       Tonight, played 4 won 4, Gold Cup number 9 and 343 cleared.
       Got a bit lucky in the final, Sturridge made it 2-2 for me in
       the 90th minute, and the game ended 3-3 with the oppo missing at
       least 2 clear chances near the end of extra time. Took it 3-1 on
       penalties very lucky win, but i'll take it after yesterday's
       events!
       Next up, a 4222 featuring MLS, Galatasaray and the Portugese
       league. IF Defoe, SIF Garay and new addition IF Rojo in the
       team.

       New 4222 team is all ready to go and is shown on the second
       post. Still got a few winning squads to upload in the 1st post.
       Quite looking forward to using it. When I'm not too sure,
       depends on how bad the new bronze tourney is I suppose!

       Played 3 games last night, lost 3-2 with the 3421, the other
       team having 3 shots on goal, his keeper saving everything. Then
       played two games with the new 4222. Won the first match easily
       2-0 with goals from Yilmaz and IF Defoe, but could connect with
       the server after the match.
       Played a second match with the team and won 6-2 after extra
       time. Went crazy in the 2nd half of extra time, smashing in
       four.
       Have the 4231(2) team planned out. Leagues involved are Saudi,
       Brazil and Ukraine, IF's if I can raise the coins will be SIF
       Srna, SIF Thiago Neves and IF Pyatov.

       The game seemed to play horribly tonight. Terrible player
       switching, passes going nowhere near where they were aimed,
       general sluggishness.
       Played a bit more with the 4222. Don't really like the
       formation. The wide CAM's I don't like. They may as well be
       wingers, like the 442(2). Also my game doesn't seem suited to
       it. Not enough short passing options, although strangely I like
       the 442(2).
       With Yilmaz injured after a 2-0 defeat, I swopped him for Drogba
       who I had lying around in my club. He got 2 in a 3-2 win with IF
       Defoe getting the winner. The next match got a 4-2 win again a
       squad called Cheap Beasts. More like cheap pace! Went behind
       early but quickly equalised with a Drogba rocket. Straight away
       he subbed off Helton for Cech. He went ahead again when huntered
       Varela flew through my defence. The second half I crushed him
       with Inan and two IF Defoe goals, the second a rocket into the
       top corner that not even Cech was going to stop.
       I like the players I have in the 4222 but not the formation.
       Hopefully I can win it quick and move onto another formation.

       Got into one of those bad bad runs where you can't do anything
       right and you find (or the AI does) lots of very silly ways to
       concede.
       Have started playing with a 451 and things have picked up. A 6-1
       hammering of a 46 chem, random pace players team and a 7 goal
       demolition of Cech, Walker, Clichy, Kompany and Koscielny with
       Eto'o up front was the highlight. 4 goals between the 9th and
       19th minute with a 6 minute Pato hattrick in there as well. Also
       a brilliant move ended with a chip by 67 rated RB Tim Breauker
       over Cech was highly amusing.  ;D

       The 451 team is:
       Pato
       Ronaldinho - Seedorf
       Piazon - Janssen - Narsingh
       Baines - Distin - Heitinga - Breukers
       IF Howard
       May swap Heitinga with Ron Vlaar and then I just have to have a
       LCB and LB with a strong link which could make the defence
       stronger.
       Ronaldinho, Seedorf and Pato cause major problems in attack but
       it's the defence that worries me with this team, especially when
       Janssen, the CM despite being L/M decides he wants to play
       anywhere but CM! Always a problem with 451.

       interesting team TWS.
       What about swapping Janssen for Clasie and get De Vrij as second
       CB?

       [/quote]
       This would make 5 Eredivisie players and would break the 4 from
       two league, 3 from one rule, BUT thanks for this. Got me
       thinking and with Clasie in as CM I have come up with a way to
       make things better I think. Something like this:
       Pato
       Ronaldinho - Seedorf
       Osvaldo OR Fernandinho - Clasie - Narsingh
       Felipe Luis - SIF Godin - De Vrij - Breukers
       Courtois
       This looks much better defensively. IF Howard is dodgy, and
       Courtois and SIF Godin would make the defence stronger and I
       don't really like Lucas Piazon. Have used Fernandinho, the LW,
       before and liked him. Could also use Osvaldo there. Will try
       this.
       What are Clasie and De Vrij like? My only worry with Clasie is
       his lack of high but his perfect link with De Vrij is very
       important.

       sorry missed the 4 leagues thingy  ;D
       Clasie is a bit like Alonso but with lower stats. Indeed he is
       short but his passing is spot on. De Vrij is only 76 rated but
       has high 70 stats on the most important things. Next to Godin
       would be an interesting duo
