I think nearly every person with a team plays 3-5-2.
I won 1-0 today PICing against a side that beat me twice last season and finished above me, plus I haven't spent a cent of my €2m!
I won 4-3 away to the side that finisshed above me last season! It is a big big win for me and I am now probably favourite to finish top cause a bot was reelegated to my league! Im not going for promotion though!
I lost 1st game of new league season against relegated team from last season. Lost 2-0 but dominated possession with 3-5-2 (he played 4-4-2) & hit post twice & had defender sent off at 1-0. Still including myself only 2 other promotion candidates & i have young team which will improve.
i lost 2:1 to a vastly better team in paper but i dominated the game and hit the post twice and had most of the possession.
On another note lads what is the best type of training that will improve your team and make you money.I train pm for last 1.5 seasons but maybe i will change to defending as have just bought 2 new excellent 18 yr old and 19yr old defenders.Is it worth it as looked at the transfer market and a defender with a formidable skill at defending would fetch at least 1 million plus.
I trained defending last season but think PM is better especially when playing 3-5-2 as all midfielders benefit. Defenders cheaper to purchase too.
Hows everyone doing this season?
Turning out a disaster for me. Dumped out of cup in round 3 & lost 2nd game in league & now 3 1st choice players injured including 2 defenders. Winger i bought last year sh!te & injured too much. Going to be long season :(
I got beat twice in a week by the best team in my league. I lost 3-0 at the weekend and lost to the same team in the cup 1-0. He should of got promoted last year but lost the last game on purpose cause he felt there was no point of going up a league if your not going to challenge for honours. He will win it this year so i'm hoping to do one better this year and finish 2nd.
Whats the crack with the Foot.ie league. Are all teams knocked out of the cup yet ?
This week is round 4 so i'd say have to wait until after round 5 before can think of starting that foot.ie cupQuote:

Im still in cup and top of my league! Happy Days! A bot was demoted to my league and the fella who came 2nd last season seems like he has quit the game:( so Ill win my league probably, very boring though!
Cocky fecker ha?:DQuote:

i totally underestimated his team and played an understrength team and PIC's it...concentrating on the league now
Did you do that in cup last season too? Obviously our clubs are different levels of the food chain but Cup is huge money spinner so i always play strongest team.Quote:

If he plays a strong one I am wasting my strong players as he'll beat me." and vice versa for the higher team and voila, you have some upsets.
yip thats it exactly Poor student, the beauty of the cup in the early rounds is guessing how long you can continue to not only play a bteam but also by PIC'ing it therefore gaining more team spirit which you'll need then when you MOTS it v the best team in the league
got caught out bad this season
Only 3 points between top 6 in my league now so looks like no automatic promotion for anyone but good scrap for 1st place. How everyone else doing?
4-2 win at home coming from 2 goals down. 3rd hattrick in 4 games. My investment in quality forwards is paying dividends even if leaving in too many goals. 1 point between top 4 teams in league.
Have we just given up on the foot.ie league/cup we had going on ? Maybe just cause i was kickin asss i wanted to finish it off.
OK add your name to this list & then we can arrange Foot.ie Cup.....?

You can put me down too. I haven't a clue about it really so whoever gets me then they're into the next round no bother:D :o
Put me down
Ill set up a cup if ye want! How many teams will we need?
i would play in it but.......i'm in that host ireland cup already:(
I lost in the league again but can probably snatch a playoff if other result go my way as top 4 in league very close.
My youth team has gone to Excellent now. Does this improve my chances of a better trainees?
Yeah but you can still get ****e trainees too!Quote:

I'm 3 points off top in 3rd place with top 2 meeting in last game but i can't finish top. I MOTS'd a couple of weeks back beating the top team & could lose the league for them.
Been good season for me with cash in the bank & vastly improved team after training. If i'm playing against same teams next season will have good chance at promotion.
I only got a team there a few weeks ago. I've been hammered in my first few games - got my first point and goal in a 1-1 draw on Sunday.
I took over a team in 2nd last spot and it looks like I'll be relegated.
alrite lads, I see that tournament never actually got started. We should maybe do one that will cover the end of season break.
Pete how long have you been playing ? were you ever promoted ?
This is my 3rd season i think and i'm gonna have my best finish hopefully. I normally finish 3rd but this year i think i might scrape 2nd. I'm joint 2nd but they are playing the league leaders this weekend so hopfully i can overtake them, although i did manage to beat the leaders 1-0 two weeks ago myself.
I got about 2.5 mil in the bank and still my main midfielders having ratings of playmaking outstanding (x2) and Brilliant. I'm still doing the 3-5-2 and training pm.
Im top of my league, a point ahead of second place who Im playing at home next Sunday. A bit like the City V Derry match!Quote:
