His opponents wing attacks are by far his weakest area because one of his wingers is used an extra inner midfielder and the other is being played as an extra central defender.

What's the best way of exploiting that?

Not sure really. I think its just a matter of trying to find a way to penetrate his defense since he'll win the midfield anyway. How about 2 wingers offensive with 2 forwards towards wing? and Attacking on the wings?

EDIT: Actually i had another look. There really isn't much difference between the midfield as i first thought. Could be a case of using Hattrick Organiser to find out the best formation and tactics to play to give the best possible chance of winning.

Could be, didn't think of that.

Won 7-0 away on a PIC, my newish striker got a hattrick (my first ever!) and am 2 points clear in 3rd position. Play top team this week which will most likely be a huge loss, but you never know.

How did the Pyrotechnics go this week mate? Is promotion on the horizon?

Good result!

Unfortunately not. :( I lost 4-1 to the team in 1st. Although i'm not all that bothered to be honest, i did offer to PIC against him cause he did mention he wanted to promote, whilst i'm happy to stay in the division i'm in for another season or 2 at the most.

At the moment you're below the promotion line on goal difference. You'll need to win your last two matches and hope that the cutoff is less than 39 points to avoid the qualifer and go up automatically.

The promotion line keeps updating late, so every week i think i am above it and then later in the week realise i am not! :mad: The "last updated on ..." obviously updates before the actual update happens, if you follow me.

Anyway, i am still getting closer to it, and think i am a good chance of finishing on top of it. I have mixed feelings though, after another full season in this series (with the winning and big crowds that would come with it) i think i would be ready to have a good crack at surviving in IV. So if i win the league but don't go up i won't be too disappointed.

I know it is only early days but I am pretty happy atm with my game, up 4-0 from 4 chances against the top team in my league (who has players WAY better than mine) He is counter-attacking but being destroyed since another of my IM's popped to excellent last update.

EDIT

Ended up winning 7-0, my newish striker (passable score / passable passing) who got a hattrick last week scored 5 today, one more match left should get top 3 in the league.

I drew 2-2 and am now presumably out of contention for direct promotion to div IV. :(

I just checked Organizer using only this game in the analyser, and it predicted 53% chance of a 4 goal win(which in reality i think is 4 or more), with only 1% chance of drawing and 0% of losing. I was either extremely unlucky, or HO is pretty useless.

You were really unlucky and by rights should have smashed him but there has to be a random factor involved otherwise the game would be pointless.

Upsets happen in real life and they'll happen in this game.

I suppose his central attack was stronger than your central defence and his left attack was stronger than your right defence so there was always a possibility that if his chances fell in those areas that you would concede goals.

Still, I'd be pissed off if I had drawn that game in your position.
 
As usual there is a Hattrick End of Season Challenge taking place.

Last season we lost the battle for the Ashes against England. This time round we are competing against a proper football enemy in Uruguay.

Currently there are 81 teams from Oceania signed up and 92 from Uruguay so anyone who signs up now is guaranteed a spot.

The matches are played on the wednesday after the qualification matches so it won't effect your training.

To sign up go to the Oceania Hattrick conference.
 
If i am playing a 3 - 5- 2 and i play my wings as "extra inner midfield" instead of "play towards middle" i am still playing a 3-5-2?

ie - Can i play without wings and still maintain a 3-5-2 with it going all out of shape?

You can't play 4 or more central defenders, inner midfielders or forwards.

If you play both the wingers as extra inner midfielders you'll suffer confusion and lose training.

You can have your two inner midfielders, one of the wingers as an extra inner midfielder and the other winger as a wing towards middle. That's if you are trying to boost your midfield but the downside of that is that you'll have very weak wing attacks on the left and right side.

Good luck tomorrow. I see a draw or a win will get you promoted.

You're looking pretty good at the moment.

If he goes 2-1 up you'll have the same points and the same goal difference but you'll go up by virtue of having scored 1 more goal than him.
 
Congrats!

And well done to Dyertribe as well who has come from third to win his Division IV league.

And Pembleton who won his Division V league.

And everyone at FC Crouchzinho for finally moving out of Division VI! :thumbsu:

I finished 3rd. Had to beat 4th placed team to stay there and done the job 3-0. Although 4th placed team wasn't helped having his extra-terrestrial mid getting injured in last weeks league games forcing him to miss this week!

Congrats Broadmeadows FC and Crouchzinho FC!!
 
Congrats to the guys that got promotion.

Came from 2-0 down away from home to win 3-2, he pressed against me so I missed my first 5 chances in the 1st half, but when he tired & got a player sent off in the second half my midfielders put 3 away quickly, finished 3rd and am now eagerly awaiting my prize money.
 
and i finish undefeated for the season.:)

finished 9 points clear of 2nd in the end and won today 1-0.

up up up i go
 
Fell from 6th to 7th in the last match of the season - thus ruling out any cup participation next season.
I've learnt how hard it is to gain points when you train defence, but after playing my first full season, there is plenty of light at the end of the tunnel.

It is also good to see how well you guys have done this season and i hope to have a improved season after the break.

Just a few questions:

How long is the break?

If I train stamina throughout the break will that train all of my players (even the ones that don't play in matches)?

Thanks once again and good luck for the new season.

Fairly sure the break (before players age) is 2 weeks, then with the new season I am not so sure but think that there is a week before the cup games then the league games follow those.

Stamina trains every player so there is no need to organise a friendly, unless you want to try out new tactics / orders or need the cash boost.

EDIT - don't change to stamina until after the next training updates unless you don't want to train whatever you played for this week. Eg, you train defence so played 2 matches with 10 defenders total getting defence training, if you change to stamina before the next update this will be lost and the entire team will get stamina training instead.
