Mrs watching Greatest Showman for about the millionth time atm, will replay afterwards.

Cambridge vs Carlisle must be the worst game so far. My team did do their standard spell of just passing to the keeper with increasingly less control.

Highlight was Kenny Miller coming on and the close up showing that FIFA's Kenny Miller looks less like the reasonably big (in reputation) Scottish player and more like that lad who was concerned with muslamic ray guns

Cheers Hero. Fifa did it’s thing this time of shuffling my team, my striker ended up at cb and dm at rm, lm up top etc. Somehow they still got good ratings! Lost two out of two so no complaints.

One day, we beat you twice in one day, we beat you twice in one day, we beat you twice in one day music

Just gutted that Takefusa Kubo scored twice in the first game and they got expunged from the record Sad

Cracking work on finishing the games Hero - was nice to watch another Carlisle result Hug

by **Hero** Mon Feb 18, 2019 11:46 pm

I scored a goal and I won a game!

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Tue Feb 19, 2019 1:33 am

Banging out two nil-nils in a row. Why won’t my team shoot?!

by **Afro** Mon Feb 25, 2019 2:57 am

Might not be getting much work done today!

by Fluxy Mon Feb 25, 2019 3:13 am

Defending very optional for my backline in that one! Just have to focus on the league for now

by **Afro** Mon Feb 25, 2019 3:18 am

Get Olly Lee heading from the edge of the box more. That was a amazing header!

Hamalainen already a fan favourite after a debut hat-trick to send us to the final Yahoo

by **Afro** Mon Feb 25, 2019 3:58 am

Pastinho has just scored goal of the season for Bam Shocked

It was a volley a la Van Persie/Cahill/van basten

by **Afro** Mon Feb 25, 2019 4:01 am

and then got lucky for his hat trick goal with a crap touch when clean through, only to get the luck of the rebound

by BamBam Mon Feb 25, 2019 4:07 am

What was the score? Jesus that change in tactics has led to 5 goals in two games for Pastinho

by **Afro** Mon Feb 25, 2019 4:09 am

Just finished 4-1. Dons defense was just too high for Pastinho running in behind time and time again.

And Pastinho now top scorer out on his own in the league with 7

Or was it just making the most of no offsides, in the no rules format?

This was the league game v MK Dons, so offsides were back on again

Always pleasing to d1ck the Man City of the Challenge League

by **Hero** Mon Feb 25, 2019 4:38 am

Think connection went during Cheltenham v Carlisle?

by **Hero** Mon Feb 25, 2019 4:41 am

It ended 1-0 to Carlisle, sent Afro screenshots.

I just watched it, it does cut out at 89 minutes.

Just proven that we are two-man team, with Fruchtl the leagues De Gea and Olly Lee can't stop banging in goals Laugh

I give up

Watching it would people say I was unlucky?

Well that went well.

Fernandez pulled clear of Pastinho to 8, think he’d be top of assists too with 6 now but haven’t seen other games!

I would say just keep doing what you are doing for one more week at least....

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon Feb 25, 2019 3:53 pm

Lost that game purely cos my players wont shoot. They excel in finding space in central positions and working it out wide where players are under pressure.

by Azzy Tue Feb 26, 2019 3:21 am

Sorry Hero, I know I still owe you tactics. Will try today - my daughter has a perforated ear drum and the last few days have been hell.

by **Hero** Tue Feb 26, 2019 4:35 am

No worries! Hope she's okay.

by **Hero** Tue Feb 26, 2019 4:36 am

Also waiting on what Trebs wants to do with his tactics as he's fielding ineligible players currently.

by Azzy Tue Feb 26, 2019 6:12 am

I got a migraine now so am going home. Just give me a default loss please.

by **Afro** Tue Feb 26, 2019 6:26 am

I'm happy to wait until whenever

by Trebs Tue Feb 26, 2019 10:42 am

On nights this week but an investigation will be conducted, probably at 4 in the morning.

TAB consider yourself a lucky man. The snow in our match hindered my team and they were not able to play to their full potential.

Fair weather prima donnas. You really are building a team in the Real Madrid mould.

You'll be getting deliberate bookings next

As Sun Tzu once famously said “When the general is weak and without authority; when his orders are not clear and distinct; when there are no fixed duties assigned to officers and men, and the ranks are formed in a slovenly haphazard manner, the result is utter disorganization.”

by **Afro** Mon Mar 04, 2019 12:33 am

Well that was a bad 24 hours!

2 games, two 1-0 defeats and a grand total of one shot on target for me across the two games.

Safe to say that I won't stick with this new formation!!!

by **Afro** Mon Mar 04, 2019 12:37 am

I'll get the week 12 table, results etc updated at some point today Ok!

Should have taken the default win Whistle

Our game showed why I persist with Takefusa Kubo at AM, despite him being only 64-rated. All our play goes through him, he's the only player who doesn't make stupid passes, and he has limitless energy. If I ever met him IRL I'd probably get him to sign my nipples.

Nah, no pride in getting a default win. One minor consolation is that I was better versus you, then we were against Twist!!

Only negative is that I had been itching to try the different formation. Proved it didn't work from the first game, so probably wouldn't have used it against Twist if our game was played last week.

But that's the risk I took! Playing catch-up now, but as Klopp says, who wants to be top in March!

by Fernando Mon Mar 04, 2019 4:44 am

Its been a good weekend Hug

At worst ill be 7pts clear of 2nd which is lovely.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon Mar 04, 2019 5:10 pm

Played with 1 for width, still got players in shooting positions passing it out wide

by Fluxy Tue Mar 05, 2019 1:58 am

Decent game Hero, I was anxious you might nick a late equaliser!

I was livid it got to him but delighted later when he was taken off, looked like the best player.
