Yep this is what I have and it's a bitch to play against

Aberdeen squad is really nice in v2. Had a save with them once and their og players carried us far

Long ball. I will keep banging on that drum.

this time it clicked big time. comfortable league win, cup winners cup, lost cup final to PSV in a champing. we wrap this save up, it was fun, and Willem II OG squad is surprisingly good with Kontermann, Hyypia and Galasek able to perform at top levels.

Willem II, season V. We need a change of guard to achieve a breakthrough. little fwd arrow on the midfield better fit our rep as a top european club. Lampard and Maradona regen come in att AMCs, with Socrates regen in MC slot. Dominating league and rush GK Abidal upping his game, if that's possible.

overall sh*te season, only consolation is a thrashing of Feyenoord at cup final (due to home stadium bug). 3rd place finish. One issue is this season we had a lot of team play / switch to UD and you just can't counter it in a consistent way - hit our goalscoring tally for sure.

the next game, match engine wants to apologize.

aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social @aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

this looked like going sideways until 73th minute. God I love Konstantinou and Karadzov upfront.

aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social @aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

Willem II, season IV. Added a bunch of squad depth, kept the starting 11, but performance actually worsened. CL QF against Juve is looking like a tough away game. League is also proving to be an issue.

aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social @aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

It looks Ok goals and assists wise but that low average always gets me thinking it's CA issue

aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social @aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social · 16/02/2025

5th place is huge. What is Murgita averaging?

110

aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social @aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social · 14/02/2025

Tangential note: i will swear by it and I am willing to die on this hill : long ball is the only consistent remedy against UD and 361 defensive.

aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social @aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

League and cup done and dusted. It feels like we get way too many penalty shootouts by the way, I don't know if it's just a coincidence or somehow has to do with our weird little tactic.

000

aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social @aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

F*** it, I chalk this one in the win column. We had 3-4 key starters either suspended or injured. Will need more depth next season.

100

aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social @aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

not much of a challenge from Bayern in the semis, we face Porto in the CL final

110

aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social @aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

CL group stage was easy. QF 1st leg against Parma is promising. Of course, it helps when you have the BEST FREAKING STRIKER in the game, the glorious Macedonian Menace, Avatar of Vardar, GORAN KARADZOV. 136 apps 148 goals. R9 eat your heart out.

aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social @aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

Willem II, season III. We're fighting PSV for the top spot again and we'd run away with the league but just don't have squad depth to deal with injuries. Tactics still the same, tried a GK version with one less AMC and it just wasn't the same. I

aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social @aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

It was weird but I thought in super spine it's also the RB becoming GK, although not exactly comparable

000

aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social @aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

show-time cup win against Ajax, that's 2 cups in 2 years. Konstantinou and Karadzov upfront are simply a cheat code. Karadzov bagged 55 goals each this season and previous one. Have some decency man!

aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social @aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

@nikolai9798.bsky.social if you liked that one, check this one out! It seriously felt like the game was intentionally pushing this one to penalties no matter what.

aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social @aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

Season II with Willem II. We looked like running away with the league until the very end, and messed up to end up 2nd. Played most of the season with Abidal at rush GK - probably the best rush GK I ever had, definitely conceeded less than Sorensen in the few games he played at goal.

220

aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social @aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

league wrapped up as well i could have hoped. in the cup final, luckily we get Sparta (2nd placed in Div2) so we manage the double. cup winners' cup here we come next year.

aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social @aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

another cliffhanger in the semi-finals and we make it to the finals.

aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social @aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

huge win against Ajax in the cup QF. interestingly, not the first time we beat them this season.

120

aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social @aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

this of course doesn't happen without the tactical magic. @nikolai9798.bsky.social have opened the doors of rush GK for me and I can't quite quit it. We're dominating the league, with the fewest goals conceeded (don't know how!), maybe due to the acrobatics of young Abidal at GK (averaging 8.73)

120

aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social @aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

I mean... look at this lot dominating. You'll never see these guys do well again, except Konstantinou - have been seeing him around but haven't had the chance to sign him yet.

110

aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social @aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

New save. Load up BNW, BeNe / Yugo / Por-Bra leagues. We go to Div2, BeNe league, Willem II. It's a not a fictional place that you buy Sami Hyypia and Galasek from. Let's see if we can make it to CL winners relatively quickly. We spend the transfer budget on Euro recommended eastern europeans

aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social @aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social · 11/02/2025

i couldn't quite get it to work with Udinese. On purpose didn't buy too many players but were kind of hovering in that top 5-10 range

000

aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social @aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social · 11/02/2025

could it be that Del Piero was the linchpin in the Juve magic? how have they done without him? I suspect not any different, given they do buy quite a few good players generally.

110

aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social @aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social · 08/02/2025

I would bet top dollar they switched to ultradefensive after 0-3

020

aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social @aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social · 07/02/2025

Second season looks like. Doesn't matter, if you win the PL, I quit 🤣

100

aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social @aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social · 30/01/2025

Unless it's a cup final i never use a substitute goalie, generally works fine for me even if your gk gets sent off

100

aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social @aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social · 30/01/2025

I generally just jack up his price to max on a regular basis and most likely he'll stick around

010

aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social @aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social · 30/01/2025

Wait. I have so many questions. Aren't you Padova to start with? Or are you stress testing your Padova tactic?

030

aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social @aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

Try giving 4231 a look if it fits your squad. One of the best tactics out of the v2 default set I find

010

aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social @aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

against spain in the first round, the tactic doesn't even put up any resistance :P . this is the end of this adventure.

020

aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social @aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

an ugly loss to Ukraine, followed by a huge win against Mexico see us make it through, barely. haven't managed to identify the perfect candidate for rush GK just yet.

110

aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social @aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

we change rush GK who gets MOTM like he's supposed to and get a decent draw against Yugoslavia.

110

aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social @aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

mixed performances in friendlies, followed by this just before WC begins. I think I need to change the rush GK selection.

100

aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social @aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

friendly against Croatia is very very concerning as our rush keeper setup collapses completely inside 15 minutes. Hopefully have a couple more friendlies before summer to figure out if this is a one-off thing.

100

aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social @aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

no magic to it. Netherlands fielded 5 or 6 players, three of them GKs, with Overmars at goal and everybody else lined up front. tricky part is the game breaks down, at least graphics wise after 30-ish goals and sometimes you can't navigate your way to the save menu.

000

aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social @aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

this group looks decent although Yugoslavia is really strong in this patch. 2nd place finish should be doable.

110

aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social @aasmundbjorkan.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

back to serious business. 1st leg of playoff is a hard-fought draw. Ogun, who's been proven an excellent rush GK from multiple saves is MOTM. Return game is utter domination and we're finally into the WC.
