Season 41

[Bermudo]

My team has 3 losses so far in league, but has played all of the top teams (1, 3 and 4) twice already, so keeping second place seems possible, especially since 1 and 3 still have a game against each other. Since I was shooting for 3rd (current 1 and 3 being heavy token buyers), this is slightly better than expected. CL quarterfinal looks very good (4-0 away win already), so reaching semifinals is very likely, thus Im pretty close to reaching my season goals. CL was a bumpy ride with a tough group and a very tough opponent in the last 16, but quarterfinals were easier. Semifinals will be hard to win, mostly all-scout teams left, but reaching the finals would be an unexpected bonus, not something Im really expecting.

All in all, a tough season heading towards an agreeable end. I hope I get easier league and CL draws next season, but its not really likely since Im at the top of my server, so there are no inactive teams who didnt get promoted last season.

Match Report - AEPRE FC 6-1 Klisakojai FC (Lithuanian Team)



An ultimate performance from AEPRE FC, with both Didier Drogba and July have created a very great chances, but Drogba should have been very excited about his debut, as he scored a hat-trick and earned 9 match rating, but the credit should also goes to July, as he assisted one for Drogba. This make sure that AEPRE FC is looking in a very great shape before tomorrow's CL quarter-final aganist Viet Hoang FC, a scout buyer. The match will be played at 11:11 ICT.

LEAGUE ROUND 18

July Fourth 3-0 Fenerbahce SK

July Fourth 119.2 4-1-3N-2 until 63 mins 4-1-2-1-2 ND (O'Sullivan OOP) - Fenerbahce 110.6 3-5-2 inverted V

This time I was available to watch my teams game against Fenerbahce who managed a shock 2-1 win against us 2 weeks ago back in Round 5, and this time we were much better, We had Miku suspended meaning we could not choose the optimum formation being the narrow diamond to counter and setup 4-1-3-2 with red arrows on Diamond in our midfield, It was a slow start to the game and the best early chances fell for Fenerbahce but made nothing of it, Papaleo broke clear just after the half hour mark and and took it round the keeper to give us the lead, Michu should of made it 2-0 on 39 minutes but out it wide, When the second half begun Fenerbahce had a great chance to equalise when Stuart gave away a free-kick, specialist Ridvan got his effort on target but Knight saved it and out for a corner for Malik to header away, Papaleo dribbed past a defender and passed to Michu but the keeper saved it for a corner and Stuart crossed in for Childs to header in our 2nd goal, Stuart then had a chance himself but it went wide, next Papaleo once again was getting past the Fenerbahce defence so easily today and passed to Michu and this time Michu finally put it in the back of the net, Next Papaleo then got behind the defence once more but this time it was Pietropaolo (who just came on for Michu) that put it wide... Diamond and O'Sullivan but tried long range shots but they were both blocked and a late opportunity was missed when Papaleo once more got past the defence and passed to Hardy and it was saved for a corner which was cleared away.

Goals: Papaleo (31) Childs (56) Michu (62) MOTM: Papaleo.

Suspension News: Stuart is suspended for the next league game after picking up a yellow, Miku returns.

Team Talk: We got the win to avenge our disappointing 2-1 loss against this team 2 weeks ago, but on another day this quite easily could of been 6-0 or 7-0 to us and perhaps all these missed chances on goal could of cut Batigo's GD advantage down. We are behind by a GD of 14 now because Batigo won 12-0 against agger who are a severely inactive team, but we still have to play agger later on in the season.

Nascimento has probably scored one of the most important goals of the season.

League, round 18

nakume's 0-1 Perfect Tactics

Nakumes: 51.5, 4-5-1v | Perfect Tactics: 61.5, 4-2-2-2 hex & butterfly

This was a frustrating game and yet again we couldn't make any clear cut chances until the end. Time and time again, we just didn't kill our opponents like we usually do. We looked tired and lethargic, giving our opponents so many chances and space to work the ball around. Our main problem was that our passes kept getting intercepted and shots were blocked. Our opponents had several free kicks and corners but our defence saved us today, if it wasn't for Vittalone, I think we would have lost. We had the best chance midway in the first half, Nascimento getting on a loose ball and bursting past the defence, however his shot was straight at the goalkeeper. It was a dull remainder to the half and we needed to make changes. We changed to the butterfly which turned out to be worse as our opponents had a lot of chances. We have away free kicks, one of which was saved by the goalkeeper. We still couldn't break them down, no matter what we threw at them. However there was one last twist in the game... On 89 minutes, Petersen took advantage of a mistake by the defender, he took the ball and crossed it perfectly for an unmarked Nascimento to tap in at the far post. That could be the most important goal of the season so far. We are 16 points clear at the moment and 2nd place will play 3rd place in what could also play an important role for our season.

I think we got a bit lucky today, based on the way we played we didn't deserve it.

Goals: Nascimento (89')
MOTM: Vittalone

What is going on with our team... max condition/win bonus/morale (as always) and we are finding it hard to win. Last 5 games, we have only scored about 10 goals. Our form has hit rock bottom, in fact we haven't really played like we did in the previous seasons.

If your going to get 26-0-0 in any given season, there will always be a game or two you need to dodge a bullet and get a bit of luck to win a game to make it happen and this is usually it.

I don't know what's going on... I am on a poor run of form.

I still have tough games coming up, 26-0-0 may not be possible this season.

Yeah, sounds like my former forum league team. 18-0-0 so far this season on that account, but there is still 2 games that can end it. Ajax Afterdark and JKL48 both away.

I just want to win the league. If I don't win the CL then it will be just like L6.

FC Kneipenkick news:
After close to 6 full seasons at FC Kneipenkick Evangelos Clemens left the club today.
He was the best goalgetter in season 1, he participated in every CL campaign and worked in the last seasons
as a nice replacement to B. Decker. But with the seasons going on he lost some stars and finally FCK management looked for a replacement. The successor arrived today morning in 20 years old and 44 quality MR/AMR A. Jurcan.
FCKs management hopes that Jurcan can step into Clemens footsteps and wish Evangelos Clemens all the best at Sentürk FC (level 5).



With this sell Bernd Gürser is the only remaining player from season 1 in the squad.
