A HISTORY OF SAEFL (Season 7) – EPIC BATTLES
Season 6 saw NW win the league with a equally as big a squad of monsters as in season 5. AA had also strengthened through the season – so how would the relatively young guns fare against the old masters; and could any other side break into the top 2? Lets take a gander …
Season 7
§
In the opening games, AA beat EW,
with Sylfar (12.25), mills (10) and Simpson (12.5)
looking in awesome form.
§
NW destroy LU 12-0 – although
that was not surprising with the home team fielding 110 NSL worth of talent
including Berlinnin (12), Todi
(12.5) and Rowbottom (12.5).
§
JG and GU draw 0-0 – not a shock
result given defences including Nick (JG – 10) and McGoo
(GU – 10.5).
§
NH find
out what re-joining the elite is like with a 10-7 loss to OC. Every Oaklake
player has 10 NSL to his name – a rate occurrence; NH field a top WH in Mars
(10)
§
IQ and AP draw 0-0. G. Hoddle was at
his majestic best (12.5) for the home side; AP used a great Striker in
§
In a slight shock, TH beat CA
1-0. FB Noah (10) and CF King (11) star
for TH; MF Thornley (11) does the business for Catbel
In division 2:
§
FI and AS draw 0-0 – AM Collins
(10) and FB R. Carlos (10) put in performances for their respective sides
§
DL 14 – 17 PN:
§
Stalemate between AR and SH. DS Rincewind (AR –
10) and DM C. Mills (9) ensure a 0-0
§
Also 0-0 between ES and TB. FB Blass (8.75) and FB Horne (10) look gooduns
§
A great game between EU and TJ
ends 12-12. WH Rilquelme
(10) and AS Thundercats 10) are on the scoresheet
§
MR 17 – 9 DS as the home side
look to bounce back from relegation.
CF’s J. Euell (12) and Zahovic
(12.5) show why the home side have a chance of moving on up; DS have their own
star in CF Stewart (12)
Trade wise – nothing
happened in week 1!
Week 2, and the two sides
likely to slug it out for promotion show why.
NW rest half their players, still put 105 NSL on the pitch, and still
EMP c17 despite CA playing OFF to Noshaki’s WP.
AA play an absolutely
superb defensive line up as they crush TH 2-0 : GK P.

No trades in week 2.
HUGE
HUGE HUGE
shock in the cup as PN beat NW 2-0. Perhaps Mike thought
AA are
the biggest traders in week 3. They get
rid of a number of players but, importantly for the future, bring in 9.5 22 CM Wictoria from PN for 1 8 20 GK and cash. It would prove a shrewd move.
From the commy list, TJ pick up AS 6.5 20 R.Kirk for
125k. Not a bad move.
Sometimes grudges can make
the difference between 3 points and 1.
And in week 4, AP show just how to use a +10%er. Against a defensive EW, the game would have
ended up 120 EMP a piece, 0 shots a piece and 1 point a piece. The grudge gave AP 12 EMP more, 2 shots, and,
most importantly, 1 goal.
Week 4 also saw … hold on
… no trades again?!
Cup 2nd legs
took place in week 5. Shocks see LU lose
out to NH, TB beat IQ, TH beat CA, and EU lose out to a SA side, plus …
PN beat NW after a penalty
shoot out! – take a look for yourself:

(yes, 167) EMP v 158. AA were probably
lucky to get away with 0 shots against them – but this game has to rank as one
of the best ever 0-0s in the history of SAEFL.
Week 11 sees AA score 27
and NW score 22. At least CA managed to
score 5 against the Alcies – no one had managed a
single goal that season against the Pubmen until that
point.
In division 2, FI seem to
be walking away with the league, and a 2-0 win against EU keeps their unbeaten
start to the season intact.
On to week 13, and ageing
time – and although NW look a little weaker, they still look very strong, and
thump JG 7-0. By tis
stage, DS McGooJr is a 10 NSL player and threatening
to usurp his father as the best DS ever (well, maybe not quite). TJ’s AS Thundercats is now a 10.25 freak (one of about 3 AS I would
regret selling in no time at all!). CM Neitzche is also a freak at 10.5 and looking very much the
part at SH – but the other players in the team cannot quite match his quality.
Week 13 and 14 – JG pick
up a 12.5 S from their own ranks, and sign 11.5 MF Thornley
and AS 11 McPhysto in quick succession. Are they turning into the new Noshaki?
No wonder I’ve never
really liked DS – it must be the shock 2-0 cup defeat they inflicted on my club
in week 15. Slap on my wrist for not
selecting a captain!
