Catbel Athletic
Let me take you back in time.
Almost 3 seasons ago, season 9 was
about to start.
It was a little less than 2 years
that I had taken over the management of Catbel Athletic. (which in fact was in
week 8 in season 7).
Catbel Athletic was a big name in
SAEFL, a mighty champion from the past.
But unfortunately, the term “past”
was more appropriate for the team that I inherited, than the word
“champion”. It’s not unusual that a manager who all of a sudden can’t find
the time to take care of a team, still holds on to a team, hoping that it will
work out fine at a later stage.
But sadly, in most occasions that
later stage doesn’t come along, and the team gets neglected.
That was exactly what happened to
CA, and when I took over, I had some serious rebuilding to do. I was happy to
have so many managers trying to help me out –I can remember lively
email-discurssions with Mike and Nathan, Mark even coming over to my home to
help me out with all these DM/ZD/OFF/CF/CB/GC thingies, and even Bart giving
good advice. (Well, actually: he told me to do something, I did the opposite,
and that usually worked!.
Everyone seemed very
enthousiastic about this game, and that worked contageous.
It didn’t take long for me to get
just as enthousiastic, and that was exactly what I needed to find out how the
basics of this game worked. You know, the tactics and styles and players and
stuff.
Knowing that, I figured out that
it would be a very tough job to keep CA in div 1.
Sure, I needed to rebuild, and
serious, but not at all expense, because I wanted to play in div 1 very much.
That was where the people I knew played, and of course it’s the most fun to
play against them. For 2 years in a row, CA was a team destined to relegate. In
fact, when I took over, CA had 0 points out of 5 league matches played.
However, somehow, we miraculously escaped from relegation in the very last week of the season, after being in the relegation zone the entire season.
But then season 9 is there.
After almost 2 seasons of
rebuilding, trading, buying youth players from the transferlist, and ordering
youth at the beginning of the season, CA has turned from an ugly duckling team
into a team that you can be proud of. A team that looks capable of going
for something, and still contain a nice future as well.
In my case, I chose to go for the cup. Of course, I knew there were better teams competing in the cup, and that our chances on actually winning the cup weren’t too big, but at least I wanted to see how far CA could get.
Unfortunately, CA met a lot of bad luck that season. Matches were lost that should have been won, red cards in important matches, and so on.
Still, we weren’t worried, as the CA squad had so much quality, relegation would be no option, we would eventually manage to stay in anyway.
Until the semi finals of the cup
were to be played.
After another series of unfortunate
losses, CA was still in deep trouble in the league, and with only a couple of
matches left to play, we couldn’t afford to give away any league match.
That is when the painful decision
had to be made to give up on the cup, and go for another escape.
TH were very lucky with the walkover
in the semi-final. They easily beat CA twice (a 77.5 NSL team And a 80.25
NSL team, and that made that they were fit enough for the final to eventually
win it. Who knows what might have happened if CA would have been safe in the
league, and could have gone all the way in those semi-finals….
Anyway, our aim was at the league
now.
But it appeared to be too late.
In spite of our efforts, we
just missed out on reaching position nr. 9.
It was frustrating in a way. After
being able to escape relegation with a rather bad team, I finally went down
with a pretty good team.
Anyway, there was no time to be
sad about it.
I had to look at the positive things there were about this relegation.
There was at least 1: Bart had
always been shouting how he had won everything there is to win in SAEFL: div 2,
the cup, div 1, and eventually the world cup too.
(It is obvious that he was
shouting this before div 3 was created).
Now I knew I had the opportunity to
achieve the same: the only way to win the same things as Bart (and shut him up)
meant that I also had to win div 2. For that, a relegation was needed, and
although you don’t plan on it, when it occurs you have to take that chance.
The season in div 2 was very difficult. The average quality of the teams is, with all respect, not as good as in div 1. But that won’t be a surprise, they aren’t 2 different divisions for no reason. But the div 2 teams, or at least their manager, turned out to be just as tough to play against. In div 1, the managers are all very predictible. You can analyse what they will play against you, and you are right in 90% of the cases, even when it comes to playing boosts and grudges.
Div 2 is totally different, and
that is a lot of fun.
Anyway, it was a tough season, like
I said, but we eventually made it: CA won the div 2 championship.
That season, season 10, turned
out to be very important step in CA’s rebuilding process.
We were able to let talents grow,
and could go for prizes (wining that title) at the same time.
When that succeeded, CA had a very
promising roster.
There were a lot of young and
promising players in our squad, and on top of that, the title and the promotion
had earned us a lot of cash.
Pretty good conditions to try to
make season 11 the best season in this managers history.
With already some good players in
our team, and some nice young talents too, I thought it might be possible to go
and build a strong top 11, a team to win me the cup.
Teams like TH and AA were too good, I could never win more points than them in the league, but in the cup I would have a chance.
So, I started to trade and build
towards good cup team. I needed to have 11 really good players, preferrably
freaks.
The first one I obtained was AS
Damaseb. I could get him from TB, because Jeroen wanted to rebuild.
That transfer got the trades
snowballing. CA could add world class players like Thor, Garanhao and Bremmner
to the squad. Those transfers made not only that CA turned into a team that
could go and win prizes, but it also weakened TB, TH and AA for at least
this season.
And since they were –in my eyes- the biggest title contenders, I realized that there were other opportunities all of a sudden: the title!
Of course, it was impossible to win the double. Both because my own team was not strong enough to fight both battles, and also because other teams were pretty strong as well.
(In fact, I am afraid that winning the double will be impossible for any team in the next couple of years, because there are more “Very good teams” than there were a couple of years ago, and the differences between them aren’t that big.
So if you want to win the title, you can’t afford to lose SP in the cup, or the other way around).
Anyway, choosing between going for the cup or the title wasn’t a tough decision of course: We would go for the championship!
It has been a tough, tough season. The start was rather good for CA, but AA, in spite of all that rebuilding, just didn’t lose any points either.
After midseason aging, AA only got stronger. And not just AA, TB was another team that got a lot stronger after midseason aging, and who just didn’t seem to lose points anymore, when AA and CA did lose some points once in a while (I still have nightmares when I think about those matches against LU, Nuno!!).
The last weeks have been nerve-wrecking, but eventually I guess it was the strong squad that CA had, that made the difference. With all respect to AA and TB, and without any false modesty (which by the way is the most severe way of arrogance), I think I can say that CA really had the strongest and best team this season. One look at the stats that Terry provides us every week (Thanks for that Terry, I hope you’ll keep up the good work next season too) shows that CA has the best stats. In fact, when you look at those stats, you’d be surprised that it took so long before the race for the title had been decided.
When you keep that in mind, you will realize what a great performance Nathan and Jeroen –just to name the 2 most “dangerous” teams for CA- have put on the pitch.
Next year, CA won’t be this strong for sure, and since TB and AA have only been getting better, I think we will have to watch out for them next year.
Thanks to everyone who has made this season so fantastic, once again!a
Excelsior
From the
Excelsior Herald...
What a season. Relegation! But what are
the thoughts of the manager after all that...
A hard
season. Two bouts of bad
ageing were enough to kill off what had seemed to be a promising team. Ageing
is random and it is hard to combat. OK Excelsior hardly entered the transfer
market, but I think there are too few players available in the drafts each
week; that is why the players that are available go for silly money. Again we
did little trading, but most mamangers want to trrade for quality, not take your dross in exchange for
their quality. Few people want money for good players as most teams have all
the moeny they need. Difficult to
see a way back. Now SAEFL has three divisions I believe the weekly draft
has to be expanded, both to bring the prices down to reasonable levels and to
give more teams a chance of signing someone half decent.
I would also favour
making players stats available to their manager. The league is currently
divided between those with the know how, time and
patience to work out all the stats and those who haven't. I agree that I should
have to put in the effort to scout the stats of other manager's players, but I
should know the abilties and temperaments of my own.

