Asunto: »FA Cup

A 21st minute red card to one of my best mids didn't help me tonight, and some awful finishing plus good goalkeeping had me thinking it was going to be one of those night......however won 3-2 right near the end. I was convinced it was going to extra-time or another silly error would gift them a winner. Relieved to get through but unless I go strong now in the cup I fear I wont get much further.

Quite a few red cards in this FA Cup round. Obvs, one of my players is on the list. I lost against a fully loaded Timisoara. My new gk did actually really well, considering.

There were some very high ratings in this round.

I noticed. Almost everyone was carrying a kitchen sink tonight. Kowal pulled a couple of muscles throwing it at Colne, two long injuries, one very important, their goalie.

Just in time for their league game against me.

Kowal next for me, tough match.....there are no easy games however tbh. I will now have to start fiddling with my team and in what games my trainees play.

I have noticed that Kowal doesn't have another keeper, not only that but he only has one sub so if he doesn't sign in then he will have 10 players and potentially no proper keeper.....I have also noticed while he has over 20 players a lot haven't played any matches since 2023 or 2024 which seems such a waste.

You'll still win!

I will probably go for training over winning again this next round though. When I get to the semi I will likely change my teams around, a lot depends upon Kowal logging on I guess as so far he hasn't for a week or so.

The biggest risk is always that non premier league standard pitch of theirs.

As an aside though, if a team sets a lineup of less than 10 players which they will be on, they'll be conceding a walkover according to the rules?

May have to keep an eye to see if they log in or not, as if they don't might throw my trainees into the starting lineup to maximise their training tomorrow.

Thats true, also the rubbish stadium so money wont be great either, Timisoara would have been ideal for the money lol

Good point, I think they will have 10 though as they have one sub and 2 injuries last match?

I don't think subs come on automaticaly?

As things stand it's a 9 player lineup with sub on bench.

Are you sure? I thought the subs replaced injuries automatically? I guess we will find out?

I'm not.

I'll probably have to start with my trainees and sub them off after 20 to be on the safe side.

Suns do auto swap pre game. Happens all the time in my side when I forget to switch out injured players !
