Xpert 11 Season 12

[Tales]

That was bad. Had some slight hope before this match to get promoted after all despite a bad midseason. Only got 9 points left to collect and that's only one more than Cubic County so promotion is not going to happen now.

[MadDog]

The middle league is too close, 5 points between the top 7. Havn't got a clue who's going up.

[gaggle64]

Godammit, just one or two away wins and I could be winning this thing.

[jayseven]

I fielded a stupid team to get match experience and sacrificed a shitload of average form, so that change to how match experience works will be good for me next season!

[Haden]

Damn thats a shame I wanted to help Moria out, Villan has it in the bag now barring a disaster.

 

On the plus side form of a few key players is going up I want to sell another player but I'm not being allowed damn you min player limit!

 

Also Cube don't leave!

[DuD]

Well that's my second game in a row where i've let the other team win. My youth are sorted now though, so its full strength again

 

I thought it would be better to let the promotion pack get the points rather than give them to relegation candidates and then find myself relegated instead. If only I had played my youths while my form was shit at the start of the season... I could have been sat on top laughing at this point

[Rowan]

My win has helped blow the title and promotion race wide open in the middle league.

[Charlie]

Not too bad really... 2 chances and scored them both.

 

Shame about a few players suspended. Heinze will be fit for Tuesday though.

[Roostophe]

Huh, my third-ever victory against Haden.

 

Huh, I've got three players out for the next game - one injured (only light, but I'm not going to play him.) and two suspended.

 

Also, I'm officially back in the Xpert Leagues now. Got a brand new team in the Golden League. Just have to wait now for the season to end.

[DuD]

I've just checked out my new division in Major League... Its gonna be a straight relegation

 

My only hope is that people save their reserves to play against me

[Brian Mcoy]

Mcoy will probably be selling up a few players after the change report this season. They will most likley be youth-midage as well so if any of you have realistic offers feel free to let me know in advance.

[Tales]

Currently 7 of 8 in the Final League with two matches left. Form is pretty good though. Lowest average is 11.

 

My team in N-League is like day and night. Two players with 9 in form and two with 10. Looks like my best keeper and my two best strikers might not improve at all for the second season in a row.

[Haden]

 

Silverdale can't stop winning no he won't stop winning. You leave Munchers and Recall down their on their own. You can't lose you can't lose you can't lose anymore.

 

 

 

 

Soap Box Utd 5-0 Jaffa Munchers

 

In a game of two halves Soap Box condemned the Munchers to almost certain relegation doom after a flurry of 2nd half goals. Utd played 3-5-2 and had all the chances but couldn't score in what was a very badly tempered first half. The two promoted teams seemed out to get each other with multiple injuries and yellow cards springing up. Tempers flared again at the hour mark and when the ref saw Munchers defender Beniesh violently push over a Utd player he had no choice but to send him off. The result was devastation as Utd midfielder Bose cut the now 3 man Munchers defense apart. Boase skipped past the defense to slot in the first 2 minutes after the sending off, Persijn then broke away himself and made it 2-0 4 minutes later. Bose swung in a corner for Broerse to shoot in and then lobbed forward a beautiful through ball that Heerkens latched onto and shot in. Finally in injury time Bose smashed in a long shot off the post to make it 5-0. Soap Box fully deserved the win they sit in 5th with 4 games left to play and could still get either promoted or relegated! Munchers though are now almost certainly relegated.

Dysonism F.C 0-2 Silverdale Hotpot

 

Silverdale scored the shock win of the season as they inflicted Dysonism's 3rd loss of the season. Both teams had 3 strikers but Silverdale seemed the more potent force. Caskey scored his first goal of the season and gave Silverdale a huge boost with a direct free kick goal. Star Dysonism midfielder Stenholm got injured on the 17 minute mark and creativity seemed to dry up. Dysonism only had 1 chance in the whole game. Sidwell who has had a really disappointing season finally scored his first goal of the campaign with a great lob when he saw the Dysonism goalie off his line. This was a crucial win for Silverdale they are still in the relegation zone but are 3 points off a promotion spot! This was a slip for Dysonism, they are still favorites to win the title but need to have a good run in now.

 

Madpool 2-0 DuDs Baggies

 

Madpool moved into 2nd by beating the Baggies in a convincing manner at home. Playing 4-4-2 against 4-3-3 Madpool was able to dominate possession (62%) and chances (4-1) but was only able to score via set pieces. Quintal helped set up the first goal with a looping cross from a free kick that Galisteu tapped home. The Baggies were simply unable to recover and are on a slight downward turn after their great resurrection. Quintal scored late via a penalty shot right down the middle to make it 2-0 and wrap things up. Madpool surge up the table leapfrogging Baggies and end up 2 points behind Dysonism with a game in hand, potential champs? Baggies have now lost two on the trot and face an immensely important game against Tin Can Club next.

 

Emo Blades 0-1 Tin Can Club

 

Tin Can Club caused an upset as they narrowly beat the Blades 1-0 away from home. The Blades played 4-5-1 but it was Tin Can Club who got the first big chance as Eggertsson hit in a loose ball scoring on 20 mins. The Blades had chances to hit back but Zeca failed to make an impact looking isolated against 4 Tin Can Club defenders. The match calmed down after the goal and never really picked up and Tin Can Club closed it down without to much more drama. Blades drop to within 1 point of relegation but are still only 2 away from promotion. Tin Can Club move to 4th 1 away from promotion but again only 2 away from relegation! This league is to close! However Tin Can Club do have a game in hand that could be crucial.

Analysis

 

Most Important Result: Dysonism F.C 0-2 Silverdale Hotpot, this league just won't stop being close will it! Apart from two clubs anything could happen to anyone thanks to results like this.

Turned on the Style Award: Soap Box Utd, magnificent victory helps them climb away from danger.

 

Player of the Day: Laksmipathy Bose, Soap Box Utd, the architect of Soap Box's incredible win.

 

 

And if you leave here, you leave the other teams broken. I know County won't be leaving here with Athletic.

 

 

 

Veni Vidi Vici 1-0 Martinists Men

 

An early Vici strike sealed a win for a dominant but frustrated home side. Both teams played 4-4-2 but Vici seemed the more aggressive and found a goal straight away. After 4 minutes the 16 year old midfield dynamo Crick scored his 3rd goal of the season when he lobbed the goalie who was off his line. The game slided into obscurity for the rest of the half after this blistering opening. In the 2nd half both teams had a chance or two but it was Vici fans who expected at least another. Still in the end Vici easily closed out the win with 5 chances to 1. Vici carry on to charge up the table as promotion is nearly guaranteed by default. While the Men hope their form and luck increases as they need to implement changes in the up and coming off season.

 

Complete Domstercool 0-0 Ten Plus Win

 

Domstercool and Ten Plus Win both failed to score any goals as their forwards proved to be not up to it. Ten Plus Win played 5-3-2 against Domstercool's 4-4-2, however it was Ten Plus Win who made 3 chances in the 1st half compared to none for Domstercool. Ten Plus Win defender Ishikawa was badly tackled in the 2nd half and will be out till the end of the month. Both teams had chances in the 2nd half but again the defense of both teams far outweighed their attacking play. Complete Domstercool gain a rare point while Ten Plus Win lose a chance to put pressure on Cubic County.

 

Discount Viagra 1-4 Edd Kirby Athletic

 

Sadly after a great first season Viagra's fortunes have badly waned and there is talk of the manager abandoning his side. He wasn't present for this emphatic loss against a resurgent Athletic. Playing 3-4-3 Viagra were vulnerable to attack and Athletic scored twice in the 1st half. Mortimer headed the ball past the Viagra goalie and Saeys slotted away the ball when he found himself in space in the box to make it 2-0. The captain Hill curled in a free kick in the 2nd half that Huiberts flicked past the goalie to the rapture of the away fans. Saeys headed the ball in for his 2nd goal of the game and season to make it 4-0. Seabury scored with his own header to make it 4-1 but it was all over by this point. Athletic were phenomenal and deserved the win, they had 60% possession and 8 chances to 2. Awesome display Athletic are turning good just at the right part of the season.

Eights United 2-1 Cubic County

Eights United scored a great victory over County to keep themselves in the promotion hunt. Flatland scored a goal with the first shot of the match, a vicious 25 yard shot that pinged into the back of the net. Moments later striker Gould was badly injured and replaced by the legendary County player Ashby who is retiring at the end of the season but came out for his 148th game for County. It was Dunwell not Ashby though who got County back into the game with a long range curling effort. In the 1st half it was 3 chances for United with 1 for County, in the 2nd half it was 4 chances for United none for County. However with youth striker Sandelin looking nervy it seemed it might end 1-1. However hit in a amazing free kick with mere minutes to go for his 2nd goal in his history at the club. What a crucial goal it was, Eights United chalk up the best win of their season so far and County are still having to look over their shoulder.

Analysis

 

Most Important Result: Eights United 2-1 Cubic County, County fail to break from the pack as United pick up a huge win.

Turned on the Style Award: Edd Kirby Athletic, 60% possession and 8 chances with 4 goals great times for Athletic, and away to!

Player of the Day: Baas Huiberts, Edd Kirby Athletic, a goal and an assist in the 17 year old strikers first match!

 

Martinists Men 0-3 Ten Plus Win

 

Ten Plus Win won comfortably after a magnificent aerial display in the 2nd half. The first half was a very close one with both teams attacking back and forth but no break through was made. Ten Plus win with their 3-4-3 formation sprung into life in the 2nd half. Tereda and Hamamoto combined firstly for Tereda to score with a header from a Hamamoto cross and then the other way round moments later. Kurisawa made it 3-0 with 4 minutes left with yes you guessed it another header! Ten Plus Win deserved the victory and move above both the Men (who played quite poorly) and Eights United. They are now 5th in the table and are priming themselves for a tough but rewarding run in against some of the best clubs in the league.