Week 17, and NW nearly
come unstuck against GU. One shot, one
goal – take a bow, Cassidy. In league 2,
TB and FI are having great runs, and look as though they will battle it out for
the title with MR, who nearly slip up against SH with
an illegal formation.
Week 18 sees AA create 4
chances against DS, but score only 1 – meaning that the top two sides in the
top division went out of the cup before the semi-final stage in season 7. JG, TH and OC also advance to make it a
compelling last 4.
In
the league, and NW and AA have still only drawn 1 game each – against each
other. Perhaps
someone was getting a little jealous when writing the report for AA 2 – 0 NH:
“AA isn't
going to let their chance at the title slip as well it seems. Allthough i'm sure GK Wilcox gave
them a bit of a scare... NH is in big trouble, plain and simple. I'm not saying
their situation is hopeless but it is close to it. AA is a solid team that one
could admire if their tactics weren't so utterly boring....Hi Nath !
Guess who :-)”
This changes in week 18
when CA some how sneak a 12-12 draw with AA (who had nearly twice the shots –
39 to 21). This hands the advantage to
NW, who are still eeking out
wins.
The following 2 weeks see
AA sneak very narrow wins, while NW comfortably win both games – so it heads
for the shoot-out of AA v NW, with the former needing to win to try and claim
the title.
Mind you, division 2 had
its own mighty battle in week 21, when MR and AS battled it out for glory. Both grudge, but the home side have that
little more quality with Zahovic and Euell up front and win 25-20. Neither of the sides can match FI though, who
are still unbeaten and strolling to a league title.
And
so to the mother of all games – AA v NW. This game will always go down as, in real
life, Arsenal v Man U goes down in football (and the wrong side usually wins
that one!). This one was as tight as
ever. Both sides played defensively –
not suprising as TC was AA’s best tactic at the time,
and NW only needed a draw to take real command of the season with a 2 point gap
and only two games to play.
So, let’s take a look at
the outcome:

§
First thing to look out for is
the lock-out. 24,514!!!!! That must
be some sort of record, and comes from both sides not having lost in the league
for so long.
§
The second thing to note is the
performance – 160 EMP = quality – and both sides got there with grudges.
§
Then look at the sending off of Wictoria (who has always been quality, but has a
short-fuse). Had he stayed on the pitch,
AA might have yielded a shot.
§
Then take a look at the
individual performances – two AA players emped over
20 (the legendary Sylfar and Simpson), while no NW
outfield player emped under 13, and all emped over 14! Other
than Wictoria, Dada emped
under 13 and all other AA players netted over 15 in the emp stakes!!!
§
The last thing to note is the
score: 0-0 (although NW could have won after a blatant dive from Salas resulted
in a pen that Rowbottom failed to put away). Queue the celebrations for NW? Let’s see …
Not to be outdone, AP emp 153 against JG. Not bad …
In division 2, TB beat MR
to keep up the pressure on AS for the an automatic
promotion spot. FI are still strolling J
Injuries are common place
at the end of the season, with managers playing their best players as hard as
they dare. Week 23 saw 14 injuries, with
AA picking up 3 on their own – to no less than Sylfar
and Simpson, as well as keeper Java.
Ouch!
So on to week 24, and with
both NW and AA winning the previous week, AA need their title rivals to slip
up. AA beat EW 2-0 … so … so … so …
So OUCH! The club draw only their third game of the
season with a 0-0 draw against LU. But
that’s not the end of it – while NW created 0 chances, their hosts spurned two
opportunities. Cafu
and Draper had to hold their shame, and NW had
beaten AA on goal difference.
The tightest battle ever in SAEFL had ended with Noshaki
victorious.
In division 2, FI stroll J and win the title with a monumental points total. MR go
up with them, leaving others to battle it out in the play offs. By now I was a total wreck and was looking
forward to a slightly less cut-throat season in season 8!
Week 25, and the curtain
draws on another season with the cup final and play-offs. The battle for division 1 status sees AS, EU,
TB and DS draw swords. In really tight
games, AS beat EU 1-0 with the help of a penalty, and TB squeak past DS
5-3.
And
so to the final.
I have not got enough energy to tell the story of this titanic battle so
take a look for yourself:

The cup sees JG play
TH. I suppose not all cup finals can go
down to the wire, and this one didn’t. JG picked the right tactic on the day in
ZD v CP, and Totts saw two players red-carded in the
first half to take their legs away, and give Jazz a 6-0 win.
Season awards,
and the player of the season for the first time ever is NOT a striker. B. Simpson takes the plaudits, emping over 400 in a very classy season. Player2 is the midfielder of the year (he
seemed to play every game for DS given his best performance was only 15.3!),
and M. Stewart, the man who rose from obscurity to be a freak, took the forwards
award for DS as well.
