Soccer Manager: Australian Championship 330 Banter

[chrisuzz]

You were right CF Tiahgo is at 71% :)

Is it better to play a player at 80% fatigue with a rating of 80
OR
play a player with a rating of 78 with a fatigue of 100%

[BratPack]

I'd play the 78 guy. My rule of thumb is anything below 85-87 and they don't play. If they're 87 or above they can come off the bench and if they're over 90 they can start

I agree with BP, Less fatigue the better :). For my players, I try not to play anybody under 95% fatigue. 90% as a bare minimum.

Going in with a fairly weak defence and midfield. Jones has kept his spot in the lineup for his first league game ahead of Turnbull. If he conceeds though, we might not see him again for league matches for a long time ;).

The Round Up will be up sometime tommorrow evening as I have school :P.

[Boomz]

argh 1-1 all drsw but got a red card :(

[Capt Cunners]

I won 3-0, And how amazing has Ronaldo been picking up another Man of the Match.

[BratPack]

2-2 for Sydney. Rukastvya is finally off the mark and Proesenik scored again. He's a 17 year old from Chelsea and he's my number one goal scorer.

[CrowsFan]

A comfortable 2-1 victory for me. Now 3 points clear at the top :)
Also my bid for Sergio Canales from Real Madrid has been accepted. He is one of the hottest young talents in Spain at the moment and will be my highest ranked player to add to my already impressive forward set up

[BratPack]

HP did me a favor in our spanish league too. He beat third place so I'm 5 points clear in second

He's been on fire :o.

Well I am top ;). Good luck catching me this late in the comp :P. Have a well balanced squad with Saviola, Negredo and Huntelaar scoring and assisting each other :D. All have over 10 goals and 10 assists a piece 8).

Was hoping for a win but don't mind a draw. Top half of the table will do for me now.....

The Roundly Round Up, Round 6:

Sydney vs Victory - A few stars return to the Sydney lineup after last round but wasn't enough to lift them to the win. Both sides fought Valiantly to finish in a deadlocked, 2-2 draw. Game only heated up just before half time when Kakuta scored the first of his double. Sydney knew what they had to do after the half time break and fired back quickly in great fashion threw man of the match, Prosenik. 4 minutes later Kakuta put Victory ahead only to be equalised in the 69th minute by Rukavytsya. Each team picked up 1 injury a piece. Byun from Sydney pulled a claf and is out for 5 weeks. Will be sorely missed. Victory was hit worse with Williams likely to miss 6+ weeks with a gashed arm. This will really test both the teams depth down back.

Adelaide vs Roar - The Roar continued on there way clearly on top of the ladder with a solid 2-1 win. Only league defeat to date has been to GC in which they almost snatched the win. Jeffren and Sturridge scored early to let the Roar go into the half time break with a 2-0 lead. In the 60th minute, Adelaide got back into the game with a Baraja goal. But that was as close as it got. Sturridge was named man of the match in a good match. Roar maintained possession, however Adelaide took 7 more shots.

GC vs Glory - My personal pick for match of the round (unbiased). Very close possession game and there was plenty of shots firing keeping the crowd entertained. Only 2 of the 34 shots fired between both the teams managed to find the back of the net, and they were 2 minutes between each other. 54th minute saw Ferrante and a minute later was quickly nullified by Palanca who was the man of the match. It was unfortunate that the GC couldn't capatilise on the N'Diaye red card early in the second half. Twas a great game with the Glory players probably trumping the GC players on the day.

Fury vs Jets - Nobody expects much from the Jets this season. Their manager was handed the reins a few games in and hasn't been able to lift the side up in the league yet. Sitting at the bottom of the table and it shouldn't with the Fury standing tall in the 3-nil defeat. Powell and Busch scored in the first half and Cernak finished it off in the 82nd minute. The defender Nelson though was handed man of the match for his dominant display. Fury controlled possession and therefore the tempo of the game at which they played. No injuries to report out of the game which is a good sign.

Pheonix vs Heart - Picked as one of the pre matches of the round, wasn't as close as expected. Heart had a fairly easy time with the 3-0 win. Had 56% of the possession and had 17 shots on goal to 5. Ronalda has been on a streak lately. Scored the first goal and had a great all round game handing him the man of the match for the time this season. Hoffman scored 9 minutes later with a good goal. After the break Thompson put the cherry on top for the Heart's third goal. A special mention to Schwarzer who also had a good game blocking all 5 shots the Pheonix took.

End of round 6:
Kewell, Sturridge and Ronaldo top the goal scorers list with 4 goals a piece.
Ronaldo has clearly been the best performer over the first 6 rounds averaging a rating of 8.83 :o. Also leads with 3 man of the matches performances.
Keirrason tops the assists given with 4.

Nice write up as usual HP.
Will be looking forward to the weekends clash against Victory. Should be a tough test

[Justin Bieber]

Thanks.

I'm versing Hilly next round. As much as I want for him to bounce back, I want to smash my opponents :P. Aggressive orders from me 8).

[CrowsFan]

I really don't like teams who set their tackling orders to hard or aggressive! It just raises the chance of the opposition players getting injured

[Justin Bieber]

I don't like playing soft orders ::).

I'll stick to hard or normal then :'(. Until we get depth to our squads 8).

[CrowsFan]

Yeah I just stick to normal except the other day in the cup with Blackburn. We were playing against Liverpool who were 3rd in div 1 and we were 2nd in div 2. I set the orders to aggressive cos I hate liverpool haha. We won too