 

Cubic County 6-0 Complete Domstercool

 

County have been surrounded by rumors this weekend of their manager leaving after his long association with the club. However it didn't distract them as they demolished a abysmal Domstercool side. Headers from McKenna, Harley and Valle put County 3-0 up before 35 minutes. McKenna then hit a great through pass for Waller to slide into the back of the net. Domstercool's misery was compounded by a horrid penalty miss just before half time from the captain Richards. Harley broke away in the 2nd half to make it 5 before Waller smacked in a incredible bicycle kick to make it 6-0 to County. Domstercool's youth team simply fell apart, however County were solid in every part of the pitch and a joy to watch. Harley played especially well, County still have to watch themselves and Athletic are chasing that last promotion spot but should be favorites to hold it after a result like this.

Edd Kirby Athletic 4-1 Eights United

 

Athletic all but guaranteed they were the last remaining team that could threaten Cubic Countys promotion spot. Athletic were just on fire today and looked good to win from the start of the game. Athletic had 6 chances to 2 in the 1st half, Mortimer and Mckenna both scored headers for Athletic within a minute of each other. In form Flatland hit in a rebound to make it 2-1 and give United some hope. However a mere minute later Mortimer jinked past two defenders and took it past the goalie for his 7th goal of the season. Athletic had nearly 70% possession in the 1st half and while this went down to 61% by the end of the game. The win was complete when young midfielder Baldry made it 4 with a delicate header in. Athletic are now 4th 5 points behind County but with a game in hand. United drop to 6th and are 7 points off of County and the last promotion spot.

 

Discount Viagra 0-4 Mcoys Sons

 

Mcoys Sons cruised to victory over Viagra to go top on goal difference in the league. The Sons played 4-4-2 and looked perfectly balanced in their approach. Harris and Heckingbottom scored with headers in the 1st half as Viagra crumbled away. Another header was scored when Jbil scored his 7th goal of the season to make it 3-0. At the end of the game it was 6 chances to 1 and Harris scored another goal with a great diving header to make it 4. The Sons got a few youth players some experience and still won. They are well set for a dramatic title race with Vici who knows who will win!

Analysis

 

Most Important Result: Edd Kirby Athletic 4-1 Eights United, Athletic keep the pressure on County while eliminated United from the promotion race.

Turned on the Style Award: Cubic County, immense, what a performance maybe the players are trying to get their manager to stay!

 

Player of the Day: Doryu Hamamoto, Ten Plus Win, great perfromance with a goal and assist.

 

Will do a double top league report next time around

[DuD]

For the second time this season I've shat all over my opponents tactics wise and not got the win.

 

I got his formation, playmaker and offensive strategy... he got nothing and comes away with a point. How the fuck does it come up with this shite

 

I played a 5 man midfield (who all played 8's) with pressure against his 4 man midfield who all played 6's yet he only had one chance less than me and also had more possession...

 

Sometimes i just don't understand this game.

[MadDog]

All his defenders played 7,8,9s and his GK played a 10. Thats probaly why you didn't score more.

 

ANOTHER away loss, 2 of my last 3 games are at home, and i play the bottom 2 teams in the last 2 games, so i'm still in the hunt for promotion.

[Mr_Odwin]

Last minute drama in the RezHaden game meant that I stayed in the relegation zone.

My remaining fixtures are hard. I foresee relegation. This depresses me.

[jayseven]

Sorry I didn't text you the results Haden -- My phone is acting very strange and it's pretty hard to get messages out sometimes

[Roostophe]

Seven points clear now. Just need to win against Ell on Friday and I'm champion.

 

Seven players in the X11. Go me.

[Haden]

Sorry I didn't text you the results Haden -- My phone is acting very strange and it's pretty hard to get messages out sometimes

 

Np

 

Need a win to break the loss streak or I could go down lol!

 

Hope Rovers isn't becoming the new Oddy! Could be though.

[Brian Mcoy]

Mcoy's been a little less active and has been having a bit of a meh end to the season.

[Ellmeister]

So it will be twice in two seasons that a win against me we see you champions early. I lost last year, so I could just say an early congrats :p

 

Finally a win against Sixty4, Mr Gaggle. I was quite pessimistic that his unlucky streak in away games would end against me but alas I was wrong. Thankfully. I'm now have a decent chance of not being relegated! Its still possible, but I'm also up near 2nd and 3rd place like every season I've been in the top league so far!

[ReZourceman]

Crazy. I try and win and lose two games in a row. I then assume I'm going down so field youth teams and do amazing.

[DuD]

I've just had a second transfer 'investigated' for my xpert team

 

It seems i'm paying over the odds for my youth players, but to be fair i'm trying to develop a decent team and the player in question is an 18 / 4 midfielder with training cone, intelligence, tough, cheating and speed special abilities. I'd say he deserves a decent amount to be spent on him..?

[eddsta]

Looks like I may have left it too late to be pushing for promotion, pretty disappointed really. Even if Cube were to draw one game, I'd need to win all mine and turn over the last 3 teams I play at least by around 5 goals, and even that would leave it tight...

 

Need Veni to beat Cube really, although I don't see it happening, a boy can still have dreams! Could be worse, I could be in the middle league, promotion places one minute, relegation zone the next.

[Cube]

Could be worse

 

You could spend a whole season constantly at the bottom of the top league, then again the season after in the middle league.
