National Cup Season 32 - Round 3 - Page 2

Won 3-1 and got nice extra 200K in ticket sales. Next round also looks rather promising since my chances at home are not that bad against a division IV defender trainer who can make only up to inadequate midfield on away matches.

Won 5-1 playing normal with my A team

I'll probably loose next round since I need my A team on the field on sunday for league play.

meh...I meant to change it to pressing but the kids demanded attention. no big deal. If I would have survived another round then the loss would have been greater

Thanks yennek! This is my first trip to round four. I play a division III guy and will likely be killed but like akots said.. it is nice to have the ticket receipts..

I got well lucky and scraped through my 3rd round game. The team I played wasn't too good but I fielded a weakened team and had an inner midfielder sent off after 17 minutes, luckily I managed to hold out to win 3-2 though.

I've just bought two new titanic inners recently. Partnering them with my Supernatural inner I'm hoping to be able to PIC and get a formidable midfield rating for my next Cup match. My opponant has a pretty good team though. I'm expecting him to get ratings something like this ...

Ravensgate
Player rating and team formation
Team Attitude: (Hidden)
Tactic: Normal
Tactic skill: (no tactic)

Midfield: excellent (high)
Right Defence: passable (very high)
Central Defence: solid (very low)
Left Defence: solid (very low)
Right Attack: poor (very low)
Central Attack: inadequate (high)
Left Attack: poor (very low)

Hopefully I can pull off a win though and make it to round 5, which I don't think I've ever managed before.

GREAT JOB MISTFIT!

You actually WON! And the reward is ... playing a div II team.

Of and I see English Brit trashed his opponent. The Cup really srats for me next week, I've been winning easy games for the first 4 rounds by playing mostly for training and not performance but since next week is the real deal.

Good luck to all of you.

In round 4, I was leading 2:0 and should have probably won but then hattrick gods interfered and two of the Chemists players were sent off with red cards, while one of these was actually calm and honest and never ever had any problems with rule violation. Then, I've lost in the overtime.

Round 4 was new for me...Round 5 is too...

I was playing a div V team who seems to not invest much time to the opponent.
He played the expected 3-4-3 (even with pressing), his defense is quite strong.

I played my best midfielders, as I did win on saturday with my second best. I just sacrificed one training spot for that.
And I played my mythical set pieces player (future coach, he is bad everywhere else)
That payed off vs his strong defense.

I had 66% posession and thus he had almost no normal chances. Scored 1 side goal, 1 free kick, 1 penalty...

And off to round 5 I am...
