I have finally broken down and decided to post about my NE Oklahoma Sidekicks.
I must say, I got my team in late December as many of you did and I don't think I've ever been so addicted to a game. Here we go!

Other than maybe buying a few inad middies to train, we're done with the transfer market for the year unless we pull an exceptional youth.
Our team has solid talent, now we just have to improve on our form and we should win V.111 hands down next season.

Next seasons goals include winning V.111 and getting promoted without having to play a qualification match.

Our second goal is to train our midfield and also hope that their form increases.

Goal #3 next season is for us to improve on our defensive talent. We have a young, talented central defender, but still need one more CD and a Wingback to play our 3-5-2.

Goal #4 is for us to improve our goalkeeping one way or another. Our Keeper is only getting 1 1/2 stars EVERY match. If he improves on his form, we'll be fine. If not, he'll be on his way out because I'm not interrupting my playmaking training over the course of this season and the next to train him.

Date: 1/20/2003 at 01:00
MatchID: 4594033
Arena: Will Brown Arena
Weather: All-day Shower
Attendance: 7765

The Match:

Due to an all-day shower, 7765 paying spectators got to see a match on a pitch-turned-bog at Will Brown Arena. Sidekicks tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Luginbühl - Johnson, Thomasson, Thompson - Needham, Henning, Connor, Andersson, Valijero - Rossi, Perez.

Wannabes had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. Lineup: Boudreau - Anderson, Jones, Chacon - Hull, Law, Bethea, Mclain - Benoit, Baker, Mallory.

Palmer Needham was dominating his wing and kept sending fine balls into the enemy box - Keith Perez managed to kick one of them into 1 - 0 in the 20:th minute. A speedy charge from the left side of the field put Sidekicks lead up with 2 - 0. Keith Perez finished that one off competently, firing from an acute angle. By now Sidekicks were drawing the troops back in order to defend their lead. Ned Connor almost managed to score another goal for Sidekicks, but his header was tipped to a corner by the visitors goalie. Danél Valijero of Sidekicks received a yellow card in the 38:th minute for unsportsmanlike behaviour. A couple of quick and successful challenges, followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area after 42 minutes might have resulted in another goal for Sidekicks. However, Alexander Boudreau made a spectacular save. Wannabes´s Richard Anderson refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon in the 44:th minute. Halftime score was 2 - 0. The fortyfive minutes were dominated by Sidekicks, with an impressive 57 percent possession of the ball.

Jan Thomasson received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly, probably out of lack of experience, in the 56:th minute and almost caused an opponent to score. Wannabes fought on and, in the 62nd minute Rodney Bethea was able to reply with 2 - 1 after some excellent moves on the right side finished off by an incredibly clever chip. The visitors almost came back with an equaliser in the 71st minute after a good combination down the middle, but as Wayne Law was to put closure on the raid he couldn´t deliver a shot hard enough to seriously challenge the keeper. Visitors Eric Baker was alert on a play coming in from the left, making the score a tie at 2 - 2 in the 74:th minute. Wannabes held the ball, with a clear [b]58 percent possession rate.

Sidekicks´s best player was Jan Thomasson. Ned Connor was a disappointment, however. The most dominating Wannabes player was without a doubt Frederick Hull. Sidney Chacon on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 2 - 2.


I actually had a bad feeling that we would get beat, so I can't say that I'm all too disappointed.

Next up on the schedule is the 2nd game of our home and home in the FOFC Cup with the Michigan Moon Shine who are owned by our own DeToxRoxDVHStyle.
We won the first game 6 - 0.

We will be trying out the 4-5-1 for the first time. It may not be real pretty as our experience has dwindled down to disatrous with this formation.

We don't have many subs, but we will play as many as possible.

Our style of play is yet to be determined.

I am contemplating playing my backup Keeper, Christian Dewitt for the first time since the arrival of Anselm Luginbühl to the team.

