Mr_Odwin Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Mcoy has returned from his break. Mcot sat in his car and recieved a text message from Dud stating he had lost 3 - 0. Bollock Mcoy stated, Mcoy checked his match and actually sees his tactics were good but his players were underplaying so Mcoy is not too dissapointed, Mcoy may have just been a tad unlucky. Mcoy thinks his goalkeeper is what is causing the problem as he only got 3 star performace! Sometimes the game goes your way luck wise and others it doesn't. When it does: heaven, when it doesn't: anger and indignation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuD Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I've just (well i assume) won the bidding on a 16 year old 3 skill striker with heading, goal poacher and leadership special abilities for my Xpert league team, but instead of getting a mail confirming the transfer i've got a mail saying its being investigated. What does that mean..? I blew quite a bit of money on him, but i'm planning on building up a team from scratch and he seemed like an ideal striker to start with.

Brian Mcoy Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I've just (well i assume) won the bidding on a 16 year old 3 skill striker with heading, goal poacher and leadership special abilities for my Xpert league team, but instead of getting a mail confirming the transfer i've got a mail saying its being investigated.

Mcoy knows there was a lot of cheating before with people setting up deliberate trades/money transfer. Mcoy has heard if you've done nothing wrong you'll be fine so just give it a little while.

Roostophe Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Yeah, it's what Mcoy said. There's been a bit of cheating. I found something about it on Xpert Daily in the Lobby: Monitoring of the transfer marketIn order to prevent attempts to cheat on the transfer market, where players are sold for too high amounts that would benefit some team a lot, we will from now on monitor the transfer market. Initially it will mainly concern our official league systems. If a transfer deal seems dodgy, the two involved managers will receive a mail that informs them that the specific transfer deal will be reviewed. Members of the support crew will then review each suspect transfer and either approve or deny the transfer. We will of course not reveal any details about what makes a transfer suspect or what criterias the support crew will follow when reviewing cases. By monitoring the transfer market we hope to catch the cheaters before any damage is done and also simply being able to deny a transfer that is highly unfair to other managers although cheating wasn´t involved. A transfer deal that is considered suspicious will be reviewed within 24 hours. I'm sure you'll be alright, though. They probably think you've had to pay too much.

DuD Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 (edited) In the end i payed 2-3 million more than the "average" transfer fee for similar players, but he was about the 4th player like that i had bid on and they all went for around the same figure. I definately spent more than i would have liked, but you've got to be the highest bidder if you want the player. I'm intending on using this season to completely rebuild the team, and was hoping that i could turn the 16/3 into hopefully a 17/5 next season and within a couple of seasons time have him as a main striker. I need to get rid of two of my keepers and bring in a fairly decent 2nd keeper over the course of the season, i'm thinking a 26 year old with fair skill, then bring in a youth 3rd keeper as i don't reckon it'll be long till my number one retires. I've still got some tinkering to be doing with the defence and midfield too. I'm trying to sell a 36/11 striker to try and fund some of this development, but no-one seems to want him :EDIT: The transfer went through this morning, got some selling to be doing now.

jayseven Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 My result against Edd didn't go my way at all - lost 3-2 (all the goals were headers!!), and picked up another fucking injury. That's 3 in two games. My good keeper's back, my midfielder should be ready for tomorrow's game but my defender's out for the next three games. Rubbish. Form's down everywhere. My players hated losing that match. On the plus side my official team won 4-0. My team had 12 chances, the opposition had none. I rock. ... Just realised there are only two games left of the season in the official league. Promotion looks likely (yay) but I've got two forwards, a keeper and one midfielder that have no chance at all of having full match experience.

