Season 40

[Bermudo]

hmm strange against christmas tree id prefer a 3w-2DMC defense... but then youve got the problem how to dominate the remaining midfield. I had something like 2MC-AML/AMR-ST against a modified christmas tree with DMC instead of MC.

Yeah I believe the effiel tower is another possible option with the 3W-2DMC... but the 5 flat seemed to stop the supply to the attacking players on that particular formation, of course team orders play a part too. Had defensive + counter.

[Zeon]

He was an equal opponent with 36.8 vs my 36.2, so I am quite happy with 2-0 and 2-0

Next round should also be doable vs his 31.1

But Semis will be hard vs the guy who won my league last season and is currently 2nd and one place ahead of me this season. He is currently at 39.4, but constantly improving. Just played him today in league, managed to get a 1-1 away. 1-1 away and won 2-1 at home, would be a nice result for the possible CL match

League, round 15 - Perfect Tactics 10-0 Elijah FC
Perfect Tactics: 56.5, 4-5-1 v
Elijah FC: 32.6, 4-2-2-2 hexagon

Emre FC drew 1-1 earlier so it was just a matter of us winning to put us 8 points clear and we did it in style. A score which ended in double figures for the 1st time this season. Yet another hat trick for Petersen today and he has scored 8 in one day which is an incredible achievement. He got his first from a free kick making it 1-0 early in the game. 5 minutes later we got a second through Nascimento. We were running riot and Petersen added a goal from Pistov's pass following the counter. Our opponents looked tired and couldn't cope with our attackers and a free kick brought a save from Elijah FC's goalkeeper and the corner resulting in a goal for Van der Zande. Two quick goals from Hardy and Petersen from long range strikes gave us a 6-0 lead at half time and a hat trick for Petersen. We most certainly did quieten down in the 2nd half but Pistov did get his goal from a 1 vs 1 position. Poncet set up Silly for 8-0 and those 2 are being quiet a decent partnership in centre midfield lately. Suarez scored as a substitute, making it 9-0 following a corner. Petersen got injured but a last minute goal from Warmwater gave us our biggest win of the season and we go 8 points clear.

Goals: Petersen (9', 28', 43' HAT), Nascimento (14'), Van der Zande (32'), Hardy (41'), Pistov (48'), Silly (59'), Suarez (75'), Warmwater (89')
MOTM: Pistov

Whats this??? Emre FC actually didn't win... looks like their luck has run out after all... Only one small matter left in your league this season... 26-0-0 or unbeaten. Petersen injured? More reds to go...

You might laugh at this.

RESULT JUST IN!

Clastresmorcourt 2-3 Alessio Atalanta

Alessio Atalanta win 4-3 on aggregate

So it looks like Clastresmorcourt have NOT learned from their mistakes and crash out of the CL yet again! Scout buyer you say? He's a clueless one to be honest!

Thats why I said 4/1 to win the competition was such a bad price when the 3 teams around Clastresmorcourt were only a few points below them. At least this time they got out the group stage... Maybe we should invite the Clastresmorcourt manager to the forum so he could learn some tips on how to invest his tokens better?

Balkan Boyz - Matchday 17 (Sz.5 - lvl5)



HEADLINE: The Balkan Boyz easily through to the CL quarter-finals!

CL: Balkan Boyz (Q50,5) Formation: 3W-1-3N-2W-1/3W-1-2N-2W-2 >> 4 - 0 (AGG:12 - 1) << AFC Powerlifting (Q35,7) Formation: 4-5-1
SCORERS: L.Modrić (9&25min.ass:N.Tomović/M.Mandžukić), M.Mandžukić (83min.ass:E.Džeko) and E.Džeko (90min).
SUBS: L.Cana < > E.Džeko H.Salihamidžić < > I.Olić
MOTM: Luka Modrić (rate:9)


Balkan Boyz collected an easy 2nd leg win in their Champions League final-eight game against "AFC Powerlifting" Tuesday evening at "Balkan Boyz Stadium" in front of 19,000 cheering spectators. The Balkan boyz dominated most of the game and had a 64% possesion in their favour, creating goal-scoring opportunities after opportunities which resulted in 4 goals after 90 minutes play. The win gave the Balkan Boyz an incredible 12 - 1 aggregate victory over AFC Powerlifting! Balkan Boyz will face the Turkish opposition Galatasaray AŞ in the quarters, a opponent that is considered as much weaker opposition than AFC Powerlifiting, with a quality of 34,9.


