Petersen took 2 free kicks but saved by the goalkeeper. New guy played like 25 minutes at the end and was invisible lol... Then again, so was Petersen for most of the match. We'll see what happens. I'm still going to try give him FK duties because against tougher opposition, they are needed.Quote:

What Level are you playing at now? Level 4, Season 5
What are your ambitions? Win the League. I didn't qualify for the CL cuz I was inactive during the last season. The cup is unnecessary, so I'll concentrate on the League.
How many Tokens you got? 5 remaining... But I'll buy some tokens because I want to power-train some of my players.
How much Money you got? 2.58M
Who you buying/selling? I have to buy new and younger players, my squad is a bit too old.
Woops, wanted to post my first cup game here also.
I've won 6-2, the opponent was quite better than me (players quality and so on). Picture of the last goal I've made:

I think it would of been even more funny if you let the friendly go ahead and watch the game and thrash him 8-0 or something like that and then delete them... :DQuote:

As for the beginning of this season, I am primarily aiming to make four signings this season (a DC, MC, ML and ST due to lack of cover) while selling Attila Szabo (ST) and Sung Hwan Ha (MC). Szabo was sold for £3.55m, while Ha was sold for about £4.5m. No silly season sales for me. :(
Meanwhile, after gathering 900T for this season and getting a good scout list, I have managed to sign a player from the scout list.
Attachment 7539
Twice
Attachment 7540
This took care of the DC and MC buys, so now needing an ML (as I only have one) and ST (need another for rotation and is one of my weakest areas).
We also played our cup match today against Saney FC, who are a level 8 club, but are a little weaker than me. However, they are one of those awkward sods that have some stand out players which can cause teams trouble, but the starting 11 as a whole isn't amazing.
Attachment 7541
So I went into the game thinking it was winnable, but that the ST's could cause some problems. Indeed, they had a couple of one on one chances, but somehow wasted them. Thankfully, I brought some lube beforehand because we managed to anal them.
Attachment 7543
Unfortunately, as shown above, I lost my only ML with a broken foot for 7 days, so will need to get another ML as soon as possible, or else I will have to use my treatment packs. I've also lost my backup GK for 2 days after training, but I will let that naturally heal. Due to my ML's injury, I will probably just go with a 5-3-2 and just ease the game out (surely I can't lose this).
That's my update, but on another note regarding the scout list, do you only ever go for those with 4's or 9's at the end and are 22yo, or do you make some exceptions (for example, going for a player with 3's or 8's or going for a 23yo)?
What Level are you playing at now? Level 6, Season 6
What are your ambitions? Win the League and Cup. I won 4 times CL League before
How many Tokens you got? about 40,but i will buy some tokens this week
How much Money you got? 69M
Who you buying/selling? I have to buy a strong player,about quality 49.I need one DMR and DC
If it's a player I really need and its near to 22 years and 4/9 players, I will take the player. Like I took a 119 quality player that was 24 earlier along with 2x 118 quality players that were both 22 years old. Scout list can never be perfect, so if its a little out we will take it.Quote:

PS. The auction list refreshed - again! :D ... That 18yr old Swiss seems to be a *fast trainer*, and he is 4SKP from a 6*. Could try and buy him if none of the "big fishes" decides to enter the bidding.
http://s17.postimg.org/7hwttk1xr/lolaaa.png
And the German I was talking about is back, this time he lost - but he lost just because he was and still is bidding on 3 other players at the same time.
http://s21.postimg.org/orotkii1j/lola.png
But this one he won! (the bulgarian player I mentioned earlier)
http://s14.postimg.org/h77y5sxwh/Snajzer.png
Then here we have the turk (whom I beat in the CUP final-eight) and the Croat (whom I beat last season, when bidding on Lulić) and of course THE GERMAN :rolleyes: ... (still on going, KO round - 23).
http://s24.postimg.org/6qtm9phbp/hahaha.png
Aaaa gonna love this server.. all those familiar faces.. I think I will have a quite entertaining evening. :rolleyes:
Any suggestions for my squad
Attachment 7544
What Level are you playing at now? - 3
What are your ambitions? - TOP 3 in league /CL or cup at least 1/4 final
How many Tokens you got? 1 (I bought one player today for 2 tokens :D )
How much Money you got? - 2M
Who you buying/selling? - I still have to decide, I have to sell 2 players and after 10-15 days I'll try to buy MC, DC and/or ST :)
and I hope I'll be more lucky this season... or atleast I wont be unlucky, it would be great if everything is normal :D
I've finally completed my team, I only miss players with special abillities, I didn't know they are important 2 days ago, so I should start to train special abillities, but still, I'm not sure enough what to train and which players to train, so I'll ask someone for advice... :D
And here is little team "news" since there will not be any matchreport until tomorrow evening.
Transfer: We signed 3 players today. 1x 18yr old DC/DMC with SA, 1x 23yr old MC with SA and 1x 22yr DL/DML with SA. The first mentioned is (or was) a server generated player, a 5*. He is underdoing some PT and I will push him to a 7*. He will be a great replacement for Vidić and Kovačić since he can play in both positions. The other two were bought as scouts (6*) this morning and are now officially 7*. All three are expected to play in tonights game against the Czech team "Žižkov FC". I will reveal their names on Monday evening, when they will be officially presented for the public.
We also sold our 3rd GK, Stipe Pletikosa this morning. He was a 5* (Q47) and 26 yr old. His market value was around 3 or 4M, but we managed to get +12,3M for him (clean profit). We have now +33,4M on the bank account and all of the money will go to pay wages and for a another signing or two.
PT- sessions: 2 of 9 selected players are done and have reached 7*. The remaining 7 players will reach 7* resp 8* by tomorrow evening. We have currently ca: +250 green boosters for our disposal.
Facilities/management: We are underdoing an upgrade of our currently stadium, from a lvl 6 arena with cap:31,000 to a lvl 7 arena with cap:43,000. The construction is estimated to finish in 17days.
Special Abilities are only worth training on the youngest of players and if your prepared to throw extra green boosters for more training to also maintain the players quality at the very least each season until they get into their mid 20's.Quote:

Too bad he is a "slow" trainer, would have bought him otherwise
im wondering - all my friends are lower qty than their enemies in cup. no one uses illegal formations, enemies are watching , yet all of em won like 6-0 .
wtf is going on?
i wanna win too , im scared , i hate 4-1-2n-1-2

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 drawQuote:

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 :rolleyes:Quote:

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.Quote:

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.
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.Quote:

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. :D
Also, I've spotted my upcoming CUP opponent on the TM. He bought a 24yr old AMC (shadowstriker) for 26M and 49T. :rolleyes:
I'm always surrounded by turkish teams, as well, you know Galatasaray, Fenerbahce, Besiktas, Trabzonspor, XXXXSPOR, UNAMEITSPOR and other wierd things like that, It's quite interesting to play them all, same with all the Thai Teams with the weird looking text so we can't read their team names, Plus LIVERPOON as well are in our CL draw again. I'm starting to see teams I've previously played or came across more often, Maybe when League fixtures come out tomorrow night, theres a nice surprise for us in store. Think I already know who one of our opponents are this season in the league and thats our sister club "erster FC Puma" and hes selling off his reject players now and trying to bring in some 5* bargains to improve his team slightly. I don't think he will promote mind but I could be wrong.Quote:

Haha, yeah. But they seem to do great as well. There are always 2 or 3 Turkish teams left when it comes to the quarters or semi-finals. Last season there where 4 teams in the CL quarters/semi-finals (Trazbon,Besiktas, Galatasaray and TanerGS). They got a nice start in the CUP qualifiers as well. Well well, let's see how it turns out. The funny part is that there aren't any teams from the Balkans (Slovenia,Croatia,Bosnia,Serbia,Montenegro,Macedon ia,Albania etc), which is wierd. The Western + Turkish teams are the ones that are dominating on my server.Quote:

But let's see how it turns around. The Champions League is tough as it is with: FC Kula,Iztik Yan,Zeo Team,Ryet United, Ac Milano, Il-Alahi and 3 other teams (all around Q44-46). We will probably end up as groupwinners, but will get it tough in the KO-stage.
Anyway, this is what I'm dealing with tonight. He has been changing his formation around (since he is trying to improve his squad by buying players).. But I'm considering to start with a 3W-2N-3W-2 formation against his 3W-1-3W-2-1 formation. Or should I stick with the 3W-1-2N-2W-2 as in the game against DS & TanerGS?

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.Quote:

-----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.
http://i44.tinypic.com/sxka45.png
It's started.
Looks like PT will be hell. Logged in finding 9 players on negotiation. Training from ios will be fairly difficult.
ALEX damn right wants your player hands down!!!Quote:

Just got another one

Im fighting the temptation to bid, too... lots of 5 stars on TL (pretty rare on my server) but bidding war on every single one of them.... well, my team is pretty ok at the moment, I only need a good attacking midfielder and some reserve players, maybe a decent 2nd striker, too, although i prefer 4-5-1 or 3-6-1 formations.
What Level are you playing at now? Level 15
What are your ambitions? to win the CUP
How many Tokens you got? 226

Who you buying/selling? DR-ST buying , selling my old DR and a young MC
He grows at almost 2 points per rest pack. I started today and he's halfway to DL role. Then we'll start on real PT.Quote:

I've got 49 now. The list changes in 2 days, right?Quote:
