Lost the playoff on penalties so I will be dropping down a division. Hopefully I can get a solid team next season so I can bounce straight back up!

Woot!

I open the season up at Home at The Bush against the Fafe!


Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.


Phoenix fans. We have to win them over one fan at a time.

AND the Steam Engines are up against Peow FC for their second match, while the Trains take on the Falcons in their second match. It's YF vs YF everywhere I look!

I'm a long way off the Premier League tbh.

Three for me, and two for them.

A premier league win would improve my mood dramatically.

 2-0 up after dominating the first half...Sounds a bit too familier

I'd take a win, getting beaten by a team with less capable players playin defensively at yet they have had more shots on goal than me?

 Eddie Moir completed his hattrick and we are up 3-0 now!

27 Feb 10:12 · edited 27 Feb 10:14 · History

4-1 loss despite the fact that it was an even game.

NOT the news I wanted! 

I don't think my goalkeeper is good enough for this level yet, my former number one retired at the end of last season. One season too soon for my liking.

3-0 Victory just the start I was looking for. Exciting home game up against the Steam Engines next.

27 Feb 18:15

The Trains Smashed the Fafe 0 - 3 away, and the Steam Engines came back from a goal down to draw 1 - 1 at home. Morale is high at Homebush Road.

That was an unexpected caning, well not so unexpected with my top keeper & central defender options injured (But was hopeful), got both of them back, but lost my other DC for 4 games instead). Think I might need to do some work on my team for this season.

27 Feb 20:21

wow the lads did better than I'd expected, 5-2 to the Falcons at home, 26,227 present at the newly expanded 28,000 seater Gloria Ave Park stadium.

Next round is away v The Trains in 4th.  Is this a TV $ match?

Seems likely, 4 vs. 1. I am looking forward to The Bush selling out it's 30,000 seat capacity too.

Disappointing 0-0 result.  Something I better get used to though with the sale (hopefully they sold) of some of my more experienced players.

28 Feb 02:37

2-1 win against a good team! My main man Martinez opened the scoring after two minutes, only for us to concede after four, but Martinez popped up again to secure the win! Awesome start to the season. 

28 Feb 02:51

Something I haven't done yet - but make sure you all set your league goals for the season for your sponsership money.  Think they usually give you a week or so to complete.

28 Feb 03:06

done, although I'm considering dropping my expectations given the first result

28 Feb 03:19

Yeah, think mine will be very low! Don't expect it to be a very happy season for me. My side isn't quite PL standard, especially the goalkeeper.

Question Tegal, what's with all the 36 year olds in your B team? Are you just not firing them so you have enough kiwi players to fill the B team? I'm amazed at how old they can go!

28 Feb 04:53

Yeah i tend to just leave them. As they only reappear again when my B team numbers dwindle (it fluctuates a lot)

Solid 2-1 win first up against a good team. It's slow, but it's progress... now I'm too scared to tinker - haha!

E + R + O

28 Feb 20:54

I'm trying something new for tonights game, gotta get some attack going, so far my games seem to be played very defensively no matter how attacking I ask the guys to play - hopefully a 3 - 5 - 2 shape will change that. Need to sign the 3-4 star striker I've targetted soon.

I have so much money.

We will never fully decide who has won the football.

01 Mar 03:43

I only have 90mill haha. My strategy is a very tight one in terms of money, and a long term strategy. I'm constantly walking a financial tightrope, and only buy for the future (whether its to sell on, or a cheap future starter, depending on age of current first teamers in that position when they become just about good enough)

 I see they've cut interest rate and increased the fee of selling? The transfer market is still absolutely terrible imo..

 well the new formation is working, my lads are winning but only just! things have got to improve or I could be in deep trouble this season

Miserable start to the season continues. 6-0 loss in premier league and 2-0 loss in lowest Australian league.

 How do you see attendance now with the new match viewer? It's so buggy :\

01 Mar 13:05

Yeah it says "will be announced at halftime" even after the game. Pretty annoying.
