Match 1

[MrB]

1st League encounters of the season, I expect to get tonked but who knows...

Good luck to all 16 (?) of us.

[Kent Shrimper]

Well the games are under way.

Southend United are at home to the Avenger Penguins, who are usually a bogey team for me even though they finished below us last season.

[Barmy Army]

A sh*te attendance for me.

1 vs. 2 = 18000 out of a 35000 stadium!

Shrimperzone held the ball, with a clear 92 percent possession rate.

Hardly´s best player was Mark Hardinge. Kingsley Hammon on the other hand, had a terrible day. Shrimperzone´s best player was Jean Branchu. However, René Utz made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 6.

Well he scored a hat-trick - What a disaster !

I think I got screwed over by the match engine.

I was better than them in all areas apart from one where we were level.

I blame my team's inexperience of playing 3-5-2

3-0 win http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

However the team that got relegated last season looks like they have the series already

[* ORM *]

Probably for the one and only time this season.

1. Shrimperzone F.C. 1 6 - 0 3

2. Lokomotive Hemswort 1 6 - 1 3
3. JT'sBarmyArmy 1 4 - 0 3
4. Beastmaster Interna 1 2 - 0 3
5. Camb Utd 1 0 - 2 0
6. gunners 23 1 0 - 4 0
7. SHFC 1 1 - 6 0
8. Hardly Utd 1 0 - 6 0

Next league game vs Camb Utd - they got relegated and lost 2-0 at home this week to the team that finished third. Next week will give me some idea of my true worth - aiming for 3rd this season -

24 stars - my best yet http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif

[blues_r_best]

A 5-0 win away from home to the team that came down from Div V, my GK got injured (and is out for 2 weeks) and the player who replaced him managed a total of 0 stars, and they still didn't manage to score.

[Bob Cratchitt]

I managed to get 35 stars, http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif Seems that if I was my opposition i would not be happy they got 40.5 stars and had 52% of the possession and according to HAM prediction they should have won 3-2.

Oh well onwards and upwards http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif

[MrB]

Lost 4-0, very much expected. My excellent IM went off injured (fortunately only one week) meaning I'll have to play two passables next week as both my excellents are out injured.

It's going to be a long hard season. Now to field probably the worst team ever against BrB on Tuesday!!

Is 35 good for your boys or not?

[Bob Cratchitt]

I usually get 35.5 or 36 so 35 was not great but not too bad.

I won my first ever league game 2-0. 3rd in the league, bit disapointed as they also had a player sent off.

Very pleasing start to the season... a thumping 5-1 home win over the side that finished just below me in the table last season; 4.5* ratings for one of my midfielders (who I note has popped to "inadequate" experience) and one of my strikers. *Would have picked up 37* (probably) had it not been for one of my wing-backs getting himself sent off; as it is, picked up 34.5* with 10 men and an HT rating of 158, which I think is one of my highest ever...

I'm in a very tough Div VI

There are three of us getting 30+* a week and therefore none of us will auto-promote any time soon.

Really the HT team should send us to different series' where we will win easy and auto-promote to Div V.

The difference will be that BA is likely to be competitive once he gets into div.V, whilst MrB's results in Div.V will resemble the real SZFC.

There are a couple:

http://hattrick.tias.se/rating.php - this one is probably easier to read, and requires you to input all your match ratings.

http://mratdk.hattricknippon.org/ - this one looks a bit weirder, in format, but has a lot more info on it, because it draws its info from your match number - so it counts your star ratings etc. etc. Pretty cool, actually.

http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif

As for me, I am now officially happy as a pig in merde... just bought a 24 yo formidable defender - 4* player when on form (which he isn't at the moment) - for £364K. Bit of a bargain there, I reckon...

That would involve me getting a draw though.....

We probably could have made a semi-fist of it had I not sold four (albeit flawed) excellent players, however we're firmly in the black (£300k) and thought it better to prepare to get back up in case we end up in a division like BA's! Also means our training regime will be flying with 10 excellent/formidable defenders in their teens.
