Season 41

[Ljepoje]

And as you @July,Fourth mentioned - He had them as "unsigned". It seems that he is underdoing PT as well, and have been spending a couple of millions on renewing contracts. Seems that he sold a couple of 5* as well and tried to replace them with ****ty 3/4* to avoid tougher opposition in the CUP.

But still, it will be quite tough for him to overturn that 5 - 2 away loss in the return tomorrow.


Prel. squad/line up.

I have a feeling that unsigned players do not count towards the average...I may be wrong but this could be a way to get a good cup draw

Yeah, that could be the case. But still, haven't he figured out that he is the highest "falcon" at the highest lvl on the entire server? If there was a lvl 7,8 or 9 above, then he would (as myself and a couple of others) been facing and playing against higher lvl teams? This guy just amazes me

But this "trick" could work for you or JF since your on a older one (mixed lvls).

Just remember though... You don't need to manipulate the cup system because you are the best team on your server. TanerGS may have a cause to arguement but he got lucky really.

Yeah me and dv8r tried the lowering the average quality trick and it didn't work, remember I had 105Q and I lowered to 98Q eith retaining crap youths over a season and signing loads of 3* players? and nearly made myself bankrupt because of it to try and manipulate the cup draws and find out 2 seasons ago I was drawn against other 105Q teams?

Yeah, but don't know for sure. It seems that he has a couple of friends (experienced ones) and that he is picking up their tips and tricks. But don't know if he is aware of the fact that we all are at the highest lvl on the server, and that there aren't any teams above us.

I checked up TanerGS as well, he beat a Dutch opponent with 0 - 2 away. Also, there are a lot of Turkish teams this season. They are starting to establish, and in a good way - buying scouts and 5* players. Also, they seem to support each other. Our Italian friends "ZEO Team" got beat by an another Galatasaray team today as well (3 - 2 away).I remember last season when I played against Galatasaray and Fenerbahce, they had 4 or 5 supporters - I had none.

Also, I've spotted my upcoming CUP opponent on the TM. He bought a 24yr old AMC (shadowstriker) for 26M and 49T.

Bermuda triangle won their first cup game against a strong, but seemingly inactive team (no signings since season start, manager didnt show up). Leitner showed that hes keen on being the teams top scorer again this season by starting out with a hattrick, result 3-1 home. Lets hope his form continues through the away game tomorrow.

[Maor23]

lost cup game 1-0 away today, really hope I could come back on the second leg I really don't want to go out second consecutive season in the preliminary round. still waiting for people to relax with the transfer market so I can get some decent players.

A very disappointing draw in the first round of RR Cup earlier today. The day had started already bad with 5 injuries in 5 trainings, all over 4 days (4,4,5,6,6). We faced at our home an absurd 3N-2N-1-2W-2 which we opposed with a 4-2-2-2 playing on flanks. Despite the pressure and possession both in our favour, being out for the Comic's day made us just click the join button and sub players in the second half. We had a huge advantage for all the first half but somehow they blocked any attempt from flanks supposedly with their DCs. In the second half we switched to narrow diamond and kept more or less the same pressure, managing to finally score with Matsukase. We were about to double but our shoots today were totally off target, and few mins after our goal we suffered the very first action against us in the match, resulting in a double corner and of course the tie despite our aerial defender DC.

The opponents have the advantage of the away goal and of what seems an iron defense despite the lack of any wingers on sides. New Team probably suffers from a bit of confusion given the first days, and might end up saying bye to the cup before even facing a worthy team. On the other side we must say the manager at least was active and gave us a good fight.

On side note, PT is going on fragmented due to continuos injuries. As we speak 2 more inkured came out of 2 trainings, taking the toll to 7 in less than 12 hrs.

Sry to hear, never good to draw or lose in the opening game, especially not at home.

But 3N-2N-1-2W-2: Is it something like this?

-----ST-----
AML ----AMR
---- MC ----
-DMC--DMC-
DC--DC--DC

I would have gone:

-----ST(ST)-----
AML---------AMR
---MC-MC-MC---
-DL--DC-DC--DR-

Then just replaced a DC or MC with a ST if I needed a goal.

About the injuries, when do they occur (time) ? I got 2 injuries so far, both of them on my ST, Džeko (6 resp. 3 days).
I tend to get all of the injuries after lunch + evening, seems the engine strikes when there are most people online.

It's started.

Looks like PT will be hell. Logged in finding 9 players on negotiation. Training from ios will be fairly difficult.
