lmao, this is a joke.

Bastian Oczipka has played 1530min for Eintracht so far this season, has 0 goals and 8 assists! Aged 24, LB/LM. He doesn't get a rating increase at all and so sticks at 86.

Meanwhile Sebastian Rode has played 1496mins, has 0 goals and 1 assist. Aged 22, CM and he gets a +7 to take him to 87.

I mean seriously, what the flying feck are they playing at exactly?

Looks like they have done the defensive options of Dortmund. Midfield (bar sexy Reus) and attackers next for them.

Lost to wolves. Not happy at all, expected a win.
No shame in losing to them, they're a tough side. Made it to the top 4 last season and are having another good start this season. They seem to be having trouble finding the net though, but are making up for it with good defensive displays.

Saying that, with the team you've got you should be expecting a win, or at least a goal.

Ya my thoughts as well. Just got it wrong myself.

feck off Reading! How the feck did those two players make more than my offer?

He's done me over two times now, the bastard.

Still unbeaten after games against Arsenal, United and City...so I can't grumble at that...

Was expecting a drubbing last night, so a point against City will do me...

Gotze got a +2 increase to 93! Very pleased about that, though I thought he'd get a + 1 now and another + 1 in the summer.

Surprised Piszczek got a +2 as well. I don't have him in this one (though I did sign him with Leeds) but I do have him in the Elite.

Hmm, lost 1-0 to AC Milan but they are the strongest AI team in my group. The tactics I use for the league aren't working in Europe so for the next game I'll have to try something different.

Home game against Blackburn Rovers tonight who are in the relegation zone. Should be expected to win this, but so far this season I've had a poor record in the league game after the CL game.

Won 4-1 against Blackburn :) Four different scorers, four different assisters.

De Rossi is out for two weeks so that is a blow but Gotze will slot in, in his place.

Next up: Wolves away. It'll be a tough game.
