League Banter - The Matchday thread

A good 4-0 win over Hammertime2 with a slight tweak in formation.

Just picked up a great signing from the Youth Academy 3* with Potential 4.5*-5* Centre Back/Right :) Just what I needed!

Reserves won their game 2-0 too

Next up Trastvere at home, last time I played these guys was in the playoff upset where we scraped past with a 2-1 win against the odds.

Trastvere got their revenge by beating Los Halcones 2-1 at Gloria ave in front of close to 32,000 fans.

A red card to Monio Delfim early in the second half paved the way for Yusupov to score the winner in the 89th minute.

Comprehensive victory, 3-0 over BGoonerz. 6.1 rating for my newly signed defender, Melddahl with a goal and assist while my record signing, Bagg, scores against his former club, now with 2 goals and 2 assists in his first 3 games as a Whip.

Back into fourth now, where I want to be

Plagued by injuries at the moment and got some red cards now too so going to be tough early going for me this season.

I have purchased a few expensive but skilled defenders, so hoping that pays out over the seasons to come. Still need to improve my team overall, still have too many weak players on the books compared to teams I am playing.

had 10 shots cant beat this dam keeper....  1-1 draw atm

Lost my best CB so down to 10 against a good team, not going to be good.

8-0 smashing for my firsts against the trains b team.

ended up winning 3-2... i had 16 shots for my 3 goals he had 2 shots on target for two goals... 1 off target

did get my best player back though

1-0 win over the Trains last night, only goal was from a set piece via 19y/o academy recruit Brian Gale on debut, also picked up player of the match :)

A weak showing from the elite and reserves last night both with losses. But with five defenders out across the squad not a particularly surprising outcome.

Elite 0 - 4  Surge Thunder

huge match up tonight for my league - 1st v 2nd Kerepihi S.S are a relegated team and boast a number of good 4* players. I'm hoping I can beat them at home tonigh and get a good enough lead on them over the remainder of the season before the return fixture that it wonn't matter.

Good Luck.

I have my bogey team tonight (My last game with Leilei injured), ANE2 are a bottom dweller team in the league, but always seem to step up aganst us. I have won once in 6 attempts.

hate the bogey team clashes, thankfully this seaosn with the move of groups I got away form a couple of the tougher teams for me....

down 0-1 after 22, not happy

down 1-0 but good team. they are below me in the table though

yus! Chun Wei equalises at 77 mins

from 1st to third and back again......

and in typical nix fashion we take the lead late in the game 2-1 at 85

only to have the win ripped away in the 92nd - ended 2-2

And in typical Bogey team clash a 1-0 loss...during my 4 games without Leilei we scored 4 goals (all in one game)

wow you need to get him back on the field quick smart huh?

fortress at home 4 from 4

sadly 0-4 away

another big game tonight for my boys.....4th place - away game too

struggling at 30; 2-0 down. good new is that my 'b' team are beating 14th place 2-0, the 'b's are 15th

And Leilei returns from Injury and scores 2 before halftime. We lead 3-1

Leilei is ridiculous 

totally ridiculous, I'm down 3-0!!!! first loss, will put me second, 1 point off first

Dominant here but still 0-0, this is beginning to get annoying this season.

FFS down 1-0 despite dominating. No sponsor goals for me this year!

Late equaliser from my sub to make it 1-1, whew, not a completely shocking result in the end.

yep, 1-0 loss for me against Manukau. 

Need to get another LB, having 3x CB and 2x DM didn't quite make the cut.

2x home games this week should help that out :)

And his total is only 26 in 46 (League & Cup matches)

TV game at home tonight in the bigger stadium, cha-chinggg!

Sky Valley will be tough though.

BHB-waterballooners tonight at home so will be tough, have decided to keep my foreign omc and add the new kiwi guy to a 5 man midfield combination. I've dropped one of my lesser able full backs and gone with a 3-4-1-2 formation. Trying it out first time tonight.

1-0 at 37 vs bhb water ballooners, keeps me sitting 3rd at the moment

was up against 1st ranked Sky Valley at home last night, a good turnout and added TV money helped build the account.

opted to go more defensive and built a 5-2-3-0, only conceding once and bowing out with a 0-1 loss.

Injuries are all cleared up for the next match against B Manchester United

Finally something to cheer about, three goals in four minutes.

3-0 win last night keeps me 5th, 4 points off first. I have 8th place up next - they have some good players but in really off positions - pregame

Finally back on track with a 5-2 win. Bagg with five goals and four assists in eight games, only problem was Martinez, who scored twice, going down with another injury - three games out for him.

Story of my season, conceded a 92nd minute goal to draw 3-3, both teams having a player with a hat-trick

Looking at a 1-0 victory tonight as Leilei scores his 11th league goal of the season in just 10 games he has played.
