Season 40

[Maor23]

last season I got kicked out of the CL at the top 16, by a weaker team, by conceding a goal at the 90th minute of the second game that led to a penalty shoot out, a shoot out I eventually lost. I really hoped this season will be different, I even won the first leg 3-1 away.. but you can never be safe in this game.
again, gotta concentrate only on the league, didn't expect being kicked out of the other competition that fast. whatever.





congratulations to those that went through to the QF and good luck.

Wow, so many late goals. That is really harsh, it seems the match engine reacted once more too sensitive.That s*cks.
In the highlights I saw you did some substitutions, has the formation been changed? And for the initial formation, has the central MC been defensively motivated?

I had the central MC with a blue arrow yea, and the formation did not change with the substitutions just brought in fresh players with pretty much the same quality as the ones I took out (difference of 2-4 between them).

Only one striker at home? What were your orders?

Only one striker at home? What were your orders?

attacking, flanks, whole pitch, zonal, mixed passing, force counter attacks.
I won 3-1 (could easily be 6 or 7) away with the same formation and tactics, with much less possession, this game I had 61-39.

it just shows how random this game is.

Same as my orders, only I do mixed for focus passing asmy formation is, well, more mixed [3-4-1-2, or sometimes 3-1-4-2] . And similar happened to me in the cup. Mentioned it already on here, but it was so blatant it's worth another mention - I faced a complete token team in the 3rd round, same level as me but all 6 star players!? - And still i won 6-3 at home, first leg. I think I was actually 6-1 up at one point. Second leg, same players, formation, orders ... he wins 4-1 ... injuring 2 of my players in the process, I couldn't be there to watch and auto subs didn't work so I had 9 menfor the bulk of the game. How convenient he goes through on away goals eh?

Ah well, that's footy, happens in the real world too, we've seen it many times. Keeps it interesting I suppose.

yea whatever it's just annoying when it happens because it happens too much but nothing will be done about it so I kinda gave up, I don't really care anymore. will just focus on the league again at least I get that every year.

Yeah, I'm getting that alright. But I jumped in halfway through first season and was being whooped by bot teams - no matter what I did. Bought some tokens one night, and had a peep in the scouting - "oooh, there's the very player I need right now!" ... y'know yourself. Plus I was being a little impatient and couldn't be dealing with injuries. I've become more sensible and have been training them nicely. I love a footy manager game, and I play it more so for my own simple amusement than anything else. But we can't help being competitive, and I like to have an edge. The scout players are not wonderful at level 2, and I know I can train players up to match them with patience. I just lack that at times

I do reckon I'd still be top, maybe not so many goals, without the scouts.

[Keith Gaule]

Ok, yeah whatever ... :/

having counter on this season = get lots of goals in .-.