I suppose it goes to show
you need more than 2 players to make a team (although DS had a good term,
beating AA in the cup and making the div 2 play offs)
AA and FI had the meanest
defences, and no manager of the year was picked (surely between NW, AA and FI J).
So, the season that saw a
titanic battle for the title (and me pulling any hair I had left out) was
over. Great stuff –
with the kind of managerial action that makes SAEFL so special.
What would transpire in season 8? Hmmm … stay tuned.
Apocalypse
Catbel Athletic
Excelsior
From the
Excelsior Herald...
Cup Shocker. Excelsior were stunned
earlier this week by third division Deo Volente. Many of the faithful were left wondering
whether this team comprising mostly ex-popes had an unseen hand shielding their
goal. It remains to be seen whewther the unfortunate
Excelsior keeper Marmont will be ex-communicated
after his 'mare between the sticks. Was this luck or was it divine
intervention? Only the away leg will tell, but there must be more than a few of
the faithful asking their god for a more even handed approach in a couple of
weeks.
F.C Inferno
I remember the old
times when SM was very frequently played! Instead of the current 4:3 ratio, the
tactic would divide opponents shots by 2 and own shots by 3. Very powerful
against the perennial high number of WP teams! Now things are different, and
much probably this won't take us anywhere. But it's a bet! Let's see!
InterQuartile Rangers
I didn't underestimate anyone. There is no skill. It's all luck. Even without the card and injury I would have
had a 3 point advantage in EMP. The
keepers differed in EMP by 0.02! Why was
the game close? His save rate was 13%
more than mine.
Luck again in the league game. In this case the card was pivotal. At least he would have had a higher EMP. Although, higher EMP
doesn't always corelate to determining the higher
scoring team.
There are some bright spots. In the league game 3 players were well over
50% in shooting, Albert (4 of 5),

The Boelewieten
Boelewieten
very in Sight
Dilemma, dilemma in this week. The cupmatch against
FI was with the second team, only FB Tyler was leading the defence, the other
players fairly new on the pitch and they performed very well. Their mission was
to keep the gap between FI and TB as small as possible and with the return homematch to come i think TB has
a good chance to go to the last 8 of the cup.
And there
is the dilemma again, with all first 11 on the bench i could gain 2 SP for every player this week, but that also
means facing CA with the same second team. Giving the league away? Is that the
consequence? Or giving a second spot away in the league, buy playing a grudge
against CA, having a lot of players on 26 SP or lower and losing next games against
AA, FI, FI again, and so out of the first half of the table, and laughed at by
FI and AA together. Between writing this press and sending the order to our commish I will alter the order probably 10 times, but that
is the guy i am, playing this game on emotion and
also trading on emotion.
And that
virus, the tradingvirus has gone skyhigh
since Nathan, Mike and Don send their transferlists, wishes into the league. Bought myself a
striker yesterdayevening, thinking about trading
before the trading, but also looking at the TB trading list this season, and
maybe, maybe, i must focus on other things, maybe maybe i must wait after season
aging, but also those temping offers. Just hope that the thrird
division transferlist keeps getting 10 players every
week so it will be interesting for those third div teams to sell players for
cash, and thats what we have
cash, let those coins roll!!
Oh yes, why
the boost? Seems this is a sort of Dutch tradition!

MF:
Definitely. A cup match at Kicker Field followed by a surreal
visit to
AP: Are you
pleased with drawing AK in the cup?
MF: I am
expecting a very tough match this week. AK have
struggled to get results in league matches, but they showed their toughness in
advancing out of the first round of the cup. I'm sure they will be intense in
defending their home turf this week.
AP: AR has
moved up the table nicely.
MF: We have
moved up to the last playoff spot. We are in a 4 way tie for that spot, but
hey, at least we are no longer on the bottom. Our remaining matches in the first
half are TJ, PN, GU and DS. That streak should knock us back down the table.
Then we can have some fun moving back up.
AP: How are
things on the trade front?
MF: Talk,
talk, talk. All talk and no action. Its like being
married.
AP: Well,
on that note we need to end this press conference and unplug the phones before
the irate calls start coming.
MF: And the
calls congratulating me.
Press
Conference held after Cup Match
AP:
Congratulations on yet another victory. It seems all I have been doing lately
is congratulating you!
MF:
Hopefully you have it all out of your system because the losses are coming,
soon…
AP: A 5
goal victory in an away match in the first cup leg is a great start. To what do
you attribute AR success.
MF: To
begin with, Hird had a great match in goal. We had 3
more shots that AK, but had 5 more goals. Hird saved
13 of 17 chances, an awesome performance.
AP: WH W.
Hell had a strong match, scoring four of ARs nine
goals on only 6 chances.
