Maniacal Misfitz HT Dynasty.... (Episode 2 - The Misfitz Strike Back)
Season 2 Begins!!!!
Howdy Misfitz fans/supporters!!! A new season is getting ready to start and it should be a good one!!! For the few of you who stuck with me for my first season, you know it was a crazy one. Not a single player remains on my team that i started with. Two training programs and 86 transfers later, The Misfitz team is finally set. This season should be much different then last season. Im actually happy with my team and i see no need to change it anytime soon. The only change i see in the near future is a Arena upgrade to around 22-23k seats once i get about 200k in the bank. Im half way there now and hopfully i'll get some decent youth pulls to sell soon. Time for My teams break down........ |
Arena
Arena: Maniacal Misfitz Arena Belongs to: Maniacal Misfitz Country: USA Region : Florida Last improvement: 4/25/2003 Total capacity: 15150 Terraces: 10000 Basic seating: 4000 Seats under roof: 1000 Seats in VIP boxes: 150 Not bad for now, but i sell it out everygame, even in the rain so i need to upgrade it soon. Economy Cash funds: 120 353 US$ (106 327) US$ Sponsors: delirious Supporter Club: 905 members Supporters: delirious This week Revenue--------------------------------Expenses Crowd 1 669---------------------------Arena 9 175 Sponsors 42 450----------------------Wages 23 620 Financial 0------------------------------Interest 0 Temporary 72 150--------------------Temporary 41 500 -------------------------------------------Staff 36 000 -------------------------------------------Youth squad 20 000 Total revenue 116 269 Total expenses 130 295 Expected income/loss -14 026 Money is good right now. I lose about 25k every 2 weeks(if i have 1 home game and 1 away game) if i don't sell any youth pulls. That really isn't to bad. I'd like to break even but that won't happen until i upgrade my stadium some more. |
Da Club
Youth Squad: solid Investment in the Youth squad: 20 000 US$ / week Goaltending Coaches: 2 Assistant Coaches: 8 Sport Psychologists: 1 Spokepersons: 3 Economists: 0 Physiotherapists: 9 Doctors: 5 Im about 8 weeks into my solid youth squad so im expecting to hit Excellent by midseason. I've only ever sold 1 youth pull for a whopping 1k. But i did get a 19 year old passable defender and 18 year old solid winger with weak/poor secondary's. So it hasn't been a total waste. But no where near as good/lucky as teams like The Crawfish and other FOFC'ers pulling passable and solid goalie's every week :( |
Divison Breakdown
Lets take a look at the teams that i'll be facing this year.... 1.Final Fantasy (8320) Country: USA Region: Maryland Arena: White Materia Arena Language: English This is the team that Last years divison champians "Green Mages" beat in they're Promotion match. This is they're 6th HT season. But i think the owner has given up on HT. Im not sure when the last time he logged in was. Its been at least a Month, since his last transaction was selling a player and that happen on 6/19. So hopefully they will be replaced in a couple weeks. He has the best team in the divison right now, putting up a passable midfield and NSI's between 53-60. The bad news is i start of the season vs him at his place. So even if he does get replaced i'll probally still have to play him next week :( 2. Witches (72207) Country: USA Region: Pennsylvania Arena: The Pentacle Language: English The Witches are the only other team in the divison constanly trying to improve his team. He joined FOFC for a couple weeks, but then he left and joined another federation. We still talk sometimes and i hope he does well this season. The Witches have a serious shot at winning the divison if Final Fanatasy gets replaced. Right now his team is a little better then mine because i switched to PM training and i sold all my good midfielders. He curently trains Scoring and runs a 3-4-3. I know he has been having some money problems, so once my midfield training gets going i will probally be to much for him. His scheldule is in his favor. He doesn't have to play Final Fantasy until week 5 so if they are gonna get replaced, it will be before he has to play them. (Lucky Bastard) 3. PoBOXTeam (72202) Country: USA Region: New York City Arena: PoBOXTeam Arena This team was decent last year and finished 4th. But the owner hasn't logged in for about 2 months and they are getting ready to be replaced. 4. Boston Bulldogs (72204) Country: USA Region: Boston Arena: Boston Bulldogs Arena This guy is pissing me off. he started out with the best team i've ever seen anyone start out with. He puts up a weak midfield and a NSI of 48-53 in a standard 4-4-2. He logs in like once every 5-6 weeks right before his team is gonna get replaced. If your not gonna do shit to improve your team stop logging in!! let someone else have it. 5. CristinaFC3 (72206) Country: USA Region: Florida Arena: CristinaFC3 Arena This team had a good offense last year and a terrible defense. The owner wasn't very active. But in the last few day's he's been logging in and buying players. So hopefully he will improve his team and compete this year. 6. Kentucky Pharaos (226324) Country: USA Region: Kentucky Arena: Kentucky Palace A bot team that got auto-promoted from divison VI. It should change owners shortly. 7. Atlanta Huns (223560) Country: USA Region: Atlanta Arena: Atlanta Bowl another bot team. Divison Thoughts So thats my divison. Its toughness will mostly depend on whether or not Final Fantasy logs in or gets replaced. If they do we will have a tough 3-way battle for first. If they don't, it will probally be between me and The Witches. If that happens i predict the Witches to win the divison by a very narrow margin. The way they're schedule is set-up, they can pic a game before they're tough games so that will help alot. If Johnny plays his cards right, he will probally win the divison. But anything can happen with 3 - 4 new owners joining us soon. Should be interesting :) |
Other than being top-heavy, you seem to have a pretty nice series. Good luck, the Sidekicks will be looking forward to seeing you in Div. IV next season!

Player Breakdowns
Time to take a look at the Misfitz Team this year. I have updated all the ages already. The Coach Justin Busby (12507365) 50 years, disastrous form, healthy A passable coach who is fond of attacking A pleasant guy who is balanced and upright. Has inadequate experience and inadequate leadership abilities. He'll work for now Goalie's Marcin Landowski 298 000 US$, 21 years, weak form Has disastrous experience and passable leadership abilities Stamina: weak Keeper: solid Playmaking: disastrous Passing: disastrous Winger: disastrous Defending: disastrous Scoring: wretched Set Pieces: weak Marcin is my starting goalie. He's normally valued at around 366k in passable form which isn't bad for a solid goalie. But for some reason i can never keep a starting goalie in good form. Stanford Weiss 115 000 US$, 21 years, passable form Has disastrous experience and poor leadership abilities Stamina: weak Keeper: inadequate Playmaking: disastrous Passing: disastrous Winger: disastrous Defending: disastrous Scoring: disastrous Set Pieces: wretched Stanford is my back-up that i pulled from my youth squad. Defenders Omar Nairn 105 000 US$, 21 years, inadequate form Has disastrous experience and poor leadership abilities Stamina: solid Keeper: disastrous Playmaking: weak Passing: weak Winger: poor Defending: solid Scoring: weak Set Pieces: inadequate Omar is my starting CD and has about 5 weeks of defending training towards excellent. He puts up 3 stars a game in good form and is my best defender Ismael Ferreira da Silva 68 000 US$, 20 years, passable form Has disastrous experience and weak leadership abilities [Powerful] Stamina: excellent Keeper: disastrous Playmaking: inadequate Passing: poor Winger: poor Defending: passable Scoring: wretched Set Pieces: weak Ismael is pretty much a solid defender. he has 8 weeks of training towards solid and puts up 3 stars a game at wingback playing defensive. Emanuel Miller 93 000 US$, 20 years, passable form Has disastrous experience and weak leadership abilities Stamina: excellent Keeper: disastrous Playmaking: inadequate Passing: wretched Winger: inadequate Defending: passable Scoring: weak Set Pieces: wretched Emanuel is my best ever youth pull. I just pulled him about 2 weeks ago and he puts up 2 1/2 stars a game at wingback. If he was 2 year younger i would have trained him in PM Rikard Larsson 44 000 US$, 18 years, passable form Has disastrous experience and inadequate leadership abilities [Head] Stamina: excellent Keeper: disastrous Playmaking: wretched Passing: weak Winger: wretched Defending: passable Scoring: poor Set Pieces: wretched Rikard was one of my trainee's and has about 4 weeks towards solid defending plus the head skill. He's a good back-up. Dumitru Burghelea 25 000 US$, 18 years, passable form Has disastrous experience and inadequate leadership abilities Stamina: passable Keeper: disastrous Playmaking: poor Passing: wretched Winger: poor Defending: passable Scoring: wretched Set Pieces: inadequate Dumitru is another one of my good back-ups. He usually is in solid or better form and he has about 5 weeks of defensive training towards solid Johan Nilsson 59 000 US$, 18 years, inadequate form Has disastrous experience and weak leadership abilities Stamina: passable Keeper: disastrous Playmaking: wretched Passing: weak Winger: inadequate Defending: passable Scoring: weak Set Pieces: poor Johan was the first trainee i ever bought and he also took the longest to bump to passable. 9 weeks to be exact :( he's a low passable defender and is my last back-up Wingers Andi Neiweiler 165 000 US$, 26 years, passable form Has disastrous experience and passable leadership abilities Stamina: passable Keeper: wretched Playmaking: weak Passing: passable Winger: solid Defending: inadequate Scoring: poor Set Pieces: weak Andi is my star winger. I somehow grabed him for only 94k midway through last season. He's been in inadequate form ever since i bought him and puts up 2 1/2 stars. Im hoping now that he is in passable form i will get 3 stars out of him. Plus since im training PM now im hoping i can get his PM skill to inadequate by seasons end. Benton Minter 46 000 US$, 19 years, passable form Has disastrous experience and inadequate leadership abilities Stamina: solid Keeper: disastrous Playmaking: weak Passing: poor Winger: solid Defending: poor Scoring: wretched Set Pieces: weak I pulled Benton from my youth squad right when my YS hit solid. He's a good 2 1/2 star winger in inadequate - solid form. He starts sometimes and plays back-up other times depending on his form. Dolf de Bevere 68 000 US$, 20 years, solid form Has disastrous experience and weak leadership abilities [Quick] Stamina: passable Keeper: disastrous Playmaking: inadequate Passing: weak Winger: passable Defending: weak Scoring: weak Set Pieces: poor I just bought Dolf like 3 weeks ago for 23k and he's played well so far. Getting 2 1/2 stars every game. I bought him mainly because of his inadequate PM. Hopfully i can get it to passable by the end of the season. Forwards Abel Cano 144 000 US$, 25 years, passable form Has disastrous experience and weak leadership abilities Stamina: inadequate Keeper: wretched Playmaking: inadequate Passing: weak Winger: weak Defending: inadequate Scoring: solid Set Pieces: poor Abel is my number 1 forward and he's always in passable form. He's a key member of the first team. He's actually injuried right now and will probally miss my first league game of the year :( Aron Capotă 109 000 US$, 22 years, poor form Has disastrous experience and poor leadership abilities [Head] Stamina: weak Keeper: disastrous Playmaking: weak Passing: passable Winger: weak Defending: inadequate Scoring: passable Set Pieces: passable Aron is a beast. His head skill gets him a ton of goals up front and his passable set pieces is nice also. But the problem with Aron is that he is usually in bad form and doesn't start very often Istvan Strobl 37 000 US$, 28 years, inadequate form Has weak experience and solid leadership abilities Stamina: passable Keeper: disastrous Playmaking: weak Passing: poor Winger: wretched Defending: weak Scoring: passable Set Pieces: passable Istvan was bought to be my clown. He's sympathetic/solid. I never expected him to start but now that experiance matters he might actually make my starting line-up if he's in good form. Martin Devátý 39 000 US$, 22 years, inadequate form Has wretched experience and inadequate leadership abilities [Powerful] Stamina: passable Keeper: wretched Playmaking: poor Passing: weak Winger: weak Defending: poor Scoring: passable Set Pieces: solid Martin was bought to be my "rainy forward". His powerful skill is nice in the rain. He actually had a 3 star game in the rain in passable form!!! His solid set pieces is very nice also. Midfielder's Jed Neumann 74 000 US$, 20 years, passable form Has disastrous experience and wretched leadership abilities Stamina: excellent Keeper: disastrous Playmaking: passable Passing: wretched Winger: wretched Defending: passable Scoring: weak Set Pieces: poor Jed is probally my number 1 midfielder at the moment. He gets 2 1/2 stars in passable form and he's a good defensive middy. I plan on training him up to at least excellent before i sell him. Josef Eder 134 000 US$, 20 years, inadequate form Has disastrous experience and weak leadership abilities [Powerful] Stamina: passable Keeper: disastrous Playmaking: passable Passing: passable Winger: weak Defending: poor Scoring: poor Set Pieces: wretched I spent a nice chunk of change on Josef (140k) mainly because he is close to poping to solid. Im hoping i can get him to excellent PM by seasons end. Unfortunetly he is injuried right now and will probally miss my first league game. Huey Miller 36 000 US$, 18 years, solid form Has disastrous experience and wretched leadership abilities [Head] Stamina: inadequate Keeper: disastrous Playmaking: passable Passing: poor Winger: wretched Defending: poor Scoring: poor Set Pieces: weak I just bought Huey off fellow FOFC'er BillyMadison last week. He has 4-5 weeks of PM training towards solid into him already. Im also hoping i can get him to Excellent PM by the end of the season. Jakob Noer Mogensen 62 000 US$, 19 years, inadequate form Has disastrous experience and inadequate leadership abilities [Quick] Stamina: passable Keeper: disastrous Playmaking: passable Passing: weak Winger: poor Defending: inadequate Scoring: poor Set Pieces: inadequate I got Jakob for only 27k a few weeks ago. Im not sure how close to poping he is but he will make a good back-up Roy Hoekstra 76 000 US$, 19 years, inadequate form Has disastrous experience and inadequate leadership abilities [Powerful] Stamina: passable Keeper: disastrous Playmaking: passable Passing: weak Winger: passable Defending: weak Scoring: poor Set Pieces: poor Roy will be a back-up/starter this year depending on form. He will also get the nod on "Rainy days" because of his powerful skill. I plan on making him a "winger towards the middle" one day. Viktor Tolstoy 81 000 US$, 19 years, solid form Has disastrous experience and inadequate leadership abilities [Quick] Stamina: passable Keeper: disastrous Playmaking: inadequate Passing: passable Winger: poor Defending: inadequate Scoring: wretched Set Pieces: poor Victor is close to poping to passable PM i think. He's got a high assesed value and good secondary's. He will probally be solid PM by seasons end Joaquim Neiva 50 000 US$, 18 years, passable form Has disastrous experience and weak leadership abilities [Unpredictable] Stamina: solid Keeper: disastrous Playmaking: inadequate Passing: passable Winger: weak Defending: disastrous Scoring: poor Set Pieces: inadequate I somehow got Joaquim for 15k a few weeks ago. I think he still has about 5-6 weeks before he pops but i might get him to solid PM this season. He will probally be on the team for a long,long time. Thats it, as you can see i have 7 midfielder trainee's. One of the back-ups will have to play winger each week in friendly's. But thats ok with me... it shouldn't slow they're training down to much. I think my midfield is my weakest spot right now. Before i decided to switch to PM training my midfield was very good. Getting inadequate at home and weak on the road. But i had to sell them to make room for the trainee's. But by the end of the season i should have a couple Excellent PM's and a few mid to high solid PM's as well. So next season i will have a kick ass midfield. . |
Youth Pull and Economic Update
Youth Pull The First Youth Pull of the season is!!!!!! Another absolute piece of shit :( Deke Thomas (14689122) 17 years, passable form, healthy A sympathetic guy who is balanced and honest. Has disastrous experience and solid leadership abilities. Speciality: Powerful Nationality: USA Assessed value: 4 000 US$ Wage: 500 US$/week Owner: Maniacal Misfitz Warnings: 0 Stamina: weak Goaltending: disastrous Playmaking: poor Passing: wretched Winger: wretched Defending: wretched Scoring: inadequate Set Pieces: weak Economic Update 151 327 US$ (89 144) US$ Sponsors: satisfied Supporter Club: 905 members Supporters: calm This week Revenue-----------------------Expenses Crowd 0-----------------------Arena 9 175 Sponsors 35 700------------Wages 23 208 Financial 0---------------------Interest 0 Temporary 0-------------------Temporary 2 000 -----------------------------------Staff 43 500 -----------------------------------Youth squad 20 000 Total revenue 35 700 Total expenses 97 883 Expected income/loss -62 183 Money is still looking pretty good. I should get around 10-15k from my cup game on wednesday. My sponser money dropped off around 7k due to the reset :( hopfully that will change in a week or two. This Weeks Game There is no league game this week. But there is a cup game and just like everyone else, i get to play a Divison VI bot team. Should be an easy PIC win. Upnext, This weeks Cup Game |
Hey, my YP sucked this week.
Good luck next season, and good luck on the tough first week game! |
Hopefully you will have better youth pulls in the future. Good luck on the season.
;) |
If you didnt notice your pull was a semi clown. Not as great as a full clown, but if you dont already have one on your team and you didnt already fire this guy, he would be good to keep.
-Aes- |
yeah i noticed that. But i already have one and he's better then that guy. I'm to lazy to list him and see if someone bits.

Season 2 - USA Cup - Round 1
Rhode Island Gladiators - vs - Maniacal Misfitz Finally season 2 starts. These 2 weeks have been killer!!! :) Even thought its against a lowly bot team. Its still a important game nevertheless. After 2 weeks of stamina training my form isn't all that great so im not expecting a big NSI rating here. Plus i'll be Pic'ing and im missing my second best midfielder and my number 1 striker!!! So if i get a NSI of 50 or higher i'll be suprised. I also found out more bad news today. Final Fantasy (the team that got regulated from divison IV) logged in today. So they won't be replaced by a bot team anytime soon :( this really pisses me off. Espically since i have to play them on sunday. They're team isn't that great except they're midfield. Which gets passable most the time and solid sometimes. I just can't compete with that yet and i won't be able to until late this season or early next season. So it looks like i'll start off this year with a loss. I'll probally just pic the game and get my TS up. We'll see....... Starters GK - Marcin Landowski Right Wingback - Ismael Ferreira da Silva(Defensive) Central Defender - Omar Nairn Left Wingback - Emanuel Miller (Defensive) Right Winger - Dolf de Bevere (Offensive) Inner Midfeilder 1 - Jed Neumann (Defensive) Inner Midfielder 2 - Viktor Tolstoy (Offensive) Inner Midfielder 3 - Jakob Noer Mogensen Left Winger - Andi Neiweiler (Offensive) Forward 1 - Istvan Strobl Forward 2 - Martin Devátý Marcin my starting goalie is still in weak form. So expect a shitty game out of him. Neither one of my 2 starting forwards are playing. Apol (my number 1 forward) is hurt and Aron (my number 2 forward) is in poor form. so both my back-ups are playing and they are both only in inadequate form :( Players To Watch Andi Neiweiler - Im hoping now that he is in passable form im hoping he will get me 3 stars on the wing. The Match Due to an all-day shower, 4957 paying spectators got to see a match on a pitch-turned-bog at Rhode Island Field. Gladiators started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Martínez - Gubert, Lujan, Cotton, Bollea - Doyle, Allred, Dozier, Branham - Riomayor, Kearns. Maniacal started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Lineup: Landowski - Ferreira da Silv, Nairn, Miller - de Bevere, Neumann, Tolstoy, Noer Mogensen, Neiweiler - Devátý, Strobl. Gladiatorss Edward Lujan got himself booked after a foul. In the 7:th minute the visitors broke through on the right after some poor defending and Istvan Strobl put the ball away for 0 - 1. Viktor Tolstoy received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly, probably out of lack of experience, in the 14:th minute and almost caused an opponent to score. The teams went for a half-time break at 0 - 1. Maniacal held the ball, with a clear 73 percent possession rate. Maniacal´s Jed Neumann received a play slashing through the home side´s defense in the 54:th minute, chipping it past the keeper scoring 0 - 2. The home crowd was not pleased with that one. Gladiators´s Mike Bollea left the field after 56 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was Calvin Koenig. Maniacal´s Istvan Strobl received a play slashing through the home side´s defense in the 59:th minute, chipping it past the keeper scoring 0 - 3. The home crowd was not pleased with that one. Istvan Strobl came close to extending the visitors lead as he, completely unmarked in front of the goal, lifted a ball over Constancio Martínez, hitting the bar. The referee showed Maniacals Omar Nairn the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Maniacal, bringing the final ball possession rate to 82 percent, dominated the battle. The most dominating Gladiators player was without a doubt Soriano Riomayor. Edward Lujan on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Maniacal player was without a doubt Dolf de Bevere. However, Jakob Noer Mogensen made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 3.

I killed them in every category and doubled they're NSI and only won 3-0. I guess the rain had somethign to do with it. Anyway... you can tell my team is struggling. My bad form and missing 2 players really hurt my NSI rating. Its gonna be a tough first couple games this season until my form picks up and my injuried guys are healthy. Luckly noone got hurt this game. The Good Dolf de Bevere - is my only player in solid form and he got player of the game according to the Hattrick engine. The Bad Andi Neiweiler - in passable form he still didn't get 3 stars :( im kind of surprised on this one. maybe the rain played a factor or maybe his disatorous experiance. Either way he still only got 2 1/2 stars and that pisses me off. Upnext, This weeks training update . |
Training Update
This week i trained General after 2 straight weeks of stamina my form is hurting some. But little did i know that only players who play get the training :( So it wasn't as big of a success as i was hoping for. Form 7 players increased in form (5 starters) 5 players decreased in form (2 starters) My starters form is starting to come around. But i still have a few holes. My goalie went back up to inadequate form which will be a big help. Team/Player Value's Value per player (average): 85 591 US$ (+3721) Total squad value: 1 883 000 US$ (same) Average age: 20 (+1) Current form (average): passable Experience (average): disastrous No of players (excluding the coach): 22 (-1) Number of nationalities: 14 Im scared now...... This whole Experiance thing is scaring the hell out of me. The 2 teams left in my divison that almost never login and have practically the same team they started with, just got a whole lot better. I almost fell out of my seat when i saw they're NSI's from the cup game yesterday. Here take a look for yourself........ Boston Bulldogs Player rating and Team formation Midfield: weak - (4) Right Side Defence: formidable - (9) Central Defence: brilliant - (11) Left Side Defence: excellent - (8) Right Side Attack: inadequate - (5) Central Attack: weak - (4) Left Side Attack: inadequate - (5) NSI - 54 This is on the road and his offense is usally better then that. This just blows my mind. The experiance change has increased his NSI rating by about 5-6 points. Heres the other one..... CristinaFC3 Player rating and Team formation Midfield: inadequate - (5) Right Side Defence: inadequate - (5) Central Defence: inadequate - (5) Left Side Defence: weak - (4) Right Side Attack: solid - (7) Central Attack: solid - (7) Left Side Attack: passable - (6) NSI - 49 A good offense and a good midfeild. I just can't believe how good these 2 guys starting teams are/were, Thats incrediable. To get a inadequate midfield, on the road with "basically" the team you started him is amazing. Niether of these teams are pushovers and its pissing me off. I don't know how this season is gonna turn out, but its gonna be alot harder then last year im afraid :( Mainly because my whole team is young and i have no experianced players at all. Upnext, this weeks Youth Pull and economic update |
Ooof...I have a team in my series that seems to have gotten a huge boost from the experience, but that's really rough to have two of 'em.
You'll get through it through, a good training program is still the most important! |
Youth Pull and Economic Update
Youth pull sucked like always. he's been fired. I've had my team for around 17-18 weeks now and i've made 1,000 bucks off my youth squad. Lucky ME!!!!!!!!

I had a 150k 2 weeks ago, now i have 35k and i've haven't bought a single player :( i gotta wait another week for a home game and im not even sure if i'll sell it out since its vs a bot team. I need to get a good youth pull one day. This weeks game This week im gonna lose. Its just that simple. Im missing 2 of my best players, im playing against a former divison IV team and its had his house. So basically im screwed. Im gonna PIC and take my loss and move on. Im hoping to get my TS to POE for my game vs The Witches in weeks 3. I'll pic this game, my next cup game, my league game after that since its vs a bot team and then the cup game after that. So i should at the least have delirous TS when i play him. Im not sure if i'll MOTS that game or not. We'll see..... Upnext, This weeks League Game |
Season 2 - League Game - Round 1
Final Fantasy - vs - Maniacal Misfitz Season 2 starts today!!!! :) Thats the good news.... the bad news is im playing against a much better team and im missing 2 of my best players. The only way for a win or a tie here today would be if they got a couple red cards. His team really isn't all that great considering he's starting his 5th season in HT. But his midfield is very nice. Getting solid at home and passable on the road. Starters Gk - Marcin Landowski Right Wingback - Ismael Ferreira da Silva (defensive) Central Defender - Omar Nairn Left Wingback - Emanuel Miller (defensive) Right Winger - Dolf de Bevere (offensive) Inner Midfielder 1 - Jed Neumann (defensive) Inner Midfielder 2 - Viktor Tolstoy (offensive) Inner Midfielder 3 - Huey Miller Left Winger - Andi Neiweiler Forward 1 - Martin Devátý Forward 2 - Istvan Strobl My forwards are my week spot today. My best forward Abel is injuried and my second best forward Aron is in crap form like always. This is a concern but i'll probally have Abel back for next weeks game. One day im hoping Aron will actually get above weak form so i can start him again. His "head" skill is oh so nice. Anyway, besides those 2 and my injuried midfielder everything else is normal for my starters. Players to Watch Dolf de Bevere - My number 2 winger just hit excellent form so im expecting a good game out of him. Marcin Landowski - my goalie finally improved to inadequate form. Im hoping for 3 stars out of him today. But he'll probally only get 2 1/2. The Match 36053 spectators had come to White Materia Arena this cloudy day. Fantasy had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. They fielded: Martin - Jonasson, Joseph, Klintsjö - Vasquez, Toth, Pace, Gee, Iglesia - Singer, Littlefield. Maniacal tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Lineup: Landowski - Ferreira da Silv, Nairn, Miller - de Bevere, Neumann, Tolstoy, Miller, Neiweiler - Devátý, Strobl. Emanuel Miller behaved like an inexperienced youth player in the 3rd minute as he gave the ball away to an opponent. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. Eugene Singer gave his Fantasy the lead with 1 - 0, as he successfully challenged both the guests central defenders, then placed the ball unreachably at the goaltenders right post. Rich Littlefield increased Fantasys lead to 2 - 0 by putting a header away on a hooked ball from the right. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, Fantasy´s Dalton Toth got himself booked. Halftime score was 2 - 0. Fantasy held the ball, with a clear 70 percent possession rate. An indirect free kick in the visitor´s penalty area in the 83rd minute could have resulted in another goal, but Marcin Landowski got a hand out and tipped the ball over the bar. A speedy charge from the left side of the field put Fantasy lead up with 3 - 0. Darrell Pace finished that one off competently, firing from an acute angle. Fantasy held the ball, with a clear 64 percent possession rate. The most dominating Fantasy player was without a doubt Dalton Toth. Rich Littlefield on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Maniacal player was without a doubt Ismael Ferreira da Silva. Huey Miller on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 3 - 0.

Im not to mad, it could have been worse actually. Missing my 2 forwards is hurting my attack badly. If i had Abel and Aron both in passable form, my attack would be excellent/solid/excellent. I had a couple of surprises in this game. Jed Neumann got my first ever 3 star performance as a midfielder and Dolf de Bevere got my first first 3 star performance on wing. Jed getting 3 stars is a big surprise. He's only a passable PM in solid form. He's got passable defending and i play him defensive. My 2 solid PM's that i used to have, never got 3 stars in solid form. So im hoping he is close to poping to solid PM. And Dolf getting 3 stars is kind of a surprise also. He is in Excellent form, but he's only a passable winger with weak passing and inadequate PM. The Good Dolf de Bevere - 3 stars in excellent form. My first 3 stars performance by a winger. Jed Neumann - 3 stars in solid form. My first ever 3 star performance by a midfielder. The Bad Both My forwards - they both only got 2 stars and only a passable central attack rating. But what should i expect from 2 back-up forwards. Around The League Witches - vs - PoBOXTeam 4 - 5 dam, POBOXteam is about to be replaced by another owner and they somehow beat The Witches. But i think the Witches pic'ed and played some back-ups because they have a tough cup game this week. Tough break for Johnny :( Boston Bulldogs - vs - CristinaFC3 2 - 1 This game could have went either way. A very good defensve team (The Bulldogs) vs a good offensive team (CristinaFC3). The Bulldogs just barley pulled it out, probally due to the home field advantage. Kentucky Pharaos - vs - Atlanta Huns 3 - 0 Battle of the bot teams!! The who cares game of the week in my divison. I play Kentucky next week and it should be a nice and easy PIC win. League Standings The league standings are down right now. I'll put it here when they are fixed. Upnext, This weeks cup game . |
More Bad News
i guess it good and bad news. The Witches youth pull this week is none other then a 17 year old solid pm........ Darryl Johnson (14892823) 17 years, passable form, healthy A sympathetic guy who is calm and dishonest. Has disastrous experience and inadequate leadership abilities. Speciality: Unpredictable Nationality: USA Assessed value: 72 000 US$ Wage: 840 US$/week Owner: Witches Warnings: 0 Stamina: weak Goaltending: disastrous Playmaking: solid Passing: poor Winger: poor Defending: weak Scoring: inadequate Set Pieces: poor Current bid is at 267k but im sure it will go higher. Im happy for johnny, but he's already bought a 30 year old middy with good experiance capable of getting 3 1/2 stars. So my chances of beating him are slowly deminishing. He's been pretty lucky in youth pulls in his HT career. Now i guess the question is, will the Misfitz ever get lucky with a youth pull???? |
Quick Update
The Witches midfielder sold for $1,000,000 dollars. He's been buying up midfielders and defenders like crazy (he trains forwards). So basically, my chance of beating him just got a whole lot smaller. Amazing what 1 youth pull can do for a team. |

Season 2 - Cup Game - Round 2
Arizona Eagles - vs - Maniacal Misfitz Cup game number 2 this season!!!! And it should be an easy one. Lucky for me i've drawn another bot team. I won't be so lucky next week probally. Im Pic'ing this game of course. So far i've PIC'ed all 3 games this season and it won't stop yet. I'll be pic'ing my league game on sunday also since it's vs a BOT team. I should reach "Paradise On Earth" TS after this game for the first time in club history..... yippe!!! :) Starters GK - Stanford Weiss Right Wingback - Johan Nilsson (Offensive) Central Defender - Rikard Larsson Left Wingback - Dumitru Burghelea (Defensive) Right Winger - Benton Minter (offensive) Inner Midfielder 1 - Jakob Noer Mogensen Inner Midfielder 2 - Huey Miller (Offensive) Inner Midfielder 3 - Roy Hoekstra Left Winger - Joaquim Neiva (Offensive) Forward 1 - Aron Capotă Forward 2 - Istvan Strobl I've got all my back-ups in today for the first time in a long time. Alot of them arn't in the best of form, due to lack of playing and stamina training in the offseason. Im playing my right wingback offensive and my right winger offensive so i should generate most of my offense from the right. Nothing else really to add, this is a pretty straight forward game vs a Bot team. Nice and Easy :) The Match A scorching day at Arizona Emporium, where 7000 spectators were in place for today´s match. Arizona tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. Lineup: Rivas - Powell, Braswell, Williams, Mcmanus - Royal, Wei-Ming, Martinez, Agarwal - Castillo, Gillespie. Maniacal started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Lineup: Weiss - Nilsson, Larsson, Burghelea - Minter, Hoekstra, Miller, Noer Mogensen, Neiva - Capotă, Strobl. After 5 minutes Maniacals Johan Nilsson made his way through the middle, putting the visitors up 0 - 1. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, Maniacal´s Rikard Larsson got himself booked. After 9 minutes of game time Jakob Noer Mogensen received an excellent opportunity to add to the visitors lead, clipping a volley hooked in from the right, but Theodore Rivas was in the right place, tipping the ball to a corner. In the 29:th minute the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 2 as Jakob Noer Mogensen finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. After this Maniacal lowered the tempo in order to concentrate on their defensive efforts. The game had been on for 31 minutes when Jakob Noer Mogensen broke through to the right, upping the score to the home crowd´s dismay. Maniacal´s were up 0 - 3. Maniacal came close to extending their lead as Benton Minter delivered a long range shot from the right but the angle was to sharp, and the shot hit the side of the goal. Halftime score was 0 - 3. The fortyfive minutes were dominated by Maniacal, with an impressive 65 percent possession of the ball. Maniacal´s Huey Miller received a play slashing through the home side´s defense in the 62nd minute, chipping it past the keeper scoring 0 - 4. The home crowd was not pleased with that one. Arizona´s Li Wei-Ming got the home crowd going when he finished off a left wing charge putting the away teams lead down to 1 - 4. The referee showed Maniacals Istvan Strobl the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Due to a severely mistimed tackle,Theodore Rivas spent some on the grass writhing in agony before he could get up and continue the game. Maniacal came close to extending their lead as Johan Nilsson delivered a long range shot from the right but the angle was to sharp, and the shot hit the side of the goal. In the to 83rd minute a very unfortunate collision in the home teams penalty area led to Arizona´s Vernon Braswell being carried off the pitch and replaced by Lorenzo Goodman. The fortyfive minutes were dominated by Maniacal, with an impressive 71 percent possession of the ball. Arizona´s best player was Louis Royal. Theodore Rivas on the other hand, had a terrible day. Maniacal´s best player was Dumitru Burghelea. Roy Hoekstra was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 4.

Pretty much everything went according to plan. Expect the fact that i only scored 1 goal from the right side even though i had a solid VS a weak match-up. But who cares, i won and it could have been worse. I did miss 3 scoring chances. My guys did they're typical, "midfielders score most of the goals" thing again. I swear, i don't even know why i play any forwards. My midfielders and defenders score all my goals ;) Im a little surprised i got a "poor" midfield rating since my back-up middy's are in bad form, i pic'ed and i was on the road. But i guess thats the effect good TS has on a team. The Good Jakob Noer Mogensen - While only getting 2 stars because of bad form, he still scored 2 goals and the opposing goalie robbed him of another. The Bad Roy Hoekstra - his weak form and playing him in the extra middy spot, hurt his play big time and he only got 1 1/2 stars. Upnext, This weeks Training Update . |

True that. You and I are due for a 17 year old solid. Hopefully it will come this week. I could sure use a $1mil. |
Training Update
My first week of the season training Playmaking was a successful one to say the least. 2 players bumped to Solid PM. Josef Eder 129 000 US$, 20 years, inadequate form Has disastrous experience and weak leadership abilities [Powerful] Stamina: passable Keeper: disastrous Playmaking: solid Passing: passable Winger: weak Defending: poor Scoring: poor Set Pieces: wretched i bought Josef late last season for like 145k because i knew he was really, really close to poping to Solid PM. It looks like i was right. He will be a high Excellent PM by seasons end. Huey Miller 35 000 US$, 18 years, inadequate form Has disastrous experience and wretched leadership abilities [Head] Stamina: inadequate Keeper: disastrous Playmaking: solid Passing: poor Winger: wretched Defending: poor Scoring: poor Set Pieces: weak I bought Huey for like 35k from FOFC'er favorite "BillyMadison" when he sold his team and started a new team. So after just 1 week of training he bumps to Solid PM. WOOT! :) Form It just wouldn't be a Misfitz update without some bad news. And that bad news is....... i had my worst form week of all time this week. 1 player increased in form (1 starter) 8 players decreased in form (4 starters) OUCH!!!! this hurts alot. I have a easy League game this week vs a bot team so i can pic and play my back-ups. But my cup game is gonna be a tough one vs a really really good divison V team. I needed good form and i didn't get it. At least i'll have POE Team Spirit when i play that cup game. Player/Team Value Value per player (average): 88 286 US$ (2,695) Total squad value: 1 854 000 US$ (-29,000) Average age: 20 Current form (average): inadequate (down from passable) Experience (average): disastrous No of players (excluding the coach): 21 (- 1) Number of nationalities: 14 Upnext, This weeks youth pull and economic update |
Your having some tough luck this season. I figured I would tell you I sold my most recent pull for around 260k or so and a 18 year old for 200k or so. ;)

I think im gonna upgrade my stadium soon. It will put me in the hole some but it will pay for itself. Espically if i win my cup game this week. Which i'm hoping i will. League Game This Week This week i get to play a bot team at home. Should be a nice easy win so i will be PIC'ing and playing my back-ups so i can play my starters in my cup game. My back-ups form is really really bad at the moment but they still should have no problem whipping up on a bot team. This Weeks Cup Game I actually have a chance to advance to the forth round in the cup. Which would be really nice since i would get an extra PIC and an extra 50k. The Team i play is no pushover. They have one hell of a defense and a very good offense. But they run a straight 4-4-2 and only have 2 midfielders. So they're midfield rating is only wretched. Blu and Yello Player rating and Team formation Midfield: wretched - (2) Right Side Defence: excellent - (8) Central Defence: brilliant - (11) Left Side Defence: formidable - (9) Right Side Attack: excellent - (8) Central Attack: passable - (6) Left Side Attack: solid - (7) NSI - 55 The good news is his right side defender is out and his back-up only puts up 1 star a game. So maybe i can get a goal or 2 from the side. Im seriously considering bringing a "ringer" forward just for this game then selling him when its over because my 2 starting forwards are in weak form :( With POE TS and being at home i'll probally get a inadequate midfield rating. So hopefully with 3 levels above his midfield rating i should dominate possession my alot and win the game 1-0 or 2-0. Should be a good game.... Upnext, This weeks league game |
Season 2 - League Game - Round 2
Maniacal Misfitz - vs - Kentucky Pharaos The Misfitz B-team get to do some Bot Bashing today!! This is the last Bot team i get to play for awhile so i better make it count today!! This will also be my 4th straight PIC game. My TS is at delirious right now (just dropped from POE yesterday). But with today's PIC, it should still be at POE for my very important/very tough cup game on wednesday. Starters GK - Stanford Weiss Right Wingback - Emanuel Miller (Offensive) Central Defender - Rikard Larsson Left Wingback - Dumitru Burghelea (Defensive) Right Winger - Andi Neiweiler (Offensive) Inner Midfielder 1 - Joaquim Neiva (Offensive) Inner Midfielder 2 - Viktor Tolstoy (Offensive) Inner Midfielder 3 - Roy Hoekstra Left Winger - Benton Minter (Offensive) Forward 1 - Istvan Strobl Forward 2 - Aron Capotă I have a couple starters playing today. Andi Neiweiler is my best winger (stat wise) but since his form is only at inadequate and im only playing 1 true winger on wednesday (and 1 towards the middle). He gets the start today. Emanuel Miller is normally a starter but since i sold a back-up wingback, i now only have 5 defenders so 1 starter will have to play with the b-team each week. Players to watch Istvan Strobl - Istvan was bought to be my clown at the end of last season. But since the experiance increase(he has weak experiance) and now that he is in passable form. He might just earn starting spot if he can get 2 1/2 stars in passable form. Roy Hoekstra - Roys form is totally in the crapper(poor). Plus im playing him as the extra inner middy so its possible that he will only get 1 star. Lets hope he gets 1 1/2. The Match 12544 spectators had come to Maniacal Misfitz Arena this cloudy day. Maniacal started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Lineup: Weiss - Miller, Larsson, Burghelea - Neiweiler, Hoekstra, Tolstoy, Neiva, Minter - Capotă, Strobl. Kentucky started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. Lineup: Waddell - Mcmahan, Castellanos, Jordan, Torres - Brady, Hyman, Davis, Pitts - Easley, Miller. The 11th minute saw the home team take a 1 - 0 lead after a leak in the visitors right side defense. Scorer for Maniacal was Viktor Tolstoy. Maniacal's Aron Capotă scored 2 - 0 by shooting accurately and hard from a long distance, leaving the opponent goalie no other option than to pick up the ball from the net. Maniacal put themselves up 3 - 0 when Istvan Strobl broke through on the right, leaving the entire defensive box behind him. Mark Jordan of Kentucky received a yellow card in the 38:th minute for unsportsmanlike behaviour. In the game's 38:th minute Maniacal´s Aron Capotă limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. The teams went for a half-time break at 3 - 0. The fortyfive minutes were dominated by Maniacal, with an impressive 73 percent possession of the ball. Maniacal put themselves up 4 - 0 when Aron Capotă broke through on the right, leaving the entire defensive box behind him. By now Maniacal were drawing the troops back in order to defend their lead. In 58:th minute of game time Kentucky´s Mark Jordan received his second yellow card and was sent off. In the games 61st minute Kentucky replied, reducing the lead to 4 - 1. Paul Miller scored on a marvellous cross pass coming in from the left. A bit later, a magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Maniacal´s Dumitru Burghelea putting the lead up to 5 - 1. Maniacal, bringing the final ball possession rate to 80 percent, dominated the battle. The most dominating Maniacal player was without a doubt Andi Neiweiler. Roy Hoekstra on the other hand, had a terrible day. Kentucky´s best player was Garrett Waddell. However, Mauricio Davis made a disastrous appearance.

Easy win and no serious injuries. Just what i was hoping for. Plus my forwards actually scored 3 of the 5 goals!! thats rare for me, my forwards never score :) My TS is now POE and my team confidence is Wonderful. Wednesday's game should be good. My starters aren't in the best of form, but i still should get a inadequate midfield at least. Maybe even passable since i won't be PIC'ing. The Good Right Side Attack - Playing my right wingback offensive lead to a nice "excellent" rating on my right side attack. Istvan Strobl - Put up 2 1/2 stars in passable form and earned himself the starting forward job. The Midfield - Getting a weak midfield rating with 2 inadequate middy's and a passable middy in poor form isn't bad at all. I love having great Team Spirit. The Bad Roy Hoekstra - his poor form lead to only 1 1/2 stars. Around The League CristinaFC3 - vs - Final Fantasy 2 - 5 Final Fantasy had no problem crushing Cristina FC3 as expected. The only team that has a shot at beating Final Fantasy anytime soon is The Witches at home. But that is a few weeks away. Atlanta Huns - vs - Witches 0 - 5 The Witches got to beat up on the other bot team today with an easy 5-0 win. It looks they played mostly back-ups. I play the witches next week at they're house. If i win my cup game on wednesday i'll probally play them normal. If i lose my cup game i'll probally PIC them. Its gonna be a tough game, im not sure how im going to approach it yet. PoBOXTeam - vs - Boston Bulldogs 0 - 5 I firgure The Bulldogs would win this game, but not by such a big margin. The Midfields were almost exactly the same. But the Bulldogs awsome defense held POBOXteam scoreless and somehow they're inadequate/weak/inadequate offense scored 5 goals.

Arena Upgrade
i decided to upgrade my arena to 23,000 seats. It cost me 212k and im now 117k in the hole. But i should get 50k for my cup game on wednesday. plus i think/i hope im gonna win my cup game, so i'll have 1 more cup game at home to make a little more cash. Unfortunetly i think i might have fucked up. Its says my arena will be done upgrading on 8/14 and that is the same day as my cup game. So im not sure if it means it will be done right when 8/14 hits or when the updates occur on 8/14 :( I guess we'll have to wait and see. I could have sworn my last arena upgrade only took 8 days to finish. |
It depends on the size of the upgrade. I just did one that said would take 9 days and it ended up taking 10. So maybe it can go the other way too, but both mine ended up taking longer than what it said.

Season 2 - Cup Game - Round 3
Maniacal Misfitz - vs - Blu and Yello Today is a very big game for the Misfitz. I need this win so i can have another home cup game. Since i upgraded my stadium i need the extra money. Blu and Yello is very good offensive and defensive team with a bad midfield. So if i dominate possession like i should, i should win. But nothing is set in stone. I've seen quite a few teams win this year with a not so good midfield rating. But im confident in my guys, even though alot of them are in shitty form. Starters GK - Marcin Landowski Right Wingback - Ismael Ferreira da Silva (Defensive) Central Defender - Omar Nairn Left Wingback - Emanuel Miller (Defensive) Right Winger - Jakob Noer Mogensen (Towards The Middle) Inner Midfielder 1 - Jed Neumann (Defensive) Inner Midfielder 2 - Josef Eder (Offensive) Inner Midfielder 3 - Huey Miller Left Winger - Dolf de Bevere (Offensive) Forward 1 - Abel Cano Forward 2 - Istvan Strobl As you can see im playing a winger towards the middle. I wanna do everything i can to win possession by alot! I don't wanna give his offense a chance to score on me. My Midfielders form isn't very great passable/inadequate/inadequate, plus the winger towards the middle is also in inadequate form. PLUS! my number 1 forward is in weak form and my number 1 defender is in inadequate form and my goalie is in inadequate form!!!!!!!AHHHH!!!!! Ok.... enough complaining about form :) Blu and Yello's right wingback is hurt so i'll be attacking that side like a mofo with my best winger. Players To Watch Dolf de Bevere - while most of my team is in bad form, Dolf is in Excellent form and kicking ass. Expect a strong left side attack. Abel Cano - his first game back from injury and he's in weak form. I seriouly doubt he'll get 2 1/2 stars like usual. This guy has always had passable form since i got him, so im hoping he bounces back quickly. The Match 15150 spectators arrived at Maniacal Misfitz Arena, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Maniacal tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. They fielded: Landowski - Ferreira da Silv, Nairn, Miller - Noer Mogensen, Neumann, Miller, Eder, de Bevere - Cano, Strobl. Yello had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. They fielded: Linsten - Biggs, Chun-Yap, Koch, Hĺkansson - Kernstock, Odenstedt, Quintanilla, Carré - Sjöell, Gallardo. In the 2nd minute an unfortunate play by Marcin Landowski gave the visitors a chance at the lead, but Per Sjöell, finding himself alone with the keeper, was unable to take advantage of the situation. In the 10:th minute cheers broke out as Jed Neumann found his way through the guests central defense line, clipping the 1 - 0 goal in for Maniacal. After 26 minutes, Dolf de Bevere swiftly ran past Denis Biggs to put away the 2-0 goal. Yellos Branko Kernstock got himself booked after a foul. In the 28:th minute of the match the visitors central line of defence had to look on as Jakob Noer Mogensen dashed through, knocking home 3 - 0 for Maniacal. The teams went for a half-time break at 3 - 0. Maniacal held the ball, with a clear 77 percent possession rate. A bit later, a magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Maniacal´s Jakob Noer Mogensen putting the lead up to 4 - 0. By now Maniacal were drawing the troops back in order to defend their lead. Dolf de Bevere´s speed was made justice as he darted past his marker and struck an opening pass to Abel Cano who scored the 5-0 goal. Maniacal put their lead ahead another goal as Istvan Strobl struck home the 6 - 0 goal, after an attack from the left setting him up unmarked with the keeper. In the 62nd minute Maniacal put themselves up 7 - 0. The visitors defenders lost the ball to Dolf de Bevere coming up from the left, who proceeded to cooly round the goaltender and knock the ball home. In the game's 69:th minute Yello´s Per Sjöell limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. Maniacal put their lead ahead another goal as Jed Neumann struck home the 8 - 0 goal, after an attack from the left setting him up unmarked with the keeper. The referee showed Yellos Stefan Hĺkansson the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Maniacal held the ball, with a clear 83 percent possession rate. Most important Maniacal player was Ismael Ferreira da Silva. However, Jakob Noer Mogensen made a disastrous appearance. Most important Yello player was Man Koch. Denis Biggs was a disappointment, however. The match ends 8 - 0.

I played one hell of a game. 57 NSI is my best ever and my teams form is in the crapper! But im mad because i didn't pic. I could have still easily won with a pic. I probally still would have gotten a passable midfield because the passable i got here was a VERY high passable. According to "my stats" this weeks passable midfield was 8% higher then my last passable midfield. So if my stamina was a little better i would have gotten a solid midfield this week. I just overestimated this team. His defense and offense are good. But midfield is still king in HT and his midfield blows. anyway, my Winger Dolf had the game of his short career! 2 goals and an assist. His "quick" skill accounted for 1 of the goals and the assist. I killed him on that side of the field just like i thought i would. Everyone else played as expected. Of course out of my 8 goals only 2 were scored by forwards :) Typical Misfitz soccer. The Good Dolf de Bevere - played like a possessed beast! 2 goals and an assist. 5 of the 8 goals were from his side. Ismael Ferreira da Silva - got another 3 stars at right wingback and held they're number 1 winger scoreless. The Bad none really Next weeks cup game I've drawn a decent divison IV team next week. This is his last cup game......

He gets a inadequate midfield at home and weak on the road. My starters could possibly beat this guy if things went my way. I could PIC my league game on sunday and get about the same ratings i got today vs him. Im not gonna get to deep into it yet. I've got alot of thinking to do. Im not sure whats more important to me, league or cup. The problem i face is that my league game on sunday is a tough one against probally the best team in my divison right now at his house. So i'll probally lose anyway but i still could possibly win. I could PIC him and play my back-ups and play my cup game normal and hope for the win. We'll see what tommarrow's training update brings us. Upnext, This Weeks Training update |
Yeah, Blu and Yellow's midfield wasn't all that great, was it.

Training Update
No PM bumps this week :( Form I was hoping for a really great form week since the last 4+ have been so bad. But i didn't get it. 3 players increased in form (2 starters) 2 players decreased in form (2 starters) well, my best forward is now down to poor form and my second best forward is at weak form. So basically my offense is screwed right now. Plus, all 3 of my starting midfielders are now at inadequate form. So that isn't good either :( Im still pulling in decent NSI ratings with my bad form, but my guys could be playing so much better. Theres always next week :( Player/Team Vale Value per player (average): 89 857 US$ (+1,571) Total squad value: 1 887 000 US$ (+33,000) Average age: 20 Current form (average): inadequate Experience (average): disastrous No of players (excluding the coach): 21 Number of nationalities: 14 Upnext, This weeks crappy youth pull and Economic update |

I am guessing you will pull a 17 year old excellent passer/set peices with wretched everything else except stamina. That can be poor. And I bet you will still bitch even though you got a double excellent 17 year old! Some people will never be happy. ;) |

I'll pretty much break even this week after my cup game. If i win my cup game, i should clear up all my debt next week since i'll have a home league and cup game. Its gonna be a tough game on wednesday, but i might win. This weeks League Game This week i play probally the best team in my divison right now and only guy i actually talk to. To start this season me and him both knew our teams were pretty even. I think i had a slight edge (if form is equal) but 2 weeks ago he pulled a 17 year old solid PM that sold for 1,000,000 bucks. Since then, he's upgraded his stadium and bought 2 solid middy's. One has very good experiance and is putting up 3 1/2 stars in solid form. The other was has decent experiance and is putting up 3 stars in passable form. Plus he bought a 3 1/2 stars wingback. So basically im screwed :) Here is his rating from his last home cup game. Witches 3-4-3 Player rating and Team formation Midfield: passable - (6) Right Side Defence: solid - (7) Central Defence: passable - (6) Left Side Defence: passable - (6) Right Side Attack: solid - (7) Central Attack: brilliant - (11) Left Side Attack: outstanding - (10) NSI - 65 That is with POE TS and playing normal (i think) at home. Our midfields are about equal, My defense is slightly better and his offense is way better. Plus he's at home today. So i don't have much of a shot at beating him. The main thing that drives me crazy about johnny's team is that everyone of his guys has great form all the time. While my guys form is in the shitter, constintly. Im not sure if he trains general sometimes but his striker trainee's don't seem to be increaseing in value very much, if at all. Cup Game I've drawn a pretty good divison IV team this week. But it could have been much worse. NeedleFreaks Player rating and Team formation Midfield: weak - (4) Right Side Defence: excellent - (8) Central Defence: excellent - (8) Left Side Defence: excellent - (8) Right Side Attack: excellent - (8) Central Attack: excellent - (8) Left Side Attack: excellent - (8) NSI - 60 Thats his ratings on the road. thats a high weak midfield. The only reason its weak is because his midfielders stamina isn't to great. If i play my starters i'd say i have a 50/50 shot at beating this guy. He's better all around then me, but my midfiled will be 2 levels higher then his. So i'd expect about a 58/42 possession differance in the first half and a 62/38 in the second half. That might just be enough to win. He doesn't have a B-team and plays the same guys in league and cup games. So im praying one of his starters gets injured today. What to do??? I've got 2 tough games this week and i can't win them both. My training program comes first above all else, so playing my starters in both games is out of the question. So which ever game i decide to play my back-ups in, i'll just PIC and take the loss. I've got a tough decision to make. What would you do??? Upnext, This weeks League Game |
Season 2 - League Game - Round 3
Witches - vs - Maniacal Misfitz Today i play the best team in my divison..... The Witches on the road! If i played my starters and MOTS'ed i "might" win. But its just not worth killing my TS over it. So I've decided to play my back-ups and PIC. I really really wanna win my next Cup game and if i play my starters with POE TS i should pull it out without a MOTS. The Witches Offense is really good since he runs a 3-4-3. So they will probally score quite a few goals on me. Hopefully my back-ups can keep it close. Starters GK - Marcin Landowski Right wingback - Ismael Ferreira da Silva (defensive) Central Defender 1 - Omar Nairn Central Defender 2 - Rikard Larsson Right Winger - Benton Minter (Offensive) Inner Midfielder 1 - Joaquim Neiva (offensive) Inner Midfielder 2 - Viktor Tolstoy (offensive) Inner Midfielder 3 - Roy Hoekstra Left Winger - Andi Neiweiler Forward 1 - Aron Capotă Forward 2 - Abel Cano Im playing 2 starting defenders today and my starting goalie. Mainly to "try" to keep the score low. Actually, technically Aron and Abel are my starting forwards. But Aron has weak form and Abel has poor form so they won't be starting anytime soon. The Match 10700 spectators had come to The Pentacle this cloudy day. Witches had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. Lineup: Weiss - Larrańaga, Kihlstĺl, Baird - Tuver, Landbo, Möllerstrand, Yngvesson - Bondarevs, Olsson, Jones. Maniacal had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Landowski - Ferreira da Silv, Nairn, Larsson - Minter, Hoekstra, Tolstoy, Neiva, Neiweiler - Capotă, Cano. One of many good passes from Niklas Yngvesson at the wing was recieved and skillfully taken care of by Dirk Jones, scoring for Witches to 1 - 0. A speedy charge from the left side of the field put Witches lead up with 2 - 0. Dave Baird finished that one off competently, firing from an acute angle. Maniacals Benton Minter got himself booked after a foul. Maniacal showed some good morale and were, in the 33rd minute, able to reduce the score to 2 - 1 as Aron Capotă got past the home sides full backs straight in front of the goal. The referee showed Witchess Dirk Jones the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Due to a severely mistimed tackle,Abel Cano spent some on the grass writhing in agony before he could get up and continue the game. In the 38:th minute Witches put themselves up 3 - 1. The visitors defenders lost the ball to Niklas Yngvesson coming up from the left, who proceeded to cooly round the goaltender and knock the ball home. The teams went for a half-time break at 3 - 1. The fortyfive minutes were dominated by Witches, with an impressive 65 percent possession of the ball. A couple of quick and successful challenges, followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area after 55 minutes might have resulted in another goal for Witches. However, Marcin Landowski made a spectacular save. Martin Olsson of Witches received a yellow card in the 58:th minute for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Witches put themselves up 4 - 1 when Olle Landbo broke through on the right, leaving the entire defensive box behind him. The structure of the game started to change as Witches decided to pull back and meet their opponents in the defensive zone. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. Dirk Jones squirmed himself through the central defense line in the 82nd minute, asserting the lead to 5 - 1. A speedy charge from the left side of the field put Witches lead up with 6 - 1. Ulf Möllerstrand finished that one off competently, firing from an acute angle. Joaquim Neiva of Maniacal received a yellow card in the 86:th minute for unsportsmanlike behaviour. After 86 minutes, Dirk Jones swiftly ran past Omar Nairn to put away the 7-1 goal. At that, Dirk Jones was noted down for a hat trick. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. Patrik Tuver squirmed himself through the central defense line in the 87:th minute, asserting the lead to 8 - 1. Witches held the ball, with a clear 73 percent possession rate. The most dominating Witches player was without a doubt Daniel Larrańaga. Lenny Weiss on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Maniacal player was without a doubt Ismael Ferreira da Silva. Roy Hoekstra on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 8 - 1.

My back-ups held the game close for most of the game. Then they scored 5 goals on me in the last 15 mins. I should be more mad i guess, but im not. I don't think it should have been that bad of a blow-out considering the ratings, but still. What can ya expected. He played the game of his life. Thats his best NSI ever. Amazing what 1 youth pull and the new experiance boost can do for a team =) They're is some good news in all this, The 31/2 star goalie for the team i play on wednesday got hurt and will miss the cup game!!! his back-up is a 1 star keeper! can you say.... Woot??!!??!!?? The Good Not a dam thing The Bad Abel Cano - put up only 1 1/2 stars in poor form. But he did get slightly injuried during the game. God i hope his form starts going back up. That injury vs The Square Pegs killed his form. Roy Hoekstra - Roy's poor form got him only 1 1/2 stars for the second week in a row. Around The Divison Boston Bulldogs - vs - Atlanta Huns 3 - 0 The Bulldogs did some bot bashing today. I have a big game vs them at home next sunday. They're defense is awsome and they're midfield is no pushover. It will be a tough game. CristinaFC3 - vs - PoBOXTeam 8 - 0 Blowout here, i thought CristinaFC3 would win. But not by this much. They somehow got a passable midfield. God this new experiance boost is making all they average teams alot better. Kentucky Pharaos - Final Fantasy 0 - 3 Bot Bashing today for Final Fantasy.

Season 2 - Cup Game - Round 4
Maniacal Misfitz - vs - NeedleFreaks Big Big Big game here today. Biggest game of the season so far. I need this win for a number of reasons. The First reason is money. If i win today then my 7,850 seat arena expansion was paid for in full, by my cup run this year. The second reason is team spirit. If i win today i get 1 more PIC game next week which will help out alot. And last but not least is money!! I like/need mo money! :) The NeedleFreaks have been around for awhile. But the main problem with them is that the owner doesn't care to much about his team. He plays the same players in his friendly's and his league games and doesn't have any trainee's. Im not sure what he is training exactly but i don't really care either. His team is all around better then mine. Except his midfield, mine is a little better then his, plus im at home, plus! i'm playing a winger towards the middle. So the key to todays game will be possession for me. Hopfully i can dominate the possession and not give his 2 really good forwards many chances to score. I have a bit of luck going into this game. His normal 3 1/2 star goalie is injuried and the back-up only puts up 1 stars. So his defense will be much weaker then normal. Hopfully this, plus my midfield advantage will be the difference here. Starters GK - Marcin Landowski Right Wingback - Ismael Ferreira da Silva (Defensive) Central Defender - Omar Nairn Left Wingback - Emanuel Miller (Defensive) Right Winger - Dolf de Bevere (Offensive) Inner Midfielder 1 - Jed Neumann (Defensive) Inner Midfielder 2 - Josef Eder (Offensive) Inner Midfielder 3 - Jakob Noer Mogensen Left Winger - Huey Miller (Towards The Middle) Forward 1 - Istvan Strobl Forward 2 - Martin Devátý My starting defenders are in pretty good form, but since my goalie Marcin, is only in Inadequate form i probally won't see any "Excellent" defensise ratings. My winger Dolf, is still in Excellent form and im expecting another 3 stars out of him today. He's been on fire latley and i hope he stays that way :) My midfielders form is below average, but with a winger towards the middle i should have a very high passable midfield rating again. So its not that big of a deal. Last but not least, Martin Devátý is getting the start at forward today. Martin hasn't played in awhile but since i sold a forward yesterday and i haven't found a replacment yet, he will get the nod. He's a passable/weak forward with solid set peices. He usually puts up 2 stars in passable form which normally isn't good enough to be a starter, but i don't have much of a choice right now. Players To Watch Dolf de Bevere - Since he was the MVP of my last cup game. Im hoping for another huge game here today. Martin Devátý - His first start in awhile, im hoping since he has solid set peices. Maybe he can get me a free kick goal or assist. The Match A scorching day at Maniacal Misfitz Arena, where 15150 spectators were in place for today´s match. Fans from both teams had been eagerly awaiting this Florida derby and were doing their best to outshout their opponents. Maniacal had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Landowski - Ferreira da Silv, Nairn, Miller - de Bevere, Neumann, Noer Mogensen, Eder, Miller - Devátý, Strobl. NeedleFreaks started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Parnell - Coronado, Hannah, Mocerino - Forte, Hamilton, Noguerol, Sherwood, Rolfsson - Ivarsson, Frade. In the 18:th minute the home side managed to get a 1 - 0 lead as Istvan Strobl flipped the ball after a cross pass from the right. Steve Parnell was caught napping a bit later as Martin Devátý lifted a ball over him after a free kick, but the ball hit the bar, rebounding into the keepers arms. A bit later, a magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Maniacal´s Martin Devátý putting the lead up to 2 - 0. NeedleFreaks had to manage with a reduced squad from the 42nd minute on, as Michael Forte got sent off for a foul in a free situation. The player down was Jed Neumann. The Maniacal bench looked worried a while but in the end he managed to get up. Seemingly due to lack of experience, Omar Nairn needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed. T he teams went for a half-time break at 2 - 0. Maniacal held the ball, with a clear 62 percent possession rate. NeedleFreaks showed some good morale and were, in the 52nd minute, able to reduce the score to 2 - 1 as Alve Rolfsson got past the home sides full backs straight in front of the goal. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. Martin Devátý squirmed himself through the central defense line in the 54:th minute, asserting the lead to 3 - 1. A great save by goaltender Steve Parnell in the 55:th minute kept the visitors in the game as Istvan Strobl struck from the left with a real cannonball. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, Maniacal´s Jed Neumann got himself booked. 68 minutes into the game Jed Neumann had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came Joaquim Neiva. The fortyfive minutes were dominated by Maniacal, with an impressive 64 percent possession of the ball. The most dominating Maniacal player was without a doubt Ismael Ferreira da Silva. Huey Miller on the other hand, had a terrible day. NeedleFreaks´s best player was Gerald Frade. Steve Parnell was a disappointment, however. The match ends 3 - 1.

Huge.... Huge win. :) It took a little luck but we did it. Having they're 3 1/2 star goalie out really hurt they're defense. Normally its Excellent/Excellent/Excellent, Plus they had they're best winger get red carded in the first half which hurt they're right side attack out some. We did a good job dominating possession 62/64 and they only had 1 scoring chance the whole game, while we had 5 and scored on 3. The big surprise here is Martin Devátý. He scored 2 goals and hit the post on a free kick. His experiance bumped to poor which lead to him getting 2 1/2 stars in passable form. I was considering selling him, but now he'll remain on the team. I was a little scared when i saw that Jed Neumann went down, but he's only "brusied but playing" so he should be ready to go by sunday. The Good Martin Devátý - scored 2 goals and raised his experiance to "poor". So now he is a 2 1/2 star forward in passable form. The Defense - only allowing 1 goal against such a good offense. Dolf de Bevere - Another 3 star game for the youngster. Lets hope his form stays at excellent after tommarrow's training update. The Bad Arena - Stupied me!!! My arena won't be fully upgraded until the updates tonight. So i missed out on an extra 25k or so. But since i won, its not such a big deal. I'll sell it out sunday and next wednesday probally.

Update
I picked up my fourth forward tonight....... Bill Wright (11066211) 27 years, solid form, healthy A pleasant guy who is temperamental and honest. Has weak experience and poor leadership abilities.

