Lolololololo......... Despite losing 10-0 in a group game Joe FC qualify for the knockout stages, I don't think thats happened anywhere before?

Haha, yeah I know! But he isn't that bad. He has a squad of 5* and 4*, mostly of them former scouts. But he seems to be "inactive" or just don't care about to take care of his team. Probably got bored or something, don't know if he has abandoned his team. He is in the same league as ZEO Team. He will probably get trashed by TanerGS in the final-eight (that's the dude that bought that youngster for +65T)

It's impressive how you're growing your team by 1Q per day o.ò. Must be undergoing some seriously dedicated training!

He is selling off rubbish players at the moment, hence the recent rise in quality.

Yeah, as @July Fourth said. I've been selling out 3 of my benchplayers I didn't have any use of. Made a +25M profit today, have enough money to cover all expenses, upgrade my stadium + buy a couple new players next season I went from Q46,6 > Q48,9 > Q50,1 in 3 days. Will probably reach Q51 by tomorrow (Tomović will become a 6* and Kolašinac a 7*).. Then I will only have Halilović as a 5*, but he is only 10SKP from a 6* as well. No more 5* then

Fans of iLandslaget will have been pleased to see their team retain the 1st place in the League after having faced a stern test away to Internazionale, the League 2nd. Internazionale took the lead early in the 2nd half but the Swedes plodded on and after a long period of no team really grabbing ahold of the game Hugo Roda tied the game in the 78th minute.
The team have struggled to find their form, and pundits have questioned the lack of concistency in the team's formation. They need to find a way back to winning form soon however since today's results saw old nemesis Romain FC overtake Internazionale to climb up to just 2 points off league leaders iLandslaget. The Swedes will host the french Romain FC in tomorrow's league game, and a win is a must if the board, management and team are to gain a bit of breathing space as the pace picks up in both League and Champions League.

iLandslaget ended the day with a final win in their Champions League group D, against serbian team Zeeno FC who shared the lead in the group before today's game. A 4-1 scoreline somewhat flattered the visiting serbs as iLandslaget dominated the game from start to finish. Gerailton was in his best mood, scoring once and adding 3 assists to silence the critics who have questioned his form lately.
It looks as if iLandslaget and it's fans will have to travel back to Romania to play old league rival and sister team JustLEET FC.

We're getting closer and closer to the League Halfway point here and speculations are rife about what the squad presentation and of course the League position will look like for the team. Good fight, good night!

Summa summarum: You're back on track after the "setback" last week! ... Will be interesting to see how the CL and league plays out, seems that everybody are facing some tough opposition.

CL, Final Matchday (6):



We repaid the troll engine of last matchday beating to a pulp the strongest team after us in the group (Q30) and eliminating them from the CL as the third team won and surpassed them. The match took the right start after 20 minutes of pressing and shooting when Becker (20') and Hutton (22') opened the dances, followed by a personal action by Shirou (DR - 39') and again Tom Becker (40') closing the first half on 4-0.
In the second half we left space to Stein (out: Strauss)and Bergara (out:Shirou) moving on 3-1-4-2 and even got more pressure on the pitch. Becker striked again for the third time (54') while Hutton confirmed his revival few minutes later receiving from Stein (62'). We then let out Romer to rest and got Schneider in changing into 3-1-3W-3. Matsukase Tenma proved to be ready for the main eleven few minutes later skyrocketing a shoot in the net (71') then serving a nice assist for Flanagan, another youngster who'se ready for the prime (74'). Hardy rounded the numbers to 9-0 in the end confirming the good moment of the team found back (85').

Scorers: T.Becker (3), O.Hutton (2), F.Shirou, M.Tenma, R.Flanagan, I.Hardy.
MoM: T.Becker (9), New Team.

Afterthoughts:

- Hutton is defenetly back, with 4 goals in this day between League and CL;

- Matsukase Tenma and Richard Flanagan both proved not only to have trained to the main eleven's level, but to be exactly the key players missing at the moment. With scores of 8 and 9 (again), they are completing perfectly the couple both in defense (with Yuma) and at midfield (with Romer).

- We will face a lesser team in the next round, and our main opponents, Catalunya Fc, will have to deal with a Q34,5 team, which ain't properly very organized but might make some good deal of damage to them, at least to provide a clue on where they are weaker.

CL, Final Matchday (6):

Nice result! Always a good feeling after getting a draw or a loss against a weaker opposition. I tried the 3N-2W defense line system today (DML-DC-DC-DC-DMR) in my CL game and got a good result. Know that you used it before, but you went 3N-2W-2N-1-2 right? Could try it tomorrow against Fenerbahçe, or perhaps the 3N-2N-2N-2W-1 since I bought a DML/DL today

I used the 3N-2W few times keeping the diamond in attack (2-1-2) not to change the thorugh middle mentality (due to trying out the flanks but never really having good results with it despite i got ams).

I used the 3W-2DMC aswell against the Q54 guy who got me out the cup, and i can't say if it was very good or avg since that match i couldn't log in properly, but until i was on i was drawing and having way more pressure even being away.

As for 3N-2N-2N-2W-1 i think it's too much centered, and a worthy opponent could easily crush it using a 4-2-2W-2.

Anyways, i started to interest more into my second team on autorun since i parked it in L3 last season, now mananging to take some good players for this one and the L4 too.

You know i'm not one to bitch about premade results or "sniped" injuries, but this time i got some thoughts going on here...Let's start by saying that the 2nd place in the League is the lowest Q team being run by a Bot, having 9W,1D,1L (against me). Today i played vs the 3rd in table, with players rested and full morale, following the match for the first time:



His Quality: 19, my Quality: 30.

To make it short: since start we were totally pummeling them hence going ahead 0-1, when in 5 minutes 2 players (DMC-MC) injured out without any foul. I make the subs and keep on going, then out of the blue he scores twice without any sort of action made, as the second one was:

"Nubclerc player makes a pass behind - goal for Barcelona Fc!!!".

In the second half i go 4-2-2-2 using my last sub and ten minutes after i equalize, just to have the 3rd injured at 60', being it my Goalkeeper -.- . Without subs left, i set very offensive mentality and man to man marking and managed to go 2-3 then 2-4.

Now, among all the 11 which played since start, half of them are 5* between Q 30 and 32, 3 are Q34 6-8 sps from 6*, and three were one skill point away from 6*, 6*, and 5*. How comes it were THEM who injured at once? 4, 4 and 5 days each.

On top of that, they add to 2 injuries from the last League's match making it 5 injureds in 2 days. No more DMCs left and one left MC, with Ahn injuring today for 4 days after being out 6 until 2 matches ago where he rested until today, and our 34Q 5* ST recovering today after 6 days of injury aswell and mijic, 34 Q 5* AMC being out 4 days injured right after we bought it and just recovered.

All my inuries belongs to all my players about to reach 6*. Coincidences? mhmh....
