V.88 was the best Div V series by quite a long way in the first week. It dropped a bit this week, but still in the top 10. The team that got demoted spent over $20m building up his team, and he has become one of the top few teams in Div V. Just my luck really, the team that promoted was regularly rated in the top 10 and the team that replaces him is even stronger. #-o

And to improve V.88 even further, I just bought a formidable playmaker just in time for my cup game this week.

How'd everyone go in their Cup games :?: I won mine 5-0 but had a pretty strong team on the field so I'm not reading into it till I play some stronger opposition!

Stikeforce let me know he's out if anyone wants a friendly with him next week!

I've sent him a challenge amigo, can you let him know.

I missed my game against Strikeforce in the LU League, due to honeymoon commitments and so lost in a 5-0 walkover.

I want revenge. ;-)

I won my cup game 3-0.

It's going to be an interesting week for me. The team I play in the league and the one I play in the cup both have better midfields than myself, but my defence and attack is better. So it's counter-attack for me. I'm still trying to make up my mind whether to try to win both and mix my established defenders with my young trainees in both games (and risk losing both), or put my best ones out in the cup to try to give myself the best possible chance of getting through to the next round, but virtually give away the league game.

Half-time update - my 5-3-2 formation is working great so far, I've had three chances (including two counter-attacks) while my opponent hasn't had any chances worth writing in the match report. However, the same damn striker has hit all three of my chances over the bar. :evil: 0-0 after 53 minutes.

My new winger that I bought two days ago for almost 500k just got injured. :(

Ended up winning 1-0 in a match that I didn't think I would win. \\:D/ That's my 5th clean sheet in 6 games this season, my 5 man defence is working better than I ever expected.

The bad news to come out of the match is that my injured winger is out for 5 weeks. #-o

So how did everyone else go today?

A 5-0 cruise away from home 4 me...3 for 3 so far - 6 in a row including cup games...training going along nicely, and getting some OK youth pulls lately to keep the coffers ticking over - Lookin' good for III so far! :)

Yeah I'm sitting on top of the table with a 4-0 victory but I was relegated from last season so I guess my team might become the proverbial yoyo unless I can stay a while in Div IV

Bah, I lost my cup match by penalties. I guess that's the risk you take when you have a bunch of inexperienced players in the team. #-o The good news is that I've still only allowed one regular goal in all season, along with 3 set piece goals.

It appears that there is only one team from here still in the cup. And surprise surprise, it's Dog-E. :shock: :lol: Once he's eventually knocked out we can play the final round of the LU Cup.

I hardly get on here but congrats to Dog_E for winning, you must have a pretty good side there, mine is just getting flogged in those cup games but I'm doing ok in my league.

i'm coming 2nd on goal difference. theres a team in my comp who hasnt fielded a side yet this season, and the guy above me already got his walkover game!

i beat the relegated team in the first round 3-2. havent conceded a goal since and won two games 5-0.

i reckon i've got the best team in my league, but we'll see i spose.

my money situation is going pretty well, if i can get a big crowd every second week i might be able to start making investments again!. probably wait till i'm totally back in the black till i buy another player, which probably wont be till about the last couple weeks of the season. but ahh well. i'm travelling along nicely.

Stuffed up my orders and I'm out of the cup. Stupid mistake. I hope to take out my anger on the player market by buying a quality midfielder.

Who am I due to play in the LU Cup? I need a friendly.
