TRAINING UPDATE
Miku is now 8*123
Ramirez, O'Sullivan and Hogan are all 7*116
Weve been working very hard to improve our players as much as we can in the last day and a half or so... Why?
LEAGUE ROUND 2 PREVIEW
Takis FC vs July Fourth
Takis FC 107.0 - July Fourth 111.1
This is the reason why we have been working hard with our PT regime because today is the 'toughest' fixture of the league season in theory, we have pushed our players through hours of PT and we could be ready for this, we will find out in about an hour from now. Takis are a good 5* team with their best 3 players that are young and 6* which have ad an element of you know what? PT. but we have more resources than them so it seems. Both teams started with a win on the first game not suprisingly and both teams here will be looking for the 3 points.
Matija Jovanovic (DC), Danny Jarret (MC) and Pavel Nikulin (MC) are the 3 players in Takis that have recieved some extra PT. looks like he discovered PT with a high stock of greens and didn't know what to do with them. Other than that it looks like an average 5* team but they have 3 players in the squad that have SA, A penalty taker, 1v1 scorer and a free-kick taker. Takis do have a weakness though and thats their current shallow bench where July Fourth have got good cover now in all areas.
All our players here are upto optimum fitness for this game and have been feed blues too. Our tactic here is to try and take their 6* MC's out of the game.
ODDS: Takis 15/8 Draw 9/4 July Fourth 11/8.
Both Teams to score: YES 4/7 NO 11/8.
Over/Under 2.5: O 8/11 U 11/10.
Specials: Papaleo to score anytime and July Fourth to win 5/1
Either team to win from being behind 4/1
LOL! :D You go and get 'em! ... If I could beat FC Kula (the 2nd best league team) with 1 - 3 away this morning, then I can't imagine why you shouldn't beat Takis FC... Don't save on the "powder", just fire at will and with all you got! :)
I'd bet my money on the Miku-Michu duo tonight! :cool:
Attachment 6300
Why is this allowed? I need to play against them tommorow, but this makes complete no sense...
Be about 6/1 for both Miku and Michu to score in this game tonight, Yeah when the league draw was made yesterday morning and I clicked on all the teams like I usually do. I seen these 3 players that were 6* with no SA so I presume these players could of been 7* last season with the Takis manager just spending his extra greens earned to give these players a boost rather than saving them up, So it looks like he knows about PT.
Just been checking my league opponents and looks like a bunch are still active and growing their team up, some 5* players in there with the potential to be 6* come mid season. Not as easy as I first thought it was
LEAGUE ROUND 2
Takis FC 0-1 July Fourth
Takis FC 107.0 4-4-2 1st half, 3N-5-2 flat 2nd half - July Fourth 111.1 4-1-2-1-2 ND
July Fourth BEAT Takis FC is the main headline here and thats all that matters in the end.
We got off to a flyer in the first minute when Michu passed to Miku and broke clear of the Takis defence and finished it off in the very first minute and that turned out to be enough for July Fourth to win this game. I will admit it, I was delighted to win this game here but we would of taken the draw before the start of play if we were offered it. Little much happened after this as both sides failed to get chances on target. The remainder of the first half saw both sides cancelling each other out with Michu missing a chance then Mensah failing to get the shot on target, On 38 minutes our GK Seaman suffered an injury and we immediately sent in 34 year old 4* stand-in Baikie. 6* Jovanovic then failed to get his shot on target at the end of the first half.
Second half got a bit more physical from Takis as they went in and changed to 3-5-2 and hard tackling by the looks of it to try and turn the game around, we decided to keep status quo with ND and both sides again concelled each other out, towards the second half they kept giving away free-kicks and Mensah blasted one into the crowd and another free-kick attempt was blocked by the wall. There were shouts for a July Fourth penalty as well and that free-kick was saved by the keeper, we had 2 good chances towards the end of the game through Michu and Papaleo but were off target and Takis had 2 chances but big Tony Adams dealt with those chances, sadly in the 89th minute, a challenge on Papaleo caused injury to the player and the free-kick again was blocked.
