I pulled off a win against Relegation FC on the road. Was super worried after they pulled ahead 2-0 to start. Will consider myself lucky.

Perennial powerhouses Riverhounds, Ashburn and Polar Bears are out of the u21 cup in round 3. This is unheard of.

Now we just need someone to upset Fieras and Terriers :)

My best U21 goaltender at the moment has 2.35 (3.85) stars. I didn't expect to get very far this season.

Sidney Town vs Arsenal will be one more tough team down.

What Ulysses said.
Also with the new rules the game has become boring since the ME selcts my team

And because I cannot set tactics my cup run will end tomorrow. I m sure thats fair.
GL with cup St Louis Rams

You don't seem to like this game anymore, jpeso. Lots of negative coming from you.

Why you can't set your tactics?

Players are injured& suspended - its logical that I pick from the next best guys in the top23 No?....but the new rule(@John Deatrick that's what I believe is just plain dumb. If playing a different 11 is not fair why allow transfers or have injuries oor suspensions.Also no offense meant but I think my second 12 will get me more points against the bottom 6 than my tired first 11 would.No sane league commissioner will have anything to say if you pick a team from the first team roster) wont let me.

So it literally will not let you set a roster?

I have to agree with jpeso on this. I have two league matches and a champions league match all within a couple hours this evening. I'm forced to set a lineup with players who are going to be exhausted. Even changing formations doesn't help. The new rule is very frustrating.

I have been able to use several different lineups where I give anywhere from 2 or 3 to as many as 5 of my starters a rest game and have only been denied the line-up once. We will see if it helps in the second half of the season with tired players. Then again, unlike some of the other commentators, my team is not fighting for any awards or competitions, but it has been interesting to try and learn how to use the new rules and still get players rest. All of my starters have rested some games in the first half.

So far it has probably hurt me a little bit. I lost 11 games in the first 19 which I think is the most in the league, but 8 of them were 1-0 games, two games were 2-1 losses and only one was a blowout to Pittsburg at 3-0. Maybe I could have won or tied a couple of more by playing stronger lineups. Hopefully, it pays off in the second half of the season.

I am finally back to the u21 cup finals. I get to play at home against a pretty strong league 2 team. I like my chances.

I'm pretty happy to have just surpassed 2million popularity.
