So, group of death? 3 or 4 i think
(edited)

I think it's a bit unfair that Superfly get a shot at promotion and not Nin or welchy.

I doesn't matter cause i'd beat ye anway but you see my point.

Superfly are a bot team now by the way.

My forwards let me down at pretty much every point this season. I think i had 35+ shots to their 10 and they beat me 2-1 on aggregate. When they havent been useless they've been injured.

Bot teams will fall pretty quickly. 3 orso seasons ago, daemons was a good team that bot-ified in the ML in USA. I just beat them 12-0.

Oh FFS >:( I ahd all the play and shots, hit the post and crosser. They get one om target and it goes in. Robbed

Last night of the season, and unless theres a massive upset, looks like you'll be joining me for another season Nin

I expect Superfly will remain with us as well. Their form has dropped far enough now for them to be easily beatable.
Good luck to those in division 2 tonight. The sooner you join us the better.

hi ^^

I'm going to help you newbies out here because you need to be shown why the default tactics are bad and you shouldn't use them. I want you to promote and by using the default it's entirely up to luck.

This first picture should show what is basically a two man defence. Not only are they not in line but if you put two forwards down the red line, it will get ripped apart. This a stupid formation because the two other defenders (Whenham and Deegan) could easily stop this problem by being placed on that back line instead of being advanced.

The only thing worse than the above formation is this one

This is a 1 man defence. 2 forwards either side of that lone defender and you might as well forget about ever getting anywhere in this game. Again the wide backs could intervene if they werent so far away.
With both of these formations the forwards are also too far back. They should be up by the red line at minimum.

Someone posted a link to a video of how the tactic editor works. Take a look and design your own because it doesnt matter how good your team is, if you use the default you're only 50/50 to win against even the worst team.

I'm just lucky that the First Divisions are so bad at the minute. I seem to have made every mistake in the book and still ended up 3rd.

That advice should be quite useful next season.

At least you're experimenting with it though, even if it goes badly it's still a better option.

ey nin! what do you think about my tactic??

Defensively it's great. I cant see you scoring many against better teams though.

it was only to this matches, now, i'm doing a new tactic ;).


it's a secret. tssssss xD ;)
