July Fourth Season Review
July Fourth Season Summary (Game Season 40, My Season 18, My Level 18)
League
Final Position 1st Played 26 Won 22 Drawn 4 Lost 0 GF 78 GA 11 GD +67 PTS 70
We had a rather shaky and disappointing start to the league this season with registering 4 draws in the first 10 games and not scoring too many goals. We drew games against bournemouth,steauaa,FC Navoski and Thai Team but we won the main games against our early league rivals Takis and Mehmet to get at the top of the pile through "middle weekend" and then once we were into the second half of the league season we were highly consistent to end the league season by winning 16 games in a row to finish the league unbeaten, it was a sound defensive job as we only conceded 11 goals all season which was one of the main reasons we had such a successful compaign and as our rivals beat each other we won the league by 19 points.
Champions League
Final Position Runner-Up Played 13 Won 11 Drawn 1* Lost 1 GF 37 GA 7 GD +30 (* Lost Final On Penalties)
The Champions League was a decent campaign for us when you look back at it, but it was disappointing to end the way it did for us. We started with a perfect 6-0-0 record in the group stages for the 5th time in 6 seasons and won easily in the Last 16 against FC Seti, We suffered a shock 1-0 loss to Equimetal SAD before winning the 2nd leg 3-0 and then we went on to easily win both legs of the semi-final against JONCLAB, but it was all in vain after having lead 1-0 in the final, LIVERPOON FT equalised and then went onto take the title from us on penalties.
Cup
Final Position KO in Preliminary Played 2 Won 0 Drawn 1 Lost 1 GF 3 GA 7 GD -4
Another disappointing cup campaign under the new system, we were unfortunately drawn against an active strong L19 team red star(1 level higher than us) and they basically had too much quality for our team which was suffering from the problems of recruiting non-existant talent on the TM or scout list and we we soundly beaten in the first leg 5-1, before we got a respectable 2-2 draw in the second leg, the toughness of our opponents was confirmed this season as they reached the last 16 drawsheet but were eliminated then and also red star won their L19 league... how are supposed to compete here?
Total Games in all 3 competitions: Played 41 Won 33 Drawn 6 Lost 2 GF 118 GA 25 GD +93
In summary this was an average season in the end for July Fourth, we didn't score a lot of goals but our defence only leaked 18 goals in both the league and CL combined which was good, but unbeaten league season is the only plus point to take from this season. It is hugely disappointing to lose the CL on Penalties but having said that we didn't deserve to win because we didn't play that great in the final. So what was a difficult season for us, we done well to get what we could out of it.

Performance of The Season
Equimetal SAD 0-3 July Fourth (Champions League Quarter-Final, Second Leg)
Trailing 1-0 from the 1st leg, July Fourth needed to get a good performance to qualify for the Semi-Final. But they didn't do a good performance, they did a great performance... slowly dragging themselves back into the match and getting on top of the tie to qualify well in the end.
Disappointments Of The Season
July Fourth 1-1 LIVERPOON FT (Champions League Final - Lost on Penalties) Pff... Say no more.
No good young players to sign at the start of the season and No good scouts all season. Early youth player on day 4 not playing the position we would of liked otherwise he would of been signed.
July Fourth Player Of The Season
In what could be described as an 'Average' season for July Fourth, there wasn't too many players that really performed. Our long serving main squad players lacked quality this season and that contributed into losing the CL. Mensah,McNamara,Zidane and Novotny were no longer good enough any more and with the exception of Zidane they all had poor seasons. 2 players Jurc and Aued are worth a mention because they were brought in for reserve players and both of these 2 players put in good performances all season and did the job that they were brought in for and both will leave at the beginning of next season. Defensive wise we were sound this season, the quartet of Seaman,Adams,Ramirez and Hogan were like a brick wall by letting in 18 goals all season in the league and CL combined, one of our lowest totals. Midfield-wise we were disappointing, with the exception of Jurc and Miku there was nobody that impressed us here and Miku keeps improving with experience and had a similar season to last season, Strikeforce was also short of goals but they had less to work with... Both of these players worked hard for the team and were both in the running for the Player of the Season... but because of one player having more quality and injuries than the other this season and both were equally productive. It was a difficult decision and it could swung both ways... but Stacey Papaleo has pipped Michu to this seasons July Fourth Player of The Season. Papaleo retains that title.
