Bored rant...

I'm getting bored of FML at the minute and yes its because I can't seem to beat any semi decent teams.

I'm getting lots and lots of disallowed goals despite not changing my tactic and it never being an issue before. I seem to have randomly started to score a lot of goals via corners to the far post. Well not a lot of goals, cos I'm not creating a lot at the minute but of the goals I'm getting a good majority are from corners.

As I've stated before my squad is older with average age of 27. I should be getting consistent performances but its simply not happening. I have to play rubbish teams to get my morale up only to lose to a decent team and see it dive back down like I went and murdered the first born child of every squad member. Its so frustrating and I wonder whether the fact that I'm the only level 19 rep team in the GW is working against me? What I'm thinking is I'm expected to win games so only get small morale boosts when I do and massive morale drops when I don't. Nothing to back this up like so its probably just me but I can't seem to get things right and its so frustrating.

Only thing I can think to do is a formation change and to shake the squad up. Problem being my players are 'old' so won't sell, the market is dead and I have chuff all money. Good times! I'm just getting bored of logging in for the little time I have at the minute only to lose the majority of my games. I'm not gonna say its the most frustrated I've ever been cos I have a tendency to end up playing crap but I'm getting to the stage where I'm thinking is it worth logging in.

Whinge over, tune in soon for the next one!

Meh meh MEH

Well its turned into a bit of a boring season. I don't really know what it is but the team that got me to 2nd in the gameworld rankings last season and won me the Champions cup has turned into an average side this season. The only thing I can put my finger on is the fact that instead of buying a first teamer I ended up purchasing some younger players to flesh out the squad and help with injuries. My team is also getting older but there's only one player over 30 so it should basically be a team full of players at their peak and playing at a consistent level.

I've ended up finishing 5th in the first run of the DFA Premier league so i'm clinging onto the hope of progressing in the three decent cups i'm left in.

I had a lot of prize money to be paid in this season due to winning the champ cup but i dunno where it all seems to have went. Well if i'm truthful I do, I wasted it on some youth players and went rather far into the red. The young players I bought are decent but i don't know if they will ever be more than squad players, hence me considering the investment a bit of a waste! I'm going to be down drastically in prize money next season, maybe by as much as 2-3m however there's a few transfer installment deals that have now finished and I only have two large stadium payments to make.

Where to go from here? I don't know, the whole thing feels a bit stale at the minute. I think I might tread water until youth acadamy updates come in and then delve into the world of youth to freshen things up a bit. I won't be going all youth but i'll be looking to get going a decent youth side with the hope of uncovering some future first team players, should be possible with the coaching skills I have!