In other news, Balkan Boyz lost their league game against the Bosnian team "FC Kula" with 0 - 1 after a early goal by Christian Doicaru in the 31th minute. A game in which The Balkan Boyz dominated, having 65% possesion and creating far more chances then FC Kula. Manager -Ljepoje- was left hugely disappointed after losing to their rivals from Sarajevo and therefore dropped three important points , saying that "We lost a game at home that we could have and should have won, regardless and no matter what! The result itself didn't reflect the game, and we seem to lose every league game when we are giving the opportunity to get +4 or +6points ahead of the others. It's like a vicious cycle, it keeps hitting us over and over again. It's like a game in which you become hunted or the one that keeps hunting. I have no future comment". The unexpected result means that Balkan Boyz holds onto first place with 36 points and are only 2points clear in front of the Israeli team "Iztik Yan" (37points) with FC Kula at a 3rd place (36points) and Vanspor FC at a 4th place (29points). Balkan Boyz will play the Turkish team "Tuc FC" tomorrow at home. The kickoff is set at 14:43CET. Later on that evening, Balkan Boyz are set to play the 2nd leg in the CUP quarter-finals against the Philipinian/English team "Orchard Utd" at home. The Balkan Boyz have a 3 - 1 result from the 1th leg and are closer then ever to accomplish future advancement into the T11 CUP semi-finals for the 2nd time in the Clubs history. The kickoff is set at 23:43CET.

Over&Out!

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE LAST 16, 2ND LEG

July Fourth 6-1 FC Seti

July Fourth win 12-2 on aggregate
July Fourth 112.2 3N-4-1-2 until 70th minute the 3N-4-3 - FC Seti 106.1 4-4-2 Classic

A dead rubber second leg turned out to be a bit of fun for us in the end after we repeated what occured in the first leg and that was another 6-1 win against our opponents who basically didn't gave a damn by also selecting a reserve team and fielded their reserve GK in defence lol... can't blame them in all honesty so they can get on with the league since they were going out the CL. We quickly raced into a 2-0 lead in the first 16 minutes through O'Sullivan and Zidane before Seti scored through Eliyahu, Zidane laid one for Jurc to score just before HT, then the second half was continous July Fourth pressure and we got goals through Crawford, O'Sullivan picking a brace and MOTM and then a late Papaleo penalty after we brought off Miku for the striker.

Goals: O'Sullivan (9,78) Zidane (16) Eliyahu (36) Jurc (40) Crawford (65) Papaleo (88 PEN)

Other news: Our expected Semi-Finalists BESIKTAS were eliminated by away goals by JONCLAB who are 11th in OUR league and we already have beaten them 3-0 earlier in the season but if we make the Semi-Final we should expect to play against FC Esenyurtspor who won their last 16 tie 6-1 on aggregate. We now wait to find out who our next opponent is in the quarter-final as Galatasaray SK and Equimetal SAD drew 0-0 in the 1st leg, LIVERPOON are in the last 8 as expected and will play against crvena zvezda, Sami FC must overcome a 2-0 deficit to reach the last 8 against veritas at home in a few moments time and who makes it through in that tie will play against chonburi kfc.

[Morgan O'Bree]

We were prepared to the numerous trolls awaiting us expecially in League since we still hold the "perfect season" in our hands. As we thought, we were AGAIN severely attacked by the game engine and AGAIN it was just a matter of luck and good choiches that put us out of troubles. Merit is to be given, this time, to the coach for massively changing the flow of the game.

But first thing first:

Yesterday's Match, comparisons:




Today's Match, comparisons:



Don't be fooled by the result, as we were seriously losing it for good. Going into specifics:



Surely with his Q32 he is on chart the strongest league competitor, but after the 1-8 in the first leg he didn't improve at all. So against his 3-1-3W-1-2 we opposed a 3-1-4-2 which would have outplayed him at midfield and, same time, disable his dmc while our STs would eventually have easy time against his 3* defenders. We couldn't be more wrong. We started with a field supremacy that didn't produce anything good, if not that at the first action towards our goal a shoot from HALF field got in taking us for the second consecutive time down in the first half. A defence who took 2 goals in twenty matches, suddenly takes 2 goals in the last two days. Despite that, we kept attacking but as yesterday, all our shoots were "wide". Until minute 30 when coach Mad decided to go all out resuming the 4-1-2-1-2 taking out Stein(ML) for Bergera (DL). We didn't see anything between the sub and the message telling us that Bergera got injured (2 mins after the sub), leaving ofc us with no DL and forcing coach Mad to get Fubuki Shirou in (DR) and play OOR Yuma (DC). In the second half our opponent tightened the defence moving on 4-1-4-1 and we got Schneider in who massively incided over the turn. But today's saviour was defenetly our Scout J.Romer who at a point blasted a shoot through the keeper giving us finally the equalizer (54'). And when he was called over a Free Kick, his curve was again flawless getting us finally ahead (63'). We kept dominating at this point not without having tedious counters against despite our normal mentality and 4back + DMC, but when again Schneider was fouled on the area's limit despite the non assigned penalty Romer beat again the keeper on free kick, thus leaving us on 1-3 (87'). Becker realized the 1-4 in the last minute which reflected better the real situation on the field today (89').

Scorers: S.David, J.Romer (3), T.Becker.
MoM: J.Romer (9), New Team.

Afterthoughts:

- J.Romer saved us from engine today. Again, never before a scout we took which wasn't top notch (was Q48) performed so well in a season. 14th goal in 14 matches played for him.

- CL second Leg in about an hour with a wide lead (0-4) from the first match. I'm pretty sure that engine won't effect in Cups as badly as in League.

-Our perfect serie is still safe (for now) as we sit at +12 points from the second in table. Tomorrow we'll play a super defensive late board's team which shouldn't be a problem.