I like seeing things like this on my team's homepage:

"The team is undefeated for 3 competition games"


Here are the League Standings:

Series: V.111 (8484)

Country: USA
Level: 5 out of 5

Team Played Goals Points
1. Man U Wannabes 6 30 - 8 16

2. RN United 6 21 - 3 15
3. Raging Chimbelinas 6 16 - 11 12
4. Tetsaiga 6 20 - 17 9
5. NE Oklahoma Sidekic 6 12 - 14 7
6. Los Rudos 6 15 - 20 7
7. bob killas 6 1 - 27 3
8. Kandy Kanez 6 3 - 18 1


Next up we have a Home and Home with bob killas.

I have a question hopefully someone can answer. Ok, bob killas, is a VERY inactive team, they have sold all their players.

Now Los Rudos and Kandy Kanez are new teams as of today.

My question, since bob killas doesn't have any players, they obviously don't have the have the minimum amount of players of 9, they they have to forfeit 5-0.

Finally, the question, do I not get training for the game if the game is forfeited to me?

LAST ROUND



Kandy Kanez - Los Rudos 2 - 2
NE Oklahoma S - Man U Wannabe 2 - 2
RN United - Raging Chimbe 3 - 0
Tetsaiga - bob killas 5 - 0

Meet the newest Sidekick!

Conny Stensson (7758620)
17 years, passable form, healthy

A controversial person who is tranquil and dishonest.
Has disastrous experience and passable leadership abilities.

Nationality: Sverige
Assessed value: 74 000 US$
Wage: 1 008 US$/week including 20% Bonus
Owner: NE Oklahoma Sidekicks
Warnings: 0


Stamina: passable Goaltending: disastrous
Playmaking: inadequate Passing: inadequate
Winger: poor Defending: inadequate
Scoring: weak Set Pieces: wretched

Career Goals: 0
Career Hattricks: 0
League goals this season: 0
Cup goals this season: 0

Good form, good stamina, and has decent passing and defensive skills. He is currently only inadaquate in playmaking, but that's ok, because that's what I'm training. And since he is only 17, that's the biggest bonus.

Owner Will Brown had the following to say about the newest memeber of the Sidekicks, "We are very fortunate to have been able to snag a player of Conny's talent and potential for only $90,000. We were willing to goto $100,000 for him, so that was a nice suprise. Normally we wouldn't spend this much on a so-called, "inadaquate player", but Conny has great potential, is well-rounded and is as young as they come as he was just pulled up three days ago. We're not looking for much from Conny, just that eventually improves to outstanding in the area of playmaking."

Michigan Moon Shine - NE Oklahoma Sidekicks 4 - 2




Date: 1/23/2003 at 01:00
MatchID: 4952557
Arena: Michigan Moon Shine Arena
Crowd: 389


389 spectators arrived at Michigan Moon Shine Arena, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Michigan had chosen a strategic 4-3-3 formation. The following players had been chosen: Schafer - Justice, Humphries, Hammons, Moon - Bateman, Álvarez Sánchez, Simarro - Saint-Onge, Langley, Cho.

Sidekicks started off with a 4-5-1 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Dewitt - Torres, Johnson, Thomasson, Winters - Wilson, Stclair, Connor, Stensson, Valijero - Rossi.

After a fine move down the middle Tanausu Álvarez Sánchez nearly gave the home side one up in the 7:th minute. The finishing shot went just wide, though. 22 minutes into the game Carroll Moon had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came Rick Kraus. Sidekicks took the lead in the games 23rd minute with 0 - 1 after some elegant plays down the middle. Ned Connor was the scorer. The teams went for a half-time break at 0 - 1. Sidekicks held the ball, with a clear 52 percent possession rate.

