Gaming The SM RedCafe League

Roma made an official announcement on their website so it's weird.

Ah well, hopefully they treat him well. From the pictures I've seen, lineup predictions are he'll be on one wing, Gervinho on the other and Ljajic on the bench.
 
I applied for West Ham. I know I'm pretty new so hope no one minds.

Accepted, welcome to the league.
Thanks!

Awww man, John Obi Mikel is my only 90+ rated player (just joined and I'm West Ham) and he's gone and got himself suspended. When there's only 4 games left and I'm 1 place off being in the promotion play-offs. Thanks, John.

Can't believe Liverpool still have a chance of going down, I had problems last year but not the squad at Barney's disposal!

:lol: Mental isn't it?

My next two games are against Hull and Liverpool. Given my team's form this season, I'm not really the side Barney wants to rely on to help him avoid relegation.

Bit sad I didn't go back to 3-5-2 earlier. Since I changed back to it a few games ago I've beaten Darlington, got a draw against Forest and beaten Spurs.
 
3 Games Left (thought there was only 2)

Nottingham Forest 69 Points
Everton (H) 14th
Man City (A) 5th
Newcastle (H) 6th

Fulham 67 Points
Reading (H) 10th
Aston Villa (A) 8th
Queen Park Rangers (H) 15th

Tottenham 62 Points
Bristol City (H) 20th
Everton (A) 14th
Man City (H) 5th

Still think Fulham will win it. Villa is a tricky fixture, both myself and Spurs dropped points against them. I've got 3 horrible fixtures though, I think I'll drop points in two of the games. Fulham have 11 wins in his last 15 games, While I've have 7 wins in the last 15.

So yeah, Fulham have to be favourites.
 
I really fecking hate concerns. If I hadn't been messing around trying to give game time to players I might have wrapped up promotion by now.

Same here, I'm trying to challenge for promotion and suddenly a bunch of people are unhappy about not being used. Weirdly though, one of them people is my goalie who's used every match...
My hopes for play-offs in Div2 are gone now with this draw. But I probably wrecked division title challenge for Rovers.
I (West Ham) just lost the best looking remaining fixture i had left, so I wouldn't worry just yet. You're only 1 point behind me, so if i've got any chance you have for sure. I still have Blackburn, Leicester and Watford left, and need a few points to scrape into the play-offs. Not gonna happen.

Anyone have any general tips for tactics? I've been using 4-3-2-1 simply because that seems to make best use of my highest rated players. However not knowing the game and how it works yet i don't really know if that's effective.

For us to have any chance, Sunderland or Leicester have got to lose atleast 2 and draw one.

True. But thinking about it, looking at the squads even at the bottom of league 1 i wouldn't stand a chance up there anyway.

I've scored 95 goals (with Adebayor getting 30 of them). I'll go into meltdown if I don't get promoted now
 
Good 1-0 win away in first leg of semi final in CL. fecked up front though, Suarez out and both Falcao and Costa get suspended for 2nd leg ffs
 
Looks like it's setup for an Arsenal v Forest showdown in the Europa Final. Well played @Varun

Dont have gold membership anymore Phil. Its you vs the AI. All I can hope is that it doesnt feck it up like my Fulham save where my AM plays mental formations and has me out of Europe in the group stages.
