Mr_Odwin Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I'd hoped to save up some money for win bonuses, but instead I've blown it all on training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tales Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 (edited) Is these dev values good with 7 matches left? I have focused more on them this season by spending everything I have on training and perhaps at the expense of the team performance. I don't want another 6+ change report. Chawla will be sold/fired and Flatland is retiring. Edited December 24, 2010 by Tales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayseven Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Tales; if you consider that at your current rate you'd double each value, then you can see where some players may need more focus than others. Otherwise I don't think it's a bad one. My players are all 7+, that is with 2 on 7 and most players on 9 or more. I'm treading water sitting just above the relegation zone, but I'm still confident. I've been sending out a mixed team each game rather than what I did last year with focusing on certain players in the first half and ignoring them the next. I'm hoping to get everyone up to 13-15+. This year I'm really noticing the difficulty in the dev value. P.S. AWESOMEWININYOURFACE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haden Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 (edited) Mcoy reporting to central. Everything running smoothly. Over and out rock and roll God bless Xpert. (Checks Hadens team page) Whats going on? Where did he come from why does his kit look like mine? 2 games 2 games 2 games. Battlestar Odwinica 0-0 Haden United United suffered another 0-0 draw as both teams failed to provide much of an attacking spark. Odwinica played a 4-4-2 against a counter attacking 5-3-2 United formation. Odwinicas defense looked amazing with everyone playing beyond what even their fans expect, the 20 year old Delgadillo had a good game fitting in to the best defense in the league well. Odwinica had 3 attacks to only 1 for United, Odwinica played long ball seeking their attackers. But against 5 defenders Odwinicas attack which wasn't on fire at the best of times failed to make an impact. Both teams seemed by the end to have given up on this game in which they canceled each other out. For Odwinica they did well to get a point against the champions while Uniteds gained an away point. Dysonism F.C 2-3 Madpool Madpool pulled off a superb away victory to shock Dysonism F.C in a dramatic game. Dysonism played a 4-4-2 against Madpools usual 4-5-1, everything seemed to be going to plan for Dysonism as Stenholm set up Twigg for a header to make it 1-0 after 13 minutes. However Madpool rocked Dysonism with a goal on either side of the 1st half, first Quintal crossed it in for Hiles to head in then after half time Hiles again escaped his marker and headed in this time a Trainer cross. Both midfields were on magnificent form as Stenholm threaded a perfectly weighted ball for Sandford to knock in to make the score 2-2. Yet again though Madpool were dangerous in the air, Quintal was left in space and Trainer headed in the cross. Despite making 9 chances against 6 for Madpool and having a more impressive attack Dysonism failed to hit back. While they made less chances their midfield seemed more together and was so hard to track down. Both teams defenses played well despite what the scoreline may suggest, for Madpool this was a huge victory a statement that they want to be title contenders again. For Dysonism this may be a costly 3 points lost. Mcoys Sons 3-1 Roostophe Rovers The Sons finally got a victory at home to Rovers after a dreadful start to the season. The Sons played a 3-5-2 against an attacking 4-3-3 Rovers line up. In a cagey first half it seemed the match may end up in a draw, Fitzgerald put the Sons ahead with a close range shot but Mazzoleni smacked a shot in off the post to make it 1-1 just before half time. However in the 2nd half the Sons dominant midfield created 7 chances to 0 for Rovers, Fitzgerald scored first when he jinked past his man and lobbed the goalie, then via a sweetly struck header 2 minutes later. His hat trick was greeted with jubilation and relief by Sons fans, as Rovers overwhelmed midfield capitulated it could have been 5 or 6 goals rather than just 2. For Sons this was vindication for a team that is much better than their place in the league, for Rovers it was a case of wrong formation wrong time. The Sixty Fourthers 1-1 Essex Elites The 64s after a good opening win will be frustrated as they failed to take the sword to fellow promoted side the Elites. The 64s played a 4-4-2 formation against a 4-5-1 midfield heavy style from the Elites. The game held few chances but some poor defending gave the Elites a penalty early in the 1st half that Ling blasted into the center of the net. Hagolahi soon lifted 64s spirits as he curled in a great goal from a free kick to make the scores even. However the rest of the game was a drab affair, both midfields lacked a certain aggressive or creative edge to make a breakthrough. For 64s this is exactly the type of game they need to win to stay up, the Elites may well take this point and be happy. Most Important Result – Dysonism F.C 2-3 Madpool, Madpool halt Dysonism and show they are readying themselves for a title challenge. Turned on Style – Mcoys Sons, chance after chance was made as their midfield was in blistering form. Player of the Day – Lorccán Fitzgerald, Mcoys Sons, after a quiet couple of seasons the striker was on explosive form today. Would like to bring back interviews as part of the report. Anyone in any league who would like to participate PM me I will PM you back questions and put your answers in the next report!