Michigan´s Nathan Justice made an attempt at equalising in the 47:th minute, coming in from the right, but the ball hit the post, the defense clearing the rebound. Sidekicks seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion about the organization of the team. William Saint-Onge put his head to a well placed ball lifted in from the left and scored the 1 - 1 goal in the 51st minute. The referee showed Sidekickss Danél Valijero the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. In the to 78:th minute a very unfortunate collision in the home teams penalty area led to Sidekicks´s Julius Stclair being carried off the pitch and replaced by Archibaldo García. The 82nd minute saw the home team take a 2 - 1 lead after a leak in the visitors right side defense. Scorer for Michigan was Rick Kraus. Michigan's Tanausu Álvarez Sánchez scored 3 - 1 by shooting accurately and hard from a long distance, leaving the opponent goalie no other option than to pick up the ball from the net. Sidekicks reduced in the 84:th minute to 3 - 2 as Ned Connor easily chipped the ball past the home sides keeper on a play from the right. Michigan put their lead ahead another goal as Gerald Langley struck home the 4 - 2 goal, after an attack from the left setting him up unmarked with the keeper. Michigans Rick Kraus got himself booked after a foul. Michigan, bringing the final ball possession rate to 56 percent, dominated the battle.

The most dominating Michigan player was without a doubt Gerald Langley. Rick Kraus was a disappointment, however. Most important Sidekicks player was Jan Thomasson. Christian Dewitt was a disappointment, however. The match ends 4 - 2.


Good game to the Moonshine.

Game Notes

11/23/03 - Michigan Moon Shine - Friendly
- FOFC Cup, Round 1

-The Sidekicks advance after beating the Moonshine 6-0 in the first game.
-Will now play the Galesburg Avengers, owned by FOFC's Coffee Warlord.
-Forward/Mid/Def Julius StClair was injured during the friendly with the Moonshine and will be out approx. 4 weeks. This is why we played backups.
-Backup Keeper Christian Dewitt got his first playing team as of lately. Don't look for it to continue.
-Sidekicks started 5-7 backups, according to the lineup.
-Newcomer Conny Stennson got 2* at Mid.
-Most stars went to Def. Jan Thomasson and newcomer Forward Robert Rossi. Both received 2 and a half*.


Rumors

-While the team is confident about their 2nd round matchup with the Avengers, their offensive attack could cause severe problems.
-The Avengers are a very similar team to the Sidekicks.
-This weeks lineup for the league game and the match against the Avengers could be nearly identical.
-The team isn't quite comfortable enough with the 4-5-1 and is expected to play the 3-5-2.
-Forward Archibaldo Garcia will be on the market soon as will goalie Christian Dewitt.
-Our next league match opponent is inactive and only has 5 players. So we will win by a forfeit of 5-0. GM-George informed the team that they can run around the field so that the will get training, so we will
-We play bob killas the next two weeks.
-After the next two games, the team will be at least 4th in V.111, very possibly 3rd.
-The team is starting to feel very confident about promotion next year.

Sidekicks Press Release-

"After much debating, I have come to the conclusion that our team has been slacking off far too much during recent practices. In light of this event, we have decided to implement a training program for our players that we have them focusing on the game in no time. I am proud to present the hiring of Helga, the teams new assistant trainer who has decided to crank the level of training intensity up to 100%.

Helga doesn't speak very much English, however. At the time being the only phrases she can utter are "Yes, master" and "Whatever you want master." We are currently taking suggestions for her 3rd English phrase.

Any questions?"

bob killas - NE Oklahoma Sidekicks 0 - 5

Arena: bob killas Arena
Crowd:


The 3407 spectators at bob killas Arena were in for an afternoon of sunshine. killas tactics involved an interesting 0-0-0 combination. The following players had been chosen: Fitzgerald - - - .

Sidekicks had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Lineup: Luginbühl - Johnson, Thomasson, Thompson - Needham, Henning, Andersson, Stensson, Rossi - Tuvin, Perez.

The home side had to concede to a walkover since they had failed to produce a squad of at least 9 players. The match ends 0 - 5.





On one hand, it's very frustrating that my players didn't get the opportunity to play a league match this week.
On the other hand, we come out with the 5-0 win, training for the week, and no chance of injury.
Of course, everyone got disastrous ratings because no one played.

