Season 30 Week 2 processing...

Welcome to week 2 the reset is running...

The excitement builds

I've completed the data entry and have started to run the friendly games. the league games might be slightly later than normal, more info to follow...

I’ll be refreshing my screen like buggery knowing full well I have little hope of a win but it’s good to dream

Gameweek 2


Tottenham Vs Watford
An away trip for Watford this week at newly promoted Spurs who found themselves of a tough opening game against a strong Plymouth side with a point to prove. Will they find the visitors of Watford easier opponents, i hope not! Strong start to the season for Watford regards performances and results. Onyl changed is Soyuncu in for the departed Kompany who has served Watford well over his career, Maguire getting a cup game to get used to his new team. 

Watford Vs Milan
Home game for Watford to kick off there defence of Europe, can they win it back to back? A few changes this week to give some the of the players much needed game time, a happy squad is a winning squad. Need to keep players fresh in the league also. Maguire to make debut in Cup, with like of Dier and Barkley getting some deserved minutes.

Genk Vs Feyenoord 
A home game for the Champions of the dutch league, some players having recently been reviewed demanding game time, so manager is willing to give them a chance to prove themselves or might find themselves looking for a new club should they fail to impress. League game this week important to set the pace for the other teams, however main focus will be Europa for Genk.. Barcelona await.

Genk Vs Barcelona
Probably one of the biggest games in Genk's history playing against the Champions of Spain this week, always good to test yourself against one of the best teams and managers in the game. Will be very interesting to see how this game unfolds, full strength team albeit not fully trained up hopefully the team can make the Home advantage count!

Botafogo Vs Gremio
Home game vs a newly promoted side for Botafogo, injury to Grimaldo last week gives the space for the versatile Tete to impress at LK. Botafogo need to keep up the momentum from last season and pick up maximum points where possible and the Fans will certainly believe this game is one the team should be winning.  

Botafogo Vs Corinthians 
Another Home game, giving Botafogo the edge this week with little travelling involved. However, not endured the best of runs in the Copa tournament under current manager who will be thinking his squad has been improved over the off season to make a decent push this season. And winning the home games are a must. Hopefully Sturridge can open his account this week.