Goals: Miku (1) MOTM: Adams.
Injury Report: Seaman 6 days, Papaleo 2 days. I think we can live without Papaleo tomorrow and Seaman will be healed tomorrow after DM costing us 15 reds... DAMN...
Injury Count this season: 8. (5 from Power Training)
Title ODDS revised: July Fourth 1/6, Takis 9/2, Others 14/1.
My league is very difficult.. In it with 5 friends all active though somewhat weaker than me, two semiactive players and one very active person only 1 Quality lower than me.. He's won both his games 9-0 and watched both of them while my team have to find form with this new formation after losing out on the cup with someone 3 levels above me who decided to suddenly be active and buy 5* players for him. In the league and CL I've won my games so far but it's gonna be a hard season.. And I'm playing against my friend tonight, he's also one of the league contenders.
Miku, Miku, Mikuuuuuu..... What do I get for guessing right? :p ... A minimum win with 1 away goal isn't bad, and despite if it ended 0 - 1 or 0 - 3 you only get 3points. And perhaps this was a more psychological win for you, since the pressure is at Takis in this moment.
Miku was singing... It's easy as 123 after scoring the early winner in that early big game of this season. I pushed the player to 123 Quality just before this game... Oh and now after that game PT has resumed at July Fourth.
But I will tell you, that game against Takis was anything but easy as 123 we had to work hard for that.
Weve played 4 friendlies against our fodder teams and we got the full 4 reds for the games, our facilities generate 7 reds and 7 greens tomorrow, so things are looking up again on the reds stock BUT we lose 15 tomorrow on Seaman.
We have 5 options tomorrow...
Bring Papaleo back for 5 reds
Play Zidane with Michu
Play Crawford with Michu
Play Miku OOP with Michu
Play Michu as a lone striker
We face a 102Q team that play 4-1-4-1 tomorrow and that can be a 'Horrible' formation to break down. CL group game looks simple enough against a 97Q team that play an unusual 3N-2DMC-4-1 formation.

My black wednesday...interrupted my series of 47 league games unbeaten
Ahh, this is sad, especially the 1th game. C'mon man? Did you lose your focus and looking at the girl instead of the game? ;):rolleyes:
But then, in the 2nd game your opponent "countered" your formation pretty damn good. He probably "motivated" the DL-ML + DR-MR .. That's how Dynamo SWAG plays season in - season out. And if I'm not misstaken, you and @FCBarcelona play quite similar (don't know if he left the forum or quitted playing the game), but he suffered and went on the same misstakes as you did in the CUP as well.
I will not give up at all. It always happens in a bad day ... thankfully for the league and took place in the second round. It was not until the beginning of the season will go on to new victories :) But I have problems with injuries, the injured, Xavi and LEWANDOWSKI: ( (both were injured in 6 days)
I told you he would score, it's that kind of players that "step up" when the rest don't, players that have that x-tra in the end. :cool: But I know what you mean. Also, after you done with the PT on a player and you expect a result or a good performance in return, and when it does payoff - you feel that all investments (Tokens and all the time you put down) is all worth it.
When it comes to the 4-1-4-1 formation, the 4-2N-2W-2 was proven quite effective for me. Beat FC Kula twice with that formation (league and CL Final game last season).
Yeah I played a friendly today with all of my bench players and the 19yr olds I bought yesterday and today just to get a couple of xtra boosters. Since I was short for a DR, I played my 2nd GK (Pletikosa) in that role :D .. But he did fine and we won with 7 - 0 (All goals scored and assisted by Džeko,Olić + 1 goal from Cana)... Will probably try and buy a older DR (+30) tomorrow morning since I need to spare Srna for the CUP and CL games. Don't wanna risk any of my 1th line-up player in a friendly.
Yeah, for sure. Some xtra booster wouldn't harm, especially when you have a PT session. But I experienced that when I'm in town, then a couple of vids pop up on my IOS, but when I'm at home - nothing! So it's probably because of the geographical area.