So in passable form he'll probally get 2 1/2 stars, Which ain't bad for 25k. Now all 4 of my forwards get 2 1/2 stars in passable form. |
Nice pickup, he's actually better than my starters as of late:(

I might get 3 stars out of him =) Form Update My form is starting to come around now. All in all it was a good form week except for my midfielders who broke even, 2 up 2 down. My starters are in weak/solid/passable form and my number 1 back-up is also in weak form. So im not sure what im gonna do on sunday yet. I had HUGE surprise today!! My starting goalie hit PASSABLE FORM!!! For those of you that read this dynasty on a regular basis. You know that i can't get a starting goalie in passable form to save my life. Every goalie i've ever had drops in form the second i buy them :( But maybe that will come to an end now. 6 players increased in form (4 Starters) 3 Players Decreased in form (2 starters) Team/Player Value Value per player (average): 90 136 US$ (+279) Total squad value: 1 983 000 US$ (96,000) Average age: 21 (+1) Current form (average): passable (up from inadequate) Experience (average): wretched No of players (excluding the coach): 22 (+1) Number of nationalities: 15 These numbers are slightly skewed since i sold a player and bought 2 guys with lower value.

They are a very good defensive team that is in incrediable form. He has to be training general because half of his starters are in excellent form and the other half are in solid/passable form. Boston Bulldogs Player rating and Team formation Midfield: inadequate - (5) Right Side Defence: excellent - (8) Central Defence: outstanding - (10) Left Side Defence: solid - (7) Right Side Attack: passable - (6) Central Attack: inadequate - (5) Left Side Attack: inadequate - (5) NSI - 56 His midfield will probally only be weak since he is away, but those still are some nice ratings. I should win possession by about 5-8% each half and my offensive is better then his. So im hoping for a win. My Prediction - 3 - 1 Win Upnext, This weeks league game |
Season 2 - League Game - Round 4
Maniacal Misfitz - vs - Boston Bulldogs Important game here today. The Bulldogs currently sit in second place in the league and are 3-0. But they are yet to play any of the top 3 teams in the league (Final Fantasy, The Witches and me). But that doesn't mean they suck. They have one hell of a defense and a pretty decent offense and midfield. But im at home and my defense and offense are finally in decent form so i have the advantage. I expect a low scoring/boring game. The Starters Gk - Marcin Landowski Right Wingback - Ismael Ferreira da Silva (Defensive) Central Defender - Omar Nairn Left Wingback - Emanuel Miller (Defensive) Right Winger - Andi Neiweiler (Offensive) Inner Midfielder 1 - Jakob Noer Mogensen (Defensive) Inner Midfielder 2 - Josef Eder (Offensive) Inner Midfielder 3 - Huey Miller Left Winger - Dolf de Bevere (Offensive) Forward 1 - Martin Devátý Forward 2 - Bill Wright I finally have pretty good form all around. All my staters have at least passable form expect Huey Miller and Jed Neumann. They both are in weak form which hurts because they both are good midfielders. I had to bench Jed today because of his form and he's still slightly injuried. So my stamina for my starting midfielders today is passable/passable/inadequate. That might be a problem if i have a close game going in the second half. Got a new player playing today. Bill Wright is my new starting forward. He's a passable/inadequate forward with weak experiance. He gets 3 stars in solid form, but unfortunetly he dropped to passable form after the last update :( Also, My starting goalie finally hit passable form so im expecting some better defensive ratings this week aswell. Players To Watch Bill Wright - my new forward, im still hoping for a good game even though he dropped in form. Marcin Landowski - finally in passable form, im hoping for a excellent defensive rating or 2 now. Huey Miller - He has weak form, inadequate stamina and he's playing in the extra inner middy spot. So he will probally have a terrible game. The Match Due to an all-day shower, 14276 paying spectators :( got to see a match on a pitch-turned-bog at Maniacal Misfitz Arena. Maniacal had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Landowski - Ferreira da Silv, Nairn, Miller - Neiweiler, Miller, Noer Mogensen, Eder, de Bevere - Devátý, Wright. Bulldogs tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. Lineup: Davidson - Dickens, Cerda, Baron, Gentile - Franklin, Lange, Posey, de Vega - Miner, Qualls. A foul after 3 minutes resulted in a free kick. Martin Devátý cannonballed it, giving the hometeam the lead 1 to 0. Seemingly due to lack of experience, Omar Nairn needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed. Josef Eder increased Maniacals lead to 2 - 0 by putting a header away on a hooked ball from the right. The structure of the game started to change as Maniacal decided to pull back and meet their opponents in the defensive zone. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, Maniacal´s Huey Miller got himself booked. Maniacal´s Dolf de Bevere had an excellent opportunity in the 40:th minute, shooting on a through ball, but he missed the goal by miles! 2 - 0 was the half-time score. Maniacal held the ball, with a clear 62 percent possession rate. Francisco Javie de Vega had a couple of good opportunities to reply, but the home team´s goaltender Marcin Landowski just wouldn´t surrender. After 67 minutes Omar Nairn put Maniacal ahead 3 - 0 as he rose to head in a hooked ball, the result of an effort from the right side. Bulldogs held the ball, with a clear 51 percent possession rate. Maniacal´s best player was Ismael Ferreira da Silva. Huey Miller on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Bulldogs player was without a doubt Billy Cerda. Vernon Dickens on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 3 - 0.

And i like it, i like it alot! Our best NSI ever (61) and our most stars ever (29.5). We killed them in possession in the first half, but our bad stamina caused us to drop 13% in the second half. But it didn't matter, they couldn't crack my defense :) This was a big win for the club. If i can pull out a win next week, i'll have 4/5 easy weeks of picing so i can go into the tough part of my schedule to end the season with POE TS. The Good Bill Wright - I can't believe he still grabbed 3 stars in passable form. Im shocked to say the least. A 3 star forward in passable form for 27k???? can you say....WOOT!?!? Andi Neiweiler - Andi got his first ever 3 star game. Last time he was in passable form he only got 2 1/2 stars. So maybe the little bit of PM training he is getting pushed him over the hump to 3 stars. Eitherway im happy! Omar Nairn - Omar got his first ever 3 stars in passable form. He always gets it in solid form but he hasn't been in solid form all season. I guess he's in "high" passable form right now. The Bad Huey Miller - To be honest, I shouldn't have played Huey today. He is a Solid middy, but his inadequate stamina and weak form are hurting him alot. I should have played one of my back-ups. They would have at least gotten 2 stars. Around The League Final Fantasy - vs - PoBOXTeam 5 - 0 Nothing surprising about this game. Final Fantasy killed them as expected. I wish POBOXteam would get replaced already. They've been ownerless for 3 weeks now. Atlanta Huns - vs - CristinaFC3 0 - 4 CristinaFC3 did some bot bashing today. I get to play them next week at they're house. They are capable of putting up a passable midfield at home and a excellent/solid/solid attack. SO it won't be an easy game at all. I'll talk more about it in a few days Kentucky Phar - vs - Witches 0 - 8 The Witches also got to do some bot bashing today. But next week they have a tough game vs Final Fantasy. But since they are at home they should win. With the way they are going, they should win the divison and promote this season. The money from that Million dollar youth pull made them the best team in the divison. League Standings Team-----------------Played----------------Goals---------------Points 1.

Season 2 - Cup Game - Round 5
Maniacal Misfitz - vs - California Sea Lions Today's game will likely be a painful thing to watch. I take on a VERY tough divison II team. The Sea Lions run a 3-4-3 and put up a "Magnifacent" central attack rating in they're cup games. So even if i played my starters and MOTS'ed i'd still get crushed. So i'll be Pic'ing and playing my back-ups. My cup run comes to an end here today unless he gets 3 guys red carded or something crazy like that. Starters GK - Stanford Weiss Right Wingback - Ismael Ferreira da Silva (Defensive) Central Defender - Vilhelm 'Ströle' Skogby Left Wingback - Rikard Larsson (Defensive) Right Winger - Benton Minter (Offensive) Inner Midfielder 1 - Jed Neumann (Defensive) Inner Midfielder 2 - Joaquim Neiva (Offensive) Inner Midfielder 3 - Roy Hoekstra Left Winger - Viktor Tolstoy (Towards The Middle) Forward 1 - Istvan Strobl Forward 2 - Abel Cano Vilhelm will be playing in his first game as a Misfit today. I bought him last wednesday (I think) and he is kinda like a utility man. He can put up 2 1/2 stars at defense and forward in passable form. Abel Cano made a huge 2 level form jump last thursday to get to inadequate form, but i wasn't sure how many stars he'd get so i didn't play him in my league game. Players to Watch Vilhelm 'Ströle' Skogby - his first game with the team. He's in inadequate form right now but since he has inadequate experiance i still think he'll get 2 1/2 stars playing defense Roy Hoekstra - Roy's still in poor form and its starting to piss me off. He's been in poor form for 3 weeks now and isn't showing any signs of improving. He'll probally get another disappointing 1 1/2 stars today Abel Cano - after his huge form jump last week, todays game will decide whether or not he plays on sunday if he still has inadequate form. He should still get 2 1/2 stars but ya never know. The Match 23000 spectators arrived at Maniacal Misfitz Arena, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Maniacal tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Lineup: Weiss - Ferreira da Silv, Skogby, Larsson - Minter, Hoekstra, Neumann, Neiva, Tolstoy - Cano, Strobl. California had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. The following players had been chosen: Crowder - Key , Brossel, Harvey - Levine, Zalewski, Haggart, Ulbćk - Schwarz, Whaley, Zorkin. Maniacal broke through to the left in the 5:th minute, Abel Cano firing at an acute angle giving the home side a 1 - 0 lead. Roy Hoekstra was the first to reach the corner kick, but his header was saved by the keeper. However, Maniacal´s Abel Cano managed to get hold of the rebound and scored the 2-0 goal. California managed to reduce a bit later to 2 - 1 as Bruce Schwarz finished off a well played combination from the left, carving through the defensive box. 30 minutes into the game California´s Erling Ulbćk found a gap in the home sides central defense scoring with a long shot, making it 2 - 2. A mistake by the home sides central defence in the 30:th minute allowed Guy Whaley to score 2 - 3 for California. The teams went for a half-time break at 2 - 3. California held the ball, with a clear 64 percent possession rate. In the 60:th minute California put themselves up 2 - 4 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. Scorer was Guy Whaley. California increased the lead to 2 - 5 as Erling Ulbćk scored from the penalty spot, putting the ball in near the top left corner. In the 74:th minute Maniacals Roy Hoekstra received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. The visitors Bruce Schwarz took advantage of an error due to a misunderstanding between the home side´s goalie and full backs in the 77:th minute. 2 - 6 for California. By now California were drawing the troops back in order to defend their lead. After 84 minutes, Hagai Zorkin managed to intercept a pass intended for the opposing keeper and flip it in, making the score 2 - 7. California held the ball, with a clear 65 percent possession rate. Most important Maniacal player was Ismael Ferreira da Silva. Roy Hoekstra on the other hand, had a terrible day. California´s best player was Shawn Levine. Guy Whaley on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 2 - 7.

At least i scored 2 goals so my supporters are still "High On Life". If i would have gotten shutout at home. They probally would have dropped to irrated or calm. I also sold out my new upgraded arena for the first time!!! So i made a nice 80k off that game. This cup run more or less paid for the arena upgrade and this last pic got me back to POE TS :) No real surprises performance wise except for Joaquim Neiva. he got his first ever 2 1/2 star game. He's a inadequate PM/passable passing with solid stamina and solid form. Im hoping he bumps to passable PM tommarrow. That way i know i'll get him to solid pm before the season is over. Vilhelm played well and got 2 1/2 stars in inadequate form. He'll make a very nice back-up utility man. The Good Joaquim Neiva - He got his first ever 2 1/2 star game. It looks like he is very close to popping to passable PM. Abel Cano - got 2 goals and got 2 1/2 stars in inadequate form. But im still not sure if he'll start on sunday if his form and Martin's form stays the same. Martin's solid set pieces is so nice to have in the game, We'll see what happens tommarrow. Jed Neumann - only got 2 stars because he is in weak form and is "bruised but playing". But he did jump to wretched experiance after the game. Wierd how a guy who has played in like 7-8 total games in his life bumps to wretched experiance. But i have guys that have played in 20+ games for me who are still at disastrous experiance. The Bad Roy Hoekstra - once again, Roy only got 1 1/2 stars. His shitty form is pissing me off. he'd better shape up soon or he'll be shipped out once he hits solid PM.

Training Update
1 pop in playmaking this week. I was hoping for more because i still have a couple guys who haven't popped yet since i bought them. Viktor Tolstoy 79 000 US$, 19 years, inadequate form Has disastrous experience and inadequate leadership abilities [Quick] Stamina: passable Keeper: disastrous Playmaking: passable Passing: passable Winger: poor Defending: inadequate Scoring: wretched Set Pieces: poor I bought Viktor at the end of last season for 42k mainly because of his great secondary's. He should hit Solid PM by the end of the season barring any injuries. I now only have 1 more midfielder with only inadequate PM and i think he'll pop next week. Form Update A pretty good form update this week. Most of the form updates were my forwards. My 2 starting forwards went up to solid form and my 2 back-ups dropped a level. My Young winger who has been in excellent form for 3 weeks now finally dropped back down to solid. This doesn't bother me to much because 3 weeks at excellent form is great. But besides them nothing crazy happened. 6 players increased in form (3 Starters) 4 players decreased in form (1 Starter) Im basically in the best form i've been in since midway through last season. Here's the breakdown..... 0 Players in excellent form 6 Players in Solid Form (All 6 are starters) 6 Players in Passable form (4 Starters) 6 Players are in Inadequate form (0 starters) 3 Players are in Weak Form (1 Starter) 0 Players are in Poor form 0 Players are in Wretched form I can't remember the last time i had only 1 starters below passable form :) Player/Team Value Value per player (average): 96 762 US$ (+6,626) Total squad value: 2 032 000 US$ (+49,000) Average age: 21 Current form (average): passable Experience (average): wretched No of players (excluding the coach): 21 (-1) Number of nationalities: 14 I finally hit the $2,000,000 team value plateau!!! and i should hit the $100,000 per player average value in a week or 2 :) Upnext, This weeks youth pull and economic update |
Youth Pull and Economic Update
Youth Pull if this guy was 2 years younger i'd be happier.... Ed Castaneda (15679345) 19 years, passable form, healthy A pleasant guy who is fiery and honest.

If i win on sunday i should break the 1000 supporter mark on wednesday... WOOT! This Weeks Game My last semi-tough game for awhile. This week i take on CristinaFC3. They have a semi-active owner who logs on like once a week and buys a player here and there. But no real training program to speak of. CristinaFC3 Player rating and Team formation Midfield: inadequate - (5) Right Side Defence: passable - (6) Central Defence: passable - (6) Left Side Defence: weak - (4) Right Side Attack: passable - (6) Central Attack: Solid - (7) Left Side Attack: Solid - (7) NSI - 51 As you can see this team is no pushover. They are actually capable of putting up a passable midfield at home. But i don't think they will this week. They're main weakness is they're left Side defense. Its usually weak or inadequate, i plan on attacking it with my best winger and hope to generate most of my goals from that side. Even though im on the road, i should still win this game. Our midfields should be about even, but since im actually back in good form. I should have the advantage everywhere else. My Prediction 5-2 win Upnext, This weeks league game |
Season 2 - League Game - Round 5
CristinaFC3 - vs - Maniacal Misfitz My last semi-tough game for awhile. After todays game i should be able to pic my next 4 to 6 games depending on form for the last 2. I've played the top 4 teams in my divison (besides me) in the first 5 weeks this season. So after today i get a much deserved break. CristinaFC3 is a decent all around team. They're attack is pretty good and they're midfield isn't bad either. They're main weakness is they're defense. Its only a passable/passable/weak. So i should be able to exploit it some today. There is another big game in my divison today. The second Place Witches take on the First place Final Fantasy. It Should be a real good game. Starters GK - Marcin Landowski Right Wingback - Ismael Ferreira da Silva (Defensive) Central Defender - Omar Nairn Left Wingback - Emanuel Miller (Defensive) Right Winger - Andi Neiweiler (Offensive) Inner Midfielder 1 - Jed Neumann (Defensive) Inner Midfielder 2 - Josef Eder (Offensive) Inner Midfielder 3 - Jakob Noer Mogensen Left Winger - Dolf de Bevere (Offensive) Forward 1 - Bill Wright Forward 2 - Martin Devátý Im in my best form in a long long time!! Everyone on the field has either passable or solid form expect 1 guy. Jed Neuman is in weak form and the only reason im playing him is because of his excellent stamina. My Midfielders stamina is still kinda low and Jed is the only one with excellent stamina. So i need him in the game. Both my forwards and both my wingers are in Solid form so im expecting my best offensive game ever. Player To Watch Dolf de Bevere - he finally droped to solid form on thursday so im not sure if he'll get 3 stars or not. Martin Devátý - just bumped to solid form so im hoping to get 3 stars out of him. But i doubt he'll get it. The Match Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 22240 to CristinaFC3 Arena. People from all of Florida had joined up for the derby. CristinaFC3 tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Lineup: Pupi - Läfbrant, Dalström, Merrill - Garland, Samuel, Robert, Polanco, Persson - Perales, Stokes. Maniacal started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Lineup: Landowski - Ferreira da Silv, Nairn, Miller - Neiweiler, Neumann, Noer Mogensen, Eder, de Bevere - Devátý, Wright. A mistake by the home sides central defence in the 12th minute allowed Emanuel Miller to score 0 - 1 for Maniacal. Bill Wright of Maniacal received a yellow card in the 18:th minute for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Maniacal´s Martin Devátý made it through the home teams defence in the 29:th minute, and had only to place the ball in an unguarded goal when the home side´s defender sprang up from the left, clearing the ball on the line. Bengt Persson was doing a great job at his wing, sending in brilliant passes to his team mates in the middle. Bill Wright increased the visitors lead by putting a volley shot away on a pass from the right. 0 - 2. By now Maniacal were drawing the troops back in order to defend their lead. Halftime score was 0 - 2. The fortyfive minutes were dominated by Maniacal, with an impressive 54 percent possession of the ball. Some fine manouvering on the left lead to an 51st minute Maniacal goal, making it 0 - 3. Dolf de Bevere was noted down as the scorer. After 59 minutes Ned Stokes could have reduced had it not been for an excellent block by the visitors keeper Marcin Landowski. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, CristinaFC3´s Ned Stokes got himself booked. Johannes B. Dalström received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly, probably out of lack of experience, in the 74:th minute and almost caused an opponent to score. Maniacal nearly produced a goal as Bill Wright set up Andi Neiweiler for a strike from a seemingly unpossible angle. The receiver wasn´t as clear-headed though, and put the shot wide. After 79 minutes Ned Robert could have reduced had it not been for an excellent block by the visitors keeper Marcin Landowski. CristinaFC3s David Polanco got himself booked after a foul. CristinaFC3 held the ball, with a clear 54 percent possession rate. CristinaFC3´s best player was Ned Robert. However, Johannes B. Dalström made a disastrous appearance. Most important Maniacal player was Andi Neiweiler. Jed Neumann on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 3.

Best NSI ever and most stars ever!!! My best game ever!!! The Misfitz have joined the 30 stars club :) Im surprised i got a passable midfield on the road without MOTS'ing. But i did! Which means i might still get a passable midfield at home next week while PIC'ing. Pretty much everyone played great, i have no complaints. I did miss 2 scoring chances which kinda pisses me off, but my goalie also saved 2 scoring chances for them so its an even trade off in my book. Josef Eder got his first ever 3 stars game and is only the second Misfitz Inner middy to get 3 stars. He's in Solid form and about 1/3 of the way towards Excellent PM. Dolf de Bevere still got 3 stars in solid form. He must be close to being a solid winger. It just doesn't seem right that a passable winger with inadequate PM, and weak passing is getting 3 stars in solid form. But i'll take it :) The Good Dolf de Bevere - Still got 3 stars in solid form. Josef Eder - got his first ever 3 star game! The whole team - got my most ever stars with 30!!! and best NSI rating ever with 65!!! The Bad no bad here baby!! Around The League Witches - vs - Final Fantasy 5 - 2 The other big game in my series today and the Witches pulled it out. Final Fantasy had the lead 2-1 at half time. But they have terrible stamina and the Witches stormed back and scored 4 unanswered goals in the second half. The Witches are now in first place. Boston Bulldogs - vs - Kentucky Pharaos 4 - 0 The Bulldogs got to do some bot bashing today. Nice easy win for them. PoBOXTeam - vs - Atlanta Huns 2 - 0 PoBOXTeam also got to do some bot bashing today. But they somehow only managed to win 2-0 at home vs a bot team. Kind of Pathetic really. I get to play PoBOXTeam at home next week. Should be a nice easy PIC win for me. League Standings Team------------------Played---------------Goals-------------Points 1.

