**** no signal at work. I see I'm playing ok. Hattrick! Whoop! You didn't lose that match did you? This is great. Any updates tonight?

Unfortunately, I think that was the match I lost, but you scored two in the replay,so you didn't lose out too much. Planning on few more updates tonight, would be nice to reach the beginning of December.

Seems like I'm picking up yellows for fun. At least my ratings are good. Not as many assists as I would like though. When is going to be the next screenshots of all players stats?

1st Jan is the next planned one, although if I find a large enough gap in the fixtures, I may do one then.

Another injury for me im not having a lot of luck :(

Perhaps, but the performances are definitely improving, so at least Thompson is staying in contention.
 
Just an update on the screens of players:

You may be in luck. There is an international break in November, so if I have my matches over that period postponed, there will be screenshots of players. If the games aren't postponed, then they'll stay delayed until January. I'll know more when I load the game up soon.

Teamsheet: HYDE (A) (4/11/14)

(4-2-3-1 WIDE)

THAME

BANANA MANBEARPIG SCHWARZENEGGER FIREBIRD

DANCE PATRIK

LITMANEN BIGGUN HOGG

GOYZUETA

Bench: REDGRAVE, BURHEIM, PETERS, ROBERTS, WILLIAMS

On the basis the 4-4-2 didn't work away from home last time, we go back to our traditional formation. With the FA Cup coming up, Roberts and Peters are both rested. Goyzueta gets a start, whilst Hogg makes his return from injury. Firebird returns to left back, as the battle for dominance in that position continues. Tobey Mason misses the match completely, but is battling with Post to start at the weekend.

A slow start to the game eventually saw a Biggun drive hit the back of the net in the 31st minute. He then doubled his tally in the 45th minute in an otherwise unremarkable half.

Garner pulled one back in the 51st minute after out maneuvering Arnie to place the ball in the net. Poor defending cost us again as Hyde went level. Williams put us ahead again immediately though, scoring with his first touch of the game. Williams then turned provider for Hogg to head in. Roberts fired home a late fifth and sixth as the substitutes turned the tide of the match. A late knock for Thame is cause for concern though; we are waiting on the physio's for more info.

Ratings: Thame 7.5, Banana 7.5, Schwarzenegger 7.3, Manbearpig 7.6, Firebird 7.4, Patrik 8.4, Dance 7.4, Litmanen 6.2, Biggun 9.2, Hogg 9, Goyzueta 6.7. Subs: Williams 8, Roberts 8.6

Teamsheet: WALTON CASUALS (H) (9/11/14) (FA CUP 1ST ROUND)

(4-4-2)

REDGRAVE

THUNDERFOOT HARRISON BURHEIM WHYTE

MASON PETERS PALMER BAKER

ROBERTS WILLIAMS

Bench: THAME, SCHWARZENEGGER, FIREBIRD, BIGGUN, PATRIK, POST, YAKIN II

Our first round match sees a couple of changes. We return to two up front, given the strength of the opposition. There's a change in goal, as Thame was adjudged to have suffered a dead leg in the previous match. He is still carrying a knock going into the match, but is on the bench as a precaution. Harrison plays his first cup match of the season, and is paired with potential England U19s partner Burheim.

Williams broke the deadlock after 14 mins, nipping in ahead of the keeper to finish a Whyte cross. Williams then converted a cross from our other full back to double our lead. A change at the break saw Whyte, who picked up a knock in the 7th minute, taken off, with Firebird summoned from the bench.

Redgrave couldn't do anything about Walton's goal though, a long range 30 yard stunner that anybody could be proud of. Despite some nervy moments, Roberts and Williams combined well in the box, with Roberts finishing into an empty net.

The team sat back after that, and we closed out the 3-1 win comfortably. We could have pushed for more goals, but Walton were looking dangerous on the counter, so I decided to keep what we had, and make for the next round.

Ratings: Redgrave 7.1, Thunderfoot 8.6, Burheim 7, Harrison 6.8, Whyte 7.2, Mason 7.1, Palmer 6.8, Peters 6.6, Baker 6.7, Roberts 7.1, Williams 9. Subs: ​Firebird 6.5, Yakin II 6.8, Post 6.7

 
Injury Newsflash:

Biggun - 3-4 weeks - Pulled Hamstring
Thame - 2-3 months - Broken Ankle
 
Squad crisis?nsounds worrying

I'm overplaying it slightly. The squad "crisis" part is the fact that we only have 13 available injuries for our next match through injuries and players not having returned from internationals.
 
Sure that means to say 13 available players :P. Bit ***** that we are all away though. Although if this is a league game, we can afford to drop points even though you might not want to.

Players does make more sense...

I guess it does, but it does limit my options as to who I play slightly, so it throws my squad rotation right out the window