LewanGolski injured? Ay ay, that's bad. You don't get any videos through FB, no? Did you ask MDKII about that issue? You could buy red packs, but then again - you risk to get another injury later on that evening. Happens to me all the time, you heal 1 at the morning but get another 1 injured later that evening.. It's like a recycle path.
But why don't you play with DR-DL? You don't need that DMC anyway (that is if not the opponent plays with a AMC). Or you could use AMC-ST-ST instead of 3 strikers?
Harrogate town are doing well. Been left on auto pilot last season and won the league easy.
@July Fourth I'm started with 3-5-2 and his st Sfrijan is scoring 2 times in 6 minutes. And i'm played in 2nd half 3-1-4-2.Then Xavi injured and tried to replace it with El Sh. but the change failed because the match is finished.
@Ljepoje I asked MDKII about videos on fb but he told me not to depend on them, but from their sponsors.
Now I am healed right back and I'll play tomorrow 4-1-4-1 formation against

My tactic : no arrows, 4-1-4-1, orders: Mentality Normal,Down both flanks,own half,normaly tackling,pass long, Marking man on man with counterattacks...what you say about that? :D
but I do not have the players for that formation :( here's my team:
http://i.imgur.com/VAwo7OM.png
any another suggestions?
Considered to use the same formation as your opponent? You don't seem to have any choice, but play with a 3xDC defence. Maybe 3-5-2 flat (with motivated ML+MR)?
Btw, My CUP opponent has a 95% scout team. All of his players are 7* + 4x6* benchplayers. He will use a 4-1-2-3 formation. I will stick to my 4-2N-2W-2 formation ...Kickoff in 45min! :D
We clearly are cursed over the cup in this game.
We settled for lunch on our way back from Germany, preparing the tables for the upcoming match vs the quwaitian sheik. Despite his aggressive 4-2MC-3W-1, our 3W-2DMC-3MC-2 proved to be perfect counter for it. We had slightly same ball possession being alone vs him and 3 other supporters, but as alwais the first shot from over 30 mts went in for him with our keeper Price being like it wasn't there. After the shock, we took back the play and equalized few minutes later with Yuma from a free kick on the side. We were holding fine when another shoot, this time from HALF PITCH got in again, and we were back to start. We were anyways confident as i already was changing keeper with his reserve, and entering my AMC for an MC since he had 4 wide defense without a dmc, pretty sure i'd hurt pretty badly.
But then again, magically our phone provider ceased to emit signal just when i FKIN PUSHED THE confirmation button before the second half!!!!. No matter how i tried to gain it back, it was down for the moment. When i was able to log back we were losing 3-2 after another shoot from 30 mts (again from his DL, 2nd goal for him) got in, which we replied to with a goal by Romer. We hurried to switch players and...AGAIN the signal deceased. After raging out and smoking 2 sigs, i logged back at match ended to see us having had 5 more shoots, but with his 4-2 at minute 86 after, say what, he changed 3 players straight. Having had our subs with fresh players and the little module twitch, i'm sure we'd be seeing a different result.
A slight chanche to qualify, but very tiny in the second leg. At least i'm home, where i will be able to follow the match if God doesn't lightining flash me again.
On League, we faced an asimmetric 4-5-1 vs which the 3-5-2 V was a total fail. Not only they got ahead, but my DMC ijured in the process of the FK which gave us the equalizer. 1 sub later and on narrow diamond again, we confortably won 8-1 with 24 shoots of which 20 on goal.
Black flag for New Team.
At least i almost finished PT'ing with Hutton getting his 7* aswell.
EDIT:
On a side note, our Keeper scored a 4. Fkin dumbass. No clue how to solve this situation. In the league, 2 shoots on goal in the whole match against and 1 taken aswell.
@Ljepoje, @July Fourth , Do you know how much green boosters received watching a video on Facebook?
