Season 40

[Ljepoje]

Muahaha...... Our upcoming opposition in the semi-finals played 4 - 2 as well... Seems that the ENGINE likes to add some flavour, just to keep things more interesting .... But the most interesting quarter-final games will be played in a hour between the teams: Besiktas vs Trazbonspor and TanerGS vs Beauteville FC, all four around Q44+.. Trazbonspor are considered as the favourites against Besiktas. The game between TanerGS and Beauteville FC will be a tough and tight one, both sides have a 50vs50 chance to make it through!

playing a friendly vs my punchingball team:


has anyone ever had a better start?

its 5-0 in '15 btw, with another goal by Sautron

edit: after 1st half: 4 goals, 1 assist. I should replace him to make sure if there isnt a 10 rating in this game^^

CL game was a 3-0 at home against a pretty decent team, it seems he was hard tackling in the end, i got several free kicks and one injury. The injury has cost me 15 reds (6 days on a rather important player) but the game was a big step towards the semifinal. Funnily, the injury occured just after I ordered to swap the player (an AMC) for a DMC to bring the 1-0 home, so I didnt even have to change my orders. The free kick from the foul went in, and it all went downward for the opponent, with another corner goal for me towards the end of the game.

Healing up the AMC was worth it, since he scored twice in the following league game against a weak team, an easy 6-0 game with no injuries or cards, and this while my 2nd MC was on suspension and the 3rd was injured, so I had to play with my 4th one.

The opponent tried to play more defensively after catching some goals, bringing an extra DMC and DC, but totally exposed his right flank in the process, making an illegal formation which just resulted in more goals for me (I swapped from narrow diamond to V-Style after he brought the DMC). Some people really need to read the forums.

All in all a good day, 2 good wins in exchange for 13 red packs (15 -2 fair play bonus packs).

Breaking News... July Fourth SELL Crawford

25 year old Pepp Crawford today has been sold due to receiving a 9 day injury which sees him out for the rest of the season, Therefore we have decided to sell him this evening for around $75M.

Stats:

S15/L15: P34 G23 A7 M1
S16/L16: P8 G1 A3 M0
S17/L17: P7 G3 A5 M2
S18/L18: P10 G3 A0 M1

Total: P59 G30 A15 M4....

Pepp Crawford was bought from MR.SCOUT at the beginning of S15/L15 in the Season 37 Universal Player that forum members will recall. He made an instant success of scoring about 20 goals in the first half of his first season at the club, then he was hit by injury and that made July Fourth switch back to the Papaleo - Zidane and later Papaleo - Michu strike partnerships and Crawford was only getting a look in less important games or as a substitute for if any of my main strikers picked up an injury in action and he still picked up a lot of injuries in the last 3 seasons of playing and he picked up a 9 day injury which sees him out the team and now is considered surplus to the July Fourth setup since being injured to the end of season coupled with a downgrade to 4*107 and a imminent arrival of a new 7* striker at the beginning of the new season from either a "power trained nordeus gen" or from MR.SCOUT means he would be no use to use next season anyways. All the players and staff wish Pepp Crawford all the best in his future at his next club.

Thursday. Day 19.

CHAMPS LEAGUE: Quarter-Final, 1st Leg: EVAIR FC (71.2) v LONDON CITY (73.6)

Result: EVAIR 1-1 LONDON
Goals: Narin 12, Duggan 28
M.o.M: Stig Andersson

We travelled to Brazil for this first leg encounter and came home rather frustrated after dominating the match and yet having to settle for a draw at the end. Johan Narin put the Brazilians ahead early on, but Terry Duggan worked himself some space to equalise not long after. From then on it was a case of missed chances for us to grab a good win to take to our ground.


LEAGUE: Match 17. PTO ALCUDIA (72.5) v LONDON CITY (73.6)

Result: ALCUDIA 3-0 LONDON
Goals: Gusalov 18, Gusalov 49, Mendez 74
M.o.M: Elias Habdas (Alcudia)

A win here would have put us 6 points clear at the top, but then again, we were playing our deadly rivals, whom we seldom seem to do well against. This was the 12th time we have played them in 5 seasons, and we have only 2 wins and a draw to show for our efforts. Two goals from Yusup Gusalov and another from Jose Mendez condemned us to another defeat, to leave the both of us, level on points, but they have a superior goal difference.

OTHER LEAGUE RESULTS:
Phetchana 0-2 Tongfang, Lalas 3-3 Legends, Yakuza 1-3 Jeleznik, Shileno 2-0 Kukula, Danis 0-4 Olympiakos, Real 3-1 Minh.


TEAM TALK:

The only consolation for us after today's league defeat, is that (hopefully), that is our last meeting with our bogie team for this season. It never seems to matter what quality difference or team formations we each have, Alcudia always seem to get the upper hand. We have had only two league defeats this season, and both have come against them, by an aggregate of 2-8. Tomorrow we play at home to Yakuza who are in the lower half of the table.

In the CL, we got an away draw, and a goal, which maybe gives us a very slight edge for the return match. If we were lucky enough to make the final of the competition, our potential opponents could very well be, PTO ALCUDIA.

One Billion Dollars!!!

Following the completion of Pepp Crawford's sale away from the club due to his long term injury (he was getting sold start of next season anyways) Our bank balance has topped the billion dollar landmark for the first time.

after a nice streak of 11 consecutive league matches that I won we tied 0-0 yesterday against the second place team at home. it was a pretty one sided match, we kept attacking but his defense held up well and managed to get the tie eventually. we're 3 points ahead after their loss in their last match and today we will face the team that actually beat them (they're third place).

anyway even I got confused from what I wrote, bottom line is, I have to win today.
