Curse of the Cup

[El Pistolero]

I signed my first scout from the scout list today. I think he looks a decent defender.

He is not that bad, quite good. You could PT him to Q55 (7*) ?

I don't have the token to power train him He'd be godly if I did.

Ah, then let him grow/develop naturally. Was he the "best" on the list?

As @Dv8r already said. Also, if you have more then 1 good striker, why use only 1? I don't get it sometimes, and in this kind of tournaments when it is "win or get eliminated" situation you need goals! Play offensive and attack, attack and attack. Let your opponent defend or play "counter-attacks", let him think that you have the advantage.

Nordeus, please, please, please schedule Ljepoje as my opponent in the Cup!!!!

The question is, can you handle "it" ?

Can't seem to get past the Prelims. Never.



This is what happened.

Weirdly, I went 0-1 up and then conceded 3 just like last season in the first leg of Qualifiers.

I tried 4-1-4-1 and it was 1-1 so I changed to 4-5-1V and immediately conceded 2 goals.

All his goals were assisted from his CB's and scored by his strikers.

No doubt he counter attacked at home and long balled it. His defence got 8's and the rest his squad got 7's.

I'm thinking of just going for it at home. 3-5-2 flat, attack, whole pitch press, mixed passing, offside, if I get desperate, 3-4-3. What you guys think?

Please help me shake this curse haha.

try 4 4 2 I always win when i play with 4 4 2 against 4 3N 3

Not sure if 4-4-2 will dominate 4-3-3, it might backfire. I'll boss midfield and attack with 3-5-2.

OMG I just looked and it was my stinker of a midfielder who caused the first goal. He got booked 30 minutes in and goal time was 30 minutes. 4-5-4-5-5 <-- his form. He's a 5 star 19 year old 45Q. He's the worst player I've ever had. He's not playing again, he can rot on the bench.