IQ is in the cup final! I guess that's a
Another squeaker in the league game. Even Napoleon
said he'd rather have a marshall who was lucky than
good. The boost isn't a big
mystery. It was play
it then or waste it against CA in this week's game. CA is just too good this season. Thank goodness for penalties! This is the second time in 2 weeks that
Season recap.
Due to a series of unfortunate events we stubled into division 1 for this season. It
showed. In the first half of the season
we didn't do well, basically staying in the relegation zone. We did well in the early rounds of the cup
but that's because we drew opponents who didn't care about the cup. In that case it's easy to make it to at least
the quarterfinals. So realisitcally we were in division 1 with a good caliber 2nd
division team.
Then came the mid-season aging. I got my first
freak player since taking over IQ; M.Hamm. Not only that but the total NSL for the team
jumped by at least 7 points. So we were
a completely different team. Not only
could we field a 100 NSL team but we actually had some depth! For once, different tactics/styles were an
option. I even managed a couple of wins
with defensive arrangements something that had not worked previously. I could use different arrangements of ONE to
counter CP as well as WH or even BC.
Tactics! Who would have
thought? So we managed to not
relegate. Since we play top of the table
CA in a meaningless game we'll probably drop out of the playoff zone for the interEFL cup but that's fine. We have the cup final waiting for us!
Curiously, IQ really benefited from home field
advantage. I think we had as many home
wins as away defeats. Considering the
number of one goal games we had that advantage was crucial. I'm awaiting the end of season aging with
trepidation. I'm not sure we'll be as
strong of a team. A lot will depend upon
which mid age players have peaked.
My goal for the season was limited. Don't relegate. With the stronger second half team that was
pretty much a foregone conclusion. That
meant I could focus more on the cup. I
was certain of making to the semis. I
didn't know if we could make it to the final.
But we did. So we'll have to see
what happens. If I continue to be lucky
then we might even win it!

