Posted February 26, 2010 I'm having a horror season, but you've got to be taking the rough with the smooth Tales. Its not all about getting promoted straight away, if you're struggling now imagine how hard it'll be in a higher division. Work on making sure your team gets the best possible change report. I've somehow managed to start getting points on the board, but my average forms just aren't good enough at the moment because of such a dodgy start to the season. I've also had 2 proper long term injuries help fuck things up even more. I might have to look at selling someone I don't really want to in order to bring in some much needed econs to sort out my shitty form and maybe rescue my change report. Truth be told i'd rather be relegated, than have a shite change report. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 26, 2010 I wasn't very happy after tuesday's result at all. My team hates playing away. Better that I won this one but annoyed at the difference in winning margins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 26, 2010 What's best; a 8-skill keeper with 4 in form or a 4-skill keeper with 16 in form? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 26, 2010 What's best; a 8-skill keeper with 4 in form or a 4-skill keeper with 16 in form? 16 divided by 4 = 4 So its 8+1 vs 4+4 So the 8 skill keeper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 26, 2010 What's best; a 8-skill keeper with 4 in form or a 4-skill keeper with 16 in form? 3 to 4 form bars is roughly equal to one skill point... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 26, 2010 Form train the higher skilled keeper to get him up to 10 form at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 26, 2010 Cube!? Bad result against The Athletic!? I am hurt My place is the top league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 26, 2010 I don't have money to train. I never do on Fridays anymore >_> Hopefully I get to sell the striker soon enough, more money and less players to waste them on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 26, 2010 This game isn't fun anymore. It can be a bitch of a game at times. Looking at your team it seems you have a good structure to it. If I were you I would lower win bonuses forget about promotion and really get that average form up for the change report. 11 average is not good make sure players under 25 especially have a good average form say 13-14 at least.

Posted February 26, 2010 Thanks for the feedback everyone. Haven't used win bonuses in quite a while, maybe that's the problem. The form for those under 25 are decent to very good. My best midfielder still got 18 in average. It's a couple older ones that are worrysome, including the keeper. Anyway, the team should be quite better next season. I just hope I can get the keeper up one bar at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 27, 2010 I think the ranking system is wrong, I'm currently 274 in the whole of the rankings, and 50 out of every English manager. I'm not even that good! P.S Got promoted in my other private league, twice in two seasons, NICE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 1, 2010 (edited) Sorry for lameness lost my weekend to some drunk times and work. So have finally got the lower league report from ages ago just in award form. Have doubles for top league. Will pair other doubles with reports from tommorows games. Martinists Men 2-0 Complete Domstercool Veni Vidi Vici 2-0 Eights United Discount Viagra 3-5 Ten Plus Win Cubic County 1-4 Mcoys Sons Analysis Most Important Result: Cubic County 1-4 Mcoys Sons, the Sons are now surely dead certs to be promoted! Turned on the Style Award: Ten Plus Win, glorious win for Ten Plus Win. Player of the Day: Sota Terada, Ten Plus Win, 4 goals a incredible game for the captain. My name is the NE Report I need me 8 teams We're gonna be dropped into the double header We're gonna be doing one thing and one thing only. Making great matches. The Sixty Fourthers 2-0 AFC Rez Rabies The Sixty Fourthers chalked up a deserved victory in the first of the double matches against Rabies. Rabies played 3-5-2 against the 64s 4-5-1 so it was a midfield battle. The 64s had the edge in the first half with 4 chances to 2. Yaketi broke the deadlock as he headed the 64s ahead just before 70 minutes. Kamal broke away from the Rabies defense just before the end of the game to make it 2-0. It was an interesting match with the 64s seeming to be lacking firepower again. One wonders what would have happened if the Rabies had played 4-4-2 and had a more secure defense. In the end 64s midfield won the battle for possession and they chalked up yet another home win as Rabies are brought back to reality after their mighty victory over Rovers. AFC Rez Rabies 2-0 The Sixty Fourthers Rabies returned the favor to the 64s by beating them 2-0 at home. The 64s switched to 4-4-2 while Rabies kept 3-5-2 as their formation. Rabies had a big midfield advantage, in the first half things were close. However in the 2nd half Rabies began to get a lot of chances. Wiberg hit in a low shot for his 4th goal of the season to put the 64s ahead. Yaketi who was important in the first game was badly injured and limped off as the 64s looked worried. Hilmersson scored a rare goal as Baptista threaded in a ball for the advancing defender. Rabies held any chance of a 64s attack off and ended the game with a crucial 3 points. The two teams are now within a point of each other fighting to avoid the last relegation spot. After this even contest which one will finish ahead of the other. Noodle Esporte Clube 0-2 Secret United Secret United scored a massive win signaling perhaps a changing of fortunes for these two teams. The first half was nervy with both teams testing each other out, however the 2nd half Uniteds star players came to the fore. MacCalman teased Noodles defenders and then lobbed the ball in to a well placed Brusling who