Both teams racked up their first bit of silverware today.
Desert Rats FC faced a -8%Q opponent, and after a dominant start, struggled to compete and it was no surprise that the match ended up in a penalty shootout. The Rats spot-kick takers were on fire, though, and it only needed three of them to step up before the win was recorded.
With his two primary MCs sidelined through suspension and a 'keeper injured in last night's League match, the Nouvion FC Management had to be creative before this Cup Final. The GK issue was easily resolved with the application of a few red packs and daily training, but the MC issue was a longer term problem. The backup midfield consisted of two high-3* and one 2.5* players, so the Transfer Market was attacked and two 4.5* MCs bought for the princely total sum of 4*/$6.65M. These were gradually introduced in matches over the weekend and yesterday, and thus were accustomed to each other and the rest of the squad by the time the Final started.
Facing a -10%Q team with a largely unbeaten record this season, early play looked good, but the forwards were running into trouble with the opposition defence. Step up the defence, DC David Alberola and DR Pablo Abarca providing the first-half goals which secured Nouvion's 4th Cup win.
Any formation or tactics advice given is based purely on experience with my teams...

Today i play my second Cup final, losing the first one. In league i stay with 2 points on top and in UCL i had a hard home game with 1-1 final results and looking forward for the away game. Let's do the triple!
Sigh i lost my cup final. My team played well but his keeper saved everything while mine had a bad day.
Good for him, he won his first ever cup in 17 seasons.
it just wasn't to be or on paper to equal sides was surprising to lose basically you had no chance today as troll monster was activeSigh i lost my cup final. My team played well but his keeper saved everything while mine had a bad day.
Good for him, he won his first ever cup in 17 seasons.
His overall quality was less than 5 percent better than me so i guess it isnt a troll.
Both of us were in attendance. Only diff is he had less supporters. But ya, good match good fight.
CUP hoodoo broken dominated game but only won 3-2 also was 2-0 up at one stage after 63, both subs scored for him, bit close at end phew now for CL 2nd leg and hopefully league
Sounds like a treble winning season. Good luck! I know you have a pretty good advantage for the CL Semis so its just final
good to see at least a manager watch same with my game,makes you feel like your at least playing someone real and not AI robotHis overall quality was less than 5 percent better than me so i guess it isnt a troll.