Well,
this was a poor season from LU, we made some mistakes that cost us the points
we now need to stay
in
DIv 1, but the team is aging fast and we need new
blood so it`s better to drop to the 2nd league
and stay there 2 or 3 seasons and build up again.
Congratulations to the winners. Thank you all.

3) Havng a manager that was too busy to be affective, thus
leading to relagation
The Boelewieten
Boelewieten In Sight week 25
We faced some real NC power that overwhelmed TB. Despite good emping there was nothing to do about it. The run for second or first place in the league cost the players to much Stanimapoints, and with a small selection of 27 players that’s starting to hurt. The two young players, CF B. Artswish and CM H. Goodbey performed at an average level, Goodbey showed that he has potential to lead the squad in the future, a positive element of the NC-TB game. AA spilled also points and with 1 week to go it was possible to catch them, TB going to the second place and a highlight of the Boowies in recent years. That brings us to a review of season 11, and a preview to season 12.
The Boelewieten started this season with huge trading. Sometimes I wondered myself if there wasn’t a 360 degrees kind of trading that took place. Trade trade trade to get the player y want, or not, because the manager did not check aging of the red/yellow cards a player received last season, and therefore that player was not interesting enough for the goal I obtained. I looked how some managers trade in a different league, how they (or must I say he) trades away top players to get a top and high emping team, resulting in a small but also very effective selection of players. But the result of TB was I side too much oriented on ZD which is a tactic to secure a draw and can give some problems when y really need a win. It generates not that many shots on the opponents Goalkeeper and with the funny commishmachine the production of needed goals sometimes stuck, or y get an over exited nsl 8 GK who plays the game of its life, in short, we lost too many points by that.
Early season we made not a real decision for what our real aim was, the cup or the league. What played a big role was the TB struggle in the relegation zone last year. I did not believe we could be competitive in both, and had fear for losing to many points when using grudges and boost in the cup, an inevitable relegation to the second division. So we survived the qualifying round using even longball (what got me thinking) to win games, but against FI, again FI, we let the chance of cup glory go.
TB’s position after the first few matches on the table remembered me of the relegation battle last year; the emping we achieved gave also hope. Mid table just before midseason aging, and aging itself was like a bad fools day joke, could not believe my eyes. Two freaks rolled out, and all youngsters, well, I exclude here the striker and GK section, aged very well. With three grudges in the pocket I believed we had a good chance as an outsider to make a difference in the battle. The benefit of an outsider is that y can avoid grudges or boost from other teams. With the feeling of having a chance and having thee incentives to play we approached the top of the league aggressive, playing the top three, CA, AA and JG in a away game with a grudge and winning all three games. So, readers, we killed the top three ;-).
I killed also some friendships this season, but that scenario is common for the manager, a grudge can’t ruin what a pitcher of beer can repair! We are not talking about woman and love affairs here! The grudge-seed I planted this season can have some effect next season, its there frustration among managers that must be sublimated on the Boowies? Gladly I know that all respected managers will not be guided by their emotions, so a sunny season 12 for TB!
The Jazz Greats
First i want to congratulate
all winners so far! Ivo, Martijn,
Claudio, well done! I think for all those three managers it's there first
league title in SAEFL (or any EFL?) and this bodes ill for the EFL elite as it
existed until now :) Which is a good thing of course!
For me it's hard to say if this season has gone well
or not. Basically this whole season was one big prelude to week 26: The Cup
Final!
If i win the season is
great, if i don't well, i
won't say the season is a waste but i think i could have ended top three in the league with this team
if i had less cup efforts so...
The cupmatch itself is going
to be a tough one. Terry has become a excellent
manager in a very short time and with IQ he has a team that can perform very
well. That's problem one.
Problem two is that i
checked out some earlier matches and it seems that Terry has discovered the OFF
tactic. That means i can't play my usual WP because
OFF will kill it as Ivo kindly has shown me. So i can't play WP,..that
really really sucks!
I'll have to choose between an antitactic or play just plain defensive. But then a
full out ONE or WH tactic will probably beat me by a smalll
margin. Well, these are the cup dilemma's :(
Problem three is that i have
a hangover but that's not really relevant.
As for the next season. I will need to rebuild again so all my great WP players
are for trade for AS's and CM's! Contact me after the
aging...
Good luck!
Tottenford Heats
Well it's the last week of the season and TH didn't
win anything unfortunately. But if you look at all the trades I made in the
first few weeks You can't call that a surprise. I
basically traded all players who won the title for me last season to CA and
they did the trick for him as well :). I got some very promising talents in
return and I hope they will be good enough after the coming aging. With a few strategic
trades in the beginning of next season we might be a sub top team again.
We will also start the new season with a new Logo.
With special thanks to Claudio from the defrosted tunafish ! thanks claudio !!
now lets wait and see if I can climb 1 or 2 spots in the
league table. To do that I will have to beat EW and at least 1 of the 3 teams
direct above me should loose.
oh and peter, as always thanks for running the games
every week again. you changed a lot this season, a new
MR layout for instance a new division and probably also stuff we don't directly
see.
DIVISION 2
Adirondak Renegades
Adirondak
press (AP): Congratulations on making the playoffs!
Manager
Fulmer (MF): Thanks. Our goal for the season was just to avoid relegation while
the side developed. Making the playoffs was a nice bonus. Especially since I
think we had no points the first 7 weeks of the season.
AP: AR had
a nice decisive victory to lock up the playoff spot.
MF: Yes,
although it was against an AS side that was looking at several young players.
But still, the win allows me to rest my top guys for the playoffs and check out
some young players. It was good to see some strong performances in the match
from young players. 22yo S. Mann had a hat trick in her second match of the season.
This is after scoring 6 times in her first match last week. And 21 yo Evans, who is the second ranked GK in Div 2, saved 7 of
12 shots so he should hang onto that ranking.
AP: Any
thoughts on the playoffs?
MF: Not
yet. We have been focusing on making them first. Maybe next
week :)
African Selection
Bad Luck
this season sees the Selects continue their free fall from the first division.
The year started with a thought to move away from the attacking soccer that got
the Selects up and kept them in the first division for a number of seasons. It
was just too hard to keep the forwards - in drafting, in purchasing (where is
this $$$ coming from?????) and in trades. I found it really hard to make trades
(probably in part due to my non-SAEFL work load).
Congrats to
the winners ! Well done. I take some pride in the fact
that we actually scored on GU (no mean feat by any stretch of the
imagination!).
I hope you
all have a wonderful off season. Hopefully your aging goes well for you.