Nikos9 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I can't understand how Intergalactico Stars keep winning with those scorelines over and over again. He's cheating, I'm sure of it. Hey Tales, i'm making my own luck. Just taking into account some good advice from Haden which has proved its worth so far this season! Had a look at you dev val's and mine are about the same. How are the reports/awards coming along this season, not seen any for a while?? Good luck in our game tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tales Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Sorry, got behind schedule a while back and haven't been bothered to pick up again plus I thought no one in the lower league was reading them anyway. I'll see if I can come up with something after tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayseven Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Despite the draw I just wanted to say; that's right bitch, I guessed your formation. I didn't pick the best counter-formation, but I guessed yours nonetheless! Possession/shots went my way. I think not having my freekick specialists on the field made a difference - and ReZ's home advantage would've swayed it. I gotta be glad for 4 pts out of 6 against him.

gaggle64 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Dammit, this is frustrating - my tactics seem to work but my players just aren't good enough. On the plus side though my rookies are developing very nicely, so even if I go down I reckon I'll have a boss next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haden Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 (edited) He was close he was real close. I couldnt see Odwinicas tactics but I could feel them. The Sixty Fourthers 0-1 Battlestar Odwinica The 64s lost out in what was a violent game that they will want to forget. The 64s played a possession orientated 4-5-1 formation against a balanced 4-4-2 from Odwinica. The game was ill tempered as 5 yellow cards and a red were handed out, out of these fouls Howarth took his chance to blast a free kick in and put Odwinica ahead. Yaketi and McImage of the 64s and Odwinica respectively were both badly injured in what was at times a brutal game. While the 64s made 6 chances to 3 for Odwinica, their 1 attacker stood no chance against Odwinicas superb defense. One bad thing for Odwinica was Dinicolantonio being sent off after a silly lunge that further marred this game. For 64s this is another result they needed to get points from, Odwinica will be very pleased with this result but not with their suspensions and injuries from it. Haden United 4-1 Dysonism F.C United beat Dysonism convincingly as Marconossi shined in this exciting game. United played a standard 4-4-2 formation against a midfield heavy 3-5-2 set up for Dysonism. Weesle put Marconossi through on goal almost immediately to put United ahead as he chipped the ball over the goalie. However Dysonism pressure paid off as Spirito slammed home a free kick on the edge of the box to even the scores. Both teams lost key players via injury, Sandford hobbled off before half time and Weesle was badly injured after the restart. With 59% possession United made it pay in a devastating 4 minute period in the 2nd half, firstly substitute Sbaccanti crossed it in for Marconossi to power home with a header. Durov curled in a shot 2 minutes later, before Marconossi made it 4 and completed his hat trick when Durov put him through and he sent the goalie the wrong way. United were on sparkling form, Dysonism looked great but United were just unstoppable today, a great win to put them back on track. Essex Elites 2-0 Bayern Bru Two old rivals resumed their battle as Elites yet again seemed to have the measure of Bru. The Elites riskily played 4-3-3 but Bru also intent on attack played an even more daring 3-4-3. Even with an extra man and Brusling leading them Brus midfield seemed under par and unable to suppress Fakaj who inspired the Elites. After a few chances the Elites went ahead when O Connor hit in a looping header pass a flailing Bru goalie. Elites defense was strong enough to stop any Bru attacks from their youth forwards and it was Fakaj who finished the game off with a volley from a corner. The Elites went wild as they sealed the win over one of their greatest rivals. Bru must hate coming here but will seek his revenge at home and will not want to lose home and away to the Elites like last season. Madpool 2-2 Roostophe Rovers Madpool and Rovers earned a draw in a close match that could have gone either way. Madpool played their usual 4-5-1 against Rovers 3-5-2 formation. This was a very close game with 7 chances created overall 4 of which were converted! Madpools early pressure paid off as they were given a penalty, Quintal found the corner much to the cheer of home fans. However Rovers always looked dangerous, Bond squared it for Mortimer who leapt above defenders and powered it home. With 9 minutes to go and both sides still probing each other, Quintal curled in a corner that Naranjo prodded in. Madpools fans went wild, they seemed to be holding on for a victory, until a ball that hit a Madpool defender looped into the air was somehow headed past the Madpool goalie by Haspolatli. It was a cruel blow but a draw was actually a fair result. For Madpool they will be disappointed but they played well, Rovers will take this draw. Most Important Result – The Sixty Fourthers 0-1 Battlestar Odwinica, great result for Odwinica grinding out a hard win away. Turned on Style – Haden United, were on absolute fire today. Player of the Day – Massimo Marconossi, Haden United, shone with a wonderful hat trick today. Oh and I forgot! Our first interview is today. Todays interview is with Top League manager Madpool. 1. Who has your best feud been with in the league? I wouldn't say i have a feud with anyone, I'd say the best matches i have are with Haden and Mcoy. There's quite a few others that i like playing, like Roostophe Rovers and Essex Elites. Wouldn't say i have any feuds though. 2. Did you develop a 4-5-1 style because of the talent at your club or did you set out to cultivate this formation? It was more to do with me having decent midfielders. I think i started using it in a few matches, and it seemed to work, so i stuck with it. It's getting abit stale now and people can out do me tactically, so i really need to start changing it up, which I've tried doing this season. It hasn't necessarily worked, but in the long run i think it's important I carry on doing so. 3. What does the future hold for Madpool? Hopefully a title in the next few years! I feel we're close to the top, and among the top teams. This season has been disappointing so far, but we still have everything to play for, and with a few wins, it could launch us up in this really tight league. We have good youth coming through, and we're working hard to develop them into top players. I see us as an improving team, and i believe we can only get better.

Tales Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 By best win this season, but my best striker is out for the next four matches of five matches left. It's going to hurt my average a lot too, it has been hard enough as it is. My team rounded 50 million econ today It's a three-way battle for the second and third place in the lower league and it looks like to be a close battle. 1 point difference this round and last round.

Dyson Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 A victory to put me back in the top spot is awesome but at the moment it doesn't mean much given the point difference between 1st and 6th! My next game being against Haden worries me a little bit but if I can win against him I'm certainly in for a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