Here's the match Hattrick style

Game Notes

-We won by forfeit 5-0 over league cellar dweller bob killas.
-We play bob killas next week as well.
-Next game on the schedule is our 2nd Round FOFC Cup game with the mighty Galesburg Avengers.
-I'm now going to quit acting like there is something to write about this game


Rumors

-The team has been very quiet about their preperations for the 2 game Round with the Galesburg Avengers. Supposibly they are working on an "uncoventional" formation that should take them by suprise.
-Rumor has it that IM Archibaldo Garcia has been put on the transfer list once more. This time for a reported $1,000.
-Also regarding the transfer list is backup Keeper Christian Dewitt. Sources say that the team doesn't feel it necessary to have him on the team. An anonymous source had this to say about the potential leaving of Dewitt, "Good ridance! We never needed him anyways, he's a worthless piece a crap. Good ridance." He is also reportedly on the market for $1,000.
-Owner Will Brown is unsure about what to do with his forward situation. Our sources have gathered that he is somehow planning to play all four of his crunk scorers. This would be an unprecedented move for the Sidekicks.
-Rumor has it that the Sidekicks are going to use the mighty Avengers as trashy welcome mats after their upcoming game. Oh, how did that find its way on here.

Go Sidekicks!

[vex]

Thanks, btw, how many seasons, (half or full) did it take you to promote to IV?

And Go Raiders! I'll be reserving a luxurious Raiders VIP suite in the nearby future, FYI.

[Poli]

Sweet! We'll start renovating the VIP suite immediately! Would you like to have the regular Toad repellant, or extra strength?

It took me one full season to advance, as I came in with four games left in my first season.

The interesting thing about your bob killas is that they somehow won a match. Without looking up what happened, I'd have to wonder if they guy just thought the game stunk after he lost a match or two.

I'd love to have someone do that in my D4 series. Alas, 5 or 6 of our teams actually seem competitive. The other two or laughing stocks.

Date: 1/30/2003 at 01:00
MatchID: 4963210
Arena: Will Brown Arena
Crowd: 852


Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 852 to Will Brown Arena. Sidekicks had chosen a strategic 4-5-1 formation. The following players had been chosen: Luginbühl - Connor, Johnson, Thomasson, Thompson - Needham, Rossi, Andersson, Stensson, Valijero - Tuvin.

Galesburg tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Thomas - Schrader, Andres Alvaro, Valadez - Maddox, Hammond, Matson, Poulin, Croom-Carter - Mosley, Street.

One of many good passes from Danél Valijero at the wing was recieved and skillfully taken care of by Patrik Tuvin, scoring for Sidekicks to 1 - 0. After an industrious effort down the middle Donald Thompson could have closed the game off in the 20:th minute, but his finishing shot hit the post. A bit later, a magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Sidekicks´s Patrik Tuvin putting the lead up to 2 - 0. Conny Stensson increased Sidekickss lead to 3 - 0 by putting a header away on a hooked ball from the right. The structure of the game started to change as Sidekicks decided to pull back and meet their opponents in the defensive zone. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. Patrik Tuvin squirmed himself through the central defense line in the 33rd minute, asserting the lead to 4 - 0. At that, Patrik Tuvin was noted down for a hat trick. Sidekicks appeared unsure on how to play. The teams went for a half-time break at 4 - 0. Sidekicks held the ball, with a clear 64 percent possession rate.

During the break Sidekicks´s coach went through the teams new tactics yet again. Patrik Tuvin increased Sidekickss lead to 5 - 0 by putting a header away on a hooked ball from the right. Sidekicks seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion about the organization of the team. Sidekicks put their lead ahead another goal as Göran Andersson struck home the 6 - 0 goal, after an attack from the left setting him up unmarked with the keeper. With 77 minutes played Patrik Tuvin could have brought this one home for Sidekicks, had his hooked ball gone in, but it went just a bit too high. A speedy charge from the left side of the field put Sidekicks lead up with 7 - 0. Conny Stensson finished that one off competently, firing from an acute angle. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, Galesburg´s Daryl Mosley got himself booked. Sidekicks, bringing the final ball possession rate to 78 percent, dominated the battle.

