Ahh, I see. It is me or are defensive headers getting rarer?

Breaking News:
This season's Training From Hell at New Team's lab seems to be proceeding at a slower rate compared to previous years. The press, banned from even stepping one foot inside the building, is been hearing painful screams and ugly voices coming all over the place. As of today, Manager MadMat had a conference to update the current situation expecially after the deluding draw of the Cup's First Leg.
http://i44.tinypic.com/6pvm87.jpg
Coach Mad This season's training is obviously harder than the past one; keep it on top is alwais harder than climbing to it, hence we are doubling our efforts. Sure we had a bit too many injuries at the start but gradually we are stabilizing the situation.
Pressman: WHat would you say of the crew you built for this season?
A pause before speaking Well, what to say really. The last three ones were a total thriump and we took back practically everything we could. But we have to be real on some points: we are at a closing cycle here, with over half of our champions having passed the 24 yo soil. You already know as i told you that my training isn't suited for aging players, and that i like my teams to be young. The fact that we won in the past means just that now teams are aware of us. We can't afford to fail evolving our team even further.
Pressman: Are you saying that the current New Team is weaker than last season's?
Well, yes and no. Surely age plays a major role in the act, but we have been working on rejuvenating the team since last season and we have, among our 22, seven players under the 21 yo soil. OFC we took two more experienced player this season as well to keep the youngster in touch with them and learn the most possible from. But we won't repeat the past mistakes so this season we will focus, more than on raw talent and power, on adaptability.
Pressman: WHat do you mean?
In the past we suffered from not being able to morph the team to our will in some decisive moments. Lots of times after the 3rd sub we had injuries which forced us to play in 10. That's why for this season i'm focusing on letting players, expecially youngsters, learn to play in more than a single role. Trust me, they might become at main eleven's level later, but the price comes with goodies. So basically yes, this season we might have a lil less quality in the field, but that'll be the transaction season which will let us shine even brighter in the next ones! Thank you all.
NEW SIGNING!!!

A very decent 20-year old fast trainer, is ready for some action on the pitch. Unfortunately for AEPRE FC, they will have to face 252K debt after signing him. The team have decided to sell Gareth Bale, a bright 21-year old youngster to fix all the debt. The team is also looking forward to get financial investment from the World Bank of Nordeus, and sign a scout player.
Hmmm.....might risk it and wait until tomorrow and Wednesday. There's an ML who looks pretty good on my scout list, but at 23yo and Q58, it might not be worthwhile (that and he's a playmaker, which are usually pretty useless). Might carry on with negotiations until then.
I have three in my squad. :p
Still to come: The pre-season press conference with the manager and last season's Player of the Season, Demba Ba.

Match Preview - AEPRE FC v. Vedat FC (Turkish Team)
Type: Cup
Location: Away
Kick-off: 19:52 GMT+7
Referee: Roman Shirokov
First Match Results: Vedat FC 4-0 AEPRE FC (Away)
AEPRE FC will needs a 5 goals sensational comeback aganist the Turkish side managed by a female manager, Liz Paul.
Last night, AEPRE FC seems to be having problem with their formation, as the DML at their left makes them got even harder, plus the fact that this is an active manager, AEPRE FC will need a comeback to stay in the competition.
AEPRE FC sets to be playing on 3N-2-2-2-1 Butterfly, July Fourth will be a lonely striker for today, as Falcao and Bryan Andersson is currently having an argument on the AMR position. The manager have made his decision to put Falcao on the AMR, as Bryan will be put on the bench today. Matt van Hart will be returning from his injury after being healed with red packs. If they managed a 5-0 comeback, it will be even more memorable than two seasons ago, where they made a 5-1 comeback aganist the Japanese team Rahmad FC in CL quarterfinals after being 3-0 down.
Let's see how it goes.

AFTER THE MATCH - Press conference with the manager and three players, Demba Ba, Falcao and July Fourth.
Yeah, I noticed that as well. There are more DML-DMC-DMR or AML-DMC-AMR players avaible on the list then DL-DC-DR which is strange :D ... But it comes and goes, sometimes there is more of "one kind" then an "another" one. Could be randomness.
Anyway, yesterday was selling & buying mania on my server. But today it's like this > desert! ... :rolleyes:

Btw, nice press release! :)
RR Cup, 2nd leg - Perfect Tactics (4) 1-2 (1) Abergano FC
Perfect Tactics: 60.2, 4-5-1v
Abergano FC: 56.8, 4-2-3-1
Perfect Tactics win 5-3 on aggregate.
What can we say apart from the fact that our opponents were LUCKY today, grabbing a late goal but it was not enough to stage an unlikely comeback. It's our first home defeat in over 4 seasons and it came to an inactive user. It was mainly due to our opponents being a brick wall and pretty much blocking every single thing we we threw at them. We were frustrated time and time again and it was their best player Trujillo who gave them the lead on 22 minutes from a 1 vs 1 opportunity. We just couldn't break this team down unlike the away leg. Every shot seemed to be blocked but then came our new guy Zenzizenzike who knocked in a shot from long range to give us the equaliser. We were dominating but then they got a corner and scored from it, giving them the unlikely win.
Goals: Trujillo (22', 86'), Zenzizenzike (68')
MOTM: Trujillo
Our defender gets a 3 rating. What on earth is going on.. One of our best defenders has been poor so far!!
Hate this! Don't know how a team, that is weaker then yours can win - without the manager present at the time. Also, conceding goals through/via corner kicks seem to be "fashion" nowadays. I believe 70% of the goals my team conceded last season was through CK.
Anyway, nice to see you making it through!
Yes it is disappointing... I tend to concede quite a bit from corner kicks and I have 3 aerial defenders. Maybe it has something to do with the defender that got a 3 rating... utter ****e. He was like that last season but never this bad lol!!
But anyway, I learn from the mistakes... I am not sure how to set up for the 4-2-3-1 formation.. 4-5-1v and butterfly were meh
fu, out of cup in R1, 1:1 at both games, then i lost penalties with 2-3
his Q38 1v1 SA keeper saves two penalties, my Q49 penalty SA keeper saves none. I with that damn SA would actually matter...
Pre-season press conference
Players involved: Demba Ba and July Fourth
Interviewed by: Luka Zazevic (Nordeus TV World)
Luka Zazevic: Manager, what do you expect this season?
Manager: Yeah, we already won 3 league titles, we're out of the Cup once again. Now, we need to win the Champions League, a dream of all footballers. Also, we want to win another league title, all players are in a very great form, and let's see if we can sign any scouts this season...
LZ: Scout players costs a lot of tokens and cash, where are you going to get them from?
Manager: We are constantly trying to buy more tokens to improve our team, last season there were not so many improvements, this time we got all the stuffs we need, so we can try to shoot for the title.
LZ: Demba, I just heard that you were recently benched, how did you feel about that?
DB: I really need some game times, however we are in the higher level now so he really going forward to look for a new talents, but hopefully he can gave me some match time...
LZ: July, in your pre-season fixtures you were in a very good form, can you keep that form?
July: Well, I can still trying to put the team into another glory days, last season I was benched but he still gave me some chances. I can still stands a chance for a top goalscorer this season.
LZ: Thank you for joining us today.

SLowly, slowly getting there.
Becker and Schneider should be ready too for the cup's second leg.
Tenma, Flanagan and Romer might have to wait tomorrow.
is there is any increase in the prize money for league if you are promoted to another level
Trolololol: Troll F.C. won the preliminary stage vs. an active manager 5-2 on aggregate (Troll 36.2, opponent 37.1).
The other manager watched both legs, Trolls manager the last two minutes of the returning leg. :D
In the first leg the other team tried to troll with playing 5-2DMC-MC-2ST (Troll played 3W-5-2) and scoring the lead. At half-time the other manager switched to a non-illegal formation. Troll F.C. laughed and scored 3 times. :D
In the returning leg the other manager responded with a weird 3N-1-4-1-1 to Trolls 4-4-2. Troll took the lead, the other team scored the equalizer and switch then to 4-1-2-1-2 ND (read probably July's counter formation guide). But such things don't work with Troll F.C., who scored the 2-1 winner. :D
It is a real Troll F.C. :cool:
Since nothing tends to land on our transfer list left midfield wise and PT takes a looooooong time, I'm going to spend the day trying to bring in some players for Troll City.
Troll City also got their youth today, 12T 3* MC, signed him up and gonna train him since theres a 100 greens saved up already on the account.
Quite interesting TM today! It has been like this since 12.00CET... No server generated players, no refreshed scoutlist and I believe people has been sending, accepting or rejecting negotiable offers.
As you all can see, there are only 4x5* (around 45-47Q) and bids are pouring in. I'm expecting bidding wars, L.Messi is first out! :D
http://s21.postimg.org/7exqgawvb/hahah.png
yeah, my transfer list was the same, pretty short... we had tons of high q players yesterday and today in the morning, despite being highest level of the server (probably a cross-server list) but now... nothing at all, 16 players all in all, 4x4* 16x3*
Breaking News - Negotiations Begin...
http://i39.tinypic.com/a4q55l.png
Just seen this ML/AML come up on the negotiations page, I've offered 3T and £120M for the player, The manager is L20 so he is 4*, so there is a chance he may accept or counter offer the player for a selling price, if he asks for 5-6T, we will match it and complete the sale.
safely thorugh to the next round, 60 minutes played, 5-1 up agg to a poor lvl 6
LOL! And yes, I do! ;)
I was afraid that this would happend. Yesterday was crazy with massive 5* generated players, just pouring in and a Mr.Scout list that was refreshed 4 or 5 times. Thankfully I managed to get the players I needed, just missing a ML + MR.
This transferlist "scenario" is more or less the same as last season when it was "Sahara desert" from day 2 to day 4. Let's see if it gets better by tomorrow. I'm also thinking of selling my reserve player, 22yr old Nenad Tomović (5*, Q46). Just to get some xtra money in. Could come in handy since I need to renew some contracts.
Btw, The scoutlist is set to "refresh" by tomorrow right? I have 246T left for PT, but could spend at least 50T for a descent scout, especially if he will be a ML or MR.
