Gaming The SM RedCafe League

You should be hoping for a draw, my squad is eager to push on and get up into the playoffs. Since my new CB's have played in at the back I haven't let in a single goal yet :cool:

(2 matches). My new strikers are doing well too. Bring it on.

Well they better be in top form... they're taken on the 2nd most productive man in the league Elia (10 goals 13 assists) and Gomis who has scored 4 in his last 4! If you keep a clean sheet here... I'll tip my hat to you.

My defence is a bit leaky at the moment mind... I think selling Bonera disrupted their flow somewhat. I've conceded 6 goals in 4 games since his departure... before that, I had conceded 6 goals in 7 games. :nervous:

They've got £3.1M cash. As to how much they make/lose from home and away games you'd have to ask KM.

QPR has made all of one transfer since March, which was a swap. They didn't get far in either of the cups, so it's likely that QPR's financial situation is that they profit, but not by all that much. Probably making about 200k more on home matches then they lose on aways.
 
Cup Semi-final results

Peterborough United 0 - 2 Brighton and Hove Albion
Birmingham City 1 - 0 Preston North End

Cup Final fixture

Birmingham City - Brighton and Hove Albion

Congrats Birmingham and Brighton, unlucky PNE and Peterborough. You both did very well to make it this far.
 
Jaysus, Cup final decided already and we only 22 games into the campaign? Did any Div1 team actually field their strongest teams out of interest??
 
One cup I sacrificed due to me doing shit in the league at the time, other one I got knocked out by Wolves.

I did quite often, which badly affected my League form. Thankfully I got knocked out early on.
 
Yessss in the cup final! I think I'm probably the only one sacrificing league form for the cup, I have faith I can steer myself to stay in the league after the cup. Hope I win it.

Albert Adomah (82)
Franck Ribery (95)

They both fielded strong sides. I think I remember cider being angry at being knocked out and said it was due to him not fielding a strong side and underestimating his opponent or something like that.
 
Everton - Peterborough are quite similar, with Everton being slightly stronger. How the feck Chelsea managed to lose that with the difference in ratings is horrendous.
 
Gutted with the loss tonight, congrats to B&H Albion.

Need to bounce back and improve league form now, have to avoid the relegation zone like a rash!

Wondering why Preston played a RB rated 70 who played a 4 when there were over options? Jumar or Kebe could have played there?

I wonder why Preston played a flat 4-3-3 formation with 2 midfielders making runs. Lost possession 2 to 1.

Wondering why Taddei was played as a striker despite that not being a position he can particularly play and had 7 assists on the left wing.

I wonder why Foriestieri was taking all the set pieces, despite being the 4th-best attacking player in that squad.

It's been a fecking age since I've done anything like this. And even then, the system was wildly different to this.

Kebe is transfer banned until August. feck knows why.

Besides, promotion > all
 
:lol: It's like Joe Kinnear popping back into management. He's going to take time folks.
 
Excal I've decided to send back Kerzakhov. My injuries have all cleared up now and I was being a bit too greedy keeping him on. I'm sure they're loads of others out there who have more need for him. Thank you and good bye.
 
Bored at work this morning... so I knocked up this for anyone that's interested.
