Season 39

[Ljepoje]

With the 2nd and 3rd losing to the 4th and 5th, we are now 12 points ahead already in the League.

Cup, Last 16, 2nd Leg
FC Koln All Stars [3-1-4-1-1/3-1-2-3W-2] 1 - 3. New Team [ND/4-1-4-1/3-2W-4-1]

New Team advances to Quarter Finals on 5-3 aggregate.

Hah, that is so typical! Just to get the league more interesting

Btw, Congratz for the double win! Q-finals next?

They were legit as both 4th and 5th played home their matches and won by a hair (1-0/2-1). Apart from me the next 5-6 teams have almost the same Q ranging from 25,5 to 26,5. I faced 5 of them in the last 5 matches and the 3rd one in the first fixture. So i expected to go alone on top since they might prolly draw or lose one to another. Which is good since i don't know if i will be able to follow t11 from Germany in about 10 days.

As for cup, the quarters will see an all italian Derby between New Team and Del Piero FC. Q 41 vs Q 41,5, but i reckon i could prolly equal or reach 42 if i'd assign my skill points. Anyways, a close call again. If we manage this, we'll face 90% FC Alex, the full scout guy who just every season buys all scouts available no matter the age, SA or else, then uses personal trainer as much as he can. His 47,5 Q is to be feared but i don't know (supposing we make it to semis) if be scared or happy about facing him. Those kind of players just trow in 4-2MC-3AM-1 without thinking much and usually autorun on that.

As for Del Piero, he lost using 3-1-4-2 vs a 5-3-2 in first leg then won 1-4 copying the same formation of his opponent (5-3-2), so i can't say much from his tactics, if he has one. We'll see.

EDIT: Alex Fc next opponent will be a team which appearently hugely renewed his squad reaching Q48 lol. Well either one will do i guess.

Yeah, the league is crazy! I don´t wanna think about the upcoming games. Especially the one against 1th,2nd and 4th teams, could end no matter what Q-advantage you have. Anyway, pray for the best outcome

Aha, "Coppa Italia" for both of you! This will be quite interesting, I hope you manage to pull the biggest stick at the end. Haha, I don´t think you should "fear" him. T-buyer have fallen out quite well this season. I've witnessed 2 of them being eliminated by 38-39Q teams just in the K-round. Another one (Qatari) in the final-eight. They seem as you said, play "all-in" and don´t think about the consequences. Well well, the main point is that you do your best and hope it goes all the way. Otherwise, a quarter-final spot isn´t that bad either. But a semi-final spot would be nice, at least you get a trophy

I´ve managed to get to the quarter-finals myself (for the first time in the clubs history). I switched my formation/tactics this time, from 4-1-2-1-2 to 3W-2-2-2N-1 and it worked quite well! Managed to beat a league opponent earlier today as well, 0-8 away. Think I´m gonna stick to this one since it proved to be quite effective, backward and forward!

Use 4-1-2-1-2 as main, and change when facing modules on which the ND isn't effective. I see that of the games you drew/lost, most of them were against 3N-2W-systems, being butterflies or similar, towards which ND is ineffective. For those, either 4-4-2 or 4-1-4-1 usually work for me.

As for the other token buyer (the 48Q one) he seems rather more efficient into tactics, i might have to hope he loses to Alex FC in the end.

Yeah, I know, I was to stubborn You know I thought "I have a good squad, top striker that scores and great results in my luggage" and then "paaf", taken by surprise But hey, they taught me a lesson. (Also in my defence, the 3* guy managed to get a draw with the diamond formation but I didn´t with my 7*) ... Anyway, I have the return´s left and anything could happen. I´m 2p behind the 2nd team and 5p behind the leader, sniffing their asses and preparing for an ambush Who knows, I might "snitch" the Trophy as I did season 2

Ok, but it seems to be two great games then. Both the "Italian derby" and the "T-buyer" derby.. Post some results/pics after the games, would be nice to see how they did/didn´t manage to get pass each other.