* Going out early in cup
Melchester Rovers
Well last week we lost to DL, which was not that big
of surprise because they are the champions.
A win would have been nice but we won't complain that much.
We will be in the playoffs and second place was a long
shot for us anyway.
This week we play AS, who are going to relegate. This would lead one to believe that we should
beat them. When we played them in the
beginning of the season, it was a 0-0 draw. Of course, we want the win this week but if we
tie again or even if we lose, we will still be in the playoffs. So this game is almost useless for us except
that something crazy might happen and we do end up in second place if we win
and also that we would like a higher spot for the playoffs.
As for the season, it was not the best one. This is only my third season in SAEFL. The first, we did not even make the playoffs
but we were close. The second season was
the exciting one for PN. It started out
simply okay but somewhere in the middle we took off and sat in second place for
the majority of the season. The last
game of the season, we were playing a team who was not that close to us in the
standings but they played a grudge against us anyway and won so we lost second
place right at the very end. Then all
our players had such bad stamina, we couldn't risk it and lost in the
playoffs. This got me my nickname 'Bad
Luck' Kelly :).
As it turned out, we probably were not good enough for
Div 1 this season anywaybecause our aging did not
turn out very well. The beginning of
this season we lost a lot, tied every now and then and rarely won. We were not even in the playoff zone at
mid-season aging. That aging was not bad
for us and we started winning games which is how we are in fourth place right
now. We'll probably end in fourth, maybe
third, and then we will go into the playoffs.
We might or might not win in the playoffs but we have a better team so
next year should be a better season for us.
Stannington Historical
"We are going to do everything in our power to
upset TJ in the final regular week of the season. Our friends at ES sure could
use our help as they battle with a glimmer of hope for the final playoff
spot.
ES has a tough order ahead of them playing GU in their
final regular match of the season. But
when we beat TJ and if ES can get by GU then ES could get the final playoff
spot over TJ. It is like I said previously," Since we found out that SH
was going to be relegated, it was decided by our coaching staff that we wanted
to make life miserable for those playing us. Last week, SH
managed to do that versus DS. Now if we can do this against TJ. "
SH Manager
Lear went onto say,"In this match against TJ, we
are taking a no holds barred approach. We will be coming at TJ in wave after
wave. They will know that we are coming after them. Our lads are definitely
looking forward to this match. SH versus TJ should be a cracker of a match with
plenty of goals being scored.!"

