AFC Wimbledon - For The Fans

The preseason has just came to a close and it was not a pretty one. AFC Wimbledon lost their first 2 preseason matches (2-1 each) and were barely able to win their last match 1-0. Christian Jolley was able to get on the scoresheet in the last match, but Danny Kedwell was unable to score in the 2 matches he played. He played decently, not bad performances but also didn't stand out. Chavez experimented between his usual 5-4-1 and a 5-3-2, but neither seemed to work. We're used to seeing Wimbledon play great, attacking football while holding possession but in these three matches they were both outshot and outplayed.

The fans have responded really well to the newly promoted team though. Despite it only being preseason the Wimbledon fans have entered the stadium in higher numbers than last season. Some fans have shown to be worried going into the first Football League 1 game in the entire history of AFCW though, as the preseason was far from good.

And what a way to start the season, the draw has decided that the first Football League 1 game in all of AFC Wimbledon's history will be against none other than strongly hated rivals MK Dons. The fans are already tensing up the match through insults against the opposing fans, while Chavez heats up the match by declaring that MK Dons have a small time mentality.

A few weeks ago, MK Dons contacted AFC Wimbledon about their interest in signing Wimbledon striker/midfielder Jack Midson. AFC Wimbledon agreed to sit down and negotiate with MK Dons which surprised all of us. MK Dons made an offer of $200,000 for the player, but AFC Wimbledon responded that they would not accept a penny less than $100,000,000. Angered by the counter offer, the MK Dons representatives told Chavez that the negotiations were over, and left the room.

Jack Midson is expected to start in this Saturday's match. Let's see if he can live up to his MK Dons-specific price tag of one hundred million dollars!

Re: How's Your FIFA 14 Career Mode Going?

Hey all. I'm 9 games into my CM using liverpool. I'm positioned 9. With 11 points 3 Wins 2 draws 4 lose. Manchester city have is on top of the table with 22 points and 0 lose, how I'm going to close them up ? I've no idea *Sigh*. Last night I had one of the most emotional rollercosta game ever I played against West ham at anfield , having been 2 - 0 up by 20 minute they came back and raped me 2-3 by half time. I forth back and went up 4 - 3. By the 85th min they equalized once again to make it 4 - 4 (I felt like smashing my controller at this point because I concede each and every game. But in the 90th min I counter attacked, sterling from my half to their box and taking on two defenders making borini free on the far post I just sliped the ball and BORINI TAPED IN!!!! 5 - 4 FullTime I actually celebrated jumping up n down. One of the most frustrating thing iam en counting is that I'm conceding each & every game on a average of 1-4 Goals each game. I play with 4-1-2-1-2. Starting XI:

Mignolet
Johnson - Agger - Skrtel - Flanagan
Allen
Luis Alberto -- Henderson
Sterling
Sturridge -- Borini (Suarez only played one game the 1st of the season he got injured for 4 months he's been ****ed for 8 games). Well as for Luis alberto his playing for gerrard who recently got injured for 4 games.
Game difficult: Legendary
Game speed: Slow
Time: 15 minute
Orion sliders.

Recent Result:
Liverpool 5 - 4 West Ham
Liverpool 1 - 4 Southamptom
Newcastle 1 - 1 liverpool
Liverpool 3 - 1 Manchester united
Tot'spurs 2 - 2 Liverpool
Liverpool 3 - 1 Coventry city(spelling)

I play approximately 2 to 3 Games Per day (school sucks). Taking on manchester city in etihad (FA Cup) Can't wait

He's been great so far. Bagged some nice goals, but is leading my team in assists. My favorite part is his free kick ability. Already knocked in one with him.

Can't believe you got MK Dons as your first game of the season. The FIFA gods are smiling upon you.

Re: How's Your FIFA 14 Career Mode Going?

Looking for some help. I'm conceding way too many goals, but it's annoying the way they are happening. A lot of them are the computer just slotting balls right past my back line and then their player outruns mine to the ball and I can't even get close enough to push them off the ball. And the other annoying way is headers that my defenders just get beat for.

Anyway, I just changed up my tactics so my back line drops deeper. Any other suggestions that could help? It is getting really annoying. I'll have a game where I can win 1-0 or draw 1-1, and then the next game ends up being like a 4-3 loss if not worse than that.

Lol mate. That's exactly what has been happening to me. I changed my formation playing with to 3 - 5 - 2. I've also played two games with "Ultra attack" I raped Fulham 4 - 2 at anfield. Next Match I played was against everton at their home ground. I won the game 4 - 1. I don't outscore the CPU without "Ultra attack". Not to forget that Steven pienaar missed glorious opportunities and was subsituated later. Lol what a fun game that was. I'll play another game before the portugal vs germany match . So I suggest going ultra attacking When u lead 2 3 up & when u they u see that they want to score change it to ultra defensive for the rest of the game.

Lol I hate that. So my choices are to either lead the league in goals by a huge margin, or concede the most goals in the league by a large margin.

