Season 40

[El Pistolero]

Good luck in your game too I'll be watching the all German final. Come on Dortmund! YNWA.

You wont believe this...

I won the first leg 2-1 but my opponent had the away goal. My " world class " defender brought down his striker in the box and he scored the penalty in the 31st minute. I was bricking it all game and accepted I was going out by the 80th minute. I changed to a 3-3-2-2 and amazingly scored in the 88th minute to win 3-2 on aggregate

30 minutes until kick-off in our league match away against bottom of the league cake who have only got 7 points, but with our vital CL quarter-final due just after 10pm tonight. Most of our reserve team will be playing this game, we are close to 15Q better than this team on average but it will feel like 10Q as we kept most of our players we intend to play in our starting XI tonight against Equimetal SAD. substitutes will be made according to how the league game goes this evening as we would like 3 points.

My 2nd squad (well, actually 5 players out of my main squad were playing, I just rested the offensive players) just won 5-0. And guess what? My striker got injured... luckily my star striker wasnt playing, and I wasnt planning to use 2 strikers in the CL away game (since Im leading 3-0). I think I need a 3rd striker some time but at least my main 11 is healthy and ready for the CL game.

So you done the right thing after all. I always recommend this when your around 10 points or so clear at the top of the league. No point taking unnecessary risks with your best players and costing yourself red packs for no real reason.

CL 1/8 round 2nd leg - Sly FC (0) 3-4 (3) Perfect Tactics

Sly FC: 47.7, 4-1-2-1-2 ND
Perfect Tactics: 57.7, 4-5-1v (2nd half 3-5-2v)

Perfect Tactics win 7-3 on aggregate.

What a game this was. Sly FC fought and pushed us all the way and almost beat us but we came back to win on an incredible evening in the CL. Pistov got us the all important away goal from a corner and we led 0-1. Shehu equalised before half time, also from a corner. We were dominating the first half but it was going to be one of those games where our opponents got all the luck. In the 2nd half we changed to a 3-5-2v and it seemed to be good and bad. Hardy made it 1-2 from an indirect free kick, heading in from Petersen's cross. But Sly FC were not beaten and a goal from a corner from Dulev gave Sly their 2nd goal and making it 2-2. They then went in front from a long range Griffin strike and we were in for a shock result. However we quickly responded and Pistov made it 3-3 from a 1 vs 1 position and then we pulled out in front, Nascimento making it 3-4 with his own long range strike. We had chances at the end for 3-5 and Sly FC looked like a beaten team, they didn't threaten us any more and we held on for the win.

Goals: Pistov (6', 68'), Shehu (40'), Hardy (54'), Dulev (57'), Griffin (66'), Nascimento (78')
MOTM: Nacsimento

Well you were always in control really with the 3-0 lead you had. I need a brilliant performance this evening in my 2nd leg tonight. But I don't know if I can withstand a battle similar to this.

How has Equimetal SAD been improving their team since the last match?

How has Equimetal SAD been improving their team since the last match?

It's still the same it looks like each player got a skill point or two worth of training and matches since our 1st leg.

But the aim tonight is to qualify, no matter how its done.

LEAGUE ROUND 19

cake. Fc 0-3 July Fourth

cake Fc. 3W-1-2-1-3 ND 98.0 - July Fourth 112.9 3N-4-1-2 1st half, 5-2-1-2 X-Style 2nd half

A simple win here for the majority of the reserves tonight away at bottom side in the league cake, but we had some 1st team members in action, including O'Sullivan who sent in a rocket in the 9th minute to get us into the lead. but cake were well and truly in the game and rest of the first half was rather even, perhaps we messed our tactics up a little. In the second half more of the action happened, Miku gave away a free-kick and it was crossed in and Larsson's header was just off-target but they should of really equalised, we eventually took control of the game, Jurc scored from 25 meters on 64 minutes and Zidane finished the game off with a splended shot that reminded us of what he was like back in the days of L13-15 at when the striker was at his finest. Miku and Papaleo both had a late shot each but failed to hit the target. Jurc had a good game, with a good couple of tackles and clearances playing as a defender in the first half and a goal from centre-midfield in the second half, he played OOP all game and deserved the MOTM.

Goals: O'Sullivan (9) Jurc (64) Zidane (74) MOTM: Jurc.

The reasons for the change of formation at HT was for squad rotation for tonights game and to keep the key players well rested.