Update
I haven't really looked at Hatstats to much this season. So today i decided to see where my team and my divison stands with the rest of divison V. I was kinda shocked to see divison V.253 ranked 33rd strongest. The reason this is suck a shock is because i have 2 bots teams and 1 ownerless team. Every divison higher then me on the list has already had they're bot teams replaced. We average an NSI of 49.4. But without our 2 bots teams we average 55.8. That would put us number 3 on the list. Kinda scary since 3 of those 6 teams hardly ever log in. If they'd put a litte effort into they're team we'd be number 1 on that list. Also, The Misfitz made the best ratings for round 5 :) Our 65 NSI tied us for 56th place in all of divison V baby! |
Season 1 - Friendly Game - Round 6
Maniacal Misfitz - vs - Lurking FC well, back to playing friendly's :( Im gonna miss the money and the experiance from my cup games. But getting to round 5 as a divison V team isn't bad. Better then most in V. Anyway, today we play an Intl. friendly vs Lurking FC. I don't know who these guys are but they love playing against FOFC team. Im they're 3rd one in 3 weeks. But now that i think about it, why wouldn't he wanna play against FOFC teams.... we rock :) They come from Thailand and im hoping that they will bring in a nice crowd. They aren't a very good team and my back-ups should have no problem pounding them. Starters GK - Stanford Weiss Right Wingback - Emanuel Miller Central Defender - Vilhelm 'Ströle' Skogby Left Wingback - Rikard Larsson Right Winger - Benton Minter (Offensive) Inner Midfeilder 1 - Joaquim Neiva (Offensive) Inner Midfielder 2 - Viktor Tolstoy (Offensive) Inner Midfielder 3 - Huey Miller Left Winger - Roy Hoekstra (Towards The Middle) Forward 1 - Abel Cano Forward 2 - Istvan Strobl Right now my starters are in the best form i've ever had them in. But my back-ups are slacking. Pretty much everyone is in inadequate or weak form. Only 3 guys on the field have passable or above form. But these are my back-ups so who cares right??well, i care! FOFC cup starts next week and i need my back-ups to win a few :) Hopfully some of them will bounce back tommarrow. Nothing much else to really add about this game, should be a nice and easy friendly. Players To Watch Joaquim Neiva - Joaquim got his first ever 2 1/2 star game last week. I hope he does it again today. He's gotta be close to popping to passable PM. Inadequate PM's in passable form usually don't get 2 1/2 stars. The Match 2700 spectators arrived at Maniacal Misfitz Arena, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Maniacal started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Weiss - Miller, Skogby, Larsson - Minter, Tolstoy, Miller, Neiva, Hoekstra - Cano, Strobl. Lurking had chosen a strategic 4-5-1 formation. Lineup: Havas - Jaruphan, Yong-Kwan, Pu Yai Bahn, Abhasra - Mcnamara, Kukrit, Chong-Kien, Yodbangtoey, Boon-mee - Fernandes Ramos. Maniacals Benton Minter gave, after 25 minutes, the home team a 1 - 0 lead after an attack coming in from the right. In the 30:th minute of the match the visitors central line of defence had to look on as Abel Cano dashed through, knocking home 2 - 0 for Maniacal. The teams went for a half-time break at 2 - 0. Maniacal held the ball, with a clear 67 percent possession rate. In the 68:th minute of the match the visitors central line of defence had to look on as Viktor Tolstoy dashed through, knocking home 3 - 0 for Maniacal. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. Abel Cano squirmed himself through the central defense line in the 82nd minute, asserting the lead to 4 - 0. The structure of the game started to change as Maniacal decided to pull back and meet their opponents in the defensive zone. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, Maniacal´s Huey Miller got himself booked. After 88 minutes Istvan Strobl put Maniacal ahead 5 - 0 as he rose to head in a hooked ball, the result of an effort from the right side. Maniacal put their lead ahead another goal as Huey Miller struck home the 6 - 0 goal, after an attack from the left setting him up unmarked with the keeper. Maniacal, bringing the final ball possession rate to 72 percent, dominated the battle. The most dominating Maniacal player was without a doubt Emanuel Miller. However, Roy Hoekstra made a disastrous appearance. Most important Lurking player was Iiro Havas. Krita Pu Yai Bahn was a disappointment, however. The match ends 6 - 0.

The first 4 events were my goals and 6 out of 7 of the events were my goals. Can't beat that :) All the ratings were as expected except for my midfield. I can't believe i got a inadequate midfield with my back-ups :) i did have a winger towards the middle and im at home. But still, that ain't bad. I also drew my largest crowd ever for a friendly. 2700 Misfitz fans came to see the exotic Thailand'ers :) and made me a nice 7k. The Good Joaquim Neiva - got another 2 1/2 stars. I hope he bumps to passable PM tommarrow. Abel Cano - only got 2 stars in weak form but scored 2 goals. He scores in every dam game he plays in. Reguardless of form :) The Bad Vilhelm 'Ströle' Skogby - My utility man only got 2 stars at CD today. Which is kinda wierd since last week he got 2 1/2 in the same form. Roy Hoekstra - another 1 1/2 star game for Roy. At least his form bumped to weak last thursday. Upnext, This weeks training update |
Training and Form Update
Training Looks like i was right about Joaquim. he bumped to passable PM today. I "Should" get him to Solid by the end of the season. Joaquim Neiva 64 000 US$, 18 years, passable form Has disastrous experience and weak leadership abilities [Unpredictable] Stamina: solid Keeper: disastrous Playmaking: passable Passing: passable Winger: weak Defending: disastrous Scoring: poor Set Pieces: inadequate I grabbed Joaquim for 15k at the end of last season. Now all 7 of my midfielders are at least Passable in PM. 3 Solids and 4 passables. But 2 more should be poping to Soild any week now. Next week i'll be training Stamina, most of my midfielders have passable stamina and i'd like to get them to at least Solid. Form Well, Form has just been great for me lately and it continues this week. Not alot of movment, but the big surprise is My goalie Marcin is in........ SOLID FORM!!!!!! This is a great day in Misfitz history. Never have i ever had a starting goalie is solid form and i've rarely had a starting goalie in passable form. So this is a big shock. I doubt i'll get 3 1/2 stars out of him but my defense should get a nice Excellent/Excellent/Excellent again. 4 Players increased in Form (1 Starter) 1 Player decreased in form (0 Starters) My great form run will probally come to an end over the next couple weeks because i'll be training Stamina next week. Player/Team Value Value per player (average): 101 524 US$ (+4,762) Total squad value: 2 132 000 US$ (100,000) Average age: 21 Current form (average): passable Experience (average): wretched No of players (excluding the coach): 21 Number of nationalities: 14 Another milestone for the Misfitz..... our average player value passed the $100,000 mark.

I have a home game tommarrow and the weather looks good. So i should make some decent money this week. This Weeks game Today i play the first team i ever played in hattrick.... PoBOXTeam and it will be the last time i ever play them also. They will be replaced by a new team anyday now. Its actually slightly possible that they will be replaced before tommarrows game. Im in divison V.253 and they are currently replacing teams at divison V.250. Anyway, this should be nice and easy PIC game for me. They have decent midfield and a decent attack. But are no match for me, espically at home.

Divison Overhaul
Well, i won't be playing PoBOXTeam tommarrow. My divison just got cleaned out. We have 4 new teams now, which is a good thing in my book. I've already sent all 4 of them messages welcoming them and telling them to stop by the FOFC boards if they need help. I think a big problem with Hattrick is people get confused when they start because the rules section only tells you the basics. Then they just get frustrated and quit. So hopfully a couple of them will stick around and get addicted to Hattrick like the rest of us. This is good news for my FOFC cup run. I will probally not need to play my starters again for the next 5 weeks and maybe even 6 weeks. So i might make it pretty dam far in the FOFC cup. We'll see, i kinda feel bad playing my starters vs other peoples back-ups because it was done to me 3 out of the 5 FOFC Cup games i played last year. we'll see what happens..... |
Slaughter them! These are misfitz, not some nice do good two shoers. Throw away the lucky charms and let the milk rot on their graves!
Good Luck in the Cup! |

Season 2 - League Game - Round 6
Maniacal Misfitz - vs - The Minnesota SnowDrifts Well, so much for playing PoBOXTeam 1 more time. They changed ownership last night. They are now "The Minnesota SnowDrifts". The owner is yet to log in yet unfortunetly so this should be a serious beat down. I debated playing my back-ups but since the FOFC cup doesn't start till next week. I'd rather have my starters get the experiance. I was hoping for my first ever league game sellout of my new arena today, but now that im playing a new team im not so sure. My supporters are high on life and the weather is good, but i don't think that will be enough. Starters GK - Marcin Landowski Right Wingback - Ismael Ferreira da Silva (Defensive) Central Defender - Omar Narin Left Wingback - Emanuel Miller (Defsensive) Right Winger - Dolf de Bevere (Offensive) Inner Midfielder 1 - Jed Neumann (Defensive) Inner Midfielder 2 - Josef Eder (Offensive) Inner Midfielder 3 - Jakob Noer Mogensen Left Winger - Andi Neiweiler (Offensive) Forward 1 - Bill Wright Forward 2 - Martin Devátý Once again, everyone in my line-up has passable or solid form expect for 1 guy. Jed Neumann still is still in weak form but since he has excellent stamina, he still gets the start. This is also the first time i've ever had a goalie in Solid form. Im not expecting any "Formidable" defensive though. But it would be a nice surprise. I'll be pic'ing this game of course and it should get me back to POE TS. Players to Watch Marcin Landowski - His first game at solid form. Its possible he could get 3 1/2 stars but i don't think it will happen. The Match Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 21837 to Maniacal Misfitz Arena. Maniacal tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Lineup: Landowski - Ferreira da Silv, Nairn, Miller - de Bevere, Neumann, Noer Mogensen, Eder, Neiweiler - Devátý, Wright. SnowDrifts had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. Lineup: Minter - Mahon, Osborne, Preston, Adler - Jacobson, Jeremy, Finch, Moulton - Blair, Huddleston. Dolf de Bevere sprinted between the opposing defenders after 5 minutes, but the keeper deflected Martin Devátý's shot. The 9:th minute saw the home team take a 1 - 0 lead after a leak in the visitors right side defense. Scorer for Maniacal was Martin Devátý. A bit later, a magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Maniacal´s Martin Devátý putting the lead up to 2 - 0. Maniacal put their lead ahead another goal as Bill Wright struck home the 3 - 0 goal, after an attack from the left setting him up unmarked with the keeper. Omar Nairn increased Maniacals lead to 4 - 0 by putting a header away on a hooked ball from the right. In the 29:th minute Maniacals Andi Neiweiler received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. In the 35:th minute of the match the visitors central line of defence had to look on as Andi Neiweiler dashed through, knocking home 5 - 0 for Maniacal. Halftime score was 5 - 0. Maniacal held the ball, with a clear 89 percent possession rate. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. Jed Neumann squirmed himself through the central defense line in the 48:th minute, asserting the lead to 6 - 0. By now Maniacal were drawing the troops back in order to defend their lead. Bill Wright struck a 30 metre free kick home in the 55:th minute. 7 - 0 for the home team. As Omar Nairn had, completely unprovoked, swept the legs out from under an opponent in front of a linesman, the referee gave the Maniacal player a red card without batting an eye. Chris Jeremy the unlucky victim, couldn´t continue the game. Maniacal put themselves up 8 - 0 when Bill Wright broke through on the right, leaving the entire defensive box behind him. By then Bill Wright was a three time scorer - a hat trick! In the games 82nd minute SnowDrifts´s Homer Ponce fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee booked Homer Ponce for taking a dive. A bit later, a magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Maniacal´s Josef Eder putting the lead up to 9 - 0. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. Martin Devátý squirmed himself through the central defense line in the 86:th minute, asserting the lead to 10 - 0. By then Martin Devátý was a three time scorer - a hat trick! Maniacal held the ball, with a clear 87 percent possession rate. Most important Maniacal player was Andi Neiweiler. However, Jed Neumann made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating SnowDrifts player was without a doubt Craig Moulton. Samuel Huddleston on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 10 - 0.

I never saw that coming, espically with a PIC. I feel kinda bad for the guy. His first game in Hattrick and he gets destoryed. Thats by far my biggest margin of victory ever. It won't be this bad next week when i play another new team. I'll play my back-ups vs them so i can use my starters in the FOFC cup. They're were quite a few Misfitz firsts in this game. I picked up my first ever hattrick in a league game. Actually, i got 2 hattricks in this game :) Martin Devátý and Bill Wright both scored 3 goals. Also, all of my midfielders and wingers got 3 stars expect, Jed Neumann. He only got 2 1/2 but that ain't bad for being in weak form. Last but not least, Omar Nairn got his first ever red card :( but since im playing my back-ups in league play next week. It doesn't really matter. The Good Jakob Noer Mogensen - got his first ever 3 star game at middy. Which is impressive since he his playing the extra inner middy spot. Bill Wright - First hattrick for Misfitz!!! Martin Devátý - second ever hattrick for the misfitz!! just 4 mins after Bill got our first one :) Andi Neiweiler - helped get my first ever formidable wing attack rating. The Bad Omar Nairn - got red carded. Around The League All 4 of the new teams in the league had to play the 4 older teams today. It wasn't pretty! Final Fantasy - vs - US Rangers 8 - 0 The owner of the new "US Rangers" is pretty cool. He's the only one of the new teams that i've really talked to. I hope this beat down doesn't drive him away from hattrick. Witches - vs - north crowley 10 - 0 Johnny's Witches won 10-0 and they played mostly back-ups. OUCH! Daverules FC - vs - CristinaFC3 0 - 7 The lowest scoring game in my divison this week :) League Standings Team-------------------Played------------------Goals---------------Points 1.

Season 2 - Friendly Game - Round 7
SouthPark Cows - vs - Maniacal Misfitz Since the FOFC cup got all screwed up this week, i've arranged a friendly with Lytic and his South Park Cows. The Cows train defending and have a quite a few nice defender trainee's. Unfortunetly for Lytic he's in one of the toughest divisons in divison IV and is having a tough time this year. Anyway, this should be a pretty boring game all around since he runs a 5-4-1 and we are both playing our back-ups. Starters GK - Stanford Weiss Right Wingback - Vilhelm 'Ströle' Skogby (Defsenive) Central Defender - Omar Nairn Left Wingback - Rikard Larsson (Defensive) Right Winger - Benton Minter (Offensive) Inner Midfielder 1 - Joaquim Neiva (Offensive) Inner Midfielder 2 - Viktor Tolstoy (Offensive) Inner Midfielder 3 - Huey Miller Left Winger - Roy Hoekstra (Towards The Middle) Forward 1 - Abel Cano Forward 2 - Istvan Strobl My Back-ups had a really good form week last thursday. So most of them are in pretty good form. Even Roy Hoekstra is up to inadequate form which is a miricle. After looking at his last few friendly's my back-ups are better then his, so i "should" win this game. But since he has home field advantage anything is possible. Players To Watch Roy Hoekstra - Roys first game at inadequate form in a LONG time. Im hoping for 2 stars has he plays "Winger Towards The Middle". Abel Cano - Abel is back up to inadequate form also. I'd like to get him back into my starting line-up soon. Hopfully he'll have a good game. The Match 971 spectators had come to Starks Pond this cloudy day. SouthPark had chosen a strategic 5-4-1 formation. Lineup: Barfield - Cook, Danhof, Hwang, An, Tewari - Bernbratt, Mcnutt, Bokfeldt, Doménech - Donaldson. Maniacal had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. They fielded: Weiss - Skogby, Nairn, Larsson - Minter, Tolstoy, Miller, Neiva, Hoekstra - Cano, Strobl. SouthPark made a bid to take the lead as a ball coming in from the right hand side left Olof Bokfeldt completely alone with keeper Stanford Weiss, who made a spectacular block. SouthPark created a good opportunity to score in the games 9:th minute when Hyun-Gu Hwang`s hooked ball created a scuffle in front of the goal, and the visitors defenders had a hard time clearing the ball. In the 14:th minute the home side managed to get a 1 - 0 lead as Olof Bokfeldt flipped the ball after a cross pass from the right. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, SouthPark´s Aijaz Tewari got himself booked. The teams went for a half-time break at 1 - 0. The fortyfive minutes were dominated by Maniacal, with an impressive 54 percent possession of the ball. Viktor Tolstoy made a good effort at breaking through from the right, but the home team left defence cleared the ball to a corner. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, Maniacal´s Vilhelm 'Ströle' Skogby got himself booked. Olof Bokfeldt behaved like an inexperienced youth player in the 71st minute as he gave the ball away to an opponent. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. Abel Cano came close to levelling the score in the 73rd minute, as he was set up with a through ball coming in from the left, but his shot hit the post. Abel Cano almost scored an equalising goal for Maniacal in the 80:th minute, but Lance Barfield made an excellent save, tipping the awkwardly curled shot past the post. Maniacal, bringing the final ball possession rate to 51 percent, dominated the battle. The most dominating SouthPark player was without a doubt Mikey Cook. However, Lance Barfield made a disastrous appearance. Most important Maniacal player was Omar Nairn. Roy Hoekstra on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 0.

I would have been seriously pissed. Ratings wise i should have easily won this game. But i didn't, i missed 3 scoring chances in the second half and gave up a goal vs a terrible offense. His goal came from his right side which was a wretched wing attack vs a solid defense...wierd. Anyway, know one got injuried on either side so it was a good friendly. Good luck to Lytic and his Cows in the FOFC cup next week. The Good B - Team - Best ever NSI and stars for my B - Team. Abel Cano - Played good in inadequate form and i'll probally let him play with the starters next week. The Bad Viktor Tolstoy - for some reason this guy refuses to get 2 1/2 stars. He's in passable form, with passable PM and passable passing. Yet he gets 2 stars a game. Maybe after this weeks stamina training he'll bump to solid stamina and get 2 1/2 stars. Istvan Strobl - He has been in a form drop lately and only got 2 stars today in weak form. Upnext, This weeks Training Update |

That was the first time I won a game I shouldn't have since last season! Too bad I wasted it on a friendly!
You faced 2 South Korean U20 defenders, 1 future Pakastani Nats teamer, and a 17 year old freak of a wingback. The other guy was a middie getting some defender training so I can sell him at a high price. Of all things, my clown scored on you... now get this: that was his best game by far!

Training and Form Update
What can i say.... every thursday has been a good day for the Misfitz over the past month. And the trend didn't stop this week. My midfield ratings have been getting better and better every week, but my biggest problem has been stamina. Almost all of my midfielders and wingers had passable stamina. Which isn't horrible, but it definetly effects my midfield rating. When i play against a team with Excellent stamina, i lose around 8% in the second half. So to remedy this i trained stamina this week. The main reason i decided to do it this week is because i have 5 straight easy games ahead of me. So if my form takes a hit from the stamina training, it will have plenty of time to bounce back. So without further ado, here are my amazing results.... Stamina Bumps Everyone on the team that had below Excellent stamina bumped up at least 1 level expect 2 guys. Benton Minter my back-up winger and my starting Goalie. Here are the important ones..... Midfielders Josef Eder 182 000 US$, 20 years, passable form Has disastrous experience and weak leadership abilities [Powerful] Stamina: solid Keeper: disastrous Playmaking: solid Passing: passable Winger: weak Defending: poor Scoring: poor Set Pieces: wretched Josef already is a 3 star Middy and he bumped 1 level to solid stamina. He should hit Excellent PM in about 5 weeks. Jakob Noer Mogensen 116 000 US$, 19 years, solid form Has disastrous experience and inadequate leadership abilities [Quick] Stamina: solid Keeper: disastrous Playmaking: solid Passing: weak Winger: poor Defending: inadequate Scoring: poor Set Pieces: inadequate Jakob just got his first ever 3 star game last sunday while playing as the extra inner middy. He bumped 1 level to solid stamina. He should hit excellent PM by the end of the season. Jed Neumann 88 000 US$, 20 years, inadequate form Has wretched experience and wretched leadership abilities Stamina: excellent Keeper: disastrous Playmaking: passable Passing: wretched Winger: wretched Defending: passable Scoring: weak Set Pieces: poor Jed was my only middy with excellent stamina already. He can get 3 stars in good form and should bump to Solid PM any week now. Huey Miller 58 000 US$, 18 years, passable form Has disastrous experience and wretched leadership abilities [Head] Stamina: solid Keeper: disastrous Playmaking: solid Passing: poor Winger: wretched Defending: poor Scoring: poor Set Pieces: weak Huey had a GREAT week, He bumped up an amazing 2 levels in stamina and also bumped a level in FORM! He's always been a 2 star middy because of his inadequate stamina. But now he should easily get 2 1/2 stars. Huey should hit excellent PM in 4-5 weeks. Joaquim Neiva 68 000 US$, 18 years, passable form Has disastrous experience and weak leadership abilities [Unpredictable] Stamina: excellent Keeper: disastrous Playmaking: passable Passing: passable Winger: weak Defending: disastrous Scoring: poor Set Pieces: inadequate Joaquim is on a roll lately, He just bumped to passable PM last week and now he bumped a level to excellent PM. He's a solid 2 1/2 stars now and 'Might' hit solid PM this season. Viktor Tolstoy 103 000 US$, 19 years, passable form Has disastrous experience and inadequate leadership abilities [Quick] Stamina: excellent Keeper: disastrous Playmaking: passable Passing: passable Winger: poor Defending: inadequate Scoring: wretched Set Pieces: poor Victor has been giving me problems latley. He bumped to passable PM 2 weeks ago but he still only put up 2 stars in passable form. I think it was probally because he only had passable stamina. But he bumped 2!!!! levels in stamina and now will definetly get 2 1/2 stars now. He should hit soild PM at the end of this season Roy Hoekstra 109 000 US$, 19 years, passable form Has disastrous experience and inadequate leadership abilities [Powerful] Stamina: solid Keeper: disastrous Playmaking: passable Passing: weak Winger: passable Defending: weak Scoring: poor Set Pieces: poor Roy's form has FINALLY!!! gotten back to passable. He's been at poor for most of the season. He also bumped 1 level of stamina. I play him as a winger towards the middle most of the time. He should hit Solid PM soon. But its hard to say since he doens't get full training every week. Wingers Dolf de Bevere 77 000 US$, 20 years, solid form Has disastrous experience and weak leadership abilities [Quick] Stamina: solid Keeper: disastrous Playmaking: inadequate Passing: weak Winger: passable Defending: weak Scoring: weak Set Pieces: poor Dolf is my FREAK 3 star winger. I have no clue why he always gets 3 stars but who cares. He bumped up 1 level of stamina to solid. Im not sure when he will bumped to passable PM, but hopfully he will soon. Andi Neiweiler 197 000 US$, 26 years, passable form Has wretched experience and passable leadership abilities Stamina: solid Keeper: wretched Playmaking: weak Passing: passable Winger: solid Defending: inadequate Scoring: poor Set Pieces: weak My STUD winger bumped up 1 level of stamina to solid. Im also hoping he bumps to inadequate PM soon. But its hard to tell because he's kinda old for training. Thats it, there's no point in showing you my other stamina bumps because it doesn't really matter for those postions. As you can see i had a GREAT stamina week. I couldn't be happier :) Form Form wasn't bad either this week. It wasn't great, but considering i trained stamina, I'll take it. My defenders took the worst hit. 2 starting defenders dropped to inadequate form and my starting goalie dropped to passable form. 5 Players Increased in Form (2 starters) 5 Players Decreased in Form (4 Starters) Team/Player Values Value per player (average): 105 524 US$ (+4,000) Total squad value: 2 216 000 US$ (+84,000) Average age: 21 Current form (average): passable Experience (average): wretched No of players (excluding the coach): 21 Number of nationalities: 14 Upnext, This weeks Youth Pull and Economic Update |

Yeah, i know your trainee's are desperate for some stamina training. Looking at your upcoming schedule, You might wanna think about training stamina this week. You have small chance of beating Kaishaku F.C. at home this week. But then your screwed the next 2 games vs Kaishaku F.C. away and Brooklyn United. So you'll lose those 2 no matter what kinda form you have. I'd pic them and have good TS for your next 2 games. Then you get 2 games you should win with Zfan at home and Team Groomers . So by then end of these 4 games your teams form should have bounced back from any decreases it had due to the 1 week of stamina training. Just giving ya something to think about :) Now that DK has all but abandoned HT, i'll have to find a couple new divisons to get interested in. And you have a interesting one to say the least :) |
Economic Update and Youth PUll
Youth Pull Im not even sure why i put 20k a week into my youth squad. Its so amazingly frustrating and can't even begin to explain it. And for some unknown reason my youth squad is taking longer then most people's to bump to Excellent. Its been 16 weeks since i bumped to solid. Anyway, enough bitching.... here's my shitty youth pull..... Lenny Payne (16134173) 19 years, passable form, healthy A sympathetic guy who is calm and honest. Has disastrous experience and weak leadership abilities. Nationality: USA Assessed value: 21 000 US$ Wage: 600 US$/week Owner: Maniacal Misfitz Warnings: 0 Stamina: poor Goaltending: disastrous Playmaking: poor Passing: wretched Winger: poor Defending: inadequate Scoring: inadequate Set Pieces: inadequate I like his last name but thats about it.

I have no plans of buying or selling anyone any time soon. So i should steadily make a little bit of cash every 2 weeks. This weeks game Another easy pic game this week as i take on one of the new teams in divison V.253. US Rangers bought a few cheap players since taking over they're team last week and upgraded to a inadaqute coach. But my B-team is still WAY WAY better then them so they'll get the start this week. My Prediction 6 - 0 win FOFC Cup Game At first i thought i would have it easy for my first cup game since i'll be playing my starters. But as it turns out the Toledo Drunkards have a really easy win this week so i'll probally see his starters on wednesday. Toledo Drunkards Player rating and Team formation Midfield: passable - (6) Right Side Defence: excellent - (8) Central Defence: formidable - (9) Left Side Defence: formidable - (9) Right Side Attack: solid - (7) Central Attack: solid - (7) Left Side Attack: solid - (7) NSI - 65 The Drunkards and i are very very close in terms of talent. We both put up almost the exact same NSI rating. I 'Think" my midfield is slightly better and my attack is slightly better. But his defense is better then mine. But Since he has home field advantage, he is the favorite. It should be a fun game and hopfully none of our starters will get injuried. My Prediction 3 - 2 Loss Upnext, This weeks league game |
Season 1 - League game - Round 7
US Rangers - vs - Maniacal Misfitz Another new team today, The US Ranger will probally be the best 'new team" out of the bunch because he seems to be an active owner. He told me he's a huge soccer fan in real life. So hopfully down the road he'll stick with HT and build a good team. I'll be playing my back-ups and Pic'ing today. This should put be back at POE TS and have me at delirous for my FOFC Cup battle on wednesday vs Toledo Drunkards. Starters GK - Stanford Weiss Right Wingback - Vilhelm 'Ströle' Skogby (Defensive) Central Defender - Ismael Ferreira da Silva Left Wingback - Rikard Larsson (Defensive) Right Winger - Benton Minter (Offensive) Inner Midfielder 1 - Jed Neumann (Defensive) Inner Midfeilder 2 - Joaquim Neiva (Offensive) Inner Midfielder 3 - Viktor Tolstoy Left Winger - Dolf de Bevere (Offensive) Forward 1 - Istvan Strobl Forward 2 - Martin Devátý Mostly back-ups here but i do have a couple regular starters playing. Ismael Ferreira da Silva will get the call at central defender because i only have 5 defenders at the moment. Dolf de Bevere will make the start on wing because i'm only using 1 offensive winger on wednesday and Martin Devátý will also start now that Abel Cano is FINALLY back in passable form. So even thought Martin is my leading scorer, he's now part of the B-team. Form looks decent for my back-ups, All my defenders (Starters and back-ups) are in a slight form slump except for Ismael. But this shouldn't cause to much of a problem since i don't have a tough league game for quite some time. Players To Watch Viktor Tolstoy - Viktor jumped 2 levels in stamina on wednesday (To Excellent) and should get his first ever 2 1/2 star game even thought he's playing as the extra inner middy. Martin Devátý - Playing against such a bad defense, he should have a field day out there today. The Match Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and Ibrox Arena saw a crowd turnout of 4606. Rangers had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Lineup: Routhier - Salinas, Oakley, Cannon - Little, Mccord, Holt, Wylie, Spain - Polk, Flanagan. Maniacal had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Weiss - Skogby, Ferreira da Silv, Larsson - Minter, Neumann, Tolstoy, Neiva, de Bevere - Devátý, Strobl. A mistake by the home sides central defence in the 16:th minute allowed Istvan Strobl to score 0 - 1 for Maniacal. The referee showed Rangerss Alfred Holt the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Dolf de Bevere´s speed was made justice as he darted past his marker and struck an opening pass to Istvan Strobl who scored the 0-2 goal. The away team´s Martin Devátý took advantage of a mistake to the home side´s right in the 39:th minute increasing Maniacal´s lead to 0 - 3. By now Maniacal were drawing the troops back in order to defend their lead. In the to 39:th minute a very unfortunate collision in the home teams penalty area led to Rangers´s Tyson Little being carried off the pitch and replaced by Bob Estep. In the games 40:th minute Istvan Strobl nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through and fired from just outside the box, his shot passed just over the bar. Rangers had obvious problems in finding their positions. Dolf de Bevere was, after 40 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors lead with a well placed diving header but home side keeper Jérome Routhier saved. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, Maniacal´s Joaquim Neiva got himself booked. A well placed corner kick from Alexander Cannon was followed by Buster Oakley´s hard but accurate header. The nice combination meant goal for Rangers. The result now 1-3. Martin Devátý increased the visitors lead by putting a volley shot away on a pass from the right. 1 - 4. Halftime score was 1 - 4. Maniacal held the ball, with a clear 68 percent possession rate. The Rangers players spent the half-time break getting a rerun of the teams tactical organization. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, Rangers´s Samuel Wylie got himself booked. Maniacal came close to extending their lead as Benton Minter delivered a long range shot from the right but the angle was too sharp, and the shot hit the side of the goal. Rangers had obvious problems in finding their positions. Some fine manouvering on the left lead to an 77:th minute Maniacal goal, making it 1 - 5. Martin Devátý was noted down as the scorer. By then Martin Devátý was a three time scorer - a hat trick! Alfred Holt of Rangers got sent off for kicking the ball after the whistle, a completely uncalled for move, earning him his second yellow card of the game. Maniacal, bringing the final ball possession rate to 87 percent, dominated the battle. The most dominating Rangers player was without a doubt Buster Oakley. However, Samuel Wylie made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating Maniacal player was without a doubt Dolf de Bevere. Istvan Strobl on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 5.

Plus there were no injuries which makes me even more happy. I knew Martin Devátý was gonna have fun out there vs this defense. He notched another Hattrick. Thats his second Hattrick in 2 weeks. The man is on fire :) I was also please with the midfield, now they only got a "weak" ratings but they were on the road and PIC'ing. Plus each one got 2 1/2 stars. Now all 7 of my midfielders can get at least 2 1/2 stars in passable form. Thats some nice depth :) I was also slightly impressed with The Rangers ratings, a 39 NSI after only have your team for 1 week isn't bad. Espically since he got a NSI of 20 last week. If he buys a decent middy or 2 he should be ok. The Good Viktor Tolstoy - picked up his first ever 2 1/2 stars game. Martin Devátý - got his second Hattrick in as many weeks. The Bad Vilhelm 'Ströle' Skogby - My utility mans form continue's to drop and he only manage 2 stars playing wingback. Around The League north crowley - vs - Final Fantasy 0 - 3 FF easily dispatched of North Crowley 3-0 and it could have been alot worse. North Crowley have done little to improve they're team since taking over last week. CristinaFC3 - vs - Witches 3 - 3 The Witches just can't stand being in first place. I don't no what it is but they always seem to blow games they should have easily won. I think they PIC'ed this game but for the life of me i can't figure out why they'd do that. CristinaFC3 is no pushover when at home, this tie changes alot of things in my divison. I might just make a run at first after all. The Minnesota - vs - Daverules FC 3 - 1 The "Who Cares" game of the week in divison V.253. Neither one of these teams as done much since taking over they're team last week.

What am i doing wrong???
Serious question here and i'll take any constructive critizism you have. First off, I love doing this dynasty, i'd probally do it if no one read it. I enjoy jotting down my thoughts after each game and keeping track of my team week by week. But for some reason this season im not getting nearly as many views on my dynasty as a did last year. I'll admit, last season my dynasty was crazy. I bought 2 new players every week and thought i knew everything about hattrick :) Maybe thats why i had alot of views last year. I guess it was kind of entertaining watching me go crazy on the transfer market. But this year im much more stable, i've got a solid team and a good training program going. And since i can't get a good youth pull to save my life, i have no money to buy new players anyway. I guess last year everyone had a good angle. Afoci's was funny, DK's was a great read, SI's was a mix between both and mine was "whats he gonna do next". So basically my point to all this is ... what am i doing wrong?? is my dynasty boring now?? should i attempt to make it more like DK's?? More of a presentation style and less of a "what i think" kinda thing?? I thought maybe people were just losing interest in HT dynastys all together, but SI and NAIWF still seem to get alot of views. So that ain't it. Lemme know what you guys think....... |
I think a lot of the views come from when you have something new to write. If you're not really buying anyone, then the only thing that's getting posted in a week would be your 2 games and the training and economic updates. Four updates every seven days isn't a lot, and since you're not in the US Open Cup, it's possible the average reader might only check out how you did in the league and how much money you have.
We all know you can't get a good youth pull to save your life, so there's no need to check that out :) My suggestion would be to maybe add a little report card type thing every now and then which explains how your goals for the season are being met or something along those lines. That way, those of us that follow your team get to read/see something we couldn't find on the HT website. Hope that helps. |
See, I hadn't read in a while, and now I am getting back into your dynasty. So no need to worry !!!
|
NAIWF - thats not a bad idea. I'll think about doing something kinda like that.
Alf - glad to see your reading again :) |
Well, if you check my threads, I have ~300 views through last week (half season, basically) versus something like 1600 all of last season. I know I've been behind but I know a lot of the usual suspects check out my dynasty (checking out the "Who's online" after I post, for instance). I think it's just a matter of less people are reading hattrick dynasties currently. The hardcore guys are still there and a few new people but I think the hattrick population, as a whole, just reads a few less dynasty reports than last season or the season before when we were starting out (although I've found it a bit easier to keep up this year because some of the dynasties have been discontinued and I don't just mean DK as I can think of three off the top of my head). I know I'll keep reading until that bitch goddess school takes away too much of my time.

Season 2 - FOFC Cup - Round 1
Toledo Drunkards - vs - Maniacal Misfitz Finally, The FOFC cup has arrived!!!! Unfortunetly i got jipped in the rankings and got a 9th seed. So probally no home games for me :( Anyway, i thought today was gonna be a really tough game because Rich had a very easy league game this week. So i thought he'd play his back-ups on sunday and his starters vs me. But he decided to play his starters on sunday so i'll probally play his back-ups today. If thats the case, my starters should kill his back-ups. This kinda disappoints me, i was looking forward to a good game since all my league games recently have been easy. Starters GK - Marcin Landowski Right Wingback - Emanuel Miller (Defensive) Central Defender - Omar Nairn Left Wingback - Ismael Ferreira da Silva (Defensive) Right Winger - Andi Neiweiler (Offensive) Inner Midfeilder 1 - Jakob Noer Mogensen (Defensive) Inner Midfielder 2 - Josef Eder (Offensive) Inner Midfielder 3 - Huey Miller Left Winger - Roy Hoekstra (Towards The Middle) Forward 1 - Abel Cano Forward 2 - Bill Wright Last weeks stamina training was a big help! My midfield should see a huge improvment now. Plus im playing Roy Hoekstra towards the middle. The plan when i bought him was to play him towards the middle in league games but his form has sucked all season. He finally hit passable form on sunday so now we'll see how he does with the starters. The rest of the teams form is still good, Abel Cano is Finally back to passable form. So my central attack might hit excellent for the first time ever! Players To Watch Huey Miller - since his stamina bumped up 2 levels to solid. Im expecting his first ever 2 1/2 star game. Roy Hoekstra - his first game in passable form for the Misfitz. If he makes a big enough impact. He might earn himself a starting job. Abel Cano - first game in passable form since those EVIL Square Pegs broke him late last season! The Match 1256 spectators arrived at Toledo Drunkards Arena, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Drunkards started off with a 3-4-3 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Moore - Everett, Cadalso, Clarke - Woodward, Pupper, Boyd, Chiang-Hui - López, Suchy, Messina. Maniacal had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Landowski - Miller, Nairn, Ferreira da Silv - Neiweiler, Miller, Noer Mogensen, Eder, Hoekstra - Cano, Wright. Drunkards mostly ignored the flanks in favour of attacks in the middle. Ludwik Suchy of Drunkards received a yellow card in the 15:th minute for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Maniacal took the lead after 16 minutes with 0 - 1. Omar Nairn placed the ball out of reach for the home sides keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. The visitors Bill Wright took advantage of an error due to a misunderstanding between the home side´s goalie and full backs in the 25:th minute. 0 - 2 for Maniacal. The structure of the game started to change as Maniacal decided to pull back and meet their opponents in the defensive zone. A header from Roy Hoekstra connected with a corner kick after 28 minutes, and the ball ended up with Huey Miller of Maniacal who shot the 0-3 goal. In the games 28:th minute Abel Cano nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through and fired from just outside the box, his shot passed just over the bar. The teams went for a half-time break at 0 - 3. Maniacal, bringing the final ball possession rate to 66 percent, dominated the battle. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, Maniacal´s Omar Nairn got himself booked. After 60 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for Andi Neiweiler who increased Maniacal´s lead to 0 - 4. In the 67:th minute Bill Wright surprised the opponents with a 40 metre pass to Andi Neiweiler who quite easily could settle the score to 0 - 5. Maniacal came close to extending their lead as Jakob Noer Mogensen delivered a long range shot from the right but the angle was too sharp, and the shot hit the side of the goal. Maniacal held the ball, with a clear 70 percent possession rate. The most dominating Drunkards player was without a doubt David Israel López. However, Donny Woodward made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating Maniacal player was without a doubt Jakob Noer Mogensen. Roy Hoekstra on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 5.

Post Game Comments 67 NSI baby!!!!! my best ever by 3 i think. So many firsts in this game, My first Solid midfield and it was on the road, That stamina training really paided off. My first ever Formidable right side defence. Which is quite strange since the wingback on the side, my CD and my goalie all dropped a level in for this week. And my first ever Excellent central attack!!! Abel back in passable form really helped my central attack. Today is a good day to be a Misfit. As you can tell from the score and the ratings Rich didn't play his starters which is to bad. It would have been a really good game. Next week i take on The Number 1 seeded Rochester Roosters. This will be a very tough game. The good news is he has must win game in his series on sunday. So he should play his starters in that game. But if he does play his starters in our game it will be a dam good game. His team is better then mine but not by very much. Either way it should fun, hopfully i can pull off the upset :) The Good Abel Cano - being back in passable form, he gave me that last little push i needed to get me my first ever excellent central attack. Huey Miller - had his first ever 2 1/2 star game and was 10% better then any game he's ever played according to supporter stats. That 2 levels of stamina helped big time. Roy Hoekstra - In passable form and playing Roy towards the middle made a big impact on the midfield. Dolf may have lost his starting winger job. The Bad How could anything about this game be bad :) Upnext, This weeks training update |
Training and Form update
Training no pops this week :( I had a couple guys i was hoping would pop but they didn't. Maybe next week...... Form I breathed a sign of relief when i saw my form update. Usually after i train stamina the following week takes the worst form hit. But today wasn't bad at all, very little movment. One thing that is cool, is that every midfielder i have is in passable or solid form, That also includes wingers. But my freak 3 star winger and daed's favorite Misfit Dolf de Bevere dropped to passable form. So he'll lose his job with the starters. 3 Players Increased in Form (1 Starter) 2 Players Decreased in Form (1 Starter) My form dog at the moment is Istvan Strobl, he's in poor form. This really doesn't bother me to much since he is my clown and my forth forward. Player/Team Value Value per player (average): 108 333 US$ (+2,809) Total squad value: 2 275 000 US$ (+59,000) Average age: 21 Current form (average): passable Experience (average): wretched No of players (excluding the coach): 21 Number of nationalities: 14 New Misfitz record this week. Josef Eder became the first Misfitz outfielder to break the 200k value mark at $202,000. He should hit Excellent PM in 4-5 weeks. Upnext, This weeks youth pull and economic update |

This Weeks League Game I get to beat up on the US Rangers again this week. I'll be playing my back-ups again so i can play my starters in the FOFC cup game. Should be a very easy game again. My Prediction 5 - 0 Win This weeks FOFC Cup game I play the number 1 seed in my bracket this week the Rochester Roosters. If he plays his starters it will be a very tough game. His team is slightly better and he has home field advantage. But he has a must win league game this week so i'll probally face most of his back-ups, In which case i should win. We'll have to wait and see who he plays. Upnext, This weeks League Game |
Season 2 - League Game - Round 8
Maniacal Misfitz - vs - US Rangers Here we go!!!! Second half of the season kicks off today. It should be quite interesting. The Witches tie last week gives me some hope that i can still win the divison. I'll get more into this down at the bottom when i post the league standings so you can see what im talking about :) Today we get to beat up on the US Ranger's again. We beat them last week on the road with our back-ups 5-1. I'll be playing the B-team again this week so i can have my starters for my FOFC cup game. This week the Rangers over-spent like hell for a passable goalie worth 187k. They paided 120k :( dam newbies. I told him to come here and join FOFC so he wouldn't do stupied newbie things like that. But he didn't listen, oh well..... his loss. He'll learn..... Starters GK - Stanford Weiss Right Wingback - Rikard Larsson (Defensive) Central Defender - Omar Nairn Left Wingback - Emanuel Miller (Defensive) Right Winger - Benton Minter (Offensive) Inner Midfielder 1 - Jed Neumann (Defensive) Inner Midfielder 2 - Joaquim Neiva (Offensive) Inner Midfielder 3 - Viktor Tolstoy Left Winger - Dolf de Bevere (Offensive) Forward 1 - Abel Cano Forward 2 - Martin Devátý The B-team looks good form wise. Almost everyone is in passable form. Dolf de Bevere has dropped to passable form so he'll play with the B-teamers for awhile. Same goes for Emanuel, he dropped to inadequate form. The only starters i have playing today are Omar Narin and Abel. Abel is playing because my 4th forward is in poor form and since this divison might come down to goal differance for first place. I'd like to score as much as i can. Players To Watch Martin Devátý - has a hattrick in his last 2 games. Hopfully he can get another hattrick today. Jed Neumann - finally bumped back up to passable form. So im expecting a nice 3 star game out of him. The Match 17984 spectators had come to Maniacal Misfitz Arena this cloudy day. Maniacal started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Weiss - Larsson, Nairn, Miller - Minter, Neumann, Tolstoy, Neiva, de Bevere - Devátý, Cano. Rangers tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. They fielded: Martin - Oakley, Salinas, Cannon - Salisbury, Estep, Downing, Carr, Spain - Polk, Flanagan. The 6:th minute saw the home team take a 1 - 0 lead after a leak in the visitors right side defense. Scorer for Maniacal was Benton Minter. In the 15:th minute of the match the visitors central line of defence had to look on as Martin Devátý dashed through, knocking home 2 - 0 for Maniacal. Rangers had obvious problems in finding their positions. A speedy charge from the left side of the field put Maniacal lead up with 3 - 0. Martin Devátý finished that one off competently, firing from an acute angle. The structure of the game started to change as Maniacal decided to pull back and meet their opponents in the defensive zone. The teams went for a half-time break at 3 - 0. Maniacal held the ball, with a clear 80 percent possession rate. The Rangers players spent the half-time break getting a rerun of the teams tactical organization. Jed Neumann received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly, probably out of lack of experience, in the 56:th minute and almost caused an opponent to score. In the 58:th minute Rangerss Perry Polk received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Rangers seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion about the organization of the team. In the 60:th minute of the match the visitors central line of defence had to look on as Abel Cano dashed through, knocking home 4 - 0 for Maniacal. Maniacal put themselves up 5 - 0 when Abel Cano broke through on the right, leaving the entire defensive box behind him. Maniacal put themselves up 6 - 0 when Abel Cano broke through on the right, leaving the entire defensive box behind him. This third goal made a hat trick for Abel Cano. Maniacal´s Benton Minter left the field after 81 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was Andi Neiweiler. Maniacal, bringing the final ball possession rate to 91 percent, dominated the battle. The most dominating Maniacal player was without a doubt Andi Neiweiler. However, Stanford Weiss made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating Rangers player was without a doubt Buster Oakley. Ossie Downing on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 6 - 0.

His NSI is steadly improving each week. If he buys a couple decent middy's he'll be ok. As for my team, they played amazing!! Thats my B-teams highest NSI ever! Hell, i could beat alot of divison V teams starters with that rating. Abel got his first hattrick for the Misfitz and Martin punched in another 2. Thats now 8 goals in the last 3 games for Martin and he gets another newbie team again next week. The injury to Benton Minter is my first injury is a LONG time. So i can't complain to much. Plus it's only for 2 weeks and since he's young its probally more like 1 week. My B-team middy's are really starting to come into they're own. they got 8 stars between the 3 of them and got a inadequate midfield while pic'ing. Im impressed :) The Good Abel Cano - his form slump appears to be over as he's scored 4 goals in his last 2 games. Jed Neumann - got his first 3 star game while in passable form. he should hopfully pop to Solid PM on thursday. The Bad Benton Minter - was playing well until he got injuried for 2 weeks. Around The League Daverules FC - vs - The Minnesota SnowDrifts 1 - 3 The battle of the new teams!! Minnesota pulled out a close game 3-1 and as now beaten DaveRules FC 2 weeks in a row. Witches - vs - CristinaFC3 7 - 0 The Witches got some revenge for last weeks embarressing tie vs CristinaFC3. His offense is just killer this year running a 3-4-3 with a offensive coach. he's outscored his opponets 50-11. Final Fantasy - vs - north crowley 4 - 0 FF beats up on newbie North Crowly. But he had yet another serious injury. Which is good for me :) League Standings Team-----------------------Played-----------------Goals------------Points 1.

US Rangers-----------------8-------------------1 - 36----------------0 Ok, This is what im hoping will happen so i can win the divison. I need The Witches to beat Final Fantasy 2 weeks from now. They already beat them once this season but it will be tougher for them since its a road game. Then i play The Witches in week 12 at home. I should have super high TS and since its at home i should pull a excellent midfield rating. I not sure wheather i'll MOTS but with a MOTS i should get a formidable midfield rating vs his passable. I get to pic my next game, Then i get to play FF at home to end the season. I'll MOTS that and hopfully win. Then boom, the divison is mine. I'll probally get slaughtered in my qualification game with terrible TS and probally vs a 5th place Divison IV team. But that doesn't matter. Now if the Witches don't beat FF in 2 weeks and i beat The Witches and FF i'll have to have a better goal difference then FF to win. Right now they are only 5 goals up on me. So i have a good chance of closing that gap. Anyway, if i lose or tie any more games this year i won't win the divison period. Eitherway, it should be interesting to see what happens. Upnext, This weeks FOFC Cup game vs the number 1 seed in the HFP bracket.... The Rochester Roosters |

Havok, don't worry about the view thing, if I did by that, it shows that my dynasty has nearly half the support it once had. It is disappointing, but I think it has more to do with the fact that I update maybe 2 or 3 times a week instead of everyday. Yours is probably the same thing.

Update
I actually bought a new player today :) I've been looking through the markets for the past couple weeks to find a guy that could 1 day be my coach. But could also play in some games for me. Naftali ben Aharon (6937691) 30 years, weak form, healthy A controversial person who is calm and dishonest. Has passable experience and passable leadership abilities. Nationality: Israel Assessed value: 53 000 US$ Wage: 1 210 US$/week Owner: Beitar Warnings: 0 Stamina: excellent Goaltending: disastrous Playmaking: weak Passing: wretched Winger: passable Defending: passable Scoring: poor Set Pieces: disastrous Paid 46k His form doesn't bother me since he hasn't played in a game for over a month and once it goes up he'll be a starter. His high experiance will make him a nice 2 1/2 to 3 star wingback playing normal. He'll get plenty of experiance over the next couple seasons so getting him to Solid experiance shouldn't be a problem. I'll be selling my young defender who i trained up to passable. Rikard Larsson (10960190) 18 years, passable form, healthy A pleasant guy who is calm and dishonest. Has disastrous experience and inadequate leadership abilities. Speciality: Head Nationality: Sverige Assessed value: 43 000 US$ Wage: 840 US$/week including 20% Bonus Owner: Maniacal Misfitz Warnings: 1 Stamina: excellent Goaltending: disastrous Playmaking: wretched Passing: weak Winger: wretched Defending: passable Scoring: poor Set Pieces: wretched Hopefully someone will buy him and continue his training. |
Season 2 - FOFC Cup - Round 2
Rochester Roosters - vs - Maniacal Misfitz Round 2 of the FOFC Cup kicks off today and i've drawn a tough opponent. The Rochester Roosters are no pushover espically with home-field advantage. But he will probally play most of his back-ups so im definetly the favorite. After our back-ups last year somehow upset The Slumlords starters, im not taking anything for granted. So this win is not set in stone, not by a longshot. Starters GK - Marcin Landowski Right Wingback - Ismael Ferreira da Silva (Defensive) Central Defender - Omar Nairn Left Wingabck - Vilhelm 'Ströle' Skogby (Defensive) Right Winger - Roy Hoekstra (Towards The Middle) Inner Midfielder 1 - Jakob Noer Mogensen (Defensive) Inner Midfielder 2 - Josef Eder (Offensive) Inenr Midfielder 3 - Huey Miller Left Winger - Andi Neiweiler (Offensive) Forward 1 - Abel Cano Forward 2 - Bill Wright I got almost my full A-team Playing today. The only exception is Vilhelm 'Ströle' Skogby will be starting at Left Wingabck. He's back-up to inadaquate form and my normal starter dropped to inadequate. Since Vilhelm has much better experiance, i decided to let him start. My starters aren't quite in the great form they were 2 weeks ago since i trained a week of stamina not to long ago. But It ain't bad either. I should still see a very nice NSI rating. Players To Watch Vilhelm 'Ströle' Skogby - first game with the starters, probally only get 2 1/2 stars but im hoping for 3 stars in passable form. Abel Cano - Daed's favorite forward has been red hot lately. Scoring practically at will. Hopfully he'll keep it up tonight. The Match Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 1480 at The Rooster Yard today. Rochester started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Lineup: Bray - Harris, Cerda, Börjesson - Grissom, Labayen, Hagen, Baptista, Acker - Hobson, Barragán. Maniacal started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Landowski - Ferreira da Silv, Nairn, Skogby - Hoekstra, Miller, Noer Mogensen, Eder, Neiweiler - Cano, Wright. Rochester seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. Maniacal took the lead after 20 minutes with 0 - 1. Huey Miller placed the ball out of reach for the home sides keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. One of many good passes from John Acker at the wing was recieved and skillfully taken care of by Alex Hobson, scoring for Rochester to 1 - 1. In the 37:th minute the visitors broke through on the right after some poor defending and Abel Cano put the ball away for 1 - 2. The visitors Abel Cano took advantage of an error due to a misunderstanding between the home side´s goalie and full backs in the 38:th minute. 1 - 3 for Maniacal. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, Rochester´s Michael Börjesson got himself booked. Halftime score was 1 - 3. Maniacal held the ball, with a clear 61 percent possession rate. Maniacal´s Bill Wright received a play slashing through the home side´s defense in the 53rd minute, chipping it past the keeper scoring 1 - 4. The home crowd was not pleased with that one. The structure of the game started to change as Maniacal decided to pull back and meet their opponents in the defensive zone. The home side attempted to get through in the middle and had a good chance of pulling one back as Michael Börjesson tried lifting the ball over goalie Marcin Landowski. Typically, the ball went just over the bar. The away team´s Abel Cano took advantage of a mistake to the home side´s right in the 62nd minute increasing Maniacal´s lead to 1 - 5. At that, Abel Cano was noted down for a hat trick. The away team´s Abel Cano took advantage of a mistake to the home side´s right in the 70:th minute increasing Maniacal´s lead to 1 - 6. Maniacal held the ball, with a clear 61 percent possession rate. Rochester´s best player was Zenón Labayen. Jacinto Baptista on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important Maniacal player was Jakob Noer Mogensen. Roy Hoekstra was a disappointment, however.

It was kind of a shocker also. Jakob Noer Mogensen has about 3 weeks of training towards excellent, but i guess his solid form pushed him over the 3 stars mark. I thought for sure Josef Eder would be my first 3 1/2 star player. But i was wrong..... and thats ok with me :) Ok.... what else happened. Abel Cano scored the most goals ever in a game by a Misfitz with 4. I told you he's been scoring at will lately. Thats 7 goals in his last 2 games alone. I love it when he's in good form. The Roosters obviously played his back-ups, so that takes a little bit of the fun out of winning. Just a little :) I've drawn last years FOFC cup cinderella team The Concord Assassins. If i remember correctly he made it way farther then anyone expected him to last season. Im gonna try to stop him from doing it again this year. He's gonna have home field advantage unfortunetly and i'll probally face most, if not all of his starters. So it should be a good game. The Good Jakob Noer Mogensen - First ever 3 1/2 star game for the Misfitz!!! Abel Cano - Just a pure goal scoring machine for me lately. The Bad Its getting harder and harder every week to find something bad about this team. Im just so Hot right now :) Around The HFP Brackett Hamas Mad Bombers - vs - Concord Assassins 1 - 2 A good game here, i was hoping the Bombers would pull it out cause i'd rather face them next week. But The Assassins 61 NSI was just to much for them. Spring Grove Fighting Eagles - vs - West Fargo Stangs 4 - 3 Another excellent game here, The Eagles went with the run and shoot tactic and it paided off. Down 3-2 at half time, they made a nice comeback and pulled it out. If i win next week, i expect to see them in the semi's. Our starters are so close ratings wise its almost scarey :) North County Raiders - vs - Bees 2 - 4 The run and Shoot failed this time, as the Bees upset The Raiders in a tough match. Next weeks Eagels vs Bee's game should be a good one. Upnext, This weeks Training update |
Training and Form update
Kind of a wierd training update. The only guy that poped was my number 1 forward :) Abel Cano 162 000 US$, 25 years, passable form Has wretched experience and weak leadership abilities Stamina: passable Keeper: wretched Playmaking: passable Passing: weak Winger: weak Defending: inadequate Scoring: solid Set Pieces: poor This makes him a serious utility man. He can play middy, defender and of course forward. Unfortunetly, noone else poped :( Jed Neumann is the man i was hoping was gonna pop today, he's got a good 8 weeks of training in him now. Next week he better pop. I even listed him on the transfer wire hoping he would pop :( ohhh well. Form Ok, so i can't get a good youth pull to save my life. But 1 thing im doing right this year is form. My fucking form has been great lately. And now its a hell-of-alot better. I had an incrediable week, for some reason i have no guys in excellent form, but i have an amazing, 10 guys in solid form. Thats insane. I'll break it down in a min. But of course, the most important form guy on the team did drop. My starting goalie dropped to inadequate form :( 8 Players Increased in Form this week (3 Starters) 1 Player Decreased in Form (1 Starter) Even my new guy i just bought increased in form, He's up to inadequate. Here's my form breakdown.... Excellent Form - 0 players (0 Starters) Solid Form - 10 Players (5 Starters) Passable Form - 7 Players (4 Starters) Inadequate Form - 4 Players (2 Starters) Weak Form - 0 Players (0 Starters) Poor Form - 1 Player (0 Starters) The Only postion that is hurting a little is defense, with my goalie in inadequate form and my CD in inadequate form also. But besides them, im great. Player/Team Value Value per player (average): 108 682 US$ (+349) Total squad value: 2 391 000 US$ (+116,000) Average age: 21 Current form (average): passable Experience (average): wretched No of players (excluding the coach): 22 (+1) Number of nationalities: 15 These numbers are kinda screwy since i bought a new player. My average value per player should be a few thousand higher and my overall team value should be about 47k lower. Upnext, This weeks million dollar youth pull and economic update |

Season 2 - League Game - Round 9
The Minnesota SnowDrifts - vs - Maniacal Misfitz Another easy game this week, This is my forth straight game in which i play a new team. The Snowdrifts haven't done much in the way of improving they're team since they got it. He logs on regularly but never really buys any new players. So this game should be pretty easy. I played him 4 weeks ago the day after he got his team and beat him 10 - 0. This game won't be quite so bad since im playing my back-ups and pic'ing. But i should still beat him pretty badly. Starters GK - Stanford Weiss Right Wingback - Naftali ben Aharon (Normal) Central Defender - Omar Nairn Left Wingback - Emanuel Miller (Defensive) Right Winger - Dolf de Bevere (Offensive) Inner Midfielder 1 - Joaquim Neiva (Offensive) Inner Midfielder 2 - Jed Neumann (Defensive) Inner Midfielder 3 - Viktor Tolstoy Left Winger - Benton Minter (Offensive) Forward 1 - Abel Cano Forward 2 - Martin Devátý Pretty good form all around for my back-ups. Almost everyone is in passable form. Benton Minter is still a little dinged up from last weeks game, so im not sure if my left side attack will suffer. But my right side attack should be nice since Naftali ben Aharon will be playing normal on the side. This is Naftali's first game with the team and once he gets up to passable form (inadequate now) he'll probally be playing with the starters. Players To Watch Naftali ben Aharon - First game with the team. I think he'll be a 3 star wingback in passable form, but since he's in inadequate now. Im only expecting 2 1/2 stars. Abel Cano - My goal scoring machine as of late. Look for him to crack the other teams defense all day long. Jed Neumann - This will be Jed's best game ever as long he doesn't get hurt. He bumped to solid form on thursday and is just about as close to being SOLID PM as you can get. He should grab a nice 3 stars. The Match The crowd of 8869 turning up at The Minnesota SnowDrifts Arena today were greeted by some nasty showers of rain. SnowDrifts tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Fyhren - Echols, Finch, Calloway, Adler - Coy, Carrington, Ponce, Espierrez - Mahon, Osborne. Maniacal had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Weiss - ben Aharon, Nairn, Miller - de Bevere, Neumann, Tolstoy, Neiva, Minter - Devátý, Cano. Some beautiful plays on the left side of the field resulted in a 16:th minute goal by Patrick Echols for SnowDrifts, putting them ahead 1 - 0. Maniacal could level the score in the 35:th minute at 1 - 1, as Naftali ben Aharon struck home after a fine midfield combination, leaving him completely unmarked. A free kick aimed at the keepers far post almost gave Maniacal the lead in the 40:th minute, but the ball just wasn´t able to squirm it´s way through the defensive wall. The terraces were silenced in the 43rd minute as Maniacal´s Joaquim Neiva put the guests ahead 1 - 2, following an attack from the right. 1 - 2 was the half-time score. Maniacal held the ball, with a clear 76 percent possession rate. In the 55:th minute the visitors put themselves ahead 1 - 3 as Viktor Tolstoy finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. In the 57:th minute the visitors put themselves ahead 1 - 4 as Abel Cano finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. The structure of the game started to change as Maniacal decided to pull back and meet their opponents in the defensive zone. The referee showed SnowDriftss Randall Coy the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Due to a severely mistimed tackle,Martin Devátý spent some time on the grass writhing in agony before he could get up and continue the game. Jed Neumann received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly, probably out of lack of experience, in the 69:th minute and almost caused an opponent to score. The visitors Joaquim Neiva took advantage of an error due to a misunderstanding between the home side´s goalie and full backs in the 77:th minute. 1 - 5 for Maniacal. Maniacal had, after 79 minutes of the game, worked the left side industriously, creating several opportunities to add to their lead, but somehow didn´t achieve closure. Maniacal held the ball, with a clear 88 percent possession rate. Most important SnowDrifts player was Cristóbal Espierrez. Thomas Adler was a disappointment, however. The most dominating Maniacal player was without a doubt Jed Neumann. However, Stanford Weiss made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 5 Goals Joaquim Neiva - 2 Naftali ben Aharon - 1 Abel Cano - 1 Viktor Tolstoy - 1 Player Ratings GK - Stanford Weiss - ** Right Wingback - Naftali ben Aharon - **~ Central Defender - Omar Nairn - **~ Left Wingback - Emanuel Miller - **~ Right Winger - Dolf de Bevere - **~ Inner Midfielder 1 - Joaquim Neiva - **~ Inner Midfielder 2 - Jed Neumann - *** Inner Midfielder 3 - Viktor Tolstoy - **~ Left Winger - Benton Minter - **~ Forward 1 - Abel Cano - **~ Forward 2 - Martin Devátý - **~ Stars - 27.5 Team Ratings The Minnesota SnowDrifts Player rating and Team formation Midfield: wretched - (2) Right Side Defence: inadequate - (5) Central Defence: inadequate - (5) Left Side Defence: weak - (4) Right Side Attack: inadequate - (5) Central Attack: inadequate - (5) Left Side Attack: passable - (6) NSI - 36 Maniacal Misfitz Player rating and Team formation Midfield: inadequate - (5) Right Side Defence: passable - (6) Central Defence: solid - (7) Left Side Defence: passable - (6) Right Side Attack: formidable - (9) Central Attack: solid - (7) Left Side Attack: excellent - (8) NSI - 58 Post Game Comments Those bastards actually had the lead for 19 mins :) Anyway, the game went as expected... an easy pic win. No real injuries to speak of either and no cards, So im happy. Naftali ben Aharon's debu was good also. He grabed 2 1/2 stars and added a level to my right side attack. If i play a real tough defensive team i can play him offensive on the same side with my number 1 winger Andi Neiweiler and get a outstanding attack, maybe even brilliant. So that might be an option down the road. I can't believe my B-team is getting high 50's NSI ratings on the road. Kinda scary :) The Good Naftali ben Aharon - played well in his first game with the team and should play some games with the starters when his form goes up a little. Jed Neumann - Jed played his best game ever by 6% according to supporter stats. I hope he pops to solid PM on thursday. The Bad Dolf de Bevere - He didn't really play bad, but i was expecting 3 stars out of him since he's back in solid form. Be he only got 2 1/2. Abel Cano - Abel only scored 1 goal vs these nOObs!!! :) Around The Divison CristinaFC3 - vs - Daverules FC 2 - 1 The new guy almost pulled off the upset. I play CristinaFC3 next week which will be my first game vs a non new team in a month. But CristinaFC3 just lost they're second best midfielder for 4 weeks and only put up a weak midfield at home. So my back-ups should still be able to beat them. north crowley - vs - Witches 0 - 6 Easy win this week for The Witches. But next week will be a huge game for him when he takes on final Fantasy on the road. And he's already started preparing for it. He sold a 18 year old excellent forward for 510k and he's bought 2 solid defenders to help boost his defense. I gotta say im surprised that he only keeps buying solids. With a million dollar youth pull this year and selling this guy, he's only bought a bunch of solid players. Im pretty much done buying solid players. Need to start thinking about buying excellents and formidables now. US Rangers - vs - Final Fantasy 1 - 4 Another easy win for Final Fantasy. But next weeks game is huge. IF they win next week they lock up at least second place in the divison. And the only way they won't get first place is if i beat them the last game of the season and have a better goal difference.

