Posted January 11, 2010 1st Jan catch up! Change Haden United 1-0 Secret United In a much of huge importance Haden United closed to within a point of being champion with a tense victory over Secret United. Secret United went out to attack Haden United playing a 3-4-3 formation with Haden United playing a 4-4-2 lineup. The first half was very close with only 2 chances in it. However after the whistle to restart the game, Durov the young Haden United midfielder found himself in space and broke past the undermanned Secret United defense, he slotted it past the goalie as the home fans went wild. The two teams looked well matched but Secret United only made 1 chance to Haden Uniteds 6. In the end they had no fight back and Haden United closed out the match. Both games between these two teams have been very tight affairs but with this win Haden United draws in on the title. Secret United on another day may have been the victors it was that close. Essex Elites 1-1 The Sixty Fourthers The Elites and the Sixty Fourthers failed to best each other and had to settle for a draw in a close match. Hooke headed the Elites ahead after 8 minutes as the Elites seemed to thrive using a 4-3-3 system. However Baralla assisted by the revered Kamal put the 64s back on level terms a few minutes later. The first half was a flurry of chances as the game went back and forth both teams trying to gain a late season win. The 2nd half was a much more calm affair as the teams struggled to uphold the pace of the first period of play. In the end a draw was a fair result with perhaps the 64s playing better at a push. The Elites continue to prove they aren't in this league by chance and the 64s still are lacking a spark to salvage their season. Madpool 5-5 Happenstance FC The most incredible match the report has ever witnessed was contended by two promoted sides that fought a titanic struggle. Gregor started the scoring smacking the ball in after 6 minutes to give Happenstance the lead. Happenstance had a 4-3-3 formation but Panic the youth was injured with the top scorer of the league Phingphaew coming on to replace him. Naranjo headed in a Carey corner to make it 1-1, danger was looming though as the incredible Phingphaew dove to score a header of his own from a Burbage cross. Just as the break was upon us Hadley curled one past the Happenstance goalie to make it 2-2. The atmosphere was incredible when both teams came out for the 2nd half. Phingphaew within 6 minutes scored from a weaving run and another sublime header for a hat trick. Alejo made it 5 as he sped past the Madpool defense who seemed to be falling apart at this point. Incredibly on the 57th and 58th minute Naranjo dribbled past the Happenstance defense not once but twice and converted both runs, to score his own hat trick! A minute after this Hadley supplied Quintal with a cross that he volleyed in. The two teams kept coming after each other both looking like they were going to win it, with chance after chance. Somehow it ended up a draw, what a match, it looks like this means Madpool are down but they just participated in one of the most incredible matches of the league. Tin Can Club 1-3 Roostophe Rovers No surprises in this match, Rovers give their chances of staying up a massive boost with a nice 3-1 win over Tin Can Club. Hapgood fed Mazzoleni with a ball that he flicked up and volleyed in for the first incredible goal of the match. Monington crossed it in for Grabinski to make it 2-0 before half time. With over 60% possession Rovers seemed to be cruising, however Johannsson gave Tin Can Club a brief moment of hope with a sweetly struck goal to make it 2-1. All hope was faded out as Grabinski hit another one in from outside the box just before the final whistle. Rovers take some pressure of themselves as Tin Can Club fail to make an impact. Analysis Most Important Result: Haden United 1-0 Secret United, probably decides the title race. Turned on the Style Award: Madpool and Happenstance FC, another equal award must be getting soft in the reports old age! Great game both teams provided quite a show. Player of the Day: Tobais Naranjo, scored a hat trick including 2 in 2 minutes to get his team a point and keep Phingphaew out of the spotlight (kind of). Edd Kirby Athletic 0-2 AFC Rez Rabies Athletic now look doomed as their youth side proved no match for promoted and incoming champions Rez Rabies. The match started quietly with Athletic having a 2-1 chances advantage over Rabies in the 1st half. However this may only have been because Athletic played 4-4-2 to Rabies 4-3-3. When Rabies saw more of the ball pressure came and the youth side of Athletic cracked. Saeys headed in an own goal in an awful defensive mix up, just before the end Hallerstrom shot home a goal to make it 2-0. Rabies were running wild but the excellent goalkeeping of Athletics goalie Bain made sure it was only 2-0. Athletic were outclassed and look out of ideas but hopefully their long term youth plan will work out. Rabies are back in the Premier League. Cubic County 0-0 Noodle Esporte Clube County kept their unbeaten run going (7 games now) as they drew with Noodle in a lifeless match that County will be annoyed they didn't win. Having only 3 chances County were unlucky to have both Gould and Maupas important attacking figures injured during the course of this match. Noodle who are driving for promotion only had 1 chance and lacked any real menace throughout this game. It was a bad tempered affair with 6 yellow cards shown and the fans from both teams wanted more goals than bad tackles. Still a draw is not the end of the world for either team in regards to survival and promotion. Battlestar Odwinica 4-0 Emo Blades Odwinica look to be pushing for a promotion place as they buried the inconsistent Blades. Thing started badly for the Blades with an own goal and soon got worse as skilled defender Manning was injured and replaced with the Blades stand in goalie! This caused a crisis in defense that the already on top Odwinica leapt on. Groves scored with a break away then just before half time Blades lost another player to injury, Wojcicki a valuable midfield player. Gullian and Passoni with a header and wonderful direct free kick eased Odwinica to an easy win. Promotion is almost a certainty now and the Blades still have to watch their back when it comes to being relegated. Mcoys Sons 1-3 DuDs Baggies Baggies ended a 5 game winless streak to stop the club entering a crisis mode, by beating the Sons a team who have only won twice this season. Like Athletic the Sons find themselves in trouble as they seem to play very young sides. After a back and forth but not overly exciting 1st half the Baggies were given a penalty straight at the restart. Elliot converted it to make it 1-0, however Baggies lost veteran defender Bilger in a nasty looking collision moments later. The Sons took advantage with Yorke sliding in a cross from a corner. Baggies always seemed more likely to score next though, Gilchrist has had a quiet season but headed in a nice goal to make it 2-1, set up by Guara who had a great game. Shelton blasted one in at the end of the match to make it 3-1. Baggies badly needed this win while it pours more misery onto the Sons season. Analysis Most Important Result: Edd Kirby Athletic 1-3 AFC Rez Rabies, doom for one team and promotion for another! Turned on the Style Award: Battlestar Odwinica, 10 chances and 4 goals great demolition of a defensively proficient team. Player of the Day: Nelson Guara, Duds Baggies, a great game for him helped set up a crucial goal and was a much needed creative force for the Baggies. Complete Domstercool 2-0 Recall United Complete Domstercool shocked Recall United and gave other promotion chasers a huge favor with a 2-0 victory. United played 5-4-1 against Domstercools 4-5-1formation. This seemed to nullify both teams potential to score goals as they headed into the 1st half goalless. The Domstercool goalie Smallwood was on great form as United players failed to find the net. Domstercool then struck twice near the end of the game. Holt set up Whiteman for a long range shot with 13 minutes to go. Then Holt put through Mansall who hit a goal in off the post for his 1st of the season. Domstercool haven't had the best season again but this is a great victory and a real blow to Recall United's attempts to win the championship. Martinists Men 2-1 Soap Box Utd However the Men also cause a shock beating Soap Box Utd in a close but well earned victory. Soap Box Utd played 5-3-2 and this seemed to nearly work in strategy. While they only gained 1 chance the in form Muiren scored a great header just after half term. However even with 5 defenders Utd couldn't stop the Men from scoring. The Men came forward with 6 chances and converted one firstly when White set up Irving for a quick snap shot. Then right at the death Millen shot a scrappy corner home to give the Men their best win this season. Eights United 5-0 Dudezz United continue to be ready to take advantage of any slip ups the big four make as they stalk them just a few points behind. United proved they are ready to be taken seriously with a magnificent performance against Dudezz. Dudezz may be abandoned but this was a true destruction of the side. Brodal set up two goals early on a break away and headed goal for Smerud and Bentzun, Smerud then scored another header moments later. Flatland set a headed goal up then headed his own one in to make it 5-0 on 50 minutes. United played 3-4-3 and were clearly confident in their abilities. 61% possession and 10 chances makes it clear this was a team in complete control. Great value performance from United. Discount Viagra 4-0 Made of Win Another abandoned team and another destruction job. Viagra like United played 3-4-3 and went straight after Made of Win. Atlee set Arber up twice first for a low driving shot then for a looping header. In the 2nd half Viagra pushed forward even more and finished the game with 8 chances to 0 and 66% possession. Arber was on fire and headed in another goal before setting up Ewing for a diving header. Viagra are making their push and with this performance deserve to be up their challenging for a promotion spot. Analysis Most Important Result: Martinists Men 2-1 Soap Box Utd, best ever result for the Men and a blow to Utd Turned on the Style Award: Eights United, amazing performance by this team. Player of the Day: Edward Arber, Discount Viagra, hasn't been great this season but was untouchable this game. Next two catch ups will be awards only with a final report for the final games! Very sorry been sloppy this season need to improve next time as its really fun to do when its on time! Awards will still be coming out prob at the weekend so keep your eyes peeled. Could anyone PM or post if they have friends that want to join and get them to join the boards . Anyway good luck all you guys for tommorow! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 12, 2010 There are many bad Every Day Event mails you can get - In one season for my other team I got two different event messages where I lost 3m econ in each - but this is a particularly bad one that a team got that I was informed about: Late last night a gang of angry fans found their way into FC Banditos's clubhouse and set fire to it using petrol. According to witnesses the fans then lost control over the fire. The reason they were angry is thought to be that the comfortable chairs in the stadium have been replaced by hard iron seats. The fans admitted to the crime but at the same time said they only wanted to scare the management. Unfortunately Howie Barrie who is very loyal to the club was in the the clubhouse writing a security report on fire safety. Because there were no fire detectors installed in the clubhouse he did not notice the fire until it was too late but he still managed to get out of the clubhouse. Witnesses had called the fire departement and the player was rushed into hospital even though there was not much hope he would recover from his serious injuries. The hospital staff did everything they could to save Howie Barrie's life but sadly he passed away after a few hours in hospital because of severe lung damage. The whole of FC Banditos are in grief after their great loss but at least a compensation of 7 737 200 econ is paid out by the club's insurance company And the player in question was a 24/9 - an excellent player and worth more than the compensation. I've also learnt of other events about "Rioting Fans" or "Mafia Threats", which cause an indefinite 5% performance deduction. As well as a dreaded one known only as "Pizza Parlour" - but that one is very, very rare. So, next time you get one about a player who comes off a rollercoaster and slips over a puddle of vomit that his girlfriend spewed out whilst on the ride and, as a result, is injured for a month and loses all of his high form. Remind yourself that it could have been worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 12, 2010 Mcoy heard rumors you're as likley to be in a plane crash as to have a player die on XL, not sure if it's true Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) Wow, that's a bad every day event. The majority of mine have been "something happened, but his form was not affected". The rarest one (I think) was then a player became a presenter on a sports show, which had no affect on the player but gave me a bit of extra money per week. Edit: DAMN YOU ODWIN!!!

Posted January 12, 2010 Ah, so close! Well done Munchers! That was the first game I played defensively and I'm thinking it was probably a tactical error. My strong point is in my forwards. Ah well, to next season! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 12, 2010 Cube was staying up untill the last kick of the game season. I don't know why i had 1 chance all game, i went with a 3-4-3..? Was soo happy to equalise though, then looked at the league to find out it didn't actually matter (for me). Whoooooooo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 12, 2010 I need to sort out my away form next season. Ive got the best home record in the league but my away record it terrible! I apparently do better when I'm away. I'm still shocked at how badly my team has done this season. It was supposed to be a season of relaxing and easy wins for me to return to the top league where I belong.

Posted January 12, 2010 Damn I didn't set the tactics on my final match, not that it mattered ultimately but it would've been fun. Looking forward to the change report although I wish I had a bit more monies. Next season will be a season of money saving in preparation for buying some decent players, methinks.

Posted January 12, 2010 This is where I always seem to have problems, I spend my money to buy a new player or two for the new season then have none left over for training in the beginning so my form suffers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 12, 2010 Got a draw agains the league winner. I think I did pretty good for the first season with a new team. I have much better understanding of how the game works unlike the previous two season I played and abandoned halfway through. My frontrunners seem screwed. Two of them has 10 and a third 9 in average form Two of them also has 93 and 94% exp but everyone else got 100. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 12, 2010 Wow so so close at the end of the season. I was so excited when inspirational defender Morris Drynan put us 1-0, but I was dreading finding out the other scores when we ended up drawing 1-1. Incredibly tight, can't believe we survived thanks to a last minute free-kick by Marvin Standen of DuDs Baggies. Thank You Marvin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 12, 2010 Mcoy last 1 - 0 away to a last minute goal and had a player badly injured. Mcoy was not expecting a new season but Mcoy did get his 100% ME although Mcoy was hoping for a better Average form. Mcoy is wondering if anyone knows exactly when the next Change report is?

Posted January 12, 2010 Crazy last day! Amazed the results went my way and I finished second! Told you, youd probably win had a bad feeling about that game. Results really turned out your way congrats on 2nd place! Ah, so close! Well done Munchers! That was the first game I played defensively and I'm thinking it was probably a tactical error. My strong point is in my forwards. Ah well, to next season! You have had a great first season man I hope you get a good change report. I like your report because you've got a clip from Koyaanisqatsi! Have you actually seen it? No but I really want to. Haden: How long a break are we gonna be having before next season?? Hmm what does everyone think week or two? If Mcoy and Essex could contact their friends that would be awesome. If anyone else knows anyone that wants to play please contact them and point them to this thread and let me know numbers. Apparently I can start the league again any time after the change report. Congrats on a great sesaon everyone its been really dramatic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 12, 2010 3 divisions is a cool thing, brings in more competition for the middle league in my eyes. As for a cup, possibly do another. And the final question, i don't have mates who wish to play xpert. Sorry. In other news Won my last game 2-0 and i came 2nd in the league. Which i think means Recall goes up to the next league.

Posted January 12, 2010 Joint second is better than letting the dirty Secret United win! Happy with the draw! Congrats to everyone promoted, and commiserations to those relegated.
