indeed, plus the alerts and inbox icons are shown on my phone now! :thumbsup:

otherwise for the game, we are waiting for Takahiro still, but he has some account troubles which is why I decided to wait.
 
also, I don't think I will be able to fill everyone's calendar with teams, I filled two and it was incredibly time consuming. Therefore, I will mark the games as weeks so you can open this below and find who your team is playing in that week.

YOU CAN NO LONGER MAKE CHANGES TO YOUR TEAM UNTIL THE FIRST HALF ENDS.
 
first 4 games will be ahead like usual

Williamstown-Asia
Sorta boring game, but Williamstown had the edge imo.
First half ends 3-2
goals:
Benteke-14
Tiago-21
Fabregas-25

Messi-18
Messi-42


Nuneaton-Kia
Less boring, but not much less. Kia got a free kick during the game, failed to capitalise.
Half ends 3-1
Goals
Xavi Torres 17
Neves 25
Iturbe 28

Pjanic 22


Jawz-Sloths
here is something, no it's not Jawz leading 10-2, it's Sloths's incredible performance by leading 1-5!! Jawz took the early lead but immidiately 5 goals followed from the lazy squad. Action doesn't stop there, Dani Alves pulled up on his own with no assistance from the rival team (finally one injury like this :inlove:), Alcatraz subbed him.
Otherwise even with the 1-5 advantage they missed a lot of chances and so did jawz.
So half ends 1-5 for the 3rd time I say it.
Goals
Nani 5

Benzema 9
Villa 13
Benzema 23
Benzema 34
Villa 37


Last but not least
Forest-Yaren
I am speechless.. Bale is a faking machine. 0-5, with Bale being the only man to score a goal, he scored faking 5!
But I think this was a lucky one, Forest didn't use their chances wisely. It should've been a lot closer. Loftuscheek got a cheeky Yellow card reminding him of the Lotus team color yellow. :D (okay yeah that was a terrible pun)
Half ends 0-5
Goals
Bale 8
Bale 11
Bale 21
Bale 27
Bale 43

there will definetly be a game update before season 1 kicks off, but a very very small one, it's very much in finished condition. Only sponsor C will be altered a bit.

Can we have our first half now? ;)
you shouldn't have asked ;)

Yolo-Grip=borefest
yolo had a slight edge, but absolutely no goals. Emenike in min 44 for Grip makes it 0-1


Paitsio-Spurs
finally some action! Dszudszak goes down in min 9, replaced by Ayew per the request of @TTupsi (he told me position specific subs, anyone can do that btw ;))
Before that Bentaleb got a yellow card in an unrelated accident

but oh no.
Another injury, 2nd one for Kane, he goes down in min 40 and replaced by Chadli, again.

this gave both teams a free kick opportunity but only Suprs scored. Half ends 0-3 for Spurs
Soldado 40
Chadli 44 (#supersub :D)


Lost-Tiger.
Tiger's streak of bad first halves continues. Donald's new formation 4-1-2-1-2 and new tactic just blazed the Tiger squad 6-2, infact mostly on long shots. As 3 of their 6 goals were scored from distance, making it 50% long shots which is incredible considering how difficult I made it. Well, me buying awesome long shot players surely helped ;), but Donald turned my overall poor squad into a beast team :thumbsup:
Kroos 4 - LS
Tevez 8
Rakitic 10 - LS
Tevez 26
Kroos 30 - LS
Tevez 32
LS=long shot

Aguero 25
Aguero 29


Cedars-Depuy
another dominant performance, by which team though? Did Takahiro make a 2nd beastly manager swap? Well find out!

Cerci started off the game as a faking beast, scoring two goals. Later his teammates turned that into a beastly 5 goals. However, Depuy reduced the damage into 5-1. Ranocchia got injured, and I subbed in Bochetti, though for the incident apaprently 0 faks given by the referee :roflmao: no yellow, no free kick, no nothing.
Therefore the answer is: no. Takahiro's risky lineup ended up terribly wrong.
Depuy have a free kick though, one free kick to salvage the result maybe in the second half (but I need your free kick taker so I can simulate the free kick ;)). Takahiro surely needs a miracle at this stage as they are losing by 3-4 goals
 
if you look in your PMs, your first posts have been updated with the team conditions after the first half :thumbsup: (I think the stamina reduction system may need a bit of a nerf :D)
I've uploaded these on mediafire, which is why they load so slowly. This is confidental data now, so I don't want other teams seeing it.

Two teams have the teams they are playing in the calendar, other teams have symbols. Let me explain what these mean.
LW-League Week (this follows up with a number, so the number is the week)
LWR-League Week Rematch (this is basicly the same as above just you are playing on the opposite grounds, so if you played the first game against a certain team home you are now playing the "rematch" away)
CW-Cup Week (you can find the cup fictures in post #712, it's on this page just a bit further up ;) You will also find the league weeks too)
CWR-Cup Week Rematch (just like LWR, you are playing on the opposite grounds)
CQF-Cup Quarters; CSF-Semis; CF-Finals (final is played one leg at one of the 16 stadiums, chosen by random.org after the Semi's, also the time for the finals is at the same time as the 3rd place match)

moving on, 7 teams have their subs' position and fitness filled. Other teams, if you really want me to fill this in just let me know :)
I just wanted to get this done so we can proceed a bit faster. And doing the fitness and position for the first time is incredibly time consuming.

YOU CAN NOW DO CHANGES TO YOUR SQUAD AND TACTICS. THIS CLOSES IN 3 DAYS, SO HURRY UP!
 
COMMENTATORS' COMMENTS (after one full game and one half):
Liman/Lost: Impressive performance after the manager switch, new tactics worked wonders, and I feel like the squad is not that great so Donald really extracting the meximum out of the team, despite not knowing absolutely anything about the sheets :rolleyes:

Yolo: They are there or thereabouts, but their games have been very boring. Which is why I can't tell so far. But I think they might be at the top.

Nuneaton: Just like Yolo, I can't say much. And once again the games were pretty boring. Plus they played Kia, and for Kia that was the first pre-season game.

Tiger: Poor first halves, possibly could throw a suprise in the second half again but they are losing a LOT in the first half. This needs to change if they want to be winning games, let alone championships.

Scorz/Depuy: Their first appearance aswell, and I am disappointed. But I think the manager is hiding something as his lineup looked poor to me.

Jawz: Possibly the biggest disappointment since the 10-2 lead on Tiger, as the team has been nowhere and dominated on ever since. If they regain the 10-2 form though, they could be unstoppable!

Forest: Well I expected more. Pace that they have is amazing, and I expected them to dominate the game vs. Liman in the first friendly. Two games in, they are struggling. Especially as they got dominated on in the first game, but I think that was unlucky, though I still expected more from Forest.

Sloths: some say this team has a lot of money to spare. But as we all started equal, I am impressed at the quality of their plays. They could be title contenders for the next two seasons!

Williamstown: In the game against Raikea I was suprised not to see this team dominate. They let Eero score goals. At least they found more performance in the second game, but I don't see them as title contenders yet.

FC Kia: First match was a slight disaster, but the team had one less friendly which was unfortunate. I can't tell if the team will improve in the actual rounds.

Hotspurs: Two injuries for Kane in two games I just find so funny :roflmao: It's like written in a script, even though it isn't. Though the team spent a lot of money on Spurs players. Title contenders? I think it's possible, I think manager Herbert can extract more performance from his squad.

Grip: Well luck will tell if these guys can win games. One game they missed a lot of chances, other they save a lot of chances and get one cruical goal against Yolo. But they need consistency.

Cedars: Imo the strongest squad of them all. Cedars had two amazing first half starts, giving them a real big advantage. This is my bet as the champions of season 1.

Asia FC: Despite Messi, incredibly disappointing, no performance anywhere on the field, the team was struggling badly.

Paitsio: Eero impressed in game 1, but game 2 showed the team isn't that strong, losing out 2-0 to Hotspurs if we exclude the free kick. Maybe Eero needs a rest for the better striker they have?

Yaren: Good performances, especially by Bale in the 2nd game, and very good in the first halves of both games.
