Ticos - SC Bearkat

After last weeks surprising 5-0 upset of the DIV demotee, this week will be a totally different attitude. Lost #1 IM last week to injury so MF will be a lose. PPP w/3 Powerful Defenders in a 4-5-1 with Offensive WB's on the road.

I post in this thread, about 10 seconds before starting my own.

66502087, at the 5th place team, I won 4-2 last week. My TS is lower this week and my best forward and SP taker is suspended. A draw would be nice a win sould be huge.

A win here puts me on 24 points, 11 points clear of third place. Most likely i'll be five points clear of 2nd.

also: $400,000 in ticket sales. (not quite a sellout)

Due to an all-day shower, 19107 paying spectators got to see a match on a pitch-turned-bog at Paris Hilton Stadium. Damn, I am playing 2 powerful players though, maybe I'll get a SE. I'm expecting to win the match without difficulty.

tryin to get a judge of how good my team is in this one with the best 11 fielded, even with a PIC though

lookin for a 10 goal victory against this bot

[romagol10]

Up 1-0 after a penalty.

[NoodlesMacintosh]

4-0 was a funny story: the seemingly nonchalant lob from Drifters's Ng Chi Yu landed at the feet of Köksal Ferda who sent it into the net - goal!

Two weeks ago his randomness almost cost me a goal. Today it got me the first for my newest trainee.

[romagol10]

Ugh 2-2 tie after they scored on a long shot and their only normal chance. And I thought the upgrades I made to my defence would help :rolleyes:.

[Kermmy803]

I take my obligatory injury for the week. Thank you HT. This is beyond ridiculous.

The injury is to my Defensive IM and they promptly score 2 goals down the middle.

[CrewDust]

Down 2-0 at half, only loseing poss at 51%. Maybe a second half comeback, definatly missing my suspended forward.

[NoodlesMacintosh]

4-0, 73% possession on a PIC, only one missed chance. Four goals by four different players. Not a peep out of the away side.

[romagol10]

Halftime score was 2 - 2. Alca held the ball, with a clear 64 percent of possession. pfft.

Now I've got a tough decision to make. Order a big sandwich for dinner or a calzone. hmm.

[Deuteriumoxide]

The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 1. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Heavy, with an impressive 72 percent possession of the ball.


He must have stacked the middle of the park with defenders.

I need to buy a winger.

I'm #3 at home against the #4 who beat me last week 2-0. It's sunny so I figured I'd try something new and play my technical defensive forward trainee. (Usually he plays def mid). And with that in mind I set my team to play creatively so that Francelos can pull the strings.

So far I haven't had any creative events, but I am up 3-1 with 51% possession.

[CrewDust]

Crap, down 3-0, I was expecting more from my team this week.

Down 2-3 to a team that had only scored 1 goal in the first 7 weeks of the season, has 0 points, and is playing a 5-4-1. They're 3/3 on chances while I'm 2/6 and 3 of my chances have been set pieces even though my SP taker only has inad SP. If I lose this match I'm going to break something.

[romagol10]

3-3 brings some relief...

[NoodlesMacintosh]

Wowzers. Number One Son with his second hat trick in two weeks.

Not bad for someone in poor/weak form. :D

[CrewDust]

Down 4-0, my back up forward is 0-3 on his chances.
