Actually managed to take a late lead against Frieburg. 3 minutes later they of course score an easy 1 on 1, and then score off a corner 2 minutes later. Now I'm losing, lol.

Part of the problem is definitely that they have De Bruyne and Gustavo...and then that's it. They have no CMs with high enough passing, first touch, etc ratings to facilitate consistent possession and incisive passing. Gustavo can't pass for shit and he's just a yellow card machine. I think Vierinha and Caligiuri are both below 10 in passing and neither are good shooting. They constantly give the ball away doing dumb shit.

Perisic is a little better but not enough to make up for my huge gaps. And I only had like $4m for transfers so I couldn't sign anyone useful.

Kella have you tried slowing the tempo down and playing more possession rather than pushing forward to score? Their shitty passing ratings probably mean you either need to slow down and make them make easy passes, or just Route 1 and pray.

Yup. I've tried everything, lol. Injuries aren't helping. Rodriguez is now out for a month and Gustavo was just out for 2 weeks before that.

The other thing is that for whatever reason olic can't score to save his life even on the easiest chances.

Sports Interactive confirmed for trolls in my mind. If I were a gaming company, I'd release an easily obtainable version with subtle coding changes to make the user's experience miserable. :laughing:

Sure you can play the game, but you aren't going to enjoy it.

Ok. Running games with little interaction while I do work since the board told me I need 11 points in 5 games anyway. Can't wait to get fired.

Tell Vierinha to stop shooting, what does he do? Take a ridiculous off balance shot at a terrible angle with 2 crossing options in the 4th minute.

Olic finally scores and he only did so because it was an open net after a fantastic save on a well placed free kick, lol

This is just super fucked up. Haven't scored more than 1 goal in a league game since Sept 14.

So at 2 points with 3 games left and needing 11 to secure my jerb, we fucking won, lol. 2 goals by CBs on corners. I am going to have Olic murdered, he is fucking terrible.

I picked up a CB who has ST listed as an alternate position just for that type of opportunity. Put Naldo in up front and set phasers to "cross." My favorite thing about playing the wide sprint/cross game is that it ends up in a ton of corners as well.

So since HBSC has no transfer money, we need to look into some free transfers. I had to cut a bunch of primadonnas who wanted big wages but were total shit players. You deserve MLS rookie wages, plebes, so go pound sand.

As the only requirement for this team is that we don't get relegated, I am primarily concerned with depth and a few slight upgrades and youth infusion, which I think I can do via free transfers.

Depth is looking good at:

GK
D (C) - Brooks gonna be a stud, can't wait to sell him for billions, and several of these guys can double as DMs
D/WB (L)
DM

And everything, really. This is a fairly deep squad simply by the fact that nobody is really great. Tons of average players who are kind of versatile, which means I can for the most part just pick up the best free transfers I can get.

Not totally sure why I can't find a tutor for Brooks. He's young enough, and I have some older players in his position....

Also, the cup could be wide open. Dortmund lost in the opening round to some 3rd division team on penalties.

Next game against high powered Schalke...DENIED! 1-1 draw. Should have leveled and then gone ahead about 3 times. Ronny hit the bar on a great driven shot at a narrow angle and Ramos was mysteriously whistled offside for no reason on a headed goal.

Ronny is a boss motherfucking CM tho. Great passing, cross, corner, shooting, and free kick stats. His stamina sucks which isn't surprising because he looks like he's on that Fat Ronaldo diet in his player pic.

Mainz have been apparently taken over by Mourinho. They are 3-0-0 with a GD of only 3, lol.

We were also pretty fucking resolute in the following game, a draw against Werder where we went down 2-0 early, both due to a comedy of errors on the back line (well, midfielders tracking back who can't defend). Ramos scored 2 in the 2nd half and has 5 or 6 already this season. I can't see selling him at deadline day, simply because I have no confidence the board would free it up to spend on another player.

Rodriguez to Man U is the big deal of deadline day so far.

One thing to note: Wolfsburg are awful, hence their firesale on Rodriguez. It wasn't just me, lol.

Wolfsburg falls 3-2 to HBSC, who parked the bus successfully (kinda) for 25 minutes (including 2 more than the 4th official indicated, asshole) to secure the victory.

HBSC sit just over halfway up the table, but are comfortably out of the relegation zone, much to the pleasure of management. Super Hans is slightly worried that Ramos' profligacy will attract too much attention in the off-season or mid-season window.

Unfortunately we've experienced a rash of injuries lately. Ronny is out for a month and Langkamp (starting CB opposite JAB) is also out for a month. There are marginally capable replacements but that combination is a huge blow.

We are getting positively dominated in possession every game. What's the deal? I am playing counter-attacking, direct to exploit Ramos' and my wingers' pace but this past game I had a 2-0 lead and spent the whole time trying to maintain possession and still ended up with only 37%.

I have a midfield with an average pass rating of 15. It doesn't make sense that we can't hold onto the ball when needed.

Try going to the Control shout, and have your guys play short (when you aren't counter-attacking) passes.

2 DMs, 2 wide mids, and that game in particular I played a playmaker in front of the deep DMs, so 5 solidly in midfield. Just Ramos up top

Won against Furth, 3-1 in the Pokal. Went down 1-0 early as one of my youngster cup match replacements made a horrible mistake letting a guy through on the wing. Schulz repaid that mistake by scoring one at an angle for himself after John Brooks scored off a corner, and Skjelbred added another when Schulz slipped him through late with a glorious laser to the upper corner to seal it.

Overall, fairly pleased. Furth are a decent 2nd division side so 3-1 against them while playing a lot of guys who haven't seen a lot of action (and 2 young CBs) was a good result.
