| One slight change in direction this week concerning International players.
I introduced the Retirement from International Duty indicator because some managers were picking players from opposition teams and playing internationals at 9 aggression in the hope of getting the older players injured and unable to play in upcoming league games against them. And now some managers are abusing that system too. So a complete rethink was called for last week.
I've removed the International Retirement indicator, so anybody from your country can be called up. But from now on any players called up that are over 30 will cap their aggression at level 5, even if you ask them to play at level 6 or higher, they will not.
I think this is a much better system... |

I think this is a much better system... While obviously this is terrible. It does take a certain level of Machiavellian ingenuity. I’d probably employ anyone who’d give the game this level of thought!!!!! |

| Data entry has now been completed and checked, but it's a bit late, so I will begin running the games in the morning and the league games kickoff time will be advised later... |

Disappointing, although Plymouth Away is my hardest match in the group. Plus, no need to panic yet considering I scraped through last years CL group! Well done Ben - interesting to see the report... |

I think this is a much better system... Ha! I've been known to go to 9 if I'm losing at the end of a game, but I presume this is from the start! It's a bit dodgy, but a slap on the wrist would suffice. Basically, I wouldn't do anything in a match that I wouldn't expect in real life... |

| Kickoff approaches...
We have some mightily big games to enjoy this week with the two dominant sides in Brazil going head to head as Fluminense travel to Santos. The big game in England has to be Watford's visit to Charlton and in Germany Schalke face a tough trip to Berlin. There are two big games in Holland where Genk entertain Feyenoord and Ajax travel to Anderlecht. Roma take on the mighty Juventus in Italy and in Spain Barcelona face a tough trip to the Champions Valencia.
All this and the possible transfer of Neymar away from Schalke.
Good luck to everybody this week... |

Looks like being a real tough afternoon for Toulouse already two goals down to the long time French Champions. |

Tevez continually tearing through City's defence makes me think he's in the mood... |

Palace's wing play and Rondon's power proving too strong for the Gunners early doors... |
