22583279 WPEZ - All bots, All the time. Got the regular starters back to league duty after crashing out of the cup last week. Will PIC and should still win by 4 or 5. Can't wait to be back in a real division w/ human opponents.
I am playing first place Atoms at home. He crushed me at the end of last season at my place and is the early front runner this season. He pulled an excellent midfield last week, though I suspect he MOTS'ed that match and PIC'ed his cup match. Not sure if his TS has recovered and I doubt he will MOTS again. It should be close, of course I hope I win. But a loss is more likely. I have a new formid defender so hopefully I'll stop leaking goals!!
After 30 minutes I'm leading 1-0 on the road to the 3rd place team (even though this guy just got his team less than 2 weeks ago and lost his first match 0-8 ). AngerManagement is surprisingly up 2-0 over Bay County, on the road too! Dallas and Real haven't been able to score on Madison or Albito either.
And I'm in the process of losing my third straight league match, I'm down 2-0 in the 31st minute it's starting to get really annoying, if I lose this game, then I am REALLY afraid of demotion into division VI. Of course other then the loss of supporters, it would give me a chance to possible make some changes and make my team better in a possible poor division. Still I don't wanna demote, that would just plain suck, but it's just not looking good at the moment.
My team can not buy anything, my team is playing like crap lately, this is two straight games, including my cup match this week, that my team has been held without an offensive event of any kind for my team. I have a feeling that I am gonna be going down now. This season has just sucked so far. Definitly MOTS next week just to try and get something going for my team.
How is your form? I had a run like this last season and my form was in the crapper. Once it rebounded so did my team. I lost 2-1 today with an 80th minute winner to my opponent. I was leading 1-0, so I'm not very happy. Now in 6th place tied for last with three other teams!
Ended up 4-0 at the end. May have lost one of my guys for 3 weeks. Crap on me and I just canned my doctors.
2-nil and a real test next week against Norge Vikings. Lost one of my mf for 3 weeks, but just made over $90k in sale of two passable im. Hopefully I can hold off some people in a few bids for some more youngsters.
Won 7-0 Lost my #2 forward after picking up 2 yellows. Lost an IM for the next 3 weeks due to injury. His form was on it's way down and he was probably going to be replaced anyways.
Here are my starting 11 form wise inad - 6 passable - 3 excellent - 2 so it is not terrible form, the inad kinda hurt a bit, but it's nothing really bad, my two excellents are two of my best players too. It's just starting to piss me off that I'm playing so crappy this season.
Who's gonna start the real smack for the game this week? Come on seriously you guys need to get some smack going like Mark does, I'm sure he can come up with some generic stuff for the tro of you if you asked him.
Won 2-0 away to go top of Series VI.248. One of my few defenders was injured. Thinking I might invest in another, but don't really have the money to spend. I think I'll end up waiting it out.
Brays got their first division IV win (yay!) beating Whackers fearsome counterattacks 2 - 1 at home. We're now in 4th place in the series, despite -9 goal differential -- if you want to see some crazy stratification, take a look at my series table. There are three perfect records, me with three points, and the other four teams have two or less. One of the bottom lot isn't that bad (Bay Area, 6th with 1 pt and -4 differential) -- I'd put them as about 3rd best in the series. One of the top group isn't that good (Buckeye with +9 differential) -- they opened with me at home, beat Whackers on the road, and then had one of the autopromoters at home this week. Realistically, they're about 4th best in the series and a cut below Bay Area, OC Berserkers, and OrangeVale FC. On the "it can't hurt" front, we went with the Puke Green Socks (tm) for this match. No word on whether Whackers were dazzled or not.
Read my teams press announcements on how I feel about the puke green socks. I did just realize though, I had my second player pop to inad exp. And he is solid leadership. me thinks a future coach in the works.
DKC lost at home 4-0 in front of only 10K fans. I had lost two competitive games in a row but still. This was the first place team who came in. He was the IV demotee, so I'm not too disappointed, but I would have liked to score a goal
I won 5-0. 5 different scorers shared the wealth but I lost my #2 striker to a injury. Still haven't conceded a goal yet.
Lost 4-2 because I accidentally put in my Cup lineup. Oops. At least I managed to PIC the match. Now I've got Paradise on Earth as my team spirit.
I made a game-time decision to bench my #2 striker in favor of my #3 dude, entirely for form reasons. Apparantly chomping at the bit to prove his worth, he went on to score a hattrick in a 4-2 away win against TiMeWaR. The victory pushes PCFC to the top of the II.3 heap, with a 3-0-0 record and 11-3 goal tally. I'm still speechless about the club's progress thus far. I'm not used to winning early on. One has to go back probably 6 seasons since I started 3-0-0 in league play............ Panther City FC II.3 - USA
I won 4-1 at home to a new team that just were given their team a few days back called Lil Bad Boys. I also PICed the match too. I now have won my first 3 league games and sit on top of the table but only by goal difference. I play Neutron next week away and i will probably have to MOTS to have any chance of winning as they get at least 6 stars more than me a match and have better midfield and attack ratings.
I went down 1-0 against last season's #3 team. He got an early goal but it was a close match. His keeper kept his team in the lead with a number of deflections. This team has been my main competition for the last two seasons along with the series favorite. I'm now at #7 with 3 points. A similar start to last season except I had 4 points instead of 3. Lost my best striker due to a red card late in the game. Next up, I play the current #1 team at my house. I should win, but you never know. He's improved his lineup lately and is off to a good start. I hope to fix that for him. Nice start PCFC! And Kuhnscoot, give it some time. Last season PCFC came out of the dumps to rise to #2 I think.
Thanks! And you're correct. The past two seasons I've started off horribly, 0-0-3 and 0-1-2. Both times I was able to battle back and actually have a chance to take the title in Week 14. Lost out both times, though.......finishing 3rd and 2nd. Panther City FC II.3 - USA
