Season 40

[Ljepoje]

Our 2nd loss for the season (both in league).... We started of with the traditionally 4-2N-2W-2 but nothing, instead we conceded a goal. Then the last 35minutes, I replaced Srna (DR/DMR) with Ljajić (MC) and Jovetić (ST) with Mandžukić (ST), playing a 3W-3N-2W-2 formation to put pressure, but nothing. Possesion: 65% vs 35% (he wasn't present)... Normally I beat him 3 of 4 times (same formation, same line-up), but today wasn't that day.

This makes it: 1.Balkan Boyz 39p, 2.FC Kula 36p and 3.Iztik Yan at 34p (with one game less played).... fu*ky fu*ky league for a fu*ky fu*ky league trophy.. Seems that we have to "work" harder to get a league trophy, then a CL or CUP trophy... And the funny thing is that everytime we seem to get a +4 point or +6point gap in the league, we lose the next game and the sh*t race starts all over game, hunt or be hunted....

Game engine trolls strike again... sometimes it seems like the NGE doesn't like to give many of us an easy ride towards the league title... What with it seems like theres only 3 good teams in your league, your going to have to work right to the end of the season to wrap it up. I hope nothing like this occurs in my game against Takis today or it blows our league open again...

Yeah, it seems so. I don't mind losing a game or two, but it's they "way" you lose it. Seems that the Q-advantage, possesion or you being present aren't taken into calculation, since the result are just "random". But the funny part is that since he left his team on autopilot, he has been doing well. Winning all of the games and placed himself from a 7th place to a 2nd...

Same sh*t happend to Iztik Yan yesterday, but at least they got a draw (0-0) and 1p.

It's funny what happens when you stop trying or give up hope with your team and place it on auto-pilot, You may remember Adel's team "FC Global Ahly" he quit the game and basically in level 14 (2 seasons ago) his team won the league very easily without him even bothering to control his team, he left the game because of the cup format change. I think he was close to a 26-0-0 in L14!!! not sure if he got it or not because eventually he removed me from his friends list when he walked away from the game.

Haha, yeah! I did that last season, went from 4th place to 2nd and ended just 3points behind the league winner. But I don't know, seems that the league is just "random", while the games in the CL and CUP are more realistic and the competition is "fair and equal" since everybody are pretty active and actually gives a rat's ass about for being present.

I'm seriously considering to "tank" and leave my team on autopilot next season if we "fail" to win the league this season, and only take part in the CL and CUP. Why even bother when the inactive/abandoned teams are doing fine or better then you?

Yeah, I remember him, but I didn't know him that quite well. And I don't know why he left or quitted the game since I wasn't present at the time he was. But I think some of you mentioned earlier that it was because of the CUP format and some issues with the dev's. But is he still active, or did he erase/delete the account?

Btw, good luck against Takis! Hopefully you don't get kicked in the a** as I did against FC Kula.

I noticed that AMR and AML don't count as midfielders in the balance count, so basically he had 5 mids vs your 2 and let's say half each AM. That's why you should have MR/AMR and ML/AML roles in your wingers as to be able to cover up and switch to a more offensive setup (am) when needed. 4-1-4-1 seems to be a legit defensive formation able to counter the balanced 4-4-2's forms (ND, WD, 4-2-2-2, 4-3-1-2, 4-1-3-2).

Still is loudicrous that a 7,5* avg team couldn't score home against a weaker opponent. Seems like my match yesterday in which i won 2-1 but was down untill minute 60'. And he was WAY weaker than your fc kula opponent.

That could be the true, but then again - I beat him in our first meeting this season with 1 - 3 (despite, beeing one man down) + beat him last season in the league + chrused him in the CL final with 0 - 5 with same line-up + formation.

I think he just "got" lucky this time. But the funniest part was that Vidić and Srna created far more chances the Jovetić,Džeko and Olić: together! Vidić had 2x header and Srna a one-on-one opportunity, both saved by his 6* keeper.... ... Olić and Sušic got their first 6rate as well, they have never been bad as today.

Ah, just forget and move on. The CL and CUP tournaments are far more important for us that the crappy league

LEAGUE ROUND 15 PREVIEW

July Fourth vs Takis FC

July Fourth 112.2 - Takis FC 108.0

A crucial game for both teams in the league at this stage of the season and July Fourth go into this game with a 7 point advantage over Takis so our opponents will most likely will want to attack us to try and get the much needed win to keep them in the title race, our lead in the league was cut to 4 points this morning after Mehmet won 1-0 earlier so a win for Takis would mean I would still lead the league by 4 points with Takis drawing level with Mehmet in the table and both teams making up 3 points of ground each and keep the league interesting, a draw will mean July Fourth will remain 7 ahead of our rivals Takis but Mehmet will of closed our lead to 5 points, a win for July Fourth today will mean we will stay 7 points ahead of Mehmet and Takis will be 10 points adrift and would pretty much would have no chance of catching us up for the title, so the game is more important for Takis to get a win here than it is for us who look in a comfortable position regardless.

I mentioned earlier that Takis are semi-power trainers of a few of their top players and the 3 players I mentioned earlier in the season, Danny Jarrett, Pavel Nikulin and Matija Jovanovic have all been improved to 6*112 each since we last played Takis and also one of their strikers have reached 6* as well now and they have bought 2 new 19 year old 5* players recently, not that we are concerned. They usually like to switch between 4-4-2 and 3-5-2 flat depending on the situation, they have defender Gokhan Cubukcu suspended, this maybe key as he performed well in the first game between us at Takis which we won 1-0 with a Miku goal in the 1st minute of the game. Takis may look to try and dominate the midfield area.

July Fourth have nobody suspended for this game and we have Hardy and Petersen out Injured and Norris is doubtful through a low fitness level since he only recovered from his injury this morning.

Odds: July Fourth 1/2, Draw 5/2, Takis 5/1

First Goalscorer:
Papaleo 7/2
Mensah 9/2
Michu 5/1
Cardei 11/2
Miku 6/1
SNEIJDER 15/2
Cristoffer 15/2

Prediction: July Fourth 2-2 Takis... 16/1

Goal-line Under/Over 2.5: U 10/11, O 10/11
Both Teams To Score: Yes 8/11, No 11/10

[Ljepoje]

Just noticed that Orchard Utd got "trolled" by this team, ended in a draw (league)....




Anyway, I was thinking of changing the kick off time for tomorrow . I noticed that he has a 30min gap (probably playing a league game) .What do you think? Should I change it or wait until 23:43CET?

ahh.... The dv8r trick... Well its fair play and you have right of being the home team to reschedule the match so there is nothing wrong in doing this. I'd say re-arrange game time.
