Season 115 - Are you ready?

[Nebu]

I have been looking for someone to rejuvenate my Central Midfield and I gave up, but I casually went to the market and saw this guy:





Did you notice how many Tokens I spent and how many I have left. If not for Nordeus' generosity of 50T for my participation in this forum, I would not have been able to steal this youngster from fierce competitors...

Sorry the photo gallery wasn't complete




Am going to field him in our next game and see if he has a good programming or future for the club.

Does this forum give free tokens?

Here we give x3 prizes of 50Tokens to random forumers when the season is over, just by participating in this thread. Then check out other FB groups and T11 FB and Twitter because time to time there are some contests there too.

So I just played my first game with that youngster and he didn't do poorly:



He was easily rated 8, I think we have us a real youngster. Now am free to change his name and nationality...

Anatomy of a Cup Round:

This serves to illustrate how broken the game engine is with respect to lower-Quality teams...

Cup Round of 32 against a -9%Quality team. He lined up with a 4-5-1Flat formation, and it's a loooong time since any of my sides have faced that particular formation. The Butterfly formation I use all the time should cope with it, and it did, to an extent. What it didn't take into account was the determination of the game to inflict a defeat such that a free-scoring front line was rendered absolutely toothless, and a solid, accurate-passing defence was made to lose the ball at every possible opportunity. Final score:



The opposition goal was, as you might have guessed was a set-piece (in this case, a corner), and the opposition GK got MoM, despite only saving 3 times against my GKs 6.

Today, expecting the 4-5-1F again, I altered my team's formation to 3W-5-2-V and expected him to either shut up shop with hard defence, or exercise a belief in attack being the best form of defence and go hard attack (which he did). I believe in the opposite and when my back is against the wall I try to eliminate digging the hole deeper before repairing it - i.e. I went defensive-counter... However, in the 15 minutes before the match kicked off he changed his formation, as when the match started, he was only -6%Q and fielding 4-2-3(AM)-1 - and I eat those for breakfast

The game had its own ideas of assisting him and during the match conjoured up a straight red card for my best defender (playing in his DMC position) and an injury to my best MC, but the free-scoring forwards were back again, scoring three, the hapless MC one and the the fifth from one of my free-kick taking defenders. HE scored with his only attempt on goal all match... Oh, and despite obviously being on-line within a quarter-hour of kick off, he didn't attend.



In other news, Nouvion FC, having suffered a 1st Leg similar to the Rats and chalking up a goal-less draw at home, were allowed to play their normal game in the away Leg and romped to a 3-0 win...

I think some managers go offline on purpose to miss the match, because most games look like grand master Khris would say "scenarios"

Its been a bright start for a new manager at Red Kelpie FC ,a new club with ambition from Australia. 11 matches in all competitions so far have yielded 11 wins with 44 goals scored and only 5 against

The manager has picked up some older players who are performing well
as well as a boom youngster picked up for only 3 gold tokens who looks like a player to build around for some time to come
Its only early in the season but so far so good and the supporters are turning up to watch a team that may win some trophies this season.

After reading Niko's advise - went thru my cup and CL opponents.
The next round of cup matches are mostly +1lvl and if I get thru the group stage of CL - will be facing teams of +1 as well
Should I achieve the treble this season - it will be quite an achievement 😎

Just building up my team.second season and I am 97,3%.I'm so happy that I found a platinum association with good players. I haven't lost yet. Today I play in cup (round of 16 ) against a team -50% .I hope that I won't lose because a troll result. I'm level 33 at training. Good luck to everyone.


I hope to get 50t. They will help me a lot
