    All good things must come to an end
    It's time to pay my "taxes" 😁
    Last 2 matches - draw and lost to slightly weaker teams
    Since I paid my dues - hopefully on a winning spree again
    Fingers crossed and hope my taxes are enough to pay
    Onwards to good news
    Happy Lunar New year
    Cheers

    I had 7 players with 1 yellow for CL. Kept playing them in hope that they will get suspended before the matches get tough. Only managed to get 1 cleared so still 6 left with 1 more easy match remaining. Hard tackling didnt help either.

    Seems like I might miss some key players for the semis and finals of CL

    On this, we can think in a reversed way of what we usually do to our opponents to ‘take advantage’. In real life, players make those professional fouls in rugby-tackling or shirt-pulling an advancing opponent for the sake of the team getting back to shape.

    So if you want to get a yellow card, maybe purposefully move players to cover some areas that they can’t possibly do it properly after half-time when you have secured a good lead. Eg. Use a MC with back arrow, instead of an usual DMC, to cover the opponent’s AMC, or pull the fullbacks forward when opponent wingers are in-line with ST. Obviously this can only be considered when we have a very good lead and would be fine with conceding a few goals.

    Worth trying it out as it also test out how tough your defensive shape with the least number of defenders+MC could stand when you may need to go all-out attack to chase a goal in a final.
    Winning is a form of art. Consistently winning is a show-hand of skills and luck.

    I got lucky once, I mean, I was blessed, back in November when I was going for back to back Champions Leagues. So when we we went into the semi finals we played an even team who scored 49 goals in the competition and we scored only 37 leading up to this, we won the first leg 0-3 and by then I had 6 or 7 yellows or something, so I couldn’t really replace the team in risk of losing my lead and getting humiliated at home, so I played that team with all the yellow cards, and we won 3-0 and got no injuries or anymore yellow cards, that was the ideal scenario which we achieved.

    Hopefully i have that kind of luck. Didn't play my main team today for QF 2nd Leg but will do so in CL Semis. The worse case scenario would be to lose more than 2 players at a go. That might really have an impact on my defense.

    Won 4-2 in the cup game and i m in the final. Suazo with a hattrick.
    Managed to bench some important players, thus making me concede 2 goals but it s alright. I m not breaking my 21 goals conceded record anytime soon. I am on 19 right now/
    I m still around, LOL!

    In the final as well with a 4-1 win, I was in school so I could not see it, we conceded in the 89th minute , but it’s ok we won 7-3 on aggregate andI will let conceding that goal slide as they were stronger than us.

    Facing the guy on the right, thinking of using 3W-1-2MCs-3-1.
    And playing through the middle, thoughts?Only one of my wingers can play ML, the other can t , guessing it would be recommended to do so.
    Thoughts?
    I m still around, LOL!

    Thanks a lot Max for the support.
    Just won 5-2 against him, 3-1-2-ML-AMC-AMR-ST.
    Sacrificed Suazo for the team but in the end it worked just perfectly.
    I need a draw against the 3rd place and I win the title.
    Still tied on the goalscoring part, but the I want the title more.
    Team is more important than the individual.

    In the league I want at least a draw against the 3rd and Suazo goalscorer.
    In CL I m in finals already. 7-1 in CL quarters and the semis opponent can t compete with me.
    Only the finals in CL and cup will be troubling.