Off The Pitch Performance
With no constructions available to build no for 2 seasons with being maxed out, July Fourth had a sound financial performance off the pitch, the club broke through the £1BILLION bracket for the first time and continued to earn its money left,right and centre... they will have a massive amount of money to spend on players next season... We made a profit of £539M and have over a £1.1B in the bank.
July Fourth finished the season with a fanbase of 3,965,729.
Board Meeting
The club chairman has invested over 800T into the club this season and July Fourth will have over 1,250 Tokens ready for to train our players towards their full potiential. The club chairman is retiring soon and he wants to make his last major investment into the team for next season.
We only needed a draw in our final game to secure the first place but in the end it was a decisive 7-0 victory !!!
That means the Treble is now complete... which makes this the second season in a row we manage to win the league, the cup and the champions league!!!!!!!!!!
A great season ends but we go very confident into the next with a treasure of exactly 123 Tokens... amazing for a non-token buyer! I never had this many, don't even know what to do with all of them :))
Rest is a lot important aswell. Player ratings, despite what people say, are more than nust numbers. Expecially within your main 11, you can see when a player is getting tired by the rates he hets. I monitored my 11 all season and there never was a sudden peak in form or sudden fall. Hutton IE had 15 games rating 9 (13mom) then three on 8 where he scored less, then went on 7 for at least 5 matches without scoring. Resting him for 3 matches (2 days) sent him back to 8 rating with some goals, then two 9 with four goals and 3 assists. Same goes for my midfielders as as soon as trnma started going from 8 to 7 then 6 rating, our pressure on pitch suffered too. Each time i got him out, or whoever in the team who was decreasing in scores, suddenly the pressure bar and overall the match got a whole better. To keep an eye on that.
Saturday. Day 28.
LEAGUE: Match 26. LONDON CITY (74.6) v FC JELEZNIK (66.5)
Result: LONDON 4-2 JELEZNIK
Goals: Yashin 4pen, Zola 19, Robins 51, Criban 83, Damgaard 84, Damgaard 85pen
M.o.M: Percy Robins
Going into the match lying 2nd on goal difference, we knew that we had to better Alcudia's result, to win the league. Oleg Yashin got us off to a dream start, when he converted a penalty after only 4 minutes. Adam Zola doubled our lead midway through the half when he slotted home after being put through by Marius Olsen. Six minutes into the second period, Percy Robins made space for himself and calmly stroked home our third. The score remained at 3-0 until a crazy last few minutes. When Yonni Criban scored our fourth with just seven minutes on the clock, it looked all over. But straight from the restart, Simon Damgaard pulled one back for the visitors. Within a minute, Jeremiah Whyte was red carded for a foul in the box, and Damgaard added his second from the spot. It was an agonising last few minutes for us, but we hung on. Now it was just a four and a half hour wait for Alcudia to play their final match.
OTHER LEAGUE RESULTS:
Danis 3-2 Phetchana, Kukula 4-4 Legends, Yakuza 1-2 Tongfang, Shileno 5-1 Olympiakos, Lalas 1-1 Real, Alcudia 1-0 Minh.
TEAM TALK:
After winning our afternoon game, we had an anxious wait for the very last fixture in our league, between first placed Alcudia and third placed Minh Chi. A win for Alcudia would land them the title. Anything else, and the trophy would be ours. We sat round watching this match and were getting excited as the game reached the 90 minute mark, with the teams locked at 0-0. But our dreams were shattered when Alcudia grabbed a late winner, deep into stoppage time, to deny us top spot. So near, and yet so far.
