Season 41

[July Fourth]

LEAGUE ROUND 2 - PREVIEW

July Fourth vs Batigo United

July Fourth 118.2 - Batigo United 115.8

This has got to be the biggest battle there is on our server/level, possibly the 2 teams that have won the most trophies on our level, July Fourth have recently grew in strength with the power training era while Batigo have been a scout buyer since day 1 of playing I'd imagine, spending 500T a season to refill the starting 11 with more scouts to maintain strength, since there isn't a lot of token buyers around, its easy to say why these 2 are the big fish of our level on our server, July Fourth have 29 trophies and Batigo United have 28 (16 LGE, 11 CL, 1 Cup).

Of course, none of the teams squads feature any of the players from our Champions League Semi-Final back in L12 which started off a rivalry between the 2 clubs, It was a close game, but with slightly more quality for Batigo United they edged both games by winning them both 2-1, Of course with both teams with so many trophies and July Fourth being the most successful of the 2 teams since that meeting through the power training age, July Fourth this season have power trained further back towards the strength of L13, through disappointment of the Champions League last season coupled with tough CL draws with LIVERPOON reappearing, and then the news of finding us facing off against Batigo United in the league this season, then it lead to more investment to try and keep July Fourth at the top level of playing.

What are Batigo United's weaknessess.... well, they always play 4-4-2 and they often purchase scouts with some with useless SA's... so maybe we can look into it, 4-4-2 will allow Miku to get space and if Miku plays a blinder then July Fourth will win today with no questions. Defence is their strength this season with the 4 centre backs of 119,119,119 and 118 quality, midfield is weaker 117,115,117,119 and strike force is 117 and 119. So they maybe counter attacking to fear for, July Fourth's quality for their first 11, does out do Batigo with most of our first 11 players having qualities of at 120. They may have a scout team, but they don't have 7*,8* and 9* players, so is July Fourth equipped enough to beat Batigo United this afternoon and move 5 points clear of the rivals in the league already?

Odds: July Fourth 4/7, Draw 11/4, Batigo United 4/1.

First Goalscorer:
Michu 4/1
Miku 9/2

Preview
The two title rivals from previous season come and face once again, as AREMA FC seems to be inactive, and still remains on the formation we play last season.

AEPRE FC is set to be playing on 3-5-2 V-style aganist 3W-1-4-2. Falcao and the new July Fourth is set as two ST, as the rest of the lineups pretty much the same. Player conditions and morale are very great as they will be facing their harsh rival.

You probably already know this but you've got too many strikers and no left/right midfielders/wingers, so maybe its time to sell 2 strikers and replace with wing players when they come available in the market.

NEW SIGNING TO AEPRE FC!!!



After July have suggested AEPRE FC's manager about my team having too many strikers, today they managed to sign him for just 5 tokens. AEPRE FC's revolutional week has begun.

UPDATE LINEUP FOR AREMA FC MATCH

[dv8r]

**** SAKE. Why are these idiots always so ****ing lucky!?!? It always happens in the cup!!!!! He wasn't even watching and his DEFENDER set up the winning goal from a corner.

I can take losing but not when it's against undeserving idiots like this.

So our 2nd home defeat in a row... Again, in the cup. No point even playing in it when there are teams 3 levels higher who just tank seasons and improve their team the season after.

I would also like some input in beating the 4-1-3W-2 because it seems that everything I throw at it seems to come back at me

Sry to hear! You were a far better opposition than your opponent.

Don't know why the 3N-2W-2N-2W-1 formtion didn't work for you, but what orders/tactics did you use? arrows, win bonus? And is Pistov the best ST you have?

And how did they score their 3rd goal? (don't say through/via a corner, hate CK!)

Yes it was from a corner. Crossed in by his 5* defender and scored by his 6* ML LOL.. Look at my defenders!!!

I used
Attacking, down both flanks, pressing own half, mixed passing, normal tackling, zonal marking, counter attack, no offside trap.

Red arrows on AML/AMR and ST

And Pistov is my best striker. For now anyway.

Yeah, that's what I thought.... Hate when they equalize or get a last minute goal through/via a CK... pisses me off like hell!

Try: Attacking, mixed, pressing whole pitch, mixed passing, hard tackling, zonal marking and NO counter attack, offside trap or arrows for that matter.

I've been using/playing with these orders since lvl 4 (when I decided to buy T) and it has been working fine

I gotta test this tactic. I'm not sure about mixed passing for butterfly though.. I am going to change formation in the 2nd leg. 4-2-2-2 hex or butterfly but with 1 MC and 2 ST

[Morgan O'Bree]

i'm ashamed to be just a mere 3*
