Well, I beat QPR FC, who I'd guess probably have a better team than Real Sydney, the only thing is I'm away this time. You beat SC Canasky, I'm sure you can beat this side... they must be good to get this far (unless they've had crap opponents) and their rank is probably so high because they win every game in an easy league and are doing well in cups. 
The team I play use 4-3-3 so the best way to counter that is to use it myself, so there's not really much I can do tactically.

Well, when I meant "tactically", I mean using the 4-3-3 again (had to use it against SCC - they did too) since my next opponents ALSO use it (notice the recurring theme?). But this time swap a midfielder and striker around (both can play adequately in both) so I have a quicker strike force.
Also, interestingly enough, I've played this team before in the Sonic Blast Cup, where he dumped me out 6-1. Time for a bit of revenge me thinks...

The only tactical change I usually see with the 4-3-3 is long balls or wings. But swaping players would be another.

Same here, best cup run, previous was about two wins. 
I won 2-1 away, went 1-0 down after 38 minutes, but equalised after half time and then took the lead... held on for the win.
50% possession away ain't bad, and with 13-3 SC, 2-0 would've been fairer, but my team showed good spirit (Team Spirit ) and came from behind to win.

Erm, Il mio Gatto Grasso, just seen your draw... Lech Poznan, Spanish champions... 
I drew Turncoat Xi, Norwegian div3, I should win looking at the values of his team, his keeper's about £250k iirc so he'll probably save most of my player's shots, the rest of the team aren't that good but his strikers will probably score anyway. Just hope mine out score his.
Anyway, look in the Sportsmans Cup thread, I hammered Poznan iirc, 20-9 SC or something, and they won 4-0. I was at home.
I had awful luck that day, I hope that you can beat them for revenge on my behalf and also so you get to the money rounds.
I think it's about time they bad some bad luck against an English side...

The Hurricanes, I lost to him recently, 3-1, I can't even remember the stats, but I wasn't happy so something must've annoyed me. He's in div2.1 I think, same as Oscar Rehnberg, so not bad, and doing well in the matches I've seen him play he's top of my FL with all his games won... uses the 4-3-3 with wings.

Well if I'm to get to the money rounds, it'll be the hard way...
Although oddly enough, I haven't conceded a goal in the cup so far.
Just jinxed that then I guess
Squad values - very similar. Hopefully because my 8-ball goalie is on 9 form, he'll be able to keep out more shots.
Might be able to get a better midfielder to give me an edge by tuesday too.
Think it might be my round to go out though...

There's two decent ones going for around £350k each, 23 and 21, both are pretty good with good potential. Deadlines tomorrow.
It'd annoy me if I went out now after beating two top league champions and then going out to a div3 team, the underdogs always seem to be favoured in cups... but then with my cup form, no one should expect me to win.
Hope you can make it as well, btw did VprArs06 say something about The Hurricanes? Think it was this cup. Unruly played and beat them 2-0 or so today, check it out.

Yeah it is, I remember him posting on the hockey forum as well.
Oi, Steve, bugger off and let us win in my FL.
And btw, I'd love to play you in the final... if only for the reason of making the final and all that lovely income.

Crikey Chris, I've tried my reserves against you and my team still wins, I think I need some youths, maybe just maybe you'll win then
Seriously, I've got that big game against V V, I'm just happy to make the money rounds and shocked that my team is still in all 3 cups at the moment. My team is superb in the FLs, in their best form ever in the cups(which surely can't last), then they turn up drunk in more than half of their league matches???
V V, Good luck in the cup match.

Nah, youths are no good, unless they're awful recycled youths like I got this season...

Woohoo!
65% possession, 17-3 SC, Turncoat XI didn't turn out to be an even match for us, so they got their coats and went home.
lol
0-2 away win, didn't look good after two of our shots hitting the post, but it was our day after all. Now through to the money rounds after a confortable victory on the road, hopefully back home next so along with half the ticket sales, I can get some facility income.

Hahaha...
I just saw...
Scoring chances: 6-17
Congrats myfatcat...
1-0, he beat me 0-4 when I played him, albeit SC was the other way around when I played him. But this time he lost away when deserving to win, rather than getting an away win against the run of play \o/
We're both through... hehe... and either Steve or VprArs as well... c'mon SG members.
