:
Formations that use 6 midfielders are the most difficult to come up with a counter for.Quote:

Tomorrow are two more important matches, my CL opponent that Ive beaten 2-0 in the away game seems to have bought a new scout (with penalty speciality). League is against 5th place who is only 2 pts behind 3rd place so he will really want to win this one.
Yeah, I was quite unsure which formation to use or go with before the game, and since nobody had any suggestions/advice I just played my cards on the 4-5-1V (probably the last time I use this formation since it never goes my way). Think I´m gonna "copy" his formation in the return and hope for the best. Who knows, maybe I could turn this result over. Return at WednesdayQuote:

wanna go on flanks? meet my defensive wingers. While you do so, i'll go through middle since you miss a DMC, let's see if your 3 man defense can handle it. Most of butterflie have no arrows or reds on the DML/DMR. that might exploit it. To have further dominance at midfield, you can use another MC for a ST going for 3-2W-3-1-1
As for my CUP match, he's going 3-1-4-2. I need to find a good formation in about 1,5 hrs. Any advices or recent experiences?
Then it´s the 4-1-2-1-2 diamond... But then the % of me being crushed is high for sure since he plays on/through the flanks. Also, this game is getting on my nerv with all injuries, ridiculous results and managers who ain´t present - but manages to win.... In addition, his MC got injured the first quarter and wasn´t replaced, but still he managed to score 2 goals... Despite my 68% ballpossesion and 7/8* players.Quote:

We lost home 1-2 dominating the match and getting 2 goal against per time, one on a counter, and one from range. No further comment to add as i feel extremly pissed at the moment. 65% ball possession, favor bar fixed towards his half and 16/9 shoots to the goal, with a total of 8 corner kicks due to GK's saves.
:( :'(
I won all my games in the first leg
I was hoping to make it 26/26
but today I drawed 2-2
I was absent
I checked the stats
possession
60-40 for me
shots
16-8 for me
if I was watching + a support from a friend, I would make it 70-30 possession, and win ..
the difference between me and the 2nd is now 9 pts, he and the 3rd have very easy opponents in the first 4 matches ..
Yesterday saw an expected victory over the bottom club Fiver FC. The end score was 4-0. No injuries or suspensions, so nothing really major to report back, though an illegal formation gave me 80% possession.
Today has given me an unexpected and big problem. I am due to play my CL 2nd leg match at 7.20pm against Kanarya 1907 at home tonight and my League match against Real Madrid 238590685609783590 an hour later away, but I am out for the evening, after being asked this morning during work, and very unlikely to attend either match (at the cinema you see). I have my strongest team out for the CL match as they are the strongest of the two teams I play and my strongest lineup is more than enough to beat the League team. However, I will not be able to change my lineup (my preferred option) or give rest packs to any players. The only option I have is to push back the CL match to a later time, but I won't have Facebook access (banned) or Top Eleven site access (tried and it won't work and likely banned due to Facebook integration) until 5pm at the earliest as I'm currently at work. Even then, I don't think I'll have the time allowance to put the CL match back (only a two hour gap between when I can rearrange and the match itself).
Are my players going to die? :(
