Hello and welcome back to Doncaster. In the last episode we managed to sneak an automatic promotion spot to Division 2 with a game to spare. Once again the big club release clause looked to be our undoing but luckily the clubs trying to raid us couldn’t stump up the cash. This season we get a crack at Division 2. Let’s dive in.
August
Welcome back to your weekly update of Footbally nonsense. Lets get straight into it.
We ended last week with Dave on fine goalscoring form. Thankfully, he has carried that over to this week as well. 2 more for the big man and Blackburn have no answer, off on a winning note.
For an explanation of sorts, please see part 1.
Right, let’s get into it.
Tactics. I’m not 100% married to the players in these positions, will see how it goes. But these are the tactics I will employ for Team GB. They usually do me well, and as it’s only a one season challenge, I don’t have the time to experiment……go with what you know eh.
Good morning! Next up in our series of CM9798 listing is my take on what I would class as frauds.These are players who basically whenever I have them in my ranks they are dreadful. Put them in an AI team though and they are unstoppable. Somebody smarter than me might do the research on why that is one day, but until then, here we go…

Bom Dia! and happy Friday to you. Capping another full week of Blog Squad adventures is Nick with his Portuguese Wolves, who are in with a sniff of European football with just five games of the season remaining, so how will it all unravel? Over to Nick…
Here’s how things stand. After last season’s 4th place finish, I was quietly confident going into this campaign, but it’s been a bit of a topsy-turvy season, and we’ve never really properly got going, so if we do manage to sneak a European place, I’ll be over the bloody moon.
Hello – it’s Thursday morning so time for another spin around Elland Road and the middle of Season 5 for my African Tribe. We’ve made a blistering start to this season, topping the table and progressing well in the Uefa Cup – so can this be the season where glory is destined?
Here’s the table after 13 games:
Hello and welcome back to Doncaster. Last season was a gut punch we didn’t recover from. We lost Totti after 4 games. Went on an incredible run of form until March where we had our defence and top scorer ripped away due to the big club release clause. We never recovered and slipped from 2nd to the playoffs and lost to Hull in the Semi Final. Over the summer we have rebuilt the defence and signed new boys up front.
Welcome back to my weekly round up of the life and times of some of the world’s most famous CM9798 bloggers. Where they transfer their writing skills to the football pitch.
We will start this week with the arrival of Newcastle to the arena. Dave is not one for sentiment. He gives them the business with the winning goal. I hope he celebrated!
Catch up with part 1 here.
After a couple of friendlies I’m going with this formation and starting line up. Competition for places.
This had alway been my go-to formation. Again before joining Twitter, was unaware of the 2-3-1-2-2. That’s a good formation and effective, but I find it’s difficult to get the whole team to play well. Wing-backs in particular. This formation will get everyone 7.20+ if they are the right fit and good enough. It’s all opinions and preferences.
Continue readingHello there! Throughout January I will be looking back over 10 years of running this very blog. Last week we started with my ten favourite blog saves and this week we’ve moved on to my top 10 cult heroes.
A cult hero is somewhat of an unlikely hero, so you won’t see Ronaldo or Zidane on this list but more people who have given us some laughs and unlikely successes.
Let’s get down to business…