pleased to announce their player awards for the season. Here they are:

Since this
is the final week of the regular SAEFL season, SH would like to thank League Commish Peter Babcock for usual outstanding job in keeping
the SAEFL running on all cylinders. Despite our travel to D-3 for next season,
we are looking forward to next season with great anticipation because of the
maturing of our Kiddie's Corp. We took our lumps and
bumps this season but because SH went on a youth movement, we anticipated this
and are prepared for one season in D-3.
I truly like SH's chances for a successful trip back to D-2 after next
season. Good luck to all playoff

End of season
Regular season ends this week, and then its only the playoffs left for us at AV.
This was the first season with a third
division and also the comeback for me in SAEFL. I started off good with a few
trades and some wins, but never really had a chance at the title. But a playoff
spot is good news. In the latest games we have rested our roster to get the
best 11 to play in the playoffs. Hopefully we can get a promotion but it will
be hard.
Blue Storm FC
It's the
final game of the season and that means that Wayne United and Fanatics United
get to go head to head this week. Even though the Coaches and managers of these
two teams are close friends they have not spoekn over
the game. This will be a close game to watch.
See you in

upset esp considering that he could have of won the Broze boot award for most goals this season… oh well, with
only 1 goal
seperating us from Hayes im pretty sure he cant win it now! but...
with any luck :p and some bad luck from hayes we can
manage to grab it :)
otherwise, been an awesome season for DT - with 352 goals to
date and one game left :) its been a goals fiesta for us !
Congratz to FU for being promoted aswell,
was a close season against him and his team, will be very interesting how we
play in Div2
against each other - if we still have the "grudge" or we
save them for our div2 opponents :)
as for the play offs… that’s going to be great fun to watch
and good luck to everyone who makes it!
with next season there will be a world cup.. DEF looking forward
to that - should be great games there - as for the ageing aswell…
hmmm,
not sure what to expect from that - next season I dotn think DT has a very good chance to win the season or
come anywhere close to the playoffs -
but we will def try do out best and not throw our promotion
away! more of a rebuilding season for DT i think...
congratz to the Div1 and Div2 winnin
teams - div 1 was very exciting to watch, coming down to the last few games of
the season…. :)
as for this week - we gonna try play
an OFF - have played WP everygame of this season… so
we'll try a change and see if DT can pull off a win with
something new, esp going against a
WP team FE was the first game we played this season and we drew 15-15 :) so a
great game will be expected from
the 2 of us! good luck FE - they definitly qualified for the play offs - so lets hope they dont play their best team :P
Also
desigin a Trophy for each Division… if anyone has a
design they wanna put forward, gimme
a shout and ill create it for saefl
got div1's trophy so
far - lemme know what ya
all think esp CA :)

Last game of the
season and we are sitting in the red. BLEH!! So much for
wanting to finish mid-table. Anyhow lessons have been learnt the hard
way and we hope to have a better season next year.

Second is
good, for a moment there I thought I was going to draw, in the last game,
but we
came through in the end. We should have beating FA by more, we had a
better
team. My
friend always tells me that the score board has no comments, except in
SAEFL.
I am up now
against my friend in the next game, so in true SAEFL tradition there
will be
grudge cards, I didn't have one though, here is hoping BS don't have any
either.
Looking
into the next season, cheers for now...

Morale is high in team. Great team spirit going.
Each team member is there for the other. In this light the coach has decided to
give some youngsters an oppertunity how still
balanced the team with more experienced players to assist with confidence and
still create stability.
