Now lets fill it up with players.

Not sure if I should smile or cry. For despite my best cup run to-date, losing to a vulnerable Redevil weakened by injury and suspension, the game turned out to be an upset… in his favour! A monster team no doubt, ReDevil UniteD combined a strong defence with a formidable midfield and decent attack ratings. Having nurtured my TS, I knew home advantage would give me an edge in possession while my form was good leading into the game. Although I managed to whip up a decent defence, my choice of a single wing and central attack did not pay off the way I had hoped. Well, that’s what cup competition is all about… I can almost hear the ESPN announcer mouthing that useless phrase!

You know, staging a strong cup run may come at the expense of your series ranking, and some players are more than happy to remain in the bottom 4 if only to prolong their cup run. Is it worth it? Depends on your motivation I guess…

After the high of beating Kota Damansara (guess I had my fair share of luck!), it all seems like an anti-climax. All that’s left now is the league, and with 3 monster teams ahead of me, perhaps it’s time to dust off my West Wing DVDs and hunker down for what’s left of the season…
