One Fine Day In The Middle Of The Night - A Football Manager Live Tale - Transfer new

[freddiw]

It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog​

After 100 Matches, 55 Wins, 29 Draws and an incredible 16 Defeats the Brundish Bulldogs are under 24 Hours away from the start of their first season.

General Game

- Start with 500,000(5 Million Approximately) transfer and 100,000 wage
- Must from that build a squad to take on other online managers.
- 1,000 Managers competing to be number one.
- Many Federations (like the English Premier League, Spanish La Liga, or the Italian Serie A.) these in the game are things like the XFA(Xtreme Football Association) AFA(Afternoon Football Association) and the MFA(Morning Football Association) just for examples.
- One real year is a month in the game.​

After starting with a plan to build a young team of fast and skillfull superstars, I was lured away buying, Tore Andre Flo, Patrick Berger, Jerzy Dudek and Radziski not to mention Sylvinio the older players the ones you may recognise. Overall however the side averages around 25 years and has an average speed of over 15.

Analysis of Squad

- Technically strong, playing a slow game holding the ball in midfield and using the wide men very well.
- Fast, especially strikers, giving them through balls which are leading to serious goal scoring.
- Defense is left open as trust left and right backs to cover the lone centre back.
- Playing Pereya at DM and as my most expensive player I have been seeing big things from him.
- Dudek in goal and solid as ever.​

The Results

So far the Bulldogs have gone incredibly well with most notable results being a 4-1 victory over Ex-Tractor Fan Town (Rated No.1 In the gameworld) and winning the Quick Sunday Cup (A 16 team knockout comp. Also currently in the semi finals of the 'Big Money Knockout' playing rivals Gesh United who we have met on many occasions. The prize for this comp is 240,000 which would give me the cash to buy a real fire power striker.

Association

Xtreme Football Association playing 60 games in a season (one 24 days) is going to be tough and looking for a top 5 finish if all goes to plan.

XFA Cup First Round

Starting the official season with a cup game against a top 100 side I was expecting to have to battle hard for a win and with 100 teams battling for the cup I was hoping and praying to get a result.

----------------Dudek----------------

Slyvinio---------Badilla---------Singlar

----Zhumaskallev----Godsmark----

Olsen--------------------------Radzinski

--------Steniart---Nworuh------​

This is my regular formation, hoping to play slow football and build up, indeed it worked and after 5 minutes we went 1-0 with Radzinski beating their last man before smashing it past the keeper. From here we went from strength to strength with pressure attacks and our finishing the only thing letting us down.

The rest of the match was ours and on 87 minutes Holub scored with his first touch putting us beyond reach after heading a cross from Olsen into the net. This had me celebrating and after a little imaginary celebration and acting out the goal in my room I went back to the screen to see another goal this time Olsen, a long shot from outside the box securing the match and sending us rocketing into the next round.

We will be playing either 'Monkey Rovers' who are ranked top 50 and are very strong or the unranked 'Celebrate' team who have never won a game. We both know who I want to win.

XFA Round 1 - Vs Ugauga

----------------Dudek----------------

Slyvinio---------Badilla---------Singlar

------------Zhumaskallev---------

Olsen--------------------------Radzinski

-----Steniart---Amoo--Nworuh------​

Big game for me and playing in my season opener I really wanted a win. The only change was giving Amoo a run out and playing 3 up front, this was to exploit a weak defense who had conceded 9 goals in 3 games.

The first half was competitive, both sides creating chances but again the finishing was the issue. Early in the game this is because the best players are low prem standard and the average is championship and below. Therefore the shooting is an issue but the overall standard capitalises this.

The after a few changes I went 1-0 up after 66 minutes when ugauga centre back headed into his own net to give us a perfect chance to win our season opener. The next 20 mins were mine dominating all corners and deserving 1 if not 2 goals, then in the third minute of injury time the worst possible thing happened. Margidean their left midfielder played a cheeky one two before slotting past Dudek and levelling the score in the last minute.

A dissapointing way to end but not that bad overall, a draw isn't shocking and considering my bad form(In friendlies, won 3/11 yesterday and lost the rest) I was happy with the result.

XFA Round 2 - Vs Ugauga

----------------Dudek----------------

Slyvinio---------Badilla---------Singlar

------------Zhumaskallev---------

Olsen--------------------------Radzinski

-----Steniart---Amoo--Nworuh------​

Same opponent same venue. You can challenge anyone at any time in your comp and so he challenged and I accepted. Same line up high confidence.

Not a long review for an incredibly boring match that had very little. I was on the back foot for most of the match but Dudek, Singlar and Badilla held tight and we didn't concede.

