I've got just two regular season games left, completely bossed out the first season tonight! Will try finish it early tomorrow morning!


How many goals did Harry Kewell get for you in the league? I'm 5 games in now and he already has 7 goals. His average rating is 8.90!

EDIT:

So, erm, is anyone else getting really high scoring games? Almost every game I play is ending up like 4-2 or 5-1. Not a bad thing mind, as I am winning them all*!

*Almost all of them

Season 1

Absolutely smashed the league, scoring goals for fun, pretty much exclusively between the front 3 of Harry Kewell, Jason Hoffman & Mate Dugandzic. Harry Kewell was completely the focus of my attacking tactical setup, and it shows as he scored 21 goals & had 22 assists in 27 games. We won the Series Finals as well with relative ease, again with Kewell bagging 4 goals in the 2 games. Overall a completely dominant season without having to do too much tinkering, got the tactics sorted in the first few games and never had to change them all season. Hopefully the second season goes as sucesfully as this one, but I somehow doubt that, what with Kewell getting a year older and the bloody wage cap meaning I will have to re-jig the squad around.

I've never played in Australia before, so I am looking forward to this leg. Great work so far guys, some interesting score lines!

I'm intrigued as to whether I will keep Michael Mifsud after his time with Coventry or not, so shall be an interesting game. Bit different to the front line at Benfica!

Just started the save, not sure how much I will get done this week as fighting a nasty case of food poisoning so might be quite behind others doing this challenge. Good luck to everyone, and let's hope someone can stop toneguy from running away with the lead after this challenge.

Emile Heskey had a gashed leg for the Jets game and missed it so he couldn't fuck me over.

Great season mate! great, loving the 8-4 win


Yeah, they started off with 3 players at the back and it just was not working for them as we scored 5 goals from 5 shots on goal in the first 35 minutes. They then put 4 at the back and scored 2 goals themselves before half-time. Second-half they came out with 3 at the back again and were obviously going all out attack to try and get back into it. Again, we scored another 3 quick goals and they followed up with 2 late goals. Crazy.

I'm going to play Michael Mifsud up top for some games and see how he fairs, so far he's made one substitute appearance. I did start with David Williams up top as the lone striker and started with six goals in the opening two games....he hasn't scored now in the last five games and needs to be dropped, not even onto the bench.

C'mon Mifsud, score against Adelaide you prick!

Started off really well than had a horrible run but ended the run with a great win! Heskey didn't score either! No goals for Harry Kewell though where is everyone playing him? Also the 4 games that I won Kisnorbo played in them all but he was injured for the 3 we lost which shows what a big player he is for me! Will try and get the season finished tomorrow

You'll be sacked within an hour.

And while I've mentioned that Poe'll be sacked within an hour, I should have been sacked after this shocking result.

Just a quick question. The AFC Champions League doesn't start till late-January/early-February, and the Final (if any of us get that far) is played over 2 legs in October/November.

This means that if we were to reach the latter stages of the AFC Champions League in our final season (2015-16), then those games would be after the 1st July 2016 cut-off mentioned in the original post. So we could be playing our 2016 AFC Champions League Final games just as the 4th season starts. Will it be possible to allow us to earn the points from any AFC CL success even if it goes past the July 2016 cut-off?

Like with the deadline set in the last one (6th April) I think its best we stick to the cut off date in game as well, its there for reason. But again its down to Cymro

Wow, cannot believe my luck. Just won the league again, but it was close! Tied for points with Wellington Phoenix who lost on the last day of the season, but we had superior GD! Thanks Adelaide for helping us out! Ill post up my season summary once the AFC Champions League for Season 2 is over because I have qualified from the Group Stages and have matches throughout the summer to play.
