Season 39

[Bermudo]

Yesterday I lost the lead in the league by losing to the 3rd ranked team. Its improbable that I can regain first place since the now 1st ranked team has 8 scouts and I still have to face him before season end (probably his players regained 6 stars by natural growth, at the beginning of the season only 3 of his players had scout level).

The CL quarterfinal away game was an easy win, the opponent played an illegal 3DC-1DMC-3MC-3ST formation (!). He even watched the game from the 60th min onward but didnt change the formation... strange.

Semifinal opponent tomorrow definitely looks beatable, playing 5-4-1 which I will try to counter with a 3w-1-3n-1-2 attacking through the middle formation, basically a narrow diamond with one of the DCs being replaced by an extra MC since his offense will be weak. Any opinions on that?

Todays league game was a 3-1 win against place 4, so even though I wont get place 1 in the league and Ill probably lose at least one more game, the CL qualification seems pretty safe.

edit: Injury Count to 16, unfortunately my fast trainer DC, but since he was also banned from league for 2 yellow cards, i only took 2 days of the 4 days, the remaining two will have to heal naturally. He will be back on for the CL game.

edit2: starting to plan for next season... Ill try to sell all my young reserve players on the first days for cash, and want to sign one or two scouts, hopefully a good DR and maybe an AML/ML or a MC. I only have 82 tokens atm, which will be 89 or 90 at season day 1 so Ill have to find some more free offers until then. Only my 3rd MC will retire at the end of season, so I can just go on with my current squad, although my current DR, AML and 2nd striker are a bit weak and will be ony 3 stars next season.
