who you playing, where are you on the ladder and what do you have to do to claim 1st 2nd 3rd or fight your way out of relegation, anyone changing there tactics to try in vein to win 10 nil or hold on and not concede any goals? in my league, i need a win by 4 nil or greater and hope the two sides above me lose by more than 3 goals lol, anyone got any killer tactics i can use to hit alot of goals, im playing the 2nd last side with the worst goal difference.

Woah, steady on mate, a lot of questions there. ;)

"who you playing"
AFC Muse, team third, just missing off second by goal difference.

"where are you on the ladder"
First place

"and what do you have to do to claim 1st 2nd 3rd"
Win or draw to stay top, lose and I'll finish third.

"anyone changing there tactics to try in vein to win 10 nil or hold on and not concede any goals?"
Might well make some changes, I would play for a draw but that's difficult in MZ plus I'd rather I won anyway. If I play for the win hopefully I'll get it. My team's strength lies in attack as my opponent should know so I'll have to hope my forwards score a lot!

"anyone got any killer tactics i can use to hit alot of goals, im playing the 2nd last side with the worst goal difference."
The 4-3-3 ;)

Mutt
19-09-2003, 04:51:PM
sorry for all the questions :p i have a 4 3 3 bu its a defensive one if that makes sense, i have to have defence because i have a goalie that welll cant keep lol.

19-09-2003, 06:01:PM

Mutt
19-09-2003, 06:05:PM

Rami
20-09-2003, 03:10:AM
"who you playing"
Longridge, placed 2nd in my league, lost to them 3-1 at at their ground before I "really" started playing MZ. I'm home so I'm expecting big attendence (around 9,500)

"where are you on the ladder"
First place

"and what do you have to do to claim 1st 2nd 3rd"
Nothing ;)

"anyone changing there tactics to try in vein to win 10 nil or hold on and not concede any goals?"
Nah, the team I'm playing is inactive.

To win (odds): RamerPool 1-10, draw 1-5, Longridge 1-5000 (H)

Should be a good win to round of a great season. UP THE POOL! (H)

Larry
20-09-2003, 03:37:AM
I second and i am playing the 1st placed team, one point above me. I need to win to win the league :)

Alistair
20-09-2003, 04:20:AM
"who you playing"
Port United FC, who I played in the first game in the season and came away with a 4-1 victory..

"where are you on the ladder"
First place

"and what do you have to do to claim 1st 2nd 3rd"
Nothing, I am guranteed to win the league, unless the second placed team has like a 12-0 victory :p

"anyone changing there tactics to try in vein to win 10 nil or hold on and not concede any goals?"
I'm probably going to field all my youth players to give them some experience as I'm virtually guranteed to win the league..

Mutt
21-09-2003, 04:25:AM

Alistair
21-09-2003, 07:33:AM
As Larry's gone, i'll post his result... He needed to win today to win his league, and he did it in style(H) Congratulations..

Hugo-45-Viana
21-09-2003, 07:43:AM
I'm going to try and clinch second place, what pisses me off is knowing that if first place loses I'll lose(the league) by only 1 point...:( :(

Alistair
21-09-2003, 08:46:AM
I won 2-0 away today, and most importantly I won the league.. I'm very pleased with my teams performance because since I was virtually guranteed to win the league before this match, I played my youth squad with some of my less experienced players to give them some valuable experience and game time...

jbaseley
21-09-2003, 10:34:AM
Just lost 3-1 to a team I should have beaten and the worst thing is if I had won I could have finished 3rd.:(

Hey mutt what did I tell ya?? I knew you would win the league. Like I said, Scottish Warriors would be the heroes. Us Scots are always the heroes! :)

As for the whole question thing, I can't remember them but I'll just say that I've won the league so a big win to round it off would be fab. Maybe get into the top 1500.

Mutt
21-09-2003, 03:40:PM
ha yeah i remember you saying.. smart ass.. u predicted it perfectly, i was so excited this morning.. didnt believe it.. :D but i won :D lol div 4 here i come... when does prize money and trophey arrive?

chris boston
21-09-2003, 03:41:PM
Congrats to everyone who won, I'm now in the top league and I hope I stay there... nice to see that with my third successive promotion, I will get the prize money to cover my off-season expenses, another trophy, and soon get the money together for a new player to improve my team further. :D

21-09-2003, 03:45:PM

Pontefract City
21-09-2003, 10:30:PM
I won 7-0 away from home, two main strikers grabbing hat-tricks and me captain Derick Henderson got the first. Fantastic striking, shame they never shot on target when I'm playing friendlies. I end the season with 10 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses

You get me wrong Ash, it's not cause of the result, it's cause I'm second and I got a team that could beat any other Swiss team :(

21-09-2003, 10:47:PM

And when you can beat the second place team 5-0 away from home... roll on div4 :mrpimp:

21-09-2003, 10:58:PM
Hey Ash I was just checking through the teams in my division and I noticed you bought one Norris Spenser for 300k from third placed team. Small 'mz' world ain't it:).

22-09-2003, 07:25:AM
just play heaps of friendlies, 1 after the other over the break.. you'll rake in a bit of money.

Hugo-45-Viana
22-09-2003, 07:28:AM
6,000 x 5 = 35,000

35,000 x 3 = 90,000+

BUT soon you add in the new stadium expenses because of my new facilities and it'll be well beyond 90,000

22-09-2003, 07:29:AM

NOW IM RICH! AAAAHAHAHAHA! $335K finances, baby! :crazyboy:

"We just had a bad game. We haven't had many bad league games in a long time, and something like this comes at such a critical point, and you're almost in disbelief. Our current expenses range near 90K a week, which I believe is a lot more then some sides in the MLS!! Quite simply, the budget isn't cutting it. We get 400 K to start we NEED to spend on a stadium which immediately takes away 200 K, then you need youth, and eventually you're bankrupt. And now with this 1 week break, we're LOSING about 130,000 in profit. What needs to be done, is we need ONE game a week where we can actually gain more as much money as in a league game. Such as a national cup. Because we NEED money, and some teams are being forced to sell star players for cash, and then they eventually go through the cash spending system and end up broke before seeing any backpay."

My official say on debt in MZ.

Also I have a player on sale for 400,000 K doubt he'll get sold.:)

BTW- Rony EXCELLENTO SIG MAN!!:D

rony31
22-09-2003, 08:10:AM
thanks :p (H)

I put my player up for 25K, and he got sold for 300K... if the guy you're selling is any good, just put him up for 50K, and keep him on the transfer list for as long as possible (5 days I think)... good chance you'll get way more than you wanted

Mutt
22-09-2003, 08:34:AM
i lost my keeper.. put him up for 500,000 AUD not expecting him to sell, and he did, so now im playing my 2 ball 17 yr old keeper :\

So far someone has bid at 400 K, so I'll still get some damn good money considering his age and value.
