Hopefully you will pick yourself up and return much stronger and perhaps learn something as well next season. Just never lose faith in yourself ;)

Status: Active
Formation: 4-4-2 classic
Position in League: 4th place (34 pts)
Match Preview
After yesterday's 1-2 loss to Hercules FC that ended their unbeaten run at 20 matches, what the manager is expected is to win all matches for the rest of the season and win the league. As they already out of Cup and CL, the manager have said to all the players: "We are AEPRE FC, we are not Arsenal! Keep persuing our dream to win our 3rd league title!". However, they are already guaranteed a promotion spot and a ticket to CL next season.
AORDP FC, a friend of AEPRE FC and one of the teams in the Galactic League, founded by the managers of AEPRE FC, ATGKX FC and ANHGJ FC, with 10 teams currently in this league managed by friends in real life. The opposing side will be playing with 4-4-2 classic, as what the manager is expected is that they want to win the rest of the season, the team will be playing on 4-3W-1-2, with Matt van Hart returning from suspension, and he will be playing as LM, as the same formation remains as usual. Looking at players' morale conditions, the yesterday's defeat doesn't have an impact to the player's morale as AORDP FC's manager is my friend, he will be setting up illegal formation for me, but because this is unfair play, AEPRE FC's manager have rejected this.
Expected result: 3-1
TRANSFER NEWS
AEPRE FC keen on signing Alexanderson
As AEPRE FC will be promoted to Level 4 League next season, all the transfer actions will getting even more harder, and AEPRE FC really wanted to negotiate for Real Bombardina's goalkeeper Christoffer Alexandersson, or possibly their 38 rated scout player Chris van Lanen.
OTHER NEWS
Cole appreciated by AEPRE FC's manager after injured Thomas
Ashley Cole will be closely watched by the manager, and possibly awarded Defender of the Season at the end of the year, after he managed to injure Hercules FC's main player Karl Thomas.
Introducing Vote System
AEPRE FC's manager will be introducing new method for awarding Player of the Year award, which the manager will be giving out points to Top Three performers after each match, 1 pt, 2 pts and 3 pts will be given out throughout the season in all competitive matches. All the points will be posted on the AEPRE FC Gazette in the match report. This kind of voting system is inspired by TheMasterBucks' Southend United career mode series, where he will be giving out points after each matches.
Result Just In...
Mehmet 2-2 Chelsea
This result is music to the ears of the July Fourth fans,players,non-playing staff and the board as July Fourth can wrap up the league title with a win at F.C. Navoski anything less than a win will mean a draw tomorrow against Mehmet will wrap it up.
Victory 3-0 yesterday for a League game. My MC got booked twice in 20 minutes, and I got my MR injured between these two moments, I had again to adapt all my tactics (happy for having internet on the phone at that moment otherwise I would have sunk).
Today, CL 1/2 finals against a fair offensive team, so I will play like I played for my 1/4 finals, very defensive with counter attacking but mix passing towards the left side (his weakest point), I hope that placing my MC instead of my MR won't be a problem as he is suspended for this game. All I hope is to not conceal any goal, the 2nd leg will be away for me, and to not get any bookings as I have 4 players on the edge, all the best of the team of course. Fingers crossed.

Well, I think you already are the "league champion", but as you say - let's wait until it's for "sure".Quote:

What a streak!
Yoshi's Island didn't loose the last 14 League Matches, out of these 14 League Matches there have been only 3 draws. What a streak!
Yoshi's Island offers you a career!
Yoshi's Island Target Shot has been completed after three days. That's your chance to start a great career!
Looking for players
The trainer of Yoshi's Island confirmed the rumors. Yoshi's Island is in need of one DL, one DR and one AML. Now it's a great time to buy new players for the next season!
League, round 21 - Perfect Tactics 13-0 alihlal FC
Perfect Tactics: 57.7, 3N-5-2v
alhilal FC: 39.4, 4-1-2-1-2ND
Massacre at the C.Petersen stadium with one of our biggest wins in history. We were simply too good for them and ripped them to shreds from start to finish. It was also the first time since level 3 that a player has scored 7 goals in one match last done by Petersen in a cup match. Strange that Petersen didn't score but he did get 3 assists. Pistov was our star player and his partnership with Suarez looks deadly. So many goals, where do we start? Nascimento got us off with a long range strike and then the goals rushed in like crazy... In a first half of craziness which saw us score 7 goals, 4 of them came from Pistov and it was the two wingers Nascimento and Petersen who set him up for his goals. Silly also got a goal from a 1vs 1 position and Nascimento got a 2nd from Suarez's pass. We continued to destroy them in the 2nd half, Suarez getting a goal and then Pistov scored twice in a matter of minutes to give him his 5th and 6th goals of the match. We didn't stop there as a late flurry of goals added salt into the wounds of alhilal FC, Pistov getting yet another goal created by Suarez and then Suarez got a goal himself from a corner. A late Vittalone goal from a counter attack gave us 13 goals and now we only need 16 in 5 games to score 150+ league goals this season.
Goals: Nascimento (3', 31'), Pistov (6', 19', 32' HAT, 34', 54', 56', 81'), Silly (39'), Suarez (50', 85'), Vittalone (90')
MOTM: Petersen
Think over 150 is a certainty though... I think you can raise the bar... PISTOV... wow 7 goals, he has equalled Petersen's club record.Quote:

I had a draw in my league game against 3rd place (was scheduled during my worktime) and need only one more point out of 5 games to secure the league. Ive got games against 2nd, 4th and 5th still but the other 2 teams are trash so should be easy 6 points there.
Today is a very difficult CL semi, away without 3 suspended players (my 3rd and 5th best quality players among them) and an injured 2nd striker, but I hope I can pull of a draw or low difference loss somehow and make up for it at home. Im playing a 3n-2w defense since I dont have enough good defenders left for 4-1, so I can only hope the opponent doesnt field an AMC and plays through the middle. If I catch too many goals, I might give up on the 2nd game altogether and start hoarding packs for next season.
any good idea for orders with a defensive butterfly formation? Ill either play butterfly or 3n-2w-2n-1-2 (id call id ribbon formation)
Big future ahead for some of my players...Quote:

I think it's a bit of a waste tanking it when there aren't that many amazing teams on my server.. I reckon I'd still win half my games if I tanked it lol
7 goals and not MotM? lol
MOTM is silly to be honest... It's not usually accurateQuote:

F.C. Navoski 103.1 - July Fourth 112.9
IF JULY FOURTH WIN - THEY WILL BE CROWNED CHAMPIONS TODAY
July Fourth play away to F.C. Navoski who managed to get a draw against July Fourth earlier in the season at Islington Park. But July Fourth know that the Mehmet result means they can win the league today. However despite that, July Fourth are expected to start with a weaker team with putting sub/reserve players in for some of the first team players to concentrate on the CL game away at JONCLAB that they play in 2 hours time.
"Of course we would like to finish the job of winning the league this afternoon away at Navoski, but it's not a necessity, since we still have 5 games remaining after today in which we only require 1 win (or 3 draws) to be mathematically certain of winning the title should the nearest challengers finish the season with all wins in their remaining games but the important focus has to be the Champions League since its in the business end in the competition. We almost crashed out in the Quarter-Finals but a tremendous effort from our players saw us win well in the end."
Players like Zidane, Aued, Jurc, Novotny, Baikie, Kareski and Petersen returning from a long injury are all expected to start the game. Some of the first team players will feature but they are all not expected to play 90 minutes this afternoon. Papaleo will play and captain the team.
Match Odds: Navoski 7/2, Draw 9/4, July Fourth 5/6.
Apologies for the longish post, amount of screenshots and any repeats in advance, as I can't remember if I left an update or not after last week. Anyway, a quick screenshot update with some additional comments, starting with my match against my closest rival, AC LaPili.
Attachment 7172
I was unable to watch this match, but him and a supporter gave him a 5% possession bonus. Decent enough result I guess.
Attachment 7173
As you can, it was not the most exciting of matches against Blood Elf United in the 2nd leg, but after winning 5-0 away in the 1st leg beforehand, it didn't need to be. Quarter finals was secured.
Attachment 7174
A poor result for us here, seeing as we beat them 3-0 at home earlier in the season. Their only strength is that they have two very strong strikers (A 5* and 6*) but not much else. Without the two striker's, they would struggle badly.
Attachment 7175
A very frustrating match up to the point where we FINALLY got a goal after battering an illegal formation team from pillar to post in the whole match. The quick second helped as well. The downer came when we lost Sanchez in the final minute or so of the game due to injury (my first for some time) for 6 days. After spending 3 days in the treatment room, he was quick healed for 2 days and left to recover for the final one. He has returned today to play my league game.
Attachment 7176
A good start for us in the 1st leg of the CL quarter final, where the last minute goal from Urth proved to be quite useful.
Attachment 7177
After dropping my first points in around 30 games against these at the beginning of the season and having no other games today, we took no chances and fielded our strongest available team. A handsome win was the reward, though Dos Santos got injured in this match for about 4 days (Ha replaced him). Dos Santos was rested for 2 days and quick healed for 1 day. He has returned today.
Attachment 7178
In the most exciting match of the lot, we pretty much sealed our passage into the semi finals with two early goals, giving us a 4-0 advantage and two away goals. However, they did not go without a fight and managed to pull a goal back shortly after, before Jorgensen scored to get another away goal and retain our handsome lead. Still, they pushed and pushed, scoring two goals in the process, but the previous match and early two gaols in this effectively put them out, as it was too much to ask.
Final score after two legs - Rhondda Rovers 5 - 3 Mike FC
Attachment 7179
An infuriating game against FCB, considering we beat them 4-0 earlier on in the season. We didn't carve that many chances and they scored from pretty much their only real chance on goal. The only consolation from this was that my rival lost his match, so the draw opened up the gap slightly between me and him.
Attachment 7180
The final match update was against Atletico Alberto, the only team to beat me this season. This time however, revenge was served good and proper. I was unable to watch the majority of the match, but caught the final 15 minutes of the match (so saw Sutcu's goal).
With these matches, we are currently 3 points ahead of second with a superior goal difference and a game in hand later tonight and in the CL semi final (1st leg tonight).
The next matches are against Marko FC, who will play against my backup team, and a Thai team (name are all square's) who are a little weaker than me, but have not lost a league game this season. I expect a close game, though it would be great to get an away goal or two tonight.
On the player front, we have been kind of busy, selling three players and signing one.
Steigelmann, as you may remember, was sold in the end for £7.63m in the hope that there may be a little rush for him. He was pretty much sold at market value, so nothing special there. We also sold our crap youth player Sean Kelly, who was sold for £2.46m, and earlier this morning, even though the selling price was not met at £4.32m and 7T, we accepted an offer for Van Ryckegem for £4.02m (£700k over the market value) and 5T on the assumption that no one was going to offer that much again this season. We currently have an offer on the table for Attila Szabo for £4.63m and 3T (£600k over the market value). I have set the selling price at £5.08m and 6T, but will likely consider accepting it if there is no increase.
In the last 4 days, we signed our token youth player due to needing a DC better than Van Ryckegem and the DMC is something we were missing:
Attachment 7181
He will be handy as a squad player and, importantly, for playing in matches where a DMC might be needed.
That's my big update from me, and hopefully I will never do this size update again.
Your only away while group stages are on and first half of league season? Yeah your right I think. 6*/7* players will still easily do the job while your not there I think. Only downside is that some players lose morale, they don't get the full benefit of training... but with your quality you should still win most games easily. Just leave it in your preferred formation, which I probably assume it will be butterfly or 4-5-1 V or the dv8r 4-3-2-1. You probably still comeback from holiday and find your still unbeaten in the league.Quote:

to buy Mr. Clerici, the team is indebted ( we spent the appalling sum of 22 million + 51 token) and now we are forced to sell

it is our intention to wait another two days, before returning to the market, it will be useful to understand what we give our youth (is expected the arrival of two young people in two days)
in the meantime, the team is preparing for the Champions League semifinal
5/6 for the away win? Decent price considering the form July Fourth are inQuote:

They went through on away goals in the last round to a stronger team so they are no pushovers. However the odds are in our favour to qualify and we are on the back of a 13-0 win in the league and are looking to kill off the tie in the first leg. Our opponents are currently 1st in the league and came 3rd last season. They have only won the CL once in their history and is unlikely they will this season.
To qualify:
Perfect Tactics: 1/10
izzraildahlan FC: 19/4
Top Perfect Tactics scorer (both legs):
Pistov: 4/6
Nascimento: 8/11
Petersen: 3/4
Silly: 5/1
Blomqvist: 7/1
First goalscorer tonight:
Pistov: 5/4
Petersen: 7/4
Nascimento: 2/1
Thomas (izzraildahlan): 6/1
Torres (izzraildahlan): 7/1
Silly: 8/1
Blomqvist 10/1
Specials:
Silly to score and Perfect Tactics to win: 2/1
Petersen to score the first goal and Perfect Tactics to win 4-0: 7/1
Slight mix up with the 1st goalscorer prices, I assume the prices for Pistov, Petersen and Nascimento are anytime prices.Quote:

July Fourth League Champions!!!
F.C Navoski 103.1 4-3N-1-2 - July Fourth 112.9 Dandelion
July Fourth win the league title once again with a 2-0 win at F.C. Navoski, the 2/3rds reserves got the job done. The home team decided to play the game with HARD TACKLING it seems which leads me to assume that this team is a "friend club" of JONCLAB (both romanian) It wasn't the most of exciting games around, in fact a game that both teams would rather want to forget in all honesty. Zidane took the lead for us on 24 minutes and we wasted enough chances that we could of been 5-0 up at HT. Diaz suffered an injury for the home team, Navoski missed a golden chance to level after the break but the attack was saved and it went out for a corner and that was wasted as well. On 72 minutes Hardy sealed up the league title win with only our 3rd goal scored from a free-kick all season. We normally score free-kicks. Zidane and Michu right at the end of the game had a chance each to finish the game more empatically but put their chances wide. Papaleo was subbed off at HT for Michu and this proved to be fatal as Michu is down and out injured right at the end of the game.
Goals: Zidane (24) Hardy (72) MOTM: Novotny.
Injury Report: Michu out for 4 days. Goodbye 14 reds. I'm bone dry in red boosters. I've even had to spend 10T here.
We play our CL Semi-Final away at JONCLAB tonight. Other Semi-Final 1st Result: veritas 1-1 LIVERPOON FT. This changes nothing we expect LIVERPOON FT to qualify from here. I watched the game and he was using both 4-5-1 V and attacking 4-2N-3W-1.
Ok, cheers. I'll try stick with the 4-5-1v then.Quote:

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SEMI-FINAL PREVIEW
JONCLAB vs July Fourth Tonight
July Fourth vs JONCLAB Wednesday
JONCLAB 102.5 - July Fourth 112.9
Previous Meetings: League - 11th May: JONCLAB 0-6 July Fourth, 24th May: July Fourth 5-0 JONCLAB.
A rather interesting encounter has developed here. We are actually playing a team in the same league as us this season and the opponent manager has taken the Champions League far more seriously than the league, he has been watching the CL games but not really watched that many league games. JONCLAB have surprised many getting to the semi-finals of the Champions League by beating 2 teams a few quality points above themselves but they have ran into the team that won the league that they played in by a country mile so they have their work cut out if they want to win the Champions League this season, they have beat the current favourites July Fourth over 2 legs. They have applied some missing skill points to 4 of their players (I don't think they were PTed) because they have risen from 5* to 6* all of a sudden. But July Fourth are also stronger since they last played JONCLAB because they have those 4 8* players and they will be starting the game with their strongest XI in an attempt to win the 1st leg convincingly and get through to the final pretty much tonight. July Fourth are expected to beat JONCLAB comfortably over the 2 legs since they done so in the league.
To Qualify: July Fourth 1/16, JONCLAB 9/1
Match odds: 1st Leg: JONCLAB 7/1, Draw 7/2, July Fourth 1/3
2nd Leg: July Fourth 1/8, Draw 6/1, JONCLAB 16/1.
First Goalscorer:
Papaleo 5/2
Michu 3/1
Miku 4/1
McNamara 5/1
O'Sullivan 5/1
Munn 8/1
Wuillot 12/1
Stafylidis 12/1
Goals U/O 2.5: U EVS O 4/5
Both Teams To Score: Yes 6/5 No 4/6.
i was afraid my opponent would field an AMC against my formation but he actually doesnt seem to have one... phew... still a tough game.
wow, 2-0 for me in the first half away... seems im getting into the finals!!!
edit2: 5-1 away... that will be hard to top for my opponent. Only problem: red card for my AML/ML... I only had normal tackling...
in the home game my 5* DC and 6* MC will be back again, its unlikely my opponent will be able to equalize then. The only problem: what do I do with my left side? I dont have any other left wingers, just a dmc/dc. Ill probably play ribbon again.

Opponent's main module is 3W-2DMC-2W-1-2. But he has several adaptable players which makes up for the lack of subs. Working so gonna be even thougher with first leg being away. Let's hope for the best.
Game that probably will cost me a title :D

First half he did not direct a shoot on my goal. Second half 2 free-kicks and 1 penalty and probably title lost :D
Bermuda Triangle won its semifinal away game 5-1! Leitner, my star striker who hasnt shown much in the quarterfinal away game, scored a hattrick (2 free kicks) and was MoM again. Maximum bonus sure paid off (120k bonuses vs 800k for CL final), in the home game I will lower the bonus a bit, opponent needs to score 5 goals...
only downside: red card for my AML/ML, Ill have to play ribbon instead of butterfly in the final.
DAMN... :mad: BUT It's a tough league and anything can still happen towards the end of the season, you just never know if you can win most of your remaining games.Quote:
