HEADLINE: Balkan Boyz qualifies for semi-finals despite loss to Orchard Utd!

SCORERS: H.Salihamidžić (43min.ass:E.Džeko), D.Harding (69min.ass:K.Harding) and D.Harding (77min.ass:J.Enrique)
SUBS: S.Sušić < > A.Ljajić H.Salihamidžić < > L.Modrić

Thats good to hear that you have made it through once again to the semi-finals and guaranteed yourself the 3rd place trophy once again but you would like to get more after beating a good rival and match for team in Orchard Utd and no doubt you could play them again next season, koln will be difficult I'd imagine too. Let's hope Balkan Boyz can do it!

Yeah, It's a relief to know that we can beat the 2nd best team at lvl 5 and that we will be playing our 2nd semi-final this season, despite the 1 - 2 loss. But I think a draw could have been more fair to reflect the game (as it did last season in the return when we played 0-0 away). Don't know how it's possible to get 2 quick goals like that, perhaps the engine just added some flavour to enrich the last quarter of the game, who knows?

I think FC Köln (Q46,5) will be a tough opposition as well. They have a strong 7* line up and tend to play 4-3W-1-2, but have a *poor* bench. They manage to beat the English opposition "Always United" in the 1th leg with 2-3 and then 3-2 in the 2nd leg (with some luck I might say). Here is a screenshoot and comparison of the two teams. I don't know if I'm gonna play with a DMC (Kovačic) in the 1th leg, just to block his AMC (Messi), perhaps a 3W-1-2N-2W-2 instead of the 4-2N-2W-2 will suit us better.

Good job!

Btw last season i beat a FC Koln Allstars in the cup last 16 which very probably is the same holder of your opponent's FC Koln given even the same exact symbol.

On our side:



The day was quite filled in normality as we faced one of the lower table's teams which plays a super defensive 4-3DM-1-1-1 wich exactly like the first leg gave us some troubles to overcome. In the end, we dominated clearly and never once had problems behind, finishing with a good 4-0 but still having the last two goals coming at 80' and 84'. Overall a satisfying performance as we held 80% possession without playing vs an illegal setup.

Scorers: T.Becker, K.H.Schneider, J.Romer, J.Ross (pen.)
MoM O.Hutton (9), New Team.
Injuries: F.Shirou, New Team, 3 Days.

Tomorrow we will face another average team hoping to keep our perfect score in the league, before going to Holland for our Quarter Final in the CL against a Team we shouldn't have problems into defeating. We'll see how other quarters will develop as we migh face FC Norkoping (Q43) in the semifinals.

On a positive note, Matsukase Tenma incredibly reached 7* without a scratch surprising even his Coach in his quickness. That is giving us spare greens to finish the work on Oliver Hutton which should be 8* by tomorrow (Q54,2).

I actually don't know, I haven't seen this guy before, it could be the case. I only know that he is a Italian living in Germany.

Haha, 4-3DM-1-1-1 ?! I believe it's the most ultra-defensive as you can get, perhaps a 5-3DMC-1-1 could only get more defensivly. I hate it when they "park the bus" or just stack up like a meat wall, this kind of teams are just annoying and waiting for a counter opportunity.

Then we are in the same seat, I'm facing a poor Galatasaray tonight (weaker then AFC Powerlifiting) and I hope we could just run them over in both 1th and 2nd leg But the quarterfinal games between the two turkish sides, Besiktas vs Trazbonspor and the turkish TanerGS vs the English team Beauteville FC will be a delight to follow.

Was this the guy you bought this season? You could have added a SA, like I did with 2 of mine. Think it's "worth" it. I had a great day yesterday, collected about 20 greens and 52T from videos and a survey. Good luck with Hutton, you could need that xtra *, you never know.

It's him for sure now that you told me that. Although i just wonder if he has 2 teams on new servers, or we are on the same server ourselves. Why don't you add me on FB? we can check that way :P

As of today, i missed my match due to an earlier exit from work for some jobs to be finished, but logging back we won 0-7 with Hutton scoring once and assisting twice and again J.Romer performing a hat trick. This guy is just wonderful.

As for Matsukase, i added SA to many players last season resulting just in a loss in terms of statistics. Tenma would be Q46 if i added a SA and my budget (500-750T per season plus offers) wouldn't admit further training. I do not know how some guys manage to PT to 8 or even 9* with a budget of 1000 T, but i reckon after the first investment all you need to do is let them gain the star the next season. But from what i noticed PT'ing Hutton to 8 stars, it requires no less than 100 greens to jump from 7* to 8* for an average-fast trainer. And i can't allow myself to spend 2000 T out of the blue. Next season tho might be easier to retain a full 7* team + maybe 2 8*.

It could be, he is pretty active. I've seen him in a couple of bidding wars the last past weeks, especially the first 1 - 4 days. He has a pretty good squad and facilities as well, almost all of them are 7*. He could be a problem and a pretty hard nut to crack. Don't like his 4-3-1-2 formation either. But hopefully we could pull a +2 win in the 1th leg and close it down in the return away. Would be nice to play a CUP final, especially against Dynamo SWAG

Yeah, I know what you mean. I spent around 1500T this season (had around 250T from last season). Still have around +100T left and +70 green packs. I aim to keep them until the next season, perhaps I decide to "tank" the upcomming season as well because of the holidays. Don't see any benefits to PT a couple of players if I'm not having the opportunity or being able to follow and maintain them 24/7. Also, I could satisfy myself with the players I already have and not buy any new ones next season (11 + 7) is more the enough. Could easily make it through the League,CL and perhaps the CUP with the player material I already have. But let's see how this season turns out, a week left until the end

AEPRE FC celebrates their 100th competitive matches in style by beating SCTA FC from Indonesia by 4-0. A great partnership between Ba and Torres earns both of them 9.0 rating...

I have another question about the Nordeus generated players: can it be those players only exist for the highest lvl mangers on each server? I just checked the TM of my second account, where no 5* players exist and like 0-3 4* players. There are several 18yo Q24 (=3*) players from Clubs like Scary FC, AC Delightful or Homey FC, however on my main account I never saw a selling club with a definite name like this. So Noredeus gens only for the guys, who need it cause there are no other good players?

Well they are common to the highest levels of the servers because they need some players to populate the transfer market otherwise they would hardly ever be any players for sale but often are 3* players towards any teams on the highest level on a new server and 4* players to the second highest level. Other than that they seem to only generate at times when not many managers are selling their players.

[Zeon]

Did anyone check if everyone has the same players on the TM? I mean could i be possible, I dont see 5* Nordeus Gens, because every level gets his own Nordeus Gens. I get my 3*, the guys a lvl above get their 3*, which would be 4* to me, but I dont see them. I ask because I look for them since a few days ago and I never saw one where I could tell for sure, but I only checked my 4 and 5*.


edit:
hmm, first evidence this could be true: there is a 3* player from Fantastic A. C. on my TM^^