MF: You
know, its kinda funny. I
almost didn't play him. Hell is a strong young player, but sometimes his
emotions get the better of him. I wasn't sure he could funnel his emotions in a
positive direction in an important match like this. As I was making out the
line-up, I changed my mind and decided what the hell,
why not play him and see how he does. I glad I went with my gut feeling and
didn't use my brain.
AP: Your
brain must be well rested, because it doesn't look like you use it when you
make trades either.
MF: Funny…You
need a dose of Marco's Inferno Fire. Besides, I have only made one trade in the
last month. I think that shows pretty good self control.
AP: Have
you been talking about trades?
MF: Yea,
but that is Nathan's fault. Every time I say I'm done trading Nathan somehow
gets me interested again :. I even
had someone the other day tell me to quit spreading the trading virus.
AP: I think
it is now time to stop this press conference virus.
African Selection
Woah baby, the Englehart Storm join the
elite club by being one of two teams that give up two points to the Selects.
Not since the first game of the season has that unlikely event happened. At
this rate, the Selects look to finish with about 4 points on the season.
Since
apparently I am a Librarian, we had better get back to the books. Hopefully we
will have some luck against Melchester and they will
also join the exclusive club of Select point givers!
How cold
are the winters in SA? Anyone know?
Dead Scientists
Druss Legends
We where very happy with the result last
week. EU is a very
powerful team and it was a good thing we grudged them. The result could have
been copmpletely differently if we hadn't.
Englehart Storm
Grammar United
Melchester Rovers
So now we are in sixth place in Division Two. There are a lot of teams close to us in the
standings so we really need to start winning.
Coming into the season, we were considered a favorite for promotion, and
even a contender for the title.
Obviously, our team did not turn out to be that great this year but
hopefully, we will still make the playoffs.
As of now, there are several teams very close together in the playoff
picture.
DS is ahead of us
so it would move us up some if we win.
Hopefully we will but with the way it is going this season, who knows.
Stannington Historical
"Why do I feel like we are like lambs being led
to the slaughter with this week's match against DL?"
We have the right tactic to play against DL but our Kiddie Corps just doesn't have the horses to be able to
carry things out.
But we are going with a trap anyways because DL likes
the wide open attack. Maybe SH can get lucky this week.
Aging can't come too soon for us. Most SAEFL people
know that we are simply loaded with young talent and they are taking advantage
of it. All I can say is that it is going to be a different story in the 2nd
half of this season.
The Jazz
The Toons losted in the midweek cup
game Against No Shaki WC98, the game was a very tight
affair with tha away side playing a
strong
defence. The game was a midfield battle with TJ not be able to get a shoot on
goal and NW got two shoots on goal and the
NW Striker
with a shoot on target
beat the keeper, the 2nd leg we be a hard game again and
will we be good enough to break down the
home teams defence.
In the league TJ faced an away game against
DS and lost another game in the league the manger was not to please with the result,and hopes to get back to
winning ways this week with a home game against much improving side AR who are on a winning run
in the
league of 3 games. AR also had a midweek cup game which they overcome 3rd div
team AK away from home.
DIVISION 3
Aros VSK
Last
week DV was defeated by clever use of the smoother rule. This week AV face FU who is undefeated. After a tough cup-game AV are
getting rather fatigued. But this is just what AV traded for earlier in the
season. Now its time for the rotation to get the results needed. Just to help
things AV will use a grudge this week.
Blue Storm FC
Wayne
United is on a bit of a high this week after a great win in their last match.
Coach and Manager, Bryan Banfield has made few if any
changes to the teams for this week. When asked why
Defrosted TunaFish
Deo Volente
Next
3 games are going to be dam azz hard! Will be
interesting to watch! :)
Falcons
Last weeks sending
off of two players cost Falcons the game and the Falcons return home this week
looking for a solid victory.
Fanatics United
Report: Are you happy with the results
from last weeks game?
Manager: Yes, but we could have done more
damage to E. Vedder , we only had P. oFeele sent
off. Did you see Vedder's EMP hahahaha
(that's what you call cutting off the knees).
Report: I see that the roster this week
does not have the top players in, why?
Manager: Yes, I know AV thinks that are
going to do what no one else has done yet, but playing a cup game this week and
running some of his players down, I don't think he is going to be at "full
strength", and if he does field a "full strength" team I think
there will be injuries and these will not be done by me. Also I need to rest
for the next two weeks...
Report: Do you watch all the other games
or just your division?
Manager: I try to watch as many as
possible, but there are some restrictions at the moment and I am only able to
watch division 3, when these restrictions are lifted, I will continue to watch
almost all games.
Good luck to Christer
today, and let us have fun.
