but what is the differnence between

me dropping boateng(91) for maicon(89) to see if my team is strong enough without boateng

AND

me dropping lennon(90) and replacing him with Morata(87) because I was rtying to get the results I needed to stay up?

I'm managing my team and sometimes play lower rated players (shock horror) because I have faith in them doing a job

tbh I don't think there is a difference. It's your team in the end and you can do what you want but even still what your doing is different than dropping 89's and 90's and playing players in the low 80's against your mate.

Available for cash at season end. They'd do as cheap back up for some team I'm sure

Willow Murphy earned a draw with Estudiantes against Udinese Calcio.
The match ended 2 - 2 between Estudiantes and Udinese Calcio in their Division 3 fixture.
Roux and Zapata were amongst the goalscorers.

Considering super-sub Duvan Zapata put us 2-1 up with 3 minutes to go, it was a bit disappointing to draw that one!!

However, that point has effectively guaranteed us a play-off spot by virtue of stronger goal difference (10 goals) over Palmeiras.

I know I'm not going to win the play-off but still, I'm just delighted we managed to last to pace and not finish in 15th position like the last two seasons!

KERSPLAT!

A job well done Wilberto and it's not finished yet

PerrinV2

Flamengo were 5 games unbeaten,in good form going away to play the youths of Genoa but whats this,Eto is finally available to start,do I play him?....of course I do...get absolutely slaughtered by Genoa,Eto gets booked and ends up with the lowest rating in the game.

The Flamengo manager then issued this press release

Crowned champions of Division 4

Absolutely chuffed, obviously being first season playing the game, and taking over a team towards the start.

Will need to start looking at my squad to trim the fat and bring in some improvements when I stepup to Div3

Well done mate great feeling to get out of division 4:)

The Governor

A 6-1 win over Anderlecht puts Bremen back into third, joint 60 points with 2nd placed Malaga and 4th placed Flamengo.

The score has brought our goal difference up to the same as Malaga :eek: Real neck and neck stuff.

Another goal from Pirlo seals the Division 3 title to complete the double for Anzhi



Anzhi outclassed Beşiktaş JK and beat them 1 - 0 in their Division 3 fixture.
Pirlo was on the scoresheet for his side.

Just seen this wow I think im going to have to change my manager of the season vote and I think everyone else should too thats insane.

Get yourself into division 1 immediately I want to take you on:) ha

Ahh, but it's not just 20 unbeaten in the league is it?

it's also 25 in all comps, on the way to a League & Shield double, where I beat two of the top 10 in Div 1, who have two of the best managers in the game at their helm (Juventus & Dortmund) as well as the champions elect of Div 2 (Everton)

Lowest number of defeats across all 4 divisions
Highest Points total across all 4 divisions
Lowest goals conceded across all 4 divisions

I mean please don't call me arrogant, but I've done the double with a Div3 team (only 4 players at 90+) and I think I'm a special one.

You could win 20 leagues and theyd still hate mate i got alot of sly remarks last season aswell.

I think I'm 31 at the moment

Well done, Auxerre were my 1st team and have been keeping an eye on them since I left, they are in great form!
Also nice to see my other team Malaga recovering from the 12th place I left them in at the start of the season to be in with a strong shout of automatic promotion. The manager there (also a former Auxerre manager) has finally got them to perform, something that 3 former managers couldn't do!

Nobody has applied for Valencia yet, would like to stay with Anzhi but there's no money to be had.

Smallest capacity stadium in Div 3, so that will really hurt in Div 2.

Yawn.
27 games unbeaten and won the league at a canter with sporting and then saved Benfica from relegation, all in my first full season of playing and now in my second full season I'm a point off first place and automatic promotion with 2 games to go.

That was only Div 4 though

you're only winning in Div 3 though, I'm 1 point off the top in the most competitive league in the game world after saving them from relegation in the last handful of games of the season before.

You're 14 points ahead of 3rd, in my division if you took 14 points off of 1st they'd be 12th place.

KERSPLAT!

In your post above you applaud yourself for winning the league at a canter... Iago does it and it means nothing!? Strange logic there.

I countered his claim that "that was only Div 4" when I did what he's doing (only better).