smashed in a wonder goal. Noodle had no response ready and looked deflated and not a team who were top of the table a few games ago. United finished the game off as MacCalman delivered another wonderful ball that Noel right footed in to the corner. This was a massive win for Secret United and a real momentum killer for Noodle. Secret United fully deserved the win. Secret United 4-1 Noodle Esporte Clube Secret United completed the double over Noodle with an emphatic home win. Crowley found Helder for his first ever goal for United as he took it past the goalie and slotted it home. Noodle looked better but United were always going to go for the win. Brusling hit a screaming shot in on 62 minutes that ricocheted in off the bar, his 50th goal for United. Batistuta hit in his own long range shot securing his 5th goal of the season and making the game competitive again. However with Noodles goalie having a nightmare of a game United were the easy eventual winners. Crowley curled in a beauty after being set up by Brusling. Two minutes later Brusling found the head of Hoover to make it 4-1. Noodle were simply unable to deal with the star quality of Secret Untied. Noodle after these two games have been in free fall mode and are now 5th in the table. While United's season has been resurrected from being in the relegation zone to now being 2nd! Battlestar Odwinica 0-2 Essex Elites The Elites won a great victory against an Odwinica side that has been difficult to beat at times. The Elites knew this and played 3-4-3 going right after Odwinica and their tough defense. The Elites dominated the start of the game and Marples headed in his 8th goal of the season to make it 1-0. Odwinica got back into the match in the 2nd half and were awarded a penalty as an Elites defender handled the ball in his box. Passoni stepped up to take it hit it right but Hagersten pushed it onto the bar then it was headed behind by an Elites defender. In form midfielder Ling headed a ball in with a couple of minutes to go to seal the win. Odwinica had their chance but missed it, for the Elites this was a great victory they seemed to have turned a corner and look ready to keep on going up the table. Essex Elites 0-1 Battlestar Odwinica Battlestar Odwinica caused a shock gaining their first victory of the season with an away win against the Elites. After the first game Odwinica switched to an ultra defensive 5-3-2 formation. Odwinica dominated chances in the first half but couldn't beat the Elites defense. In the 2nd half the Elites hit back but with a man down and Odwinica's sterling defensive work they couldn't craft any real chances. The game looked like it could be heading to a 0-0 draw until Passooni made up for his penalty miss last game by curling in a beauty of a free kick. The away crowd went wild, Odwinica held out and scored their first win in the league with this great away win. Barring a string of wins Odwinica are still going down but to earn this win is a landmark moment in this club that is only in its 3rd season. The Elites will feel disappointed they could have been 2nd with a win but are now 4th and their position in the league is uncertain. Happenstance FC 1-4 Haden United Happenstance are having a rotten season and things took a turn for the worse as in the first of the doubles games they crashed to a horrific away loss against United. Playing 4-3-3 United went after the jugular early on, Weesle who has been on great form scored the first goal breaking away from the Happenstance defense. Dinsdale set up Agostini for the 2nd before half time at this point the match already looked over. Durov then assisted with two goals, the first a close range shot by Headon then a 2nd for Weesle as he volleyed the ball home from a corner. Burnell headed the ball in to get Happenstance a conciliation but that is all it was. To make things worse star striker Phingphaew was injured before the end of the game, Happenstance star midfielder Kono also got injured in the game. Happenstance looked unequal to the task as United's attacking forces had a field day picking up a crucial win. Haden United 2-0 Happenstance FC This was quite predictable after the first result. United played 4-4-2 this time while Happenstance switched to 4-3-3. Swapping formations didn't change the final result as United with an extra midfield player dominated chances made with 8-2. Again Weesle and Durov were on fine form. Durov scored his 3rd of the season as he hit in a deflected shot before half time. In the 2nd half Weesle secured the win curling in a long range shot his 8th of the season. Happenstance had nothing to offer in return and looked a deflated side. They have now lost their last 5 games and sit bottom in the table after this double. Relegation seems a certainty, as for Haden United after a few bad games they are top and right back in the title mix with Secret United and Roostophe Rovers. Week 1 Analysis Most Important Result: Noodle Esporte Clube 0-2 Secret United, important win turning of the tide in the league? Turned on the Style Award: Haden United, devastating play by a team back in attacking form. Player of the Day: Davy MacCalman, Secret United, 2 assists and superb overall midfield performance. Week 2 Analysis Most Important Result: Essex Elites 0-1 Battlestar Odwinica, Odwinica's first win puts a major spanner in the Elites season. Turned on the Style Award: Secret United, complete the double in fine style. Player of the Day: Noa Brusling, Secret United, the veteran midfielder is still proving to be possibly the best player in the league.

Posted March 2, 2010 Shitforbrains. Forgot to set my tactics 'til about ten past twelve and rushed 'em. SIck of (narrowly) having better possession and more chances and losing. My team just can't play away from home. Hate how an x11 loss can genuinely upset my day! Will have to avoid/ignore the game for a few days. Bah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
