Season 40

[July Fourth]

Don't use that formation though... I had a feeling a ML/MR with red arrows could cause problems for your team and his formation countered yours

2nd half you'll be ready, put some win bonus too... Every little helps

Not using 3N-4-1-2, 3N-1-4-2 or Dandelion... They all are out of bounds... May look to a more traditional formation to win this 2nd leg. He may park the bus... especially late on in the game.

What position did the goal scorer play in? It might be a clue as to where you were exploited

It was a MC but the goal came from a free-kick. So it could of been anywhere, It was my MC's that kept giving all the fouls away.

I have the same problem, my MCs get more yellow cards than my defenders... Guess it's just a game thing

Raise his def stats. Didn't have anymore problems since i got my MCs to perfectly equal stats between DEF/ATT/PHY

As for our side:

Champion's League, Quarter Finals, First Leg:



A very confortable match away in Holland which after the 0-7 in League confirms our good moment despite Hutton's little flexion. An opponent which uses a module we don't like, the 4-3-3, which this time tho was pushed back by our iron defense, where Flanagan again proved himself worth of the main team. We started with Tenma finding the right path for J.Romer which easily put in our first (7'), following by a serie of corner kicks in which we didn't find the double until Ross drew a perfect cross for Schneider who, as one of our stars, filled Hutton's place to realize the 0-2 (28'). In the second half we left our ND getting in Denver to rest the freshly recovered Shirou and Paul Diamond (MC) for Julian Ross (DMC) organizing into a 4-3-1-2 we gave us a higher pressure on the pitch, leading Tom Becker (AMC) to more freedom as he scored us the 0-3 pretty early (60'). J.Romer (yes him again!) closed the game with a perfect free kick (64') and we were then able to experiment the 4-4-2 flat first, noticing that he isnt really that overwhelming like described, then moving into 4-2-2-2 Hexagon with Stein for Matsukase. With wingers we had even more war potential as we went trough the net again first with Flanagan, served on counter by Hutton (79'), and then with Hutton realizing the penalty earned in the last minutes (86'). To be honest Hutton should've scored twice but both times he was fouled in the area, once being a free kick (where Romer scored), and once scoring himself.

Scorers: J.Romer (2), K.H.Schneider, O.Hutton, T.Becker, R.Flanagan.
MoM: J.Romer (9), New Team.

Afterthoughts:

We are in the semi finals yet not knowing who will we face. Apart from us, FC Norkoping (44Q) and Catalunya FC (47Q) all the other teams are around Q33, and yet in the first legs they put up a harsh fight towards those two powerhouses, both able to win only 0-1 with a late goal, and both having as MoM their central defenders.

Market, Breaking News:

Despite the will not to take any other players due to the advanced state of the Season, New Team was obliged to acquire a young talent from the TL due to two main reasons:

-He's the FIRST 18 yo generated player over 4* (Q40,6 at time).
-He's 18 yo DMC/DMR, with DMR being a role we long time seeked since last season being unable to find any decent option.



His high value moved us to try snatch him and we paid a total of 5 tokens for him. We can now finally play with DMR/DML without penalties, and we will at this point part with Ivor Hardy next season. With Julian Ross on 24 yo, he will probably be fresh meat to renew New Team's Cycle with adjusted insertions. His first 3 bars was a +120 which let us hope for the better.
