Definitely beats my turnaround last season in the cup. 2-4 down in the first leg at home, won 3-0 away in the 2nd leg.
Congratulations :) A performance like that deserves the trophy

When I learn that I got defeated 4-0 when I check the result, I was shocked as my player's quality and rating for the match is about the same as my opponent. In the first leg, 2 of my best defender cannot play because 1 is injured and another one got 2 yellow cards from other match. My opponent and I used the same formation for both legs. for the 2nd leg, 1 of my best defender is back and I bought 1 5* experience defender. I watched the match. Well...I guess I was very lucky. :D
Balls... CL match is at 4:15pm... Why is mine so early.. I don't get back home until 5 :(
And on the train there's no signal so I can't watch it on my phone...
Not so great news, 2 of my opponents win yesterday 1 have same points like me and second one 1 point less, I am forced now to win all games till end.
Lesson from a beginner...
A quick disclaimer that before I delve into my tirade – I’m not an expert in this game. Infact, I consider myself a rookie learning the ropes and I’m learning pretty fast in 3seasons of play. It’s a trite fact, this game is fraught with so many documented shortcoming. I have been on the receiving end of some of it and sometimes disappointed by some result but i never blame the game engine for my failings because my understanding is like life itself is not perfect. We need to play the odds and take calculated risk to succeed in life. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose but don’t forget to enjoy the game because you don’t have to be 1st to be a winner.
Last season, i drew 2-2 away in the 1st leg of a cup semi finals. The bloke played a formation that I thought could be bested over two legs. However, I lost the 2nd leg at home 1-2 (I was very disspointed) but took it along with my stride. Now come this season, I was through to the cup semi finals. 1st match was at home, my opponent played an ultra defensive 5-1-3(MCs)-1? Formation with hard tackle and counter attack etc;
DL---DC----DC----DC-----DR
--------------DMC----------------
------MC-----MC-------MC
------------ST------------
I went all out to attack but he out foxed me with his snatch and grab tactics and I lost 0-1 at home! I tried to get an equalizer to no avail, again i was disppointed but I was cautiously optimistic that the 2nd leg was winnable. I have to score the 1st goal in the return leg, so i decided to try somthing different. I poured over different tactics and formation from the forum and finally settled for the mobile attacking formation of:
DL(up)--------------DC----------------DR(up)
------DMC(down)------DMC(down)---
-------------------MC(up)--------------------
AML(up)------------------------------AMR(up)
--------------------ST----ST--------------------
For the tactics (order), I gave this a deep thought and tried reverse psychology on my opponent, who expect me attack him hard, whole pitch pressing and offisde trap – then he can resist and probably do another snatch and grab. The key is I don’t want him defending hard, i have to draw his men out without him knowing. So, went for a defensive, counter attack, own half pressing (a la combining a fast attacking formation with a defensive tactics!!)...before he knew what hit him – I was up 0-2 by the 8th min. Opponent was shocked, he made 2quick changes and brought on a ST and AMC, while changing his tactics to attacking...ah ah. The game opened up and we (Yeah FC) won the game 2-6 and went though 6-3 on aggregate. It was a satisfying win for trying something different. The final will be a different ball game but I will never be afriaid of trying something different and enjoy the game – win or loss.
A nice start to the day with a 0-6 win in the league.
Hope the goal quota does not dry up for the final later.
looking at my mini team which is only level 8 just won my match 0-9 away ...and 2nd and 3rd play later on so if they draw the league is in my hands Attachment 693Attachment 694

Near half-time and Oziles got a goal back, Papaleo's moment of Club History came in the 69th minute, A fine move that beat the last defender and smashed it past the goalkeeper!!!

League game at midnight.. I think I rescheduled it too late lol.. Boring waiting now. At least my rival probably won't be able to watch the match (he lives in Romania) and I'll get round to claiming the league again in style.
If I win I go 6 points clear with 2 games to go... Much superior goal difference, I'm on +100 to 2nd place +68.. pretty much impossible to lose it from that position :)
Just thought I'd drop this in here:
The other game I play, well! after their super Christmas gift of 300 RP (tokens) followed by another 300 RP on New Years day, they are now offering RP's @ 2 for one prices, while other games offer .............. :( Oh I forgot a few rest packs and treatments not even a days supply for me) total tokens received three.
Come on Nordeus get your finger out, customer service goes a long... long way. :)
My last game in league is very dificult...w'll see... :D
Domestic league I will win...but CL... :D
Teams who are fighting for 1st at this moment.

Thank you for your input

I have 100 tokens and $300k
Hmm, you have more then enough tokens for you level so there everything is ok, you have problems with moneys, best moment when you should sell them is last day (day 28).
You can sell players from your first 11, young players to get more moneys so you can replace them with others. At your level, you can change all your team.
In my opinion you should sell the most expensive players which you have and buy others better.
Also you have a lot of players, you should sell how many you can after last day from your league.
(go till you will have 14 players remain in your team).
First sell: didot, capolungo, danic
If that is L1 I'd keep the whole squad it looks fine to me.
Save your tokens and money for L3, L2 is normally full of abandoned teams so you may well walk into L3 with your eyes shut.
maybe keep watching the market for some 18yo top quality players around the end of the first week when the heat dies down. (less tokens same players)
The players with three positions are like gold dust, look after them.
You can get away with a few low quality players at L2 & L3.
And you should keep this 2: garat, sagaidak, don't replace them.