The most dominating Sidekicks player was without a doubt Jan Thomasson. Ned Connor was a disappointment, however. The most dominating Galesburg player was without a doubt Daryl Mosley. Paofai Croom-Carter was a disappointment, however. The match ends 7 - 0.

[Coffee Warlord]

Quite simple really. My midfield were all trainees (I'm training Playmaking), aside from 1 person. Had a scrub forward and a scrub defender in there as well. They're competant, but nowhere NEAR as effective as my main force.

I'm kinda surprised how brutal the score was. Figured we at least had a shot.

Welp, guess I'll just have to win 10-0 at home now.

Excuses, excuses, excuses

[Coffee Warlord]

Take your starters out next match and we'll talk.

That guy(Tuvin) that scored 4 goals on you, not a starter.

We have booked the 2nd leg of our second round FOFC Cup matchup with the Galesburg Avengers, who we just beat 7-nil.

15 more supporters which brings us to 636 members strong.

And Helga finally has us at 100% training. Don't get distracted guys!

[vex]

Ok, I need some opinions here. Here's the deal, I have four forwards. I don't need four forwards, I run a 3-5-2 during league games and either a 3-5-2 or a 4-5-1 for friendlies. So obviusly, I don't need all four of these guys.

I don't have a shot at winning the league this year, so really I'm building towards next year.

I train playmaking, so regardless of age, their scoring ratings will not go up.

Here are the guys up for debate, and I might even get rid of two of them as I have a way to shift my lineup around this season in case 1 of the 2 gets injured:




Keith Perez
92 000 US$, 28 years, passable form
Has disastrous experience and disastrous leadership abilities [Powerful]

Stamina: weak Keeper: disastrous
Playmaking: poor Passing: weak
Winger: passable Defending: inadequate
Scoring: solid Set Pieces: disastrous



Roberto Rossi
101 000 US$, 21 years, solid form
Has disastrous experience and weak leadership abilities [Quick]

Stamina: excellent Keeper: disastrous
Playmaking: weak Passing: passable
Winger: inadequate Defending: disastrous
Scoring: passable Set Pieces: passable



Patrik Tuvin
46 000 US$, 21 years, passable form
Has disastrous experience and weak leadership abilities

Stamina: passable Keeper: disastrous
Playmaking: wretched Passing: weak
Winger: weak Defending: poor
Scoring: passable Set Pieces: poor



Donny Winters
35 000 US$, 23 years, passable form
Has wretched experience and poor leadership abilities

Stamina: inadequate Keeper: wretched
Playmaking: inadequate Passing: weak
Winger: weak Defending: weak
Scoring: inadequate Set Pieces: poor




One other possibility I just saw for the first time this season, should I put Donny Winters at midfield? Especially seeing as how he would fetch the least right now on the transfer market as a forward.


Please comment as I would like to make a decision soon, I have also put up a poll in the dynasty polls section. Here is the poll. Thanks.

[Poli]

I've voted. Go Kicks!

[vex]

I wasn't able to get to the computer most of today so I wasn't able to make a decision on which forward I was going to sell. So for now, with the youth pulls coming out, I'm going to wait Sunday or Monday to put Perez on the market as I am going to move Winters to midfield because that is where we need trainees.

Ok, I'm going to keep all of my players until after next weeks league game. I am playing the leader again, so if I win, I'm going for all the marbles this season as I am currently 9 points from 1st and have a guaranteed win this week.

If I lose though, expect a firesale.

I'm starting to really like these forfeit matches. I get training, if I'm at home I get revenue from the attendance, my players can't get hurt, I win 5-0. I like it. That changes next week though when we play #1 Wannabes.
