Asunto: »[Cup] S21 Australia Cup

I missed out on a coveted top 16 spot by 25 points in the end. Pretty annoying :( I think Roar will go out early, so I just need 1 upset...

1st round of the cup isn't too far away. I'm thinking I can win with just midfielders to give me an extra training week whilst resting key players for the match against vivski on Sunday.

Pace training it is and nobody misses out, well from my trainable players that I'm keeping this season :).

I do it every season mate, doesn't matter what I'm training

stamina training for me this time, besides, i want to see how the new ME performs with my A team
(editado)

fair enough, doubt you'll learn much though due to the likely weak opposition you'll be facing with gaps everywhere.

I'm probably most interested come Sunday :).

I have players who need stamina :(

My favourite supporter expectation so far:
Supporters come to eat popcorn, relax and watch a festival of goals from your team.

... and so they shall see! Attacking formation is picked and primed for inflicting humiliation.

Good thing I'm not playing at home as my stadium doesn't sell popcorn, so my supporters would feel pretty depressed when they show up expecting popcorn ;).

B-team and stamina training here...
Too busy with NT elections moderation and work to think about my own team at the moment so safe option it is...

Just noticed you can see the seat prices at other people's stadium... useful!

Sort of. You can't see the distribution of attendances across the stadium to be able to draw any conclusions accurately.

Had to have Richter injured 1st game. That's 2 weeks of training gone already :(. Least nothing else of any note happened. The stringing of passes out of my defensive midfield was something to watch.

Round 1 out the way, disappointing Richter misses out on some early quality training.

goddammit another red card... the ME really hates me :(

Good to see strikers actually pass in the ME now. I like it.

I like the change but I can't see how this is going to alter the usual tactic of 5-3-2 or 5-4-1. Just seems even more advantageous now to plug holes and hit on the counter.

and they somehow made defenders without the proper secondaries even more idiotic now. don't know how they managed to do that, always thought defenders were already at the lowest boundary of idiocy

Yeah but defenders should always require multi skill, otherwise it's a straight 4 season process of pace and defense and it's hard to break you down.
