Season 41

[July Fourth]

I conceded against a 1* player in the league today. I just think the game is going to make me lose this league because I've been getting dodgy results this season. It's not easy by any means, at least half the league is active and watches their matches.. And there are still 3 unbeaten teams. Tomorrow against 4-1-3W-2... That might troll us badly.

A 1* player? does he even have enough quality to actually be considered 1* at your level, because there is still inactives everywhere, even at L8, My Troll City league has teams with 1* players in them.

Don't forget there is also a good chance I won't even win my league this season the way things are going with Batigo. He plays the 3rd place team away tomorrow but knowing our luck he will win with flying colours or a lucky goal.

Well I mean the player who scored had a rating of 1*... And that was against 7* defenders with aerial defender special ability. I'm always conceding from corners, I don't know why.

Your probably only conceding from corners because there is no other way than 'set pieces' that other teams can score past you.

You're going bit far tho o.o' didn't you win 8-1? I conceded goals against weak ounterparts at least 3-4 times over last seasons, you shouldnt be surprised. One thing is being trolled into a pointless idiotic loss, one other is to actually take a goal against. Also you shouldn't complain, as you play a 1 st formation and it's been how long, 4 seasons your ams scores 60+ goals? What might be normality for you it's actually quite unique. In 6 seasons i never had a player who performed regularly over the "years". For example, schneider went from man of the season to a fixed 6 rating in this new one. Just lately it's starting to perform better. But ie your petersen still scores loads each season. Getting one goal in ain't that much to get nervous about

wonderful day from our team today. it started with a great 2-0 win over the first place team (thanks dv8r and Ljepoje), couldn't watch the match because of work but it turned out that I won with a great performance from my defense (rating of 2 DC 9, other DC and GK 8) winning 33 tackles. players also start performing as they should unlike the beginning of the season so I hope they will keep the good form for the rest of the season.

league table:


also won my CL match 3-0 away, first goal scored on the 40th minute, my DL / DC got a red card for spitting on another player 1 minute later and actually injured the player with the tackle before the spit lol. so we were down to 10 vs 10 and then Jakobsen scored the 2 other goals.

CL table:


also lost my best DC Hill for 4 days in the league match.

MATCHREPORT (DAY 11 & 12) - BALKAN BOYZ (Sz. 6 / Lvl6)

LEAGUE: We played two of the "weaker" teams, The Spanish "Pepo FC" and the Bosnian "FC Kula" (both 4/5*) and managed to beat both and therefore collect 6 important points. Stevan Jovetić scored a hattrick in the game against "Pepo FC" and Senad Lulić got us the 4th, while Edin Džeko scored two and Stevan Jovetić one goal in the 0 - 3 win against "FC Kula". Jovetić was declared as MoM (rate:8) in the first game and Džeko (rate:9) in the second. Edin Džeko is currently one of our best ST's for the moment and has a scoring rate with 15goals and 3 assist in the league, 3 goals and 4 assist in the CL and 4 goals and 5 assist in the CUP.

The win against "Pepo FC" and "FC Kula" means that we hold on to the 1th place with 28 points after 10 rounds and with a record of 9W-1D-0L. "Ekranas FC" is 2nd with 23 points and "PUTOV" 3rd at 19points, both with 1 game less played. We are playing the Lithuanian team "Ekranas FC" tomorrow at home. "Ekranas FC" is know for playing an "asymmetrical" formation and I will probably line up with the 3N-2W-2N-2W-1 formation in a attempt to break it down. The Kick off is scheduled for 14:14CET.

CL: We played one of the weakest teams in the group, the German "Stefan FC" in the 5th round in group E and managed to get a 0 - 6 away win. Miroslav Stevanović scored 2 goals while Mateo Kovačić, Vedad Ibišević, Mario Mandžukić and Ognjen Vranješ scored a goal each. This was also a game when our newly signing and future star, the 18yr old AMC Miroslav Stevanović made his debut for the Balkan Boyz. The youngster managed to score two goals and was declared as MoM (rate:9).

We are currently at the top of group E with 15points after 5 rounds and with a 5W-0D-0L record. The battle for the 2nd place (runners up) will and still is between "Al Hilal FC" (9p) and "AC Milan" (6p).

FRIENDLIES: We played 4 friendlies, all of them against "well-known" teams and opposition. I took the liberty to test and addapt a couple of new formations and swap players around, just to see if the could play better or not in their given role. Also, some extra boosters are always welcome.


TEAM TALK: Well, we are playing pretty damn good, both offensivly and defensivly. The players seem to have forgotten the loss in the CUP and all concentration and effort is put into the League and CL. I tried a couple of new formations as well, mostly with ML+MR. I tested both of my AML+AMR and MC in those roles and I can't see any drop in rates, moral or condition. The purpose is to addapt the players for the formation(s) I will use for next season.


INJURY LIST/SUSPENSION: Currently we have 5 players on the injury list: X.Shaqiri (4days), O.Vranješ (3days) and S.Handanović, I.Olić + M.Pjanić (1day). S.Handanović, I.Olić + M.Pjanić are expected to recover by tomorrow morning. I will also try to recover O.Vranješ since he is one of our best DC/DR. No suspensions to report.

PT/ TRAINING SESSION: The PT session on Miroslav Stevanović goes as planned. He got the shadowstriker ability yesterday and has unofficially reached 7*, but since I have a couple of boosters left I will push him to become a 8* instead. This is mostly because of the fact that he is 18yr old and a fast trainer + I will not be forced to PT him for next season. Also he scores and gets 8 or 9 in rates which is awesome!

I expected this wouldn't be a walk in the park, but I didn't expect a debacle like this:



Guess this will be the end of my Cup heroics this season
