Teams you struggle against

[LG 360 bayb]

Are there any teams in your Master League that no matter what will always elude the form guide? Forever providing your side with a tough 90minutes, matched by few others. Whether it be a slow, defensive performance with goals few are far between. Is the end result always a draw, both sides unable to best another. Or are they a side that will beat you despite your club being on a 10 game winning streak, with all your players on red hot form, will just edge ahead victorious.

For me it's Villarreal. Not even the European greats can push me like 'El Submarino Amarillo'. I don't know how they do it. Their final league standing varies from Europa League places to mid table but in those 2 fixtures, they're the greatest counter attacking team ever essembled. Usually it's a 2-1 victory to them but I remember a colossus 0-3 home defeat they inflicted upon my side. I've handed them a couple of harsh beatings, 5-0 away being an incredible result, yet in the overall head-to-head record they stand tall.

I used to have great battles with Bordeaux in the champions league, they had a great team at the time and mine was still a work in progress. I had them in the knockout phase two years in a row and they almost beat me the first time, I was down by 3 goals on aggregate and managed an amazing comeback with the winning goal a 15 yd lob. I looked forward to those games.

Now my team is almost settled in terms of what players I want and I generally out play any team I come up against.

Hull did the double over me in my first Master League season despite me beating Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool.

Any team in the relegation zone. It's like magic. I can usually spank all the CL quality teams and keep clean sheets fairly easily, but against a Livorno, Malaga, or Burnley, it takes a tremendous effort to score just one and/or keep them off the board.

I wouldn't doubt it at all, as it happens most when you have a streak going or really need to win for whatever reason. Like, if you're going for the Perfect Season trophy, and you have RKC Waalwijk (who are invariably 18th, which in the Eredivisie is dead last) on the the final day, they will be like so many Dutch-speaking Terminators.

Only played United the once, yet I remember it well. Champions League Final, I had to be the red hot favourite considering I was the holder and a successful defence seemed inevitable. Nope. They walked away 2-1 winners, despite having a damn sight weaker side than their default squad.

Spurs are often crafty against me, seeming too always pull out a score draw. Fiorentina also a pain but as I said up top, Villarreal are kings. My last season I walked to the league title after a 2 year drought. I had 2 defeats from the entire league campaign, guess who they were against?

I love to play Real Madrid . Thats the best Team in my ML because they got Players like Ronaldo ( 97 ) , Gourcuff ( 98 ) , King Osanga ( 94 ) , Pato ( 97 ) or Benzema (95 ) . Its a great Fun to play against so a team with a smaller team .

Definatly Fiorentina, hate the GK Sebastien Frey, whenever i play against them he is unstoppable, nothing passes him, i try to score freekicks, corners, whip crosses in and even trying to pass it in the net and yet he still manages to save them all.

Blackburn , they picked up 2 points from me

Real Madrid is the toughest to beat

Real Madrid is very very tough, i mean with all the key players remain in the team(c. Ronaldo, kaka, benzema, pepe) and those players conditions are red hot, it is nearly impossible to beat Real Madrid in anybody's first encouter with him(top player level), i reckon.

liverpool is also solid as well as sparta moscow, Chelsea, man city, valencia FC.
