Next opponent is doing that, it is too much time and that's why I dont play frendlies.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...79d4ae5a3b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...cd28d4e6f3.jpg
Erm... it was a friendly?Quote:

I am participating in the Associations Cup and my asso was promoted I think to Gold 2, so I was really happy with that. My current level is level 28. My budget atm is 459M, but I bought a lot new players, so that's why it is this low. For this season I think I'm fine. I don't think I'm going to replace any of my current A-team players, but I might switch a bench player in halfway through. In the end im willing to replace my keeper(23) my striker(22) and my dmc(30). My goals this season is to end up in the top 4, ofcourse I would love to win the competition, but I am a bit overqualified this season, so im happy with a top 4. My training level is 91 and my formation is an arrow in the back with two wingers, one attacking midfielder and a striker.Quote:

zonal marking
high pressing
hard defending
offside: off
The TP bonus has no extra benefits or effect at all
Think it's all cosmetic
I am pleased to see that winning your group in the CL or SL gets you a second leg home tie, rather than playing away, as previous seasons.
Thank you kind sir, I will let you know the result.Quote:

Are friendlies replacement for training, I mean, does the game count it so.Quote:

Important Day in the Champions League, and both teams topped their respective Groups.
Desert Rats FC had two good matches, only marred by injuries, the match engine leaving the midfielders alone and targetting the strike force...

Nouvion FC played two relatively weak sides, had a struggle in their Champions League match, and really had to fight for their three points in the League.

He must be strong and active. Are you guys evenly matched? Whats the quality diff, how are his white skills? :)Quote:

His defenders had grown close to 200% in their key defensive attributes, second leg ended 3-2 in his favour, with his defender as MOTM, second leg CL ended 2-1 in his favour, with same defender as MOTM. Clearly, his defence is my problem. They are so strong, all my goals came from normal game play, like a through pass from the midfield and a tap from the striker - many of which were caught by his goalie. I mean set pieces does not hurt him a bit and they dont commit fouls - I have two good free kick takers, they couldn't get 1 free kick opportunity. I can imagine his defence bonus is very high.Quote:

Ouch. But ya, you probably shook him up when he lost to you in CL. Better to scout opponents more often. I scout alot of players very often even those in other groups of CL and i always go in to check their attackers whites. Weird though, most people focus training on attack not defence. Even i scouted him, i might have missed it as i really only look at attack unless the quality stands out. Smart player though! Good thing he was in the same group, no need to see him till finals, you can prepare! :)Quote:

Not to mention the Cup.
Fortunately the CL seems to be easier until now, I have to confront a team which is 27% weaker than mine.
Team name, just to confuse people [emoji1].Quote:

Exactly my thoughts, the 3-1 defeat he suffered on the third day of the season may have prompted him to improve his squad. His game philosophy is like Morinho, he packs like two buses and waits for the counter.Quote:

Seems identical to what alot of players are facing. League is always the problem and everyone is doing good in CL.Quote:

Better in terms of aesthetics, visuals, new cups.Quote:

Unpopular opinion but I think preset formations should be in the game, like FIFA, and a whole new ecosystem without the stars. Maybe[emoji189]

I wouldnt give Mourinho that much credit. So disappointed with the way Man Utd was handled. My opinion, sorry to Mourinho fans if he has any. Do you have a 2nd account? Should try setting up one and dont touch it for a season after all transfers, subs and tactical setups. You will be surprised at the results. I dont get it either but i run an account like that and it averages 1 trophy per season. Mostly league trophies as expected. But whenever it fails to win the league, its like the game gives it either cup or cl.Quote:
