Season 124 - Are you ready?

[talisman]

I was away for the weekend so couldn't post this in last season's thread before it was closed...

Desert Rats FC had a so-so season, being dumped out of the Cup at the Round of 32, and having a couple of near-troll League defeats early on which put them on the back foot a bit in that competition. They chuntered along quite well in the Champions League though, dropping only two points as they won their Group. In the League, they clawed their way to second place and held in there, waiting for the leaders to slip up, which they did, but the season-defining 2nd vs 1st battle with couple of days to go ended in a 0-0 draw so the status quo was maintained. The Champions League Semi-Final was reached but facing a +26% team was a bit of a stretch and the Rats had to be content with a 3rd place medal.




Nouvion FC had a Troll draw in the very first match of the season, but put that behind them as they then reeled off a 35-match winning streak, extending the club record in both the consecutive wins and unbeaten sequences, the latter now 54 matches; they also registered their record victory margin, a 12-1 home win over a moderate mid-table side. With a spotless record in the League and good progress being made in the other competitions, by the last week of the season the treble was very much still on, The League being secured on Cup Final day and the Cup won, it only left the Champions League Final, but a +10% team awaited them, and although they put up a good fight, they ended up in penalties which was only settled in the 7th round, unfortunately to the opponent.
