Peow FC managed a 1-0 win over the 2nd placed side. Keeping my run up the table going. I am sitting in 10th place and have not lost in 4 games, the best form my team has shown all season I think. With 8 games to go I need 16 points to stay out of the relegation zone hopefully I fire up a few places.

Next match I face the 7th placed team.

Tactical innovation: going to try a 2-7-1 formation next match (more specifically a 2-3-2-2-1). I predict it to be the future of football.

Just a heads up, if you play 2 at the back you will be severely disadvantaged, the Match Engine is designed to give lots of chances to a team playing against a back 2 or less (for obvious reasons). I suggest playing 3 at the back to avoid this.

I beat the team at the top of the table 2-1 yesterday with an 87th minute winner! :D

This surprise result puts us 6 points clear of relegation.

Damn - I thought 2 at the back with a DM and wingbacks might work. I guess the guys that made the match engine just weren't ready for these sort of strokes of tactical genius... I will have a reshuffle of my line up then :(

Now 3-6-1/3-3-1-2-1. Much less exciting.

Much less disadvantageous.

For the last part of last season, I was playing a 0-8-2 (0-0-4-4-2) formation, and I was conceding very few goals. Then they fixed the bug where team with no defenders would have a brick wall keeper, and I started conceding 7 goals per game. Not good.

Well, seeing as you can't set the depth of your defense in the tactics you could argue that you were just playing 4-4-2 with a really high line!

1-0 loss for Peow FC but they have retained their spot at tenth in the league. Next match is also a tough one but hoping for some points to retain a mid-table position.

Recent win takes United 2 second on the table... Is back to back promotions in the picture?

That would be bloody impressive! Good luck! Think most of us 

are just happy to avoid relegation.

5-0!!! Beat thunder thighs - that's should seal the 1st division hopefully. 

Also, an exciting 3-3 draw against Sanchez afc. I equalized in the 94th minute! Am still undefeated in that division,but am something of a draw specialist and have only won 2 games and drawn 5!

WTF beats sky valley 3-0 so that should see me drop to 3rd sadly.

Right, gave in and just started a thread for the 2nd edition of the YF league. Will fill details in it as I figure out how...

Shift all future YF league discussion over there if you would be so kind.
