No, this time you wrong! :D I renamed him to the former Bundesliga Top-Scorer Vedad Ibišević (VfB Stuttgart) :)

what training rates can I expect from a 21T youth player?
I found a pretty damn good 18yr old MC (fast trainer) on the neg. list this morning.... Let's see if he accepts. ;)
Have around 100T left, and could use it for PT or train him in a AMC role.

CoolioFC register their first league victory of the season, a 4-1 win away from home means, temporarily, we are up to 6th. relief all round.
at least 2.0 (getting about 20/40/60 from norm and 40/80/120 from hard, id call that a fast trainer), 2.5 if youre lucky (thats a very fast trainer). My new youth goalkeeper only has 2.0, but my DC from 2 seasons ago and some bought players had better training rates.
no token youth players usually have 1.0-1.5 which is bad for 18yo.
After the 1-1 in the first leg, Alex FC says bye. Poor tactic display against a 4-2mc-3w-1 which, with alex's Q, woulda have been easily defeated.

FC Kneipenkick update:
FC Kneipenkick (47,0 4-4-2) 4-1 Tritura FC (33,3 3N-4-3)
FCK veterans Kunz (24., 45.) and Decker (54., 74.) secured a good win against active team Tritura, who scored the 3-1 by Smirnov (67.).
Malika FC could win with an even higher margin, so Kneipenkick stayed second with 12 points and 15-3 goals, 4 goals less than Malika.
League, round 4 result
Perfect Tactics 5-1 Thai Team
Perfect Tactics: 60.7, 3-2-2-2-1 (2nd half 3N-2W-3N-2 and 3-5-2 inverted v) | Thai Team: 48.3, 4-3N-2W-1
We were up against one of our favourite formations and it caused us many problems today. We thought it would be easy for us, Shlimazl in the first minute almost heading in a free kick. Then it all went pear shaped, Niedermeyer breaking free of the defence and finishing for a shock 0-1 lead. We just couldn't find a way back and we were definitely doing something wrong. They kept blocking and tackling us and had no trouble going for goal either. We needed to do something and fast. We switched to a 4-5-1v and did get something back just before half time from a Nascimento header following the corner. However the 4-5-1v was not a good counter and we had to resort to playing Petersen OOP in a 3N-2W-3N-2 formation and that's when we took the lead. Nascimento again from another corner to put us 2-1 up. There was a period in the game for at least 20 minutes when it was pretty much even and they had a few good chances to score a second goal. However Nascimento completed his hat trick with good play with substitute Pistov and to give us some daylight between the teams. Pistov got a goal himself and then Silly finished our opponents off to give us a 5-1 lead but it's not something to be happy about. I think we just about got away with this one! Ardiles was sent off late in the match and the free kick from Petersen was saved.
Goals: Niedermeyer (8'), Nascimento (42', 50, 74' HAT), Pistov (77') Silly (82')
Sent off: Ardiles
DO NOT USE BUTTERFLY FORMATION AGAINST 4-3N-2(AML/AMR)-1, IT IS USELESS
yeah, the no token one was crap as always, I always train them down to 0% to get the additional ~2 skillpoints and sell them. like everyone i guess
But the 21T one is interesting, the problem is i only have ~30 green packs and he is barely 4* (Q36). The plus side: he is a MC and I dont need to train a new position (at least not atm, I have enough AM* players and my defense is also solid.
So I want to give him a SA (I guess playmaker, because I have good players with corner and freekick) and then I want like 10-14 levels more. So I need to buy rest packs too.
Lets see how the guy I made an offer for his Q43 MC with good training speed (at least his price indicates good speed) decides, if he accepts my offer, I wont buy the youth. If he doesnt I will decide tomorrow.
I think it does... I didn't have many chances when I used the butterfly
It seems that the butterfly is not good at defending against teams with AML/AMR... Such as 4-2-2-2 hexagon and I would imagine it being crap against 4-5-1v as well.
In these cases, you could use the 3-2-3-2 to good effect.
I need to find a counter for the 4-5-1v though, I play that tomorrow and it's quite a tough team.