Jimbob Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 One of my best players is injured after playing cricket. He's out for 5 days after 3 teeth were knocked out. Damn it!!!. On a plus side, i have purchased a new forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haden Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Rest of Last Tuesdays games! We will make Xpert more famous than Xpert can Noodle Esporte Clube 4-2 Cubic County Noodle scored their first win of the season over a inconsistent County side. County played a very young defense who were exposed quickly as Batistuta hit in a goal off the post after 3 minutes. County hit back with Dale providing young striker Harley with a easy finish to make it 1-1. Both teams scored another couple to make it 2-2 soon after the break, but it was Noodle who were the more creative and Batistuta who was in great form easily broke away from the County defense to make it 3, captain Zakay also found himself able to run past the County back four to make it 4-2. The report was able to learn that County let go young defender Vranken after this performance and gave a stern warning to other defensive players. For Noodle it was a badly needed win which they fully deserved. AFC Rez Rabies 2-1 Edd Kirby Athletic Rabies utterly shocked Athletic when they came out and started with a 4-2-4 formation. Athletic themselves played a 4-3-3 thinking that would be offensive enough! Both teams only created a few chances with their midfields being so lacking in players. The middle of the pitch only had 5 players fighting for the ball most of the time. However Rabies when they did get chances made a great impression, as Gladh fed Wiberg two chances that he converted. The first was a long range shot that Wiberg smashed in and the second was a Gladh through ball that Wiberg attached himself to and scored. Young Athletic striker Mckenna found a way past the Rabies defense at the death to score a consolation and his 1st goal of the season. However it was Rabies who with extreme tactics chalked up their first win of the season. Emo Blades 1-0 Battlestar Odwinica This match was seen by many to be a possible title contenders battle and while not being the most exciting match in the league was a nail biter as the two teams tested each other. The Blades played 4-5-1 hoping to dominate play and this tactic seemed to work well as their midfield produced a solid goal early on, Piechink headed in a cross to make it 1-0. After this the game petered out slightly, both midfields were a good match for each other and both teams are known for their strong defensive displays. In the end the Blades took the points and keep up their ominous looking early run, for Odwinica its another loss but they still look like a team that are gunning for two promotions in two seasons. DuDs Baggies 3-0 Mcoys Sons Another team that is going for a double promotion is the Baggies. Facing the last of the promoted sides the Sons they comprehensively beat them by 3 goals to 0. The Baggies played 3-5-2 to the Sons 4-3-3 but looked much more at ease with their play than a haphazard Sons. The Baggies earned more possession and made 5 chances to the Sons 2. Out of these they scored 3 with one player from each part of the pitch (bar the goalie) putting one in. After this assault the Sons could have given themselves a glimmer of hope at the 59 minute mark as they were awarded a penalty. But Baggies striker Johnston with cat like reflexes pushed the ball over the bar and kept Baggies clean sheet intact. The game turned slightly nasty after this as two Baggies scorers were injured and two Sons players given yellow cards. But the Baggies won't care a great performance promotion worthy. As for the Sons still no victory things are starting to look a tad grim. Analysis Most Important Result: Emo Blades 1-0 Battlestar Odwinica, boring but important result as these two look to be title contenders. Turned on the Style Award: Noodle Esporte Club, 10 chances and 4 goals awesome creative display. Player of the Day: Micael Wiberg, AFC Rez Rabies, him and Gladh share this award really as they both combined to give Rabies sheer offensive power. Recall United 2-1 Complete Domstercool Recall United playing a 5-4-1 formation got a hard fought win against Domstercool in a lively match. United created 11 chances but with only 1 striker they found it hard to convert this into goals. Regardless of this Domstercool were very poor and United had as noted a large amount of chances to strike. They took two of these chances as Streep in one of his best games hit in a half volley to put United ahead. New signing Askey found himself up front alone but he scored his first ever goal when he found himself with the ball in the box and slotted one past the goalie. Domstercool tried to hit back and while floating a ball into the cross in the melee Whiteside scored an unfortunate own goal. However this was to little to late and Recall picked up a solid win as both these teams try