Then in the 75th Minute Weston went through the lot and chipped the keeper to score his first ever goal for the Bulldogs, the young winger produced a few flips in celebration and the side went crazy. Full Time 1-0 and 3 points to the champs

XFA Round 2 - Vs Ugauga

Same opposition origional starting line up.

----------------Dudek----------------

Slyvinio---------Badilla---------Singlar

----Zhumaskallev----Godsmark----

Olsen--------------------------Radzinski

--------Steniart---Nworuh------​

2-0 up 2-1 win simple. I started with Olsen scoring within 10 minutes and then Nworuh broke clean through after 22 to do what I though was secure the match. The rest of the game was boring as we were sitting back and their strikers were in-capable. We then conceded later on but I was never worried and we finished with a very good victory.

So 3 games 2 wins and 1 draw. Although against the same opposition we got some good news --- We are top, only 8 teams have played games and we dont have the best record yet we are no.1 whether it be the last time in the season or not I am still happy.

Just a list of top scorers (the end thing is goals, the one on the left of that is the value and the other value is their wage demand.

Game 4 vs Tclare United​

A solid performance with good football played throughout. Our defense held out and a clean sheet was awesome playing only 3 at the back. In the 87th minute Radzinski slotted home a penalty to give us victory. A good 3 points keeping us unbeaten and in good form.

Game 5 vs Standard ​

A dissapointing performance after such a good win against Tcalre playing against a top 100 side that hadn't lost in the league I knew it was going to be hard. Despite this I was playing my usual attacking football and looking to dominate the play. After 40 minutes they scored a run away counter attack goal and from there we had no chance. Despite numerous attacks and an all out siege on goal in the last 10 we could not finish so came away with nothing but a loss and I am just hoping the boys can sort it out before out next match.

Game 6 vs Fluffy Wascals​

Today was our day and despite another low scoring match the 19th minute finish from Steinart was enough to secure the 3 points. Overall a boring day against a solid opposition we came out hammered away and came away with a 1-0 victory 3 points.

Game 7 vs Paltaikos​

A good game overall but one I would rather forget. We were late to the ground and the boys just werent awake, the result, 4-0 down at the end of the first half and game over. After an absolute rollocking at half time we went all out and scored two goals (Radsinski and Nworuh) this meant a 4-2 defeat and although a dissapointing result I just wanted to forget about it and move on with life.

Game 8 vs Paltaikos​

Well our best result of the day, a 2-0 win and utter domination against the side we were just humiliated by. Olsen broke down the left win, skinned the last man and chipped the keeper to give us the lead and then pacey 18 year old african striker Nworuh burst onto a through ball, beat the keeper and slotted it into an empty net to win 2-0. Sensational performance and a great show of the boys character after such a dissapointing result in the last fixture.

Game 9 vs Paltaikos​

Well the third game against the opposition and a real run over. From the word go we were the better team and played short, simple football keeping the ball on the deck and going 4-1 up after 80 minutes with goals from Steinart, Rey, Olsen and Zhumaskaliev(an awesome free kick). They scored their second in the dying minutes but a 4-2 win was awesome and a sensational way to finish the matches against the opposition.

In this game the opposition commented on me saying
' You have an incredible side, and you are no.1 in the world.'

this brought a smile to my face and gave me full confidence ahead of the next game

Game 10 vs Fluffy Wascals​

Revenge as he called it and it sure was revenge, a 3-2 defeat after going 3-1 down at half time. We dominated the play but our defense was too weak conceding sloppy goals and failing miserably. Goals from Steinart and Zhumaskaliev were high points in an otherwise dissapointing match.

Game 11 vs Fluffy Wascals​

After another goal from Steniart and the opposition manager saying 'Thats some player you have got their' I dominated the whole match before conceding in the 83rd minute to tie 1-1. A dissapointing result but a point all the same, I suppose you have to take what you can.

Game 12 vs Standard​

1-1 plain a simple, a penalty from Singlar put us 1-0 before they levelled in the 51st minute. Overall a quite game and a point against a decent opposition that I really expect to beat next time we meet.

Game 13 vs Standard​

I got my chance and took it with a 2-1 victory in the most exciting game of the day. Steinart put us 1-0 up on the half hour mark with a long range shot sending me into a wild celebration which included screaming into my pillow for a number of minutes. Then in the 77th Lucas stood up to take a penalty and although sent the keeper the wrong way missed the goal in a John Terryesq performance. At the time it didnt matter but a minute later when they had levelled it with a counter attack the anger was beggining to build as I angrily threated Lucas with beating him, sacking him and having him assasinated. Then in the 96th minute he chipped the defense putting Holub home and giving us a sensational 2-1 victory a great way to end a great session of play.

The league table, good to be top :happy
The lower is goals with the larger numbers games played and the other being goals. Steinart up there is a pleasing site for me