I wish the game would allow a happy medium, but oh well. I guess I just need to keep at it and get better at this game. I can definitely feel to change in difficulty jumping from Liga Adelante to Liga BBVA.

Yes, you could do it that way but not necessarily. The only times I use "ultra attack" is when I'm down and it's the 80th minute. I use quick tactics a lot more and pair them up with those. For example, switch to "defensive" and select "possession" or switch to "attacking" and select "high press." I usually pair "attacking" with possession, but most of the time I'll leave it on "balanced" and just read the game. Like, if we're losing the midfield and the other team is easily winning the balls from me, I'll select "possession" so my players can calm down and make more short passes. If I'm completely of top of the other team but for some reason we just can't score, I'll switch to "high press" so my team pushes up together, creating more open spaces in attack. If we're dominating but we can't create anything in the attacking third, I'll use the "swap wings" to confuse their full backs a little bit.

Also, don't pull your centre backs out of position (if you're doing that.) Even with my line of 5 I've made the mistake of pulling my CB instead of making my RCB cut in and the opposing team will score by finding the open space. You can also try using the "man marking" option if your defenders have good marking stats, but I haven't tried that.

Thanks I'll have to try a few things out. It's just frustrating because it's either a clean sheet or a solid defensive effort allowing 1 goal, or allowing like 4 goals. There is never an in between. I can't remember the last game that ended 2-0 or 2-1.

AFC Wimbledon - First Game of the Season

AFC Wimbledon faced fierce rivals MK Dons in the Football League 1 season opener. A very tense match in which AFC Wimbledon defeated their rivals by a close scoreline of 1-0. Danny Kedwell scored the first goal of the season at minute 45 after a cross from Tarik Çamdal. Kedwell continues to put his name in Wimbledon's history by scoring the first ever goal for AFCW in League 1. The Wimbledon supporters have set a record for stadium attendance today after surpassing last year's semifinal vs Crystal Palace which had been the highest attendance for AFC Wimbledon. Massive boos and jeers were heard at minute 76 as Ryan Hall was substituted in for MK Dons.

This is barely the third time these two teams face off since the founding of both of them. The first match was an FA Cup match in 2012 which MK Dons won by 2-1 in stoppage time. Jack Midson had scored Wimbledon's only goal that night. The second time these two teams faced off was last season in 2013 in a J. Paint Trophy fixture which ended 2-2 after extra times. The game was decided via penalty shoutout which Wimbledon won 4-3.

Press Conference

Mr. Chavez, the first match in League 1 and against none other than MK Dons. How do you feel after achieving your first victory of the season?

"Absolutely fantastic. We knew the first game would be very important and as soon as we saw it was against MK Dons we celebrated. What a great way to start. Every match played against them is like a final."

Any word on the negotiations of Jack Midson to MK Dons? The MK Dons manager stated himself "We remained courteous the whole time. Transfer negotiations are a serious matter and we made a good offer for Midson. We were not joking around but AFC Wimbledon were very unprofessional in return." Any comments?

"I assure you we weren't joking either. As soon as Midson had heard an offer had been made for him he approached me and told me he would never play for MK Dons. I was honest with him and told him not to worry. To each their own, but if it is up to us no Wimbledon player will ever play for MK. If the player wants to then go ahead, but as of right now none of our players would want to. And the same goes for me as well. I don't care how much money MK offered, I would never manage them."

At the end of last season it was said that Max Clayton would stay at Wimbledon permanently. You have been promoted to League 1 and Crewe Alexandria have been relegated to League 2 after finishing last in League 1. What happened?

"We spoke with the player and he told us he wanted to stay with us. Unfortunately we were unable to afford the future fee that was agreed. I asked Crewe Alexandria to give us some time as our budget would be increased at the beginning of the new season but they said no. We approached them to reopen negotiations for the price that had been agreed last year but the price was elevated far from our financial capabilities. We tried to get him back on loan at least but Crewe refuse to do business. It's a shame, as Clayton is a great player with an outstanding future but unfortunately he will have to play yet another season in League 2. We know what was best for the player and the player himself had agreed, but like I said it is a shame Crewe Alexandria chose not to allow him to return to us."
"Thanks to all for coming out tonight. We are Wimbledon!"

Re: How's Your FIFA 14 Career Mode Going?

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of updates recently. Basically my copy of fifa is broken and when I load it up, it shuts down straight away and takes me back to the xbox one menu (if anyone has any ideas on how to fix this please say, I'll be hugely grateful). Because of this I am unable to play the career mode. Also it's difficult to find time to post, like Jamie, as it is difficult to manage school work with the World Cup etc.. Hopefully you guys understand and stay tuned. I'll probably be back in a week or two so get ready for posts to hopefully be better than ever.

Same here, as soon as I come home from school the football's on. I'll probably update at the weekend. I'm also having problems with fifa 14 freezing every time I go onto career mode it freezes, should have this fixed in a few days.