to break from the pack. Soap Box Utd 4-1 Martinists Men Utd and the Men took part in a brutal match that saw Utd eventually triumph with a large victory. In the first 28 minutes there were 4 yellow cards and 2 injuries including a horrific one to Utd captain and star player Alfen. Men's player Lambert was also stretchered off just after the 2nd half began, he will also be out of action for a long time. In the end Utd attacked the Men through this chaos with their 3-4-3 formation. Perisjn the Utd striker had a superb game scoring a hat-trick. He broke away from the Men's defense, headed another in and then shot in a sweetly struck goal just before the end of the game. The Men really stood no chance and may rather have had a quieter game if they knew they were going to lose anyway. For Utd promotion really does seem assured with these results things are looking very positive indeed for them. Dudezz 1-2 Eights United Eights United earned their first win of the season against a lacking Dudezz. United playing 4-3-3 had an extra force in their attack as they went after the Dudezz.. While the Dudezz had much more possession they failed to make the most of it. Also their goalkeeper Birchill gave one of the worst performances the report has ever seen. With this in mind it was Sandelin the 18 year old who curled in a direct free kick for his first ever goal to put United in the lead. Stone who has been prolfic for Dudezz this season hit one in a few minutes later to tie it up at 1-1. United's best striker Flatland playing his 1st game for the club hit a belter home that the hopeless Birchill could only stare at as it hit the back of the net. Eights United needed the win to get off the bottom of the table, for Dudezz it comes as a bit of a bump in their promotion campaign. They were not awful but their defense was pretty bad. Made of Win 0-4 Discount Viagra Viagra defeated the managerless Made of Win with an early Flood of goals that saw them 2-0 before half time. With a 4-3-3 formation Viagra seemed to be out for the kill and after the break they were rewarded with two more goals. For a new team their offensive score was very impressive with most of their players playing above their potential. With a shock victory over Shorty, Discount Viagra look to be the dark horse team this season that many bookies are cutting odds on to be promoted. Analysis Most Important Result: Dudezz 1-2 Eights United, United get off the mark and Dudezz lose a chance to make a big impact on the top teams. Turned on the Style Award: Soap Box Utd, 14 chances and 4 goals, quite a scary team to play against. Player of the Day: Miel Persijn, Soap Box Utd, a hat trick marked this veterans 94th appearance for his club, awesome stuff. Obviously everyone (including me!) is sick and tired of late reports. I think I am just going to have to skip a report to catch up. I am seeing family soon so may miss this Tuesdays report. As usual sorry guys! Family, GTP applications, sadly no love life to use as an excuse but I will try my best to keep it all flowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayseven Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I'm up earlier than I thought, so now I'm panicking and re-setting my tactics! Arg! Just seen that deal too -- that's a sickenly good price to pay for a keeper that young and that good. I never get that kind of luck!

Charlie Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Just seen that deal too -- that's a sickenly good price to pay for a keeper that young and that good. I never get that kind of luck! I've only got one ever amazing buy like that. My defender Dahlin was a 20 6 when I bought him for 1.2mil. He's now a 23 8. Good results all around for me. 2nd in the league, 4 points behind the leader and I haven't played any of the newly promoted teams. Played all the best teams and I'm still without a loss.

DuD Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Oddy, I thought 'Fuck right off' when you got your chance a minute before mine at 2-2.

SPAMBOT4000 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Whoop 4-0, sorry Dudezz! That's about all I have to say. Not sure what I'm doing right but I've definitely got my eyes on being promoted at the end of the season now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tales Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Awesome, I was down 1-2 at 70 minutes and then the goal got annulled and I score two more in the next 6 minutes^^ Started with two losses and 0-7, now I got 2 wins and a draw and 7-4 in goal difference.

DuD Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 It was a pretty exciting/nervey match to watch. Definately. When i scored in the first minute i was like 'yeahhhhhhh' then it was disallowed. Then the match started swinging back and forth. I need to start slipping a few more kids into the team now, i didn't field any against you today (although Hulbert got a bit of exp after replacing Elliott). Also nice to see a Mcoy victory.
