i will use 4-1-4-1, it suits my team better, cause my main AMR is injured

League, Matchday 6

Ortigas [4-1-4-1] 1 - 4 New Team [3W-4-3]



We were received by the team before the last one at their home today, facing a Q 18 opponent. As per tactics, we adopted the "elected" counter to 4-1-4-1 getting a 3-4-3 set with two wingers and a central being sure our 7* DC Yuma could well handle their 1* Striker while our DR/DL could help pushing at midfield. We hence adopted offside trap aswell. Since the start we dominated the game and possession, going ahead immediatly when Hutton centered a perfect pass for our aerial defender Denver who headed in the 0-1 (3').
Even tho, we were then unable to have any chanche despite the 3 strong forwards adopted. On the other side, at least three times their 1* striker jumped Yuma to be stopped later by another defender. Quite interesting. Few minutes later it was again their forward getting a ball, jumping 2 defenders and even beating Price from the long range for their equalizer (22'). Pissed off enough, we took out our DR/DL for two fresh DCs (33') almost immediatly sealing our defence and going ahead again with Oliver Hutton using magistrally Denton's fine assist to beat the keeper (38'). Right before the end of the half Hutton was fouled on the right edge and on the following cross he made himself free from marking just to voleè with his right foot under the seven, for the 1-3 (42').
In the second half we kept dominating and wasting many occasion, altho receiving their occasional counter and shoots, untill Yuma started a counter for once and served Lenders who one on one with the keeper this time skyrocketed the ball inside the net for the final 1-4. Pretty deluding result and too much fatigue for a Q18 opponent, but we are still first alone on the board.

Scorers: Oliver Hutton (2), Mark Lenders, Bob Denver, C.Hiks
MoM: Oliver Hutton (8), New team

- Tonight we will face a Thai team in the cup wich announce itself as a hard challenge. They will play 4-5-1 flat and we are still to decide what to use against it (suggestions welcomed).

- We also finally finished the second part of our training schedule, reaching our objectives just by a really, really tidy margin. The results:



We reached our training goals mostly on everyone we wanted to, but we reckon to have spent too many boosters making the mistake of adding to our two strikers Lenders and Schneider points untill 39,8Q, which severely slowed down their PT.

We expect the following members to reach their goals:

7*, low waiting time:
-Ivor Hardy (Q 43,8 atm)
-Mark Lenders (Q42,8 atm)

7*, medium waiting time
-Karl Heinze Schneider (Q 41,6 atm)

7*, long waiting time
-Tom Becker (Q 41,4 atm)
- Benjamin Price (Q 41,8 atm)
- Bob Denver (Q 40,8 atm)
- Paul Diamond (Q 40,8 atm)

6*, SWT
-Rob Denton (Q 39,6)
-Richard Flanagan (Q 37,8)

6*, MWT
- Danny Mellow (Q 38,8)
- Julian Ross (Q 38,6)
- James Derrick (Q 36 - Fast trainer)

6*, LWT
- Jason Derrick (Q 35,8)

5*, SWT
- Ed Warner (Q 33,8)

All for now, wish me luck for Cup :P

1) Are you playing counter- football all the time, or just "in case" ? I avoid to change or apply my formation/tactics in accordance to my opponent. I rather see him/them apply their formation &tactics in accordance with mine.

2) That´s great to hear! How many greenis did you burn?

1) Nope, but against 4-5-1 holding a nearer quality to mine playing on narrow diamond (my standard setup) would of be a suicide announced. I'm not a big fan of CF and usually i just use a module i figure in my mind as possibly efficient, but still, we're open to suggestion alwais.

3)I do think not less than 400? I wasted time on the STs not realizing that even standing at 39,8 (still 5*) would slow them down while they had 35 Q at beginning. would of have spared at least 50-100 greens on them.

Cup Match, 1st leg, preview



Gonna be quite close i think.

League Game

kullehh FC 4 : 2 Napoli

another 2 players injured , i ran out of MC , 4 MC injured i had 1 left , huh i had to use boosters , this is not football , i never saw in real life football 2 players to get injured in 1 game , this is going out of control

[Maor23]

a solid 5-0 win in the league today keeping the first place with 6 out of 6. not a great day for the strikers, all goals were scored by midfielders and defenders. also Evans scored his 10th goal this season and reached Q of 60 (7 stars).
tough match tomorrow against the team on the 4th place, hoping to keep up the good work and win our 7th consecutive league match this season.
