Nouvion FC - the 3rd Season
Having repeated their first Season efforts and gained a League and Cup double last Season, Nouvion FC make a foray into the heady heights of Level 3.
Player of the Season Gary Sampson set several records during his first season with the Club, 5 goals in a match, 56 goals in 41 appearances, no less than 7 hat-tricks, including a hat-trick and a 5-goal haul in the same day, and Golden Boot for the League and Champions League, and joint top of the Cup goal scoring table.
This season, Nouvion start with the following players:
They hope to go further than the Quarter-Finals in their second attempt on the Champions League, and have a fairly tricky Group to negotiate first.
But first, there was the 1st Round of the Cup to get through, and they managed this with some style.
The Management couldn't resist trying to emulate the success of his Day 4 Recommended Player purchase last season (Gary Sampson) with this offering this morning...
We'll see how he gets on...
Any formation or tactics advice given is based purely on experience with my teams...
Red Kelpie FC had a stellar last season winning their first treble which is going to be harder to do again this season.

After taking the time to look carefully at my draws for this season and an opening day league match defeat.
I think a treble is actually out of reach. Winning a trophy if any would be an accomplishment.
Lesgue - My current quality is 6th best at the moment and i seem to have active opponents.
Targeting top 3 finish, at least get a plate if not a trophy
Champions League - 3rd best in my group and while other groups look weaker, each still has at least 2 with around the same quality as myself.
Expecting early exit or might just go for Super league
Cup - Every tie is a 50-50
Hope luck is on our side for the only possible trophy this season unless i also go for Super Lesgue.
After a treble, do the draws usually get tougher? At early levels when i got my first 2 trebles, i didnt experience this.
On the bright side, i think i will be more excited and on edge this season lol

1. I learned that anytime you put a lot of effort into your team thta anything is possible.
I placed second in the league, third in Cup, and won the Champions League.
2. Yes, I do participate in Associations Cup. Currently my Association is stuck in Gold division 3.
3. I'm at level 8.
4. Was around $50 to $55 M
5. I don't really want to replace anyone at the moment, but I always try to bring in better defense, so I'll start by buying a new CB, RB and a GK.
6. To try and keep the Champions League for two seasons in a row. At least win the double and if possible the treble.
7. I'm at training level 58
8. 3N-3W-2N-1-1
Sure I'm, as usual, but guess what ? ANOTHER TROLL RESULT FOR THE 1ST LEAGUE MATCH OF SEASON AHAHAH
My quality team 122, opponent quality team 98. Possession 65-35. Defeat 2-1.
Cheers.
Always ended up with either lost or draw in 1st league match. As expected lost away match yesterday to weaker team. Today back to winning ways. Hopefully the only L for the whole season. Lol
champions train, losers complaint
Yes, ( for my team)
Hadn't had a treble since level 3
Top six teams in the league will either be of similar quality or slightly higher.
Cup and CL - meeting teams one level up
If unlucky or lucky - will have some tankers in the group
But should you win a trophy - it will be much sweeter than conquer all in a weak group.
Anyway good luck!
Cheers
I don't know the specifics of your game, but that doesn't look like a 'troll' result to me... not in the way I would define troll result at least. It's a lower quality team narrowly beating a higher quality team having had less possession, probably playing on the break with fast attackers. It's disappointing but surely not particularly unusual (in TE or in reality)?
