Saturday Team News Update
FreeHowdy guys and girls!
Sorry for the late update with this – I was mentally and physically knackered last night after the initial update so I went to sleep it off.
Something has been made known to me overnight regarding today’s games, however. They’re still predominantly shit but we’ve got an eye on Varteks beating Cibalia in Croatia. Varteks have financial problems and lost a lot of good players, of course. Their squad has bonded well since then and they look decent at least, especially now they’re linked up with AS Roma – most probably financially too. Helpfully, Sibenik are in a terrible situation and their first-team players won’t play for them any more. Therefore, they’re left with no choice but to field their youngsters, which obviously isn’t doing them much good as they’re not very good. Word is from Croatia that we should be interested in Varteks here, guys, and I share that view on the basis that Sibenik are still in a bad way.
