Soccer Manager: THE GOOD LEAGUE

Lord TSC

Nearly there...

RickyOFlaherty

6 out of 6 for Pats. Left the run too late - only can finish on 62 points and Ajax already have 63.

Ajax to win the GOOD League title ??? with an 86 rated goalkeeper ... must give all teams hope of winning it

Wilberto

Willow Murphy earned a draw with Ecuador against Poland.
The match ended 1 - 1 between Ecuador and Poland in their SMFA World Cup Qualifiers Group 8 fixture.
Valencia was on the scoresheet for his side.

One point ended up being enough to stay in second and a place in the World Cup due to Finland's capitulation at home to mighty Moldova!

It finished with Poland as group winners, ourselves in second, The Netherlands in third (:eek:), Finland in fourth, and Moldova in fifth.

Not a chance now :P

Drogheda United have now won 9 games in a row after beating Newcastle United setting a new club record.

After their result against Newcastle United, Drogheda United are now unbeaten in 18 games setting a new club record for most games unbeaten in a row.

10 points clear of third with only 15 left available 6 points from my last 5 games will see me up.

Willow Murphy steered Manchester City to victory against Liverpool.
Manchester City beat Liverpool 2 - 0 in their Division 1 fixture.
Gabi scored a goal and was later voted Man of the Match for his performance.
Traoré was also on the scoresheet for his side.

Gabi on his long awaited return from injury. He was clearly missed too previously. I'm glad to see that he's eager to make up for lost time!

Nice win .. Liverpool having a bit of a title collapse .. but the chasing pack not really capitalizing ...

tommycahir

up to 13th now in Div 2 with the last 3-2 win over Gala pushing me past the magical 40 point barrier.. Also on a decent run of form with 14 from last 18 available points..

Don't say that! I'm still harbouring hopes of Galatasaray bluffing and will actually not be able to afford him!! :pac:

ha .. would not be the first time that has happened! (not Gala bluffing .. rather teams having bids collapsing due to lack of funds after losing money in an away match)

Anyone willing to throw Swindon a bone ...

I've some cash to buy a 1/2 decent player

Lord TSC

Finally got Lyon into the playoff spots. 4 games left to stay in there including one against my old club Derry. This should be an interesting run in!

Lord TSC

(GT, you better get through the playoffs....this feud needs to continue :P)

GT_TDI_150

Congrats to Pompey and that crowd from Drogheda :P on automatic promotion from D3.


My unbeaten streak just started too late in the season ...

Swindon Town beat CSKA Moskva 2 - 1 in their Division 3 fixture.
Ljajić scored a goal and was later voted Man of the Match for his performance.
Yarmolenko was also on the scoresheet for his side.

I now find myself in that 3rd position which tends to signal players dissapointed with not having finished in the top2.

Bit of man management required ...

TheGunns

Moved into an automatic promotion spot with 3 games to go! Hopefully I can keep it

RickyOFlaherty

Valencia gig going - very nice squad on the cusp of division 1 too.

GT_TDI_150

Could do with Roma dropping out of the PlayOff places ... #formidablefrontline

Swindon Town outclassed Swansea City and beat them 3 - 2 in their Division 3 fixture.
Ljajić, Müller and Yarmolenko were amongst the goalscorers.

TheGunns

Still in the top 2, hoping I can seal a spot before the final matchday!

GT_TDI_150

Rested some of the lads with an eye on the play offs

The match ended 1 - 1 between Swindon Town and Genoa CFC in their Division 3 fixture.
Maggio had an impressive game and was voted Man of the Match.
Martins was on the scoresheet for his side.

Lord TSC

1-1 draw ends the win streak, but it wouldn't have made a difference anyway. 2nd place and 2nd Division.

Come on Swindon!

Lord TSC

After their result against AS Roma, Drogheda United are now unbeaten in 23 games setting a new club record for most games unbeaten in a row.

Ended Div 3 as I hope to continue into Div 2

GT_TDI_150

Thanks to Drogheda .... AS Roma didnt make the play-offs

It wont be easy but at least I wont be facing Cech, Gerrard, Drogba, Higuain, Tevez, Erickson, Xavi, El Sha... in the play-offs


My lads had a final run out pre-playoff....


Swindon Town outclassed Beşiktaş JK and thrashed them 5 - 0 in their Division 3 fixture.
Töre scored a goal and was later voted Man of the Match for his performance.
Kiltie and Izquierdo were also amongst the goalscorers.

Did what I can buddy. Up to you now. All CPU teams. :P

swoody

I am actually going to leave the league as not as much interest in it as with others however I did manage to keep Monaco in mid table position in Div 2 so am pretty happy with that.

TheGunns

Promoted! The dizzy heights of Division 3

Blondie919

How did Marcus Reus get the Golden Boot? He only scored 24 goals. Ante Vukusic scored 32 goals in Division 2.

Wilberto

Anyone selling a 90/91+ rated striker?

circadian

I'd be interested in a trade for a decent midfielder. Who are you managing?

Manchester City.

Day out at 'virtual Wembley' coming up ...

Swindon Town beat Southampton 3 - 1 in their Play-Off fixture.
Rondón scored a goal and was later voted Man of the Match for his performance.
Ljajić and Martins were also amongst the goalscorers.

Wilberto

Well, I managed to bag one 90 rated forward anyway:

Claudio PIZARRO has completed his move to Manchester City from Bayern München for 3,280,000

:pac: :pac:

So far it seems he has escaped any drop in ratings so hopefully he'll be 90 for all of next season, and if not then sure he was only 3m anyway!! :P

Lord TSC

Anyone got an 89+ goalkeeper for sale or loan?

GT_TDI_150

Hate these 'uncancelable' friendlies in the middle of the play-off...



AC Milan beat Bayern München 1 - 0 in their Division 2 fixture.
Mignolet had an impressive game and was voted Man of the Match.
Griezmann was on the scoresheet for his side.

Wilberto

I know it was only a friendly against QPR, but if he keeps this sort of form up for next season he's going to be the bargain of the century!!

Manchester City outclassed Queens Park Rangers and beat them 5 - 1 in a thrilling Friendly encounter.
Pizarro was impressive and scored a hat-trick, later being voted Man of the Match for his performance.
Valbuena was also on the scoresheet for his side.

Lord TSC

Drogheda United beat Internazionale 1 - 0 in their Friendly fixture.
Carvalho scored the winner for Drogheda United and was later voted Man of the Match for his performance.

Win against Div One team

Lord TSC

Delph and Crouch joining drogheda ahead of our venture into Div 2. Neither are superstars but they will bring the overall rating of my team up a bit and cheap enough options for me.

GT_TDI_150

Sooooo close!

Sweet, Delph with the +1 two days after I bought him

circadian

I'm missing my team when I log in!

GT_TDI_150

So with Adrien Silva and Bonaventura confirmed, an one more inbound @ Swindon, I'veonly a small budget left... I'm still looking to improve ... There is close to 5m left in my kitty...Anyone wanting to aid swindon in their promotion bid?