LEAGUE ROUND 4
July Fourth 3-0 ceyhun
July Fourth 118.3 dandelion - ceyhun 110.4 3W-2-3W-2 defensive
Our opponents decided to try and play for a draw I think here, with setting up a formation that looks like its setup to defend and/or perhaps counter us like beta united did a long time ago. We we on the front foot in the first half creating many chances with Pietropaolo getting on goal a couple of times but what unable to finish it and it was 0-0 at HT, the second half continued like the first, Vestergaard broke clear and looked like scoring but the keeper saved it and went out for a corner... Michu crossed in the corner and... HANDBALL... Zurita made a delibrate handball and was given a red card and Michu despatched the penalty, 5 minutes later Miku put the game to bed from 25 meters, our opponents continued to defend rather well to the end but we got one last chance with Miku beating a defender and passing to substitute Papaleo for an easy goal.
Goals: Michu (49 PEN) Miku (54) Papaleo (86) MOTM: Michu.
S/O: Zurita (49)
July Fourth stay top of the table after todays important win with Batigo beating an inactive team earlier 2-0, If it comes down to GD then that 2-0 may seem like a good result for us because that game was effectively a 'gimme' for Batigo and they also play the other inactive team tomorrow so 3 points are guaranteed for them, so 3 points are a must for us tomorrow as well.
We were eliminated from the cup
Today, thanks to a 3232 very offensive (DC DC DC MC MC AML AMC AMR ST ST), we almost managed to overturn the result of the first match
We played with three defenders, two midfielders, three attacking midfielders and two strikers and we dominated the game, but we won only 1 - 2 in the field of our opponent. In the first game, due to a stupid fear, we played with 5 defenders and one striker, losing ( o - 2) on our field.
What a pity! We have lost a good opportunity!
Now, we take a one week vacation, and we will leave the autopilot
goodbye, we will return the Monday June 17
Lost 0-2 first leg away.
Was up 3-0 at home but 3 of my 5 stars players injured in the second half (WTF Nordeus???? their conditions were 99% before the game) then come minute 88" ... opponent scored the away goal and 3-3 on aggregate :mad: I couldn't believe it ..
Attachment 7759
Lesson learned, I was overconfident in the first leg because even though my opponent is 2 levels higher than me, he is an afk player so I didn't bring my best team (also didn't max the rewards) which resulted in a 2-0 lost.
The troll continues: the "goes wide day"
http://i41.tinypic.com/2n9yhjl.png
Left side: 1st half stats; rights side: total stats.
Another trololol day at trololol nordeus stadium where New Team hosted the second leg of cup. A match which proved how the 3-41-4-2 is the killer of 4-1-3-2, and that also proved that our bitching via support of the late days is getting compensated and retributed via game engine. Yes, because we didn't spot a single action by the other team apart from a random free kick which our Keeper deflected. For the rest, we had AT LEAST 20 opportunities which, guess what, were ALL tagged "but it goes wide". Not a single clutch by their keeper, there was no need. Those 7 shoots on goal you see, were amongst the tornado of shoots, 1VS1 CHANCHES being 4 by Hutton (1vs1 specialist), 2 by Schneider, 1 by stark (who passed to hutton and ofc went wide).
http://i40.tinypic.com/2s7ctbc.png
As final cherry, MoM their keeper, who didn't get even mentioned once lol. Nice to see poor ratings in all my team despite having CRUSHED them. Should i start a new account? this one seems compromised. Not that they'll see any more token buying here, ehe.
EDIT: the favour bar you see in first half kept like that the whole match.
Keep rollin', rollin' rollin' ...
8-1 league win, and 3-0 2nd leg cup game away, making it 8-1 on aggregate.
Early league match tomorrow at 10am - Hmmmm, Ireland are playing a WC qualifier tonight, I might have a few beers, doubtful I'll be up for that one, so I think I'll just have my team set up and let them at it.
CL match at 17:30 tomorrow, a win there will almost have me into 2nd round. As the other teams are beating and drawing against each other and I'll have beaten all 3 at least the once.
