Season 40

[July Fourth]

RR Cup, 2nd leg - Perfect Tactics (1) 3-3 (2) Svalbard Rovers
Perfect Tactics: 56.5, 4-2-2-2 hexagon
Svalbard Rovers: 52.6, 3N-1-4-2

Svalbard Rovers win 5-4 on aggregate.

We drew the game 3-3 after going 3-1 up, this is a disappointing draw for us because we were poised to qualify. We were looking so good in the game but as per usual our opponents being a LUCKY CLUELESS NOOB, get into the next round. It was Blomqvist this time who threw away the match, giving away stupid free kicks which they scored from. Our opponents won't even make the final 8, I can guarantee that. I deserved to win this, but whatever. These things happen in T11 dont they... team gets knocked out by weaker team. I've been there before.

Goals: Blomqvist (34'), Petersen (48'), Skogsrud (57'), Nascimento (61'), Nistor (75', 77')

Blomqvist is pretty much like an Eastgate, a terrible player with a bad temper on the pitch. Gave away our lead and from there we just didn't really care. This pretty much confirms my suspicions on higher levels getting a slight advantage in winning, even if their team is weaker. Win bonus cranked up to maximum would be a lot higher than what I can set my win bonus to, thus, causing me to have a ****e game like just now and my opponents getting lucky in the cup, yet again.

My tactics were questionable...probably should have changed to the 4-5-1v however, Blomqvist would still have been there and Im sure he would have found a way to mess up. Also didn't need to change formation as we were playing very well with our 4-2-2-2 hexagon and they didn't really threaten.

But would we have won this RR cup? Maybe no,t but the way we were knocked out this time is just unbelievable and we would have done with the extra cash for sure.

This sounds like your infamous Champions League exit from last season, where the opposition just got nothing but jammy goals all of the time. I'm sure had you been the same LEVEL as this team you would of thrashed them like you have done 75% or so in the league in the last 5 seasons.

I guess it could be a blessing in disguise. Really need to focus on CL as it's difficult with 4 other scout buyers in there. Results havent gone our way when we needed it...

If i was the same level, I would easily have won it but it wasn't to be. Disappointing to go out like this, again out in the play off round to a weaker team. But we have an important game later so we must win it and not let it get to our heads.

Well yeah... It's out the way and gone now. You wouldn't of minded if you lost against a stronger team, my opponents in the first round, red star are still in the competition and look like making the last 16. But league and cl are more important than anything else. Will be hard to generate that extra needed $ now.

Also... Videos going a little flat at the moment as well.

Little update from our end again.

Following yesterday's shock league loss (which thankfully no one really took advantage of), it was time to get back on track against FC Rapid in the CL yesterday evening.

Rhondda Rovers started off well with an 11th minute goal from Sutcu. However, Adam Nicholls brought down the opponent in the box and conceded a penalty. He got booked for his troubles. Rodriguez scored the resulting spot kick. It looked like it would be one of those days. However, things picked up near the end of the second half, as a goal from Khutaj in the 41st minute put us back in the lead.

Following two subs in the 68th minute (Arianto and Ha on for Nicholls and Dos Santos), we managed to finish the match within 10 inutes. The returning german Steigelmann scored in the 71st minute, followed by two quick fire goals from Jorgensen in the 80th and 81st minute.

Final score - Rhondda Rovers 5 - 1 FC Rapid

Today's matches see Rhondda Rovers try and overturn a 1-0 deficit in the cup against LaBandita FC at 14.42, followed by the League match against Marko FC at 19.26. The cup match will be very difficult to overturn as I need to go out and attack, but the League match should be an easy win. However, Rhondda Rovers have already dropped unexpected points already this season and will be hoping for no repeats of that.

On the transfer front Rhondda Rovers completed the signing of Joao Raimondi, a 19yo Q44 GK signed for £8.7m (not bad considering his market value is £9.2m) and 2T from auction.

This officially ends Nicolas Giordano's 4 season stay with the club and is now currently on the transfer list.

How are you doing?

Not bad, not bad, thank you... But suspensions and injuries are killing me. My team sustains losses after virtually every game ffs. Am I doing something wrong? Or am I supposed to spend my tokens left right and center every day?

should I make an offer? I guess at least he would be unique, I think there arent too much ST with Playmaker SA

I would make an offer, they can only turn it down at worst.

he is back!

I made a 2T offer^^

[Zeon]

I dont have enough cash, to 'waste' it on a player I dont really need.

If he was worth more so PT would be good for him, I would have made an offer. But I dont want to buy a 3-4m player atm, I want an expensive fast training one.

I'm considering buying a low 4* (Q31), because he is worth quite much. But I think not a good idea, because I need almost 50 SKP to bring him to scout lvl. Better buy a slower Q39 and only need some points to bring him to scout?


edit:
the MC/AMC/ST is gone from my negiotiation list btw, he was there for only a few hours max

Your almost buying 2 stars worth of quality to bring that 4*31 player upto 6*40, It's like signing up one of your youths compared to buying 5* (almost 6*) players off the market or buying a scout, personally for me, the only young players worth buying off the TM are the 'Nordeus Gens' as these are often the fast trainers, other managers selling young players are often their 2* ducks and are not the fastest of trainers usually. I bought an 5* 18 year old recently from another active manager and the training speeds were 25/50/75 on hard which is basically average.
