Curse of the Cup

[Ljepoje]

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.

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.

Because mate, my right winger is beastly, I prefer balanced tactics and from my experience 4-3-3 is an all or nothing tactic, big win or bigg loss. I tried to keep a tidy result so I could determine the second leg at home. Next time I'm going almost gung-ho. Going for the win.

Yeah, but you could "motivate" the DL-ML and DR-MR and play "down-the-flanks" since he probably played "through the middle" and perhaps long balls? Also, you don't need that AMC since he don't play with a AMC. He becomes "useless" more or less. You could notice that during the game,especially if the commentary don't mention his name.

I try not to motive DL and DR especially away as I concede more that way. My DMC was my only goal scorer.

I'll go 3-5-2 and push for a win at home and fingers crossed, I get through this cursed stage.

Ok, then go with the 3-5-2. Hopefully it goes well. Good luck!

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?

Yeah, I'll give him the odd green boost and push him harder. Yeah, wasn't much value, tbh.

Here is the rest