Today is the good day for me ... after sending out 30Q scout striker out of the team we won the game with 4-3 in away match in Cup .... there was a problem with this 30Q St that he did not mingle properly and team thought that they were far behind than him in the quality hence no unity in the team so defeat in the league and very low score wins ...but when is out and the old ST back in game who has 16Q ...they are united and beat the team who's rating is 18.4 where mine is 16.4 ....
my DL received Red card at 49th minute then team was even more aggressive and found the net 2 times with just 9 players and won match for me which put me in Playoffs ...Go CUP go ...I won the home match already with 2-1
Nah, first lost for Troll F.C. this season. :( 0-1 in the cup at home against ΛAEPMA, but thanks the 4-2 from the first leg Troll F.C. eliminated another active manager. The Trolling continues: TROLOLOLOL :D
Edit: In the league Troll F.C. is on track after a 4-1 against an team with strange 3W-2DMC-3N-AML-ST tactics.
RR Cup, 2nd round - RESULT
monte fc (3) 1-4 (2) Perfect Tactics
monte fc: 60.4, 4-4-2 classic | Perfect Tactics: 60.7, 3-2-2-2-1 butterfly
Perfect Tactics win 6-4 on aggregate
WE DID IT!!!
The 3 words to describe this match because we deserved to go through. Having lost the first leg to a lucky goal, we needed a bit of our own luck and come from behind to win by 2 goals or more. We did just that and we did it in style. We had most of the chances early in the game and you could sense a goal was coming. We were worried that our opponents would randomly score out of no where but it was Perfect Tactics who took the lead today. Nascimento trying a long range strike which flew into the top corner. It was 0-1 but we needed more. Suddenly the tide was turning and we were well on top, Nascimento feeding Van der Zande who tapped in an easy shot for 0-2. That would be enough for us but any goal from our opponents and they would win on away goals. Silly made it 0-3 shortly after, a long range strike finding the back of the net via a deflection but we don't care, we had a 3 goal advantage and 2 on aggregate and protection against the away goal. We kept the same formation in the 2nd half because it was working. However monte fc got a goal back from a counter attack, Zaini's shot too hot to handle for our defenders and it gave them a route back into the game. Barrachana then broke free of the defence and almost made it 2-3 but his shot went over. That was the turning point of the game, our opponents goalkeeper got injured and we grabbed a 4th goal through Zenzizenzike and killed off our opponents. They had a chance right at the end which missed the target.
Into the next round!
Goals: Nascimento (23'), Van der Zande (27'), Silly (38'), Zaini (53') Zenzizenzike (74')
I am very happy with the team today.

good day at CoolioFC. after my win this morning, i played the second leg of my cup game. i actually forgot i had played the first eg and was leading the tie. and after a 0-0 draw i was dissapointed thinking i had it all to do in the second leg. i was slightly frustrated at the fact my opponent turned up with 2 of his little mates, and still couldnt win :D
Well, thats a good turn around for Perfect Tactics and you survive elimination from the RR Cup... Which especially in the early stages is what we need to do to have any chance of winning the competition. We play our 2nd leg in 3 hours, but we lead 3-0 so there is no threat of us going out. We will also be in the next round draw.
I think Petersen is struggling this season. Now I'm starting to think.. Could age be a factor in how well a player performs? He's the oldest player in my team and hasn't scored in 4 games now. My other players like Silly and Zenzizenzike have 3 in 3 and they're 18 and 19 respectively... Nascimento is top scorer currently
What Level are you playing at now? Level 2, Season 3 (started season 1 part way through)
What are your ambitions? Do well in the Champions league and finish 1st for Level 2 League
How many Tokens you got? 16 (free from vids etc, not paying to play)
How much Money you got? 154k (Just overspent on a striker that now has my name :rolleyes: )
Who you buying/selling? Just looking to strengthen the squad and replace my back up and older players with better younger ones.
Still in the Cup but drawn against a guy 4 points on average per player better than me, after day 4 3rd in league with 3 wins and a draw, 2nd in CL with a 6-0 win and a 2-0 loss
Believe it was during his time in 1899 Hoffenheim. Scored 18 goals + 7 assist in 17 games, then he got a nasty injury. He was declared as the Bundesliga Player of the Month a couple of times. Remember he scored around 120 - 125 goals for Hoffenheim. Then he moved to Stuttgart (year 2012) and has scored around 45 goals since then.
Level 5!
what are your ambitions? everyone wants to win everything but cup and cl in my opinion are out of reach for me this season
but i'll win the league or qualify for the CL atleast :)
how many tokens you got? 11
how much money? -1.82 mil xD
who you buying or selling? selling my noob players and trying to buy new ones, but my server sucks :/ today i managed to win 2 bidding wars and bought 18 and 19 year old players, ST and MC, which is the reason of me going into minus. they both gave 7 rating which really was a blow coz i spent lots of money and tokens :/. need a new keeper
MATCHREPORT (DAY 6) - BALKAN BOYZ (Sz. 6 / Lvl6)
LEAGUE: We completetly crushed one of the better teams in the league today, the Spanish "CD Tenerife" with 7 - 1! Edin Džeko scored a hattrick while Luka Modrić, Lorik Cana, Matija Nastasić and Ognjen Vranješ scored a goal each. Edin Džeko was declared as MoM (rate:9). We are currently 1th with 12 points, 2 points ahead "Ryy ho" (2nd) and "Ekranas FC" (3rd), both at 10points. We are playing the Vietnamese team (something something) tomorrow at home. Kick off is scheduled for 14:22CET.
CUP: We managed to beat the Turkish team "Buca FC" with 1 - 4 in the 2nd leg of the T11 CUP qualifiers and are therefore through to the playoffs. Stevan Jovetić, Lorik Cana, Ivica Olić and Ognjen Vranješ scored a goal each, and Vedad Ibišević was declared as MoM (rate:9). Balkan Boyz win after 12 - 2 on aggregate!
TEAM TALK: I decided to spend this friday with my beloved on the Stockholm archipelago today, and this was the 1th time I didn't follow any of my games (don't ask how I did it, but I did!). Anyway, despite my absence my Boyz managed to do more then "fine". I'm quite satisfied with their overall performance and the results. Our new signing, Vedad Ibišević (7*) proved to be a "good signing" and managed to assist + declared as MoM in his debut today against "Buca FC".
Also, we made a negotiation offer this morgning to a Swiss team (offer: 50T + 28,2M). The player is a 18 yr old MC (Q49) and seems to be a fast trainer. My intention is to PT him to 7/8* + add a AMC role and SA (shadowstriker). Hopefully the Swiss manager will accept :)
Anders Rosendal seeming to be the best buy the whole season.
AMR having 10 goals in 4 league games with a solid 8.5 rate/game.
Doing a nice job every game, 26yo and cheap.
just did a draw in cup . 2-2, but won first game 2-0 so im fine..
not lost since ~25 games :-)
Seems that one of our biggest threats in the T11 CUP, Orchard Utd got eliminated after losing the return with 4-1 against "RBB FC" (Spain). Will be interesting to see which teams made it though to the playoffs by tomorrow.
We are still top of the league but Mus FC is also on 4 wins out of 4.
We play them on day 13 and 26.. But we may miss day 26 because we will be away. I hope we have won the league by then!

Days 4, 5 & 6 player reviews
On the up
- Antonio Nascimento - Has shot up in form in the last 3 days and is on course to be top scorer this season.
- Gaylord Silly - He has a couple of goals to his name in the past few days. He still scores when he wants.
- Shlomo Shlimazl - Immediate impact in the first team, got 2 consecutive hat tricks and has 7 goals in 4 games. On course to be signing of the season.
Going down
- Chano Petersen - It's hard to say that he's dropped in form but based on the last 3 days, he has not scored. Not really been as much as an impact as he usually is.
- Zenith Zenzizenzike - Scores but misses the free kicks that could have been scored by Petersen. Had at least 4 free kicks today and only one was on target. We are switching back to Petersen to see how it develops.
- Luke Warmwater - Form dropped a little bit in the past few days. Got a 6 today in the league.
- Iam Pistov - Last season's heroics in the Champions League looks to have got to his head. He just can't find his scoring boots and only notched 2 goals in the last 6 games. Shlomo Shlimazl is slowly pushing him out of the side.
So Petersen will be put back on free kick duties, if that fails then we'll give it back Zenzizenzike.
