C League was just started today so hopefully the table will populate soon. Figured this was better than having the tables buried within the old thread. Good luck to all who joined the FL series and thanks again to rebelsin7, jimrich, and dowopado for all their work getting the leagues up and running.C League was just started today so hopefully the table will populate soon.

Put a fire under their tails, and told them they can easily be replaced. We will see what kind of results I get out of that. Damn kids!!!!

@fernandiuxz : welcome to the MZUSA federation. You are officially the first one to join the waiting list for next season's FL series. Sounds like you've been doing well with training. Mine tends to go in spurts. Last week was bad as I think there was only one or two days where players actually gained balls and only a few. Hopefully, that means I'll have a surge the next couple of weeks. @dowopado: Congrats on being the only FL coordinator now near the bottom of their league so far. Not sure what's going on, but hope your streak continues.@fernandiuxz : welcome to the MZUSA federation. You are officially the first one to join the waiting list for next season's FL series.

@quazz56.... I agree. Luck has a lot to do with the wins. I have a theory about competition in leagues. After a few games if you are in the bottom half then luck is hard to come by, if you are in the top half then luck seems to be there for those teams. I play a lot of leagues and cups, and it seems to be that way with me. Noticed it when I played the same teams repeatly. Of course, like all theories it might just be a perception and not real.@quazz56.... I agree. Luck has a lot to do with the wins. I have a theory about competition in leagues.

I think I had a good number of one goal losses my first season in Div 2 as well. Although I also remember getting my hat handed to me quite often at the start of that season, so perhaps there is something to the perception that your luck early in the season can influence your luck for the second half of the season. Here's hoping you can find some better luck in the second half.I think I had a good number of one goal losses my first season in Div 2 as well.

Re: MZUSA Federation #6

If you are talking about in Youth games,then no. There is a penalty system in place. Not only you lose 5-0 in walkovers, the team receives no money for that match and in case of a walkover in league or league qualification game, the team also receives a penalty which is 2x their sponsor money . So I think its best to stick to 11 players.If you are talking about in Youth games,then no. There is a penalty system in place.

I think it is impossible to deliberately save a tactic with less than 11 players. But you can accidentally have such a tactic if you send players to camp and don't update any tactics. Anytime you change any tactic and try to save it, you are made to fix your other tactics as well if they involve squads of less than11 players. Speaking of the Youth League play ins, nice to see 4 players from the USA in the list of top ten scorers. Way to go!I think it is impossible to deliberately save a tactic with less than 11 players.

From the manual If a player receives two yellow cards in games within the same competition (or three in the League) or if he is shown a red card in a certain competition, he will be banned from playing in the next game in that competition. If he receives two yellow cards in one game, he will be sent off but will receive no further ban. Note that, as Friendlies aren’t seen as competitive games, any cards received in them will have no knock-on effects in future games.From the manual

My 5 players were suspended prior to the games because of excessive yellow cards from previous games and red cards from the previous game. I don't count those things, just go with the flow. I can't even remember if it was a FL or cup game.

I have noticed a lot of late game yellow and second yellow from some of my guys. Had a player suspended for getting his second yellow in the 95th minute. I've been trying to work on PI, but it's slow go when you've got so many players with PI's of 2 and 3. Not sure where they need to get to to start playing smarter, been trying to get them into the 5 balls range. On an unrelated note - worked all weekend so I didn't notice one of my starters was out with an injury. Luckily I still won the league match as every point is crucial in my quest to stay up this season.I have noticed a lot of late game yellow and second yellow from some of my guys.

i dont think its the toughest one,(probably it is only for this season) i think every division is balanced since there are always higher and lower division teams going to div2 ( like in any div) which it makes it tough.maybe you wont see some of those teams next season. by the way... i played against those 4 teams at the bottom of division2.1 when we were in div3 before the realigment.i dont think its the toughest one,(probably it is only for this season)