Season 2 - FOFC Cup - Round 3
Concord Assassins - vs - Maniacal Misfitz Sweet 16 baby!!! Im looking for my 3rd straight upset in the FOFC cup but this one won't be so easy. Concord trains goalie's so he can use his whole starting team in friendly's if he wants (except his starting goal) and get full training. Our A-teams NSI ratings are extremely close. I have a slightly better midfield and attack. He has a much better defense. But he does have home field advantage which should almost even our midfields out. It should be a hell of a game. Starters GK - Marcin Landowski Right Wingback - Ismael Ferreira da Silva (Defensive) Central Defender - Omar Nairn Left Wingback - Vilhelm 'Ströle' Skogby (Defensive) Right Winger - Andi Neiweiler (Offensive) Inner Midfielder 1 - Jakob Noer Mogensen (Defensive) Inner Midfielder 2 - Josef Eder (Offensive) Inner Midfielder 3 - Huey Miller Left Winger - Roy Hoekstra (Towards The Middle) Forward 1 - Abel Cano Forward 2 - Bill Wright Form is still pretty good. The only reall weakness i have is my CD and my goalie are both in inadequate form. So thats gonna hurt my defensive ratings some. But besides them im ok. Vilhelm 'Ströle' Skogby will get his second game with the starters and now he's bumped to passable form. Im hoping for a 3 star game out of him and hopfully a excellent defensive rating on his side. Everyone else is a usual starter. Players To Watch Vilhelm 'Ströle' Skogby - hoping for his first 3 star game with the squad. Jakob Noer Mogensen - got my first ever 3 1/2 star game last week and im hoping he does it again today. His form is the same so he'll probally get it. The Match 535 spectators had come to Concord Assassins Arena this cloudy day. Assassins tactics involved an interesting 2-5-3 combination. Lineup: Lindman - Kardel, Pettersson - Eriksson, Rodström, bin Mohamed, Dordea, Sebestyén - Zhong-Ming, Osman, Frid. Maniacal tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Landowski - Ferreira da Silv, Nairn, Skogby - Neiweiler, Miller, Noer Mogensen, Eder, Hoekstra - Cano, Wright. Assassins seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. Ding Zhong-Ming gave his Assassins the lead with 1 - 0, as he successfully challenged both the guests central defenders, then placed the ball unreachably at the goaltenders right post. Assassins appeared unsure on how to play. The visitors didn´t give in and after 22 minutes Andi Neiweiler got through the home sides central line of defense, rolling in the levelling goal to make it 1 - 1. Maniacal took the lead after 31 minutes with 1 - 2. Abel Cano placed the ball out of reach for the home sides keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. What ever got into Vilhelm 'Ströle' Skogby, the crowd mumbled, as he suddenly struck a cross pass through the own defense - ending up right in front of Assassins´s Woodrow Osman, who easily put the ball away for 2-2. The teams went for a half-time break at 2 - 2. The fortyfive minutes were dominated by Maniacal, with an impressive 58 percent possession of the ball. During the break Assassins´s coach went through the teams new tactics yet again. Brúnó Sebestyén gave his Assassins the lead with 3 - 2, as he successfully challenged both the guests central defenders, then placed the ball unreachably at the goaltenders right post. A couple of quick and successful challenges, followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area after 70 minutes might have resulted in another goal for Assassins. However, Marcin Landowski made a spectacular save. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. Ding Zhong-Ming squirmed himself through the central defense line in the 73rd minute, asserting the lead to 4 - 2. The structure of the game started to change as Assassins decided to pull back and meet their opponents in the defensive zone. In the 75:th minute Maniacals Vilhelm 'Ströle' Skogby received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. The player down was Petre Dordea. The Assassins bench looked worried a while but in the end he managed to get up. Assassins held the ball, with a clear 52 percent possession rate. Most important Assassins player was Stefan Pettersson. Nils Eriksson was a disappointment, however. Maniacal´s best player was Jakob Noer Mogensen. Roy Hoekstra on the other hand, had a terrible day.

I wasn't expecting a 2-5-3 and attacking down the middle. I would have played 2 CD's if i thought that was what he was gonna do. Also, he had a 50/50 chance of picking the right side to put his best defender on to match up vs my attacking winger and he did. I won possession by 8% in the first half, but my starters solid stamina hurt them as i lost possession in the second half by 2%. Despite the ratings, im pretty sure the home field advantage did me in. If i was at home my midfield would have completely dominated this game. But i was on the road and it didn't. Congratz to Concord for a great game and good luck to them in the rest of the cup. The Good Roy Hoekstra - He pulled his first ever 2 1/2 star game as a winger towards the middle. He's got to be close to solid PM. the Bad Jakob Noer Mogensen - Jakob didn't play bad, but he didn't get 3 1/2 stars again. Im a little surprise since his form is still solid and he has another week of PM training in him. But i guess he was a real high solid form before and now he's a lower solid form. Vilhelm 'Ströle' Skogby - Was a big disapointment today. His 'Unpredictable' skill gave up a goal and he only got 2 1/2 stars at wingback. Upnext, This weeks training update |

This is the week SI, i can feel it. Im gonna pull a 17 year old Solid PM with good secondarys so i can train him :) Bjorn already told me so! |

I thought you were supposed to get the good pull in week 16. |

Hell, I think at this point Havok would take a good youth pick in week 48 if they expanded the season to 48 weeks. ;) Havok- it's superstition, but it seems to work for me (then again what superstition doesn't work). Wait until game time on Sunday to do your pull for the week. Maybe what little good luck I have will rub off on you :D SI |
Masked: im just trying to be optimistic! Im thinking if i stay in a "Good' State of mind that good youth pulls will happen :)
SI: i'll try that this week, if it works it will be my new superstition aswell. SI & Masked: I need to get a friendly going with both of you guys. Im playing GE this week. Either one of you wanna play next weeK??? |
Havok has Bjorn in his basement awaiting the results of the YP. His fate will be determined by whether the double Excellent is in Set Peices and Stamina or in Playmaking and Passing.

Right now, I'm enjoying my visit to places unknown. However, if you bug me in chat- I might go along with your insidious friendly plot (although I may or may not be in there Wednesday with a test Thursday).

I sold Jed Neuman today for a 169k. I was hoping for around 200k so im a little disappointed. I also have a home game this week i expecting to sell-out so i'll have around 325k after tommarrow. Depending on how much i spend on a new trainee, i might get my new coach this week. We'll see.... This Weeks League Game For the first time in a long time i'm playing a established team. CristinaFC3 got they're team the same date i did 6 months ago. Every once and awhile we'll put up so pretty decent ratings but latley they've been slipping. He's never beaten me, i've won all 3 games we've played and it won't change tommarrow. CristinaFC3 Player rating and Team formation Midfield: weak - (4) Right Side Defence: solid - (7) Central Defence: solid - (7) Left Side Defence: weak - (4) Right Side Attack: solid - (7) Central Attack: solid - (7) Left Side Attack: passable - (6) NSI - 50 He's put up a passable midfield in great form at home before, but he's missing his number 2 middy so at best he'll get a weak midfield. I'll also be attacking the hell out of that left side defense. I'll also be PIC'ing. My Prediction 5 - 0 Win Upnext, This weeks league game and youth pull |
Youth Pull
The good news is this was probally my best youth pull ever. The bad news is he's still not every good. Denver Figueroa (16847433) 17 years, passable form A popular guy who is temperamental and honest. Has disastrous experience and passable leadership abilities. Speciality: Quick Nationality: USA Assessed value: 74 000 US$ Wage: 840 US$/week Owner: Maniacal Misfitz Warnings: (this information is not available while matches are in progress) Stamina: passable Goaltending: disastrous Playmaking: poor Passing: wretched Winger: solid Defending: weak Scoring: weak Set Pieces: weak He'll sell, but probally for not every much. Maybe a young winger trainer can train him up some. Since this was a decent pull, i'll wait till sunday to pull again next week. |
Season 2 - League Game - Round 10
Maniacal Misfitz - CristinaFC3 I finally get to play a team with a pulse today, Not that the last couple teams didn't have a pulse. But they were so new it was almost like playing a bot team. CristinaFC3 got they're team the same day i did 6 months ago. He's improved his team some and on a good day can get a Mid-50's NSI rating. Unfortunetly for him, that ain't good enough to even come close to beating the Mighty Misfitz!!!! Espically at home!!! I better shut up now, before i jinx myself :) Starters GK - Marcin Landowski Right Wingback - Naftali ben Aharon (Normal) Central Defender - Omar Nairn Left Wingback - Ismael Ferreira da Silva (Defensive) Right Winger - Andi Neiweiler (Offensive) Inner Midfielder 1 - Josef Eder (Offensive) Inner Midfielder 2 - Jakob Noer Mogensen (Defensive) Inner Midfielder 3 - Huey Miller Left Winger - Roy Hoekstra (Towards The Middle) Forward 1 - Abel Cano Forward 2 - Bill Wright All 3 of my midfielders are in solid form now, which is a freaking miricle. I might get my best midfield rating even, but i am picing so it will be close. Once again the only form problem i have is my defense. My goalie is down to inadequate form and Omar Narin is in inadequate form. So im not expecting any excellent ratings today. Also making his debu with the starters is future Misfitz coach Naftali ben Aharon. I'll be playing him normal at wingback on Andi's side and im expecting a hell of a right side attack rating. Im hoping my defense doesn't suffer to much. Players to Watch Josef Eder - Bumped to solid form on thurday and is getting close to excellent PM. Im hoping for his first 3 1/2 star game. Naftali ben Aharon - First game at passable form and with the starters. Hoping he adds a level to the attack and doesn't hurt the defense to much on that side. The Match 23000 spectators had come to Maniacal Misfitz Arena this cloudy day. People from all of Florida had joined up for the derby. Maniacal tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. They fielded: Landowski - ben Aharon, Nairn, Ferreira da Silv - Neiweiler, Miller, Noer Mogensen, Eder, Hoekstra - Cano, Wright. CristinaFC3 had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Pupi - Läfbrant, Dalström, Merrill - Haraldsson, Robert, Munson, Garland, Persson - Perales, Stokes. Maniacals Andi Neiweiler gave, after 22 minutes, the home team a 1 - 0 lead after an attack coming in from the right. Ned Stokes of CristinaFC3 received a yellow card in the 23rd minute for unsportsmanlike behaviour. In the games 25:th minute CristinaFC3´s Hĺkan Haraldsson fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee booked Hĺkan Haraldsson for taking a dive. 38 minutes into the game Roy Hoekstra could see that the opposing goaltender who was too far out. He managed to lob the ball past the keeper - but missed the goal. In the 40:th minute of the match the visitors central line of defence had to look on as Josef Eder dashed through, knocking home 2 - 0 for Maniacal. In the 43rd minute of the match the visitors central line of defence had to look on as Roy Hoekstra dashed through, knocking home 3 - 0 for Maniacal. Bill Wright of Maniacal received a yellow card in the 45:th minute for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Halftime score was 3 - 0. The fortyfive minutes were dominated by Maniacal, with an impressive 62 percent possession of the ball. In the 52nd minute Maniacal´s Bill Wright tried to nail the coffin shut, but the shot rebounded off the bar to fall behind the net. In the 54:th minute Maniacal put themselves up 4 - 0. The visitors defenders lost the ball to Abel Cano coming up from the left, who proceeded to cooly round the goaltender and knock the ball home. After this Maniacal lowered the tempo in order to concentrate on their defensive efforts. The referee showed Maniacals Omar Nairn the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. CristinaFC3 breathed new life into the game with an opportunity to reduce the score in the 67:th minute, but the home side´s defenders cleared the ball on the line, after a long shot coming in from the left, rebounding off the crossbar. After 73 minutes Andi Neiweiler put Maniacal ahead 5 - 0 as he rose to head in a hooked ball, the result of an effort from the right side. The fortyfive minutes were dominated by Maniacal, with an impressive 61 percent possession of the ball. Most important Maniacal player was Josef Eder. Roy Hoekstra on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating CristinaFC3 player was without a doubt Ned Robert. However, Pedro Perales made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 5 - 0 Goals Andi Neiweiler - 2 Josef Eder - 1 Roy Hoekstra - 1 Abel Cano - 1 Player Ratings GK - Marcin Landowski - **~ Right Wingback - Naftali ben Aharon - *** Central Defender - Omar Nairn - **~ Left Wingback - Ismael Ferreira da Silva - *** Right Winger - Andi Neiweiler - *** Inner Midfielder 1 - Josef Eder - ***~ Inner Midfielder 2 - Jakob Noer Mogensen - *** Inner Midfielder 3 - Huey Miller - *** Left Winger - Roy Hoekstra - **~ Forward 1 - Abel Cano - **~ Forward 2 - Bill Wright - *** Stars - 31.5 Team Ratings Maniacal Misfitz Player rating and Team formation Midfield: solid - (7) Right Side Defence: solid - (7) Central Defence: solid - (7) Left Side Defence: solid - (7) Right Side Attack: outstanding - (10) Central Attack: excellent - (8) Left Side Attack: inadequate - (5) NSI - 65 CristinaFC3 Player rating and Team formation Midfield: inadequate - (5) Right Side Defence: solid - (7) Central Defence: passable - (6) Left Side Defence: inadequate - (5) Right Side Attack: solid - (7) Central Attack: solid - (7) Left Side Attack: solid - (7) NSI - 54 Post Game Comments Oh so nice! Everything went as expected! 5-0 win and no injuries. Doesn't get much better then that. I picked up my first ever "Outstanding Rating". My right side attack got a nice boost from having Naftali ben Aharon playing normal on that side. Plus we still got a solid defensive rating on his side. So it looks like that 47k i spent on him was WELL worth it. Also, Josef did pull his first ever 3 1/2 star rating as expected. My midfield is really getting good. Random Misfitz Stats.......This was my second best midfield rating ever by a mear 2% and i PIC'ed. I've now won my last 6 league games by incrediable 37 - 2 goals margin. Granted my competion hasn't been all that great, but 2 of those games my back-ups were playing. The Good Josef Eder - Grabbed his first ever 3 1/2 star game and only the Misfitz second ever. Naftali ben Aharon - Played great has a "normal" wingback. Added a level of attack on the right side and still maintained a Solid defensive rating on the right side aswell. Andi Neiweiler - scored 2 goals and helped get my first ever outstsanding rating. The Bad Marcin Landowski - his drop in form lead to only 2 1/2 stars and no excellent defensive ratings. Around The League US Rangers - vs - The Minnesota SnowDrifts 2 - 2 Two of the newer teams squared off this week. The US Rangers will probally be the best team out of the bunch but they still need a couple midfielders. At least he got his first point of the season. Daverules FC - vs - north crowley 2 - 1 The other 2 new teams also played this week and it was pretty dam boring. But DaveRules FC did score in the 85th to win it. I guess thats kind of exciting? Final Fantasy - vs - Witches 3 - 1 The HUGE game in my divison this week and once again the Witches blew it :( I told johnny to MOTS this game but he thought he'd still win without a MOTS. FF's midfield was just to much for the Witches. I wanted The Witches to win this game actually cause if they did, and i ran the table i'd be in sole possession of first place. But now even if i run the table i'll have to have a better goal diff. then FF to win the divison. The divison is gonna come down to the last week. It should be interesting!

Update
2 big updates today..... First off, Since i sold 20 year old Jed Neumann on saturday, i've been looking for a new trainee. Since Jed was my best defensive Midfielder, i've been mainly looking for another defensive middy and i found one in a place i thought i never would... Torbjörn Jonasson (16573596) 17 years, passable form, healthy A pleasant guy who is calm and honest. Has disastrous experience and weak leadership abilities. Speciality: Unpredictable Nationality: Sverige Assessed value: 94 000 US$ Wage: 1 128 US$/week including 20% Bonus Owner: Maniacal Misfitz Warnings: 0 Stamina: inadequate Goaltending: disastrous Playmaking: passable Passing: poor Winger: weak Defending: passable Scoring: poor Set Pieces: poor Paided 142k Thats a pretty fair price considering where i bought him. Thats the first player i've bought in sweden since i grabed a 17 year old inadequate defender last season when i was training defending. Im also hoping he's somewhat close to solid PM. Jed had almost the same stats expect Jed had wretched passing and excellent PM, and he poped to solid PM at 123k. So my guess is Torbjörn will pop in about 3 weeks(i hope) :) New Coach The other big news is a got a new coach. I really needed a solid coach and now seemed like as good of a time as any to get one. Meet my new coach! Enrico Mauro Di Tomasso (7167952) 40 years, wretched form, healthy A solid coach who is fond of attacking A sympathetic guy who is balanced and upright. Has outstanding experience and poor leadership abilities. Nationality: Italia Assessed value: 0 US$ Wage: 600 US$/week including 20% Bonus Owner: Maniacal Misfitz Warnings: 0 Enrico is only temporary, at most he'll coach the Misfitz for 2 season. Then i'll make Naftali ben Aharon into a coach. I know the poor leadership is gonna hurt my TS some. But my former coach had inadequate leadership and my TS would always fall to Satisfied from POE before my next game. So i won't be losing much. These 2 moves put me about 125k in the whole and i have an away game next week. So i'll probally be in debt for a few weeks unless i somehow get a good youth pull. But it will be worth it in the long run...... |
Season 2 - Friendly Game - Round 10
Maniacal Misfitz - vs - Golden Eagles Since we are out of the FOFC cup, today we take on fellow FOFC'er and Misfitz supporter Goldeneagle and his Golden Eagles :) GE traines defense and usually runs a 5-4-1 or 4-5-1 in friendly's. So im expecting one hell of a boring game. But i did notice he's trying something sneaky on his old buddy Havok. It seems his 2 best midfeilders didn't play in his league game on sunday. I think he's gonna sneak them in on me today and try to beat the unbeatable Misfitz B-team!!! He's in for a rude awakening.... The Misfitz B-squad is unbeatable i tell ya!!! UNBEATABLE!!! Starters GK - Stanford Weiss Right Wingback - Naftali ben Aharon (Normal) Central Defender - Vilhelm 'Ströle' Skogby Left Wingback - Emanuel Miller (Defensive) Right Winger - Benton Minter (Offensive) Inner Midfielder 1 - Joaquim Neiva (Offensive) Inner Midfielder 2 - Torbjörn Jonasson (Defensive) Inner Midfielder 3 - Viktor Tolstoy Left Winger - Dolf de Bevere (Offensive) Forward 1 - Martin Devátý Forward 2 - Istvan Strobl The full B-team now, during my FOFC Cup run when i was playing my b-team in league games, i always stuck my best forward in to boost the attack. Now Istvan is back with the b-team. He pretty much sucks (passable/poor weak exp.) and in weak form. But he's my semi-clown so he serves his purpose. Today also marks the first game of my newest trainee Torbjörn Jonasson. I snatched him up for 142k on tuesday. He's got a good assessd value so im hoping he pops to solid PM quick. I don't expect much of a game out of him since he's only got inadequate stamina. But if he gets me 2 stars i'll be happy. Players To Watch Torbjörn Jonasson - first game with the squad, if he gets 2 stars im happy. Benton Minter - Benton is in solid form now for the first time in a really really long time. If he plays well today i might start him on sunday since i wanna score as much as possible since my divison might come down to goal difference. The Match 1302 spectators had come to Maniacal Misfitz Arena this cloudy day. Maniacal tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. They fielded: Weiss - ben Aharon, Skogby, Miller - Minter, Tolstoy, Neiva, Jonasson, de Bevere - Devátý, Strobl. Golden tactics involved an interesting 4-5-1 combination. Lineup: Schultz - Hatton, Silverman, Sinclair, Higgins - Fernández-Cuesta, Bengtsson, Thinggaard, Chu, Dogaru - Young. Maniacal tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but kept getting stuck on the visitors defenders. One of many good passes from Benton Minter at the wing was recieved and skillfully taken care of by Martin Devátý, scoring for Maniacal to 1 - 0. Some brilliant football from the visitors right wing resulted in a 24:th minute levelling of scores as Goldens Leonardo Chu equalised to 1 - 1. Golden had obvious problems in finding their positions. The teams went for a half-time break at 1 - 1. Maniacal, bringing the final ball possession rate to 55 percent, dominated the battle. The Golden players spent the half-time break getting a rerun of the teams tactical organization. After 53 minutes, Dolf de Bevere swiftly ran past Dan Hatton to put away the 2-1 goal. After an industrious effort down the middle Istvan Strobl could have closed the game off in the 74:th minute, but his finishing shot hit the post. After 74 minutes Dolf de Bevere made a speedy advance and dropped the ball to Martin Devátý who shuffled the ball past the keeper. The score was now 3 - 1. Golden had obvious problems in finding their positions. Naftali ben Aharon should probably have put his team up another goal in the 76:th minute, but some great goaltending by Jochen Schultz kept the visitors in the game. In the games 80:th minute Maniacal´s Vilhelm 'Ströle' Skogby fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee booked Vilhelm 'Ströle' Skogby for taking a dive. Maniacal held the ball, with a clear 54 percent possession rate. Maniacal´s best player was Naftali ben Aharon. However, Istvan Strobl made a disastrous appearance. Golden´s best player was Roger Bengtsson. However, Dan Hatton made a disastrous appearance.

He had 2 excellent PM's play which accounted for 71/2 stars!! Plus i had home field advantage which helped. I actually scored more then i thought i would vs that tough defense. But 2 of the goals were from Dolf's 'quick' skill. I freaking love quick wingers. Torbjörn played as expected in his debu, picked up 2 stars. I can live with that, also Benton Minter got his first ever 3 star game which came as a huge shock to be. He's been in solid form before, but this game he played 11% better then any game he's ever played. must be a very high solid form. The Good Benton Minter - if his form doesn't drop he'll play with the starters on sunday. He earned it today.... Torbjörn Jonasson - 2 1/2 stars in his first game with the team. He's got a bright furture ahead of him. Dolf de Bevere - player of the game. His quick skill account for a goal and an assist. That quick skill alone has gotten me 3 goals this year and 2 assists. Thats amazing.... The Bad Istvan Strobl - Istvan really stunk it up out there today. In weak for he managed only 1 1/2 stars. Upnext, This weeks training update |
Hey, I ran a new tactic :D
Good match. You would have seen the 5-4-1 but I had an injury to a defender. I did sneak a couple of A-teamers in there, since we had an easy league match on Sunday. Hey, I did not want their 'form' to fall. :D |
Im glad i didn't see the 5-4-1, i probally would have fallen asleep on my keyboard watching the game =)
