Season 40

[Ljepoje]

Well If you think your team is good enough and your happy with the current kick-off time, then just leave it as it is.

I think I will leave it as it is. Could need that xtra hours of rest. Also, I might have the luck with him not being present since he could be at bed or at work at 05:43PTH (quite early kick off to be honest).

Anyway, this time I will start with 2x strikers instead of one from the first minute and try to get a goal or two and wrap it up. I think we are better, despite the improvements he did yesterday after the loss.

just advanced in CL with a 3-0 home after an embarrassing 1-1 away against a weak team... but I had to wait until min 64 for first goal. Well, an 0-0 would have won me the day, too, and my defense stood rock solid this game (MoM was my DC/DMC with corner kick who stopped a lot of attackers and gave 2 assists from corners)

CL 1/16 round, 2nd leg - Perfect Tactics (4) 7-1 (1) TrWaRriOrr
Perfect Tactics: 56.5, 4-2-2-2 hex (butterfly 2nd half)
TrWaRiOrr: 42.7, 3W-5-2 v

Perfect Tactics win 11-2 on aggregate

It was a win that was ruined by a silly red card. Now one of our best defenders is out for 2 matches. Nascimento put us 1-0 up from a corner and then Petersen destroying that left flank got a handful of goals. From a free kick, he scored with a wonderful strike and then Poncet showing that he's actually useful by setting up Suarez for 3-0. It was too easy as we were cruising and it was soon 4-0 after a Petersen long range strike found the back of the net. A goal from Petersen in the 2nd half completed his hat trick and made it 5-0. Minutes later it was 6-0 and yet again it was Peteresen who got the goal. But our opponents got one back through a penalty, however Van der Zande got himself sent off for spitting! It was a crazy turn of events and it means we are without our 7* defender for the whole of the next round. Petersen did restore our 6 goal lead at the end but it was the red card that ruined the day.

Goals: Nascimento (8'), Petersen (12', 31', 63' HAT, 72' , 84'), Suarez (29'), Nafae (75' PEN)
MOTM: Petersen
Sent off: Van der Zande

Yeah your right about that red card... nothing worse than having an important squad player out through suspension in the knockout stages in the champions league. I'm playing some of my reserves tonight because I lead 6-1 and I don't have to worry about going out the competition even if I lose today because there is no chance we will get eliminated playing our subs/reserves that don't normally play when we are leading 6-1 from the first leg, so that means Zidane and Crawford will actually start the game as our strike force instead of Michu and Papaleo. Zidane earlier today in the match against Takis made is 200th appearance for July Fourth so tonight will be his 201st game.

I won my first CL mathc with 2-0 at home vs an equal opponent. He is playing 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow Diamond, what formation would you use for the second match? 3-1-4-2 would fit best to my team, but I think its a bit offensive for a away match vs an equal opponent?

[Bermudo]

After the 3-0 in CL, I had another good game in the league... an effortless 4-0 since the opponent had an illegal formation (not an obvious one - 5-2dmc-MR/ML-ST, probably not enough players on opponents side of the pitch since 4-DMC-AMR/AML-3ST is legal).

No cards, no injuries, MoM were my two scouts who really need those skill points, all in all a perfect match day. Quarterfinal opponent in CL is going to be tougher but last hurdle towards my self-proclaimed goal of CL semifinals. Still ahead by 8 in the league, 3rd is behind by 3 more.

going offensive probably isnt bad since he will need a 4-1 if you score a single goal. You could swap to 4-1-4-1 or 3-1-5-1 after scoring. Maybe 3-1-5-1 is the way to go since it will severely hamper his attack through the midfield. You need good DCs for this, though.

[Zeon]

dont even mention 4-1, that was the result I went out of Cup, at home vs a worse team than mine

but yes, scoring away would be very nice, you're right. Lets do eeeeeeet!
