7:th Round

Ok it's been quiet here for some time, the main reason is lack of time.
But for Round 7 is a story, here it is.

The round featured Ferencvaros (human) vs FC Porto (computer).
This time it was the teams from the Swos 96/97 data, no updates. In my opinion I think it's good to use that data, the updates can be used in cup.

Porto has (if you ask me) the best team of all in Swos ! I think they have
a perfect mix of players, skills and prices. The substitute players are also
very good. All the forwards are fast and has good shooting-skills.
Too bad that was the team to play against ;-)
The team to play with Ferencvaros are also a pretty good team.
If you play with them in Hungarian league they are winning everything.

I choosed to line up the team as 4-4-2 (rather uncommon for me).
In fact I only replaced one midfielder and used 3 forwards instead of two. One forward I used as offesive midfielder.
The result of the match was 6-1, (I also had a 5-0 but...).
Maybe it'll be enough to beat Kroko, but I'm not sure.
After all he came from div 1 and I came from div 4 :-)



4:rd - 6:th Round

No stories for round 4-6 due to lack of time :-/

Third Round

Round number 3 has been played !
Two english teams this time, they were updated... but rather strage.
Bolton (computer) and Preston (player). Both teams had very high
skills and stars. I think the reason for chosing these teams were
becouse they have lots of finnish and icelandic players !?
Anyway Bolton lined up a rather cower-tactic with 5-3-2.
Preston (me) lined up a 3-5-2 with fast striker Gunnlaugsson as
the one to make goals.
The match became a fight between Gunnlaugsson and the Bolton-keeper
(Jaaskelainen). He made some marvelous saves and was without a doubt
man of the match.
I made two quick goals but then came a terrible sending off by the ref.
Without any reason at all he showed my player a red card after just
22 minutes... Maybe it was a freekick but no more. I decided to keep
playing the match and I manage to score three more goals with just 10 men.
"Attack is best defence"
So I got 5-0, my oponent Lowrence made a 6-0 he has told at Swos Witnesses.
This means I have now lost 2 games and won 1 game. Division 2 is harder than
Division 4 (the div I was in last season). But it's just like it should be !
I believe I have met three good players and hopefully I will have some less
good players to face later (no names :-) ).
An epiolog will be a irritating thing that happen a day after "deadline".
I was about to watch some hil-files and then I though... Just play it one
time and see what score I get now when it doesn't matter.
It started off very good with goals three goals in first half. When I scored
4-0 in beginning of second half I was thinking, shall I play on and maybe get
6-0 or 7-0 ? No I didn't, I pressed ESC and turned the computer off !
I mean why risk to get a higher score when I can't use it ?

New story in a week !

Second Round

Slol has been cancel for some weeks due to boring stuff !
Reason number 1 is that several players have dropped out
of Slol. Why noone knows maybe they had no time for Slol.
Reason number 2 is that it has been know, some people has
been cheating to get better scores. Becouse of all this mess
Lowrence has been forced to re-design the groups and take
in some new players.
In English this means that I have been "promoted" to Div 2.
That was the good news ! The bad news is that I have lost
one match (the first). Match 1 I was supposed to play against
Skyclad and I won that match 5-2, but now I played it against
Prish instead and lost 5-8.

Now to Second Round. The match was played beween;
Olympiakos (player) Vs. Manchester United (computer).
United played like a away-team with a defending-tactic.
Olympiakos was (just like United) updated to 00-01-squads.
But noone in Olympiakos was very high-rated. Giovanni and
Pär Zetterberg was the best players.
I played a 3-5-2 - line-up with all players as they was from
the beginning except for Zetterberg that I put up as top-forward.
This was a "lucky-move" becouse he was brilliant and made two
fantastic goals and one "ordinary" goal. Giovanni made the other
two goals. The best reslut in whole Slol this round was 7-0 and I
had 5-0. I'm very proud of my reslut, in all my other tries I had only
2-0 or 3-1-results. My oponent this round was Plamen of Bulgaria.
He had a 4-0-result, this means I won a 5-4.
In next round I will face Lowrence, I hope to be able to get my old
keyboard back becouse I won't be able to make good reslut with my
new keyboard (to short time to get used to it).

More to come in next round.....

First Round

Slol is back !
And so are my stories. Here follows the first one, for Slol 3:rd season.
This season seems to be the biggest so far. 70 players has signed up.
I hope all will be playing and noone will drop out, becouse noone likes
"walk-over-matches".
As I've told before I was promoted to Div 3, in this division are;
MaRkO_ (Yug), Yossarain (Yug), SIX (Yug), MDG (Ita), W8 (Yug),
Spooky (Yug), Skyclad (Yug), Aston (Swe), CrisUK (Eng) & Prish (Eng).
I can't point out any favourites for the division-victory but I think Prish
will be a BIG danger for us, he really crushed all players in his division
last year and I think he will continue with it this season !
Unfortunally I will be the only player from Sweden this season as well as last.
But there will be a player from Finland (Kaj Lafond aka Tornado), but he will
be playing in Div 5. Maybe I'll face him in cup. We will see.
Now to the first match of Slol 3:rd season.

First match out was Troyes (player) against Leeds United (computer).
Troyes has just like Alaves (last team, last season) coming from nowhere to be
a top-team in their own league and in Europe.
But when Swos was released non of the teams (Alaves & Troyes)
were any good or famous. Leeds had a rather bad team as well, with
Anthony Yeboah as the big star.
Troyes has no star at all, all players are around 200 - 300 K.
Leeds has Lee Sharp, Yeboah and Nigel Martyn as big stars.
My tactic for this match was 4-3-3 but I changed tactic many times during the
match.
I must admit I felt a bit "slow" in the beginning and I didn't made any
good results (only 2-0) but after some matches I start gettin' better.
I manage to get a pretty good result after all, 5-1.
Ironic enough same result as in Slol 2:nd season, first match !
To see the table (and the highlights ?) move your butt to Slol.
I'm happy to see you reading this story, more will follow every week.

Round 9

Last round (9) is now played !
This round I think would have been better as a "cup-draw" but,
it was used for this (last) round. The two teams Alaves (player)
and Kaiserslauten (again) (computer) (again).
I think the reason why Alaves has reach so far in Uefa-cup is becouse
they have no "big stars", they have instead a team with good players
that work for each other and noone is "better" than anyone else.
Kaiserslauten I've al ready written about in round 5, but this time
I'll write about the Kaiserslauten today and not the team of 96/97.
Once again it looks like they aren't ready to face a team that they
think will be a easy match ! I can't imagine they will win after the
5-1 crash in Spain.

I made the best result in the last round (typical !) for the first time
in my slol-history I made a two-punts score 10 - 0 !
That should be enough to make the third place but I'm a bit worry about
the score from round 8, but a 4-0 should be enough in that round !
Don't you think ? (I spoke to Lowrence man in charge of Slol) and
he had "only" a 1-0 in round 8 (he had lack of time, but who hasn't ?).
Well this may have been the last story for "Slol 2:nd season" but
maybe it'll be another story if I have to play a play-off-match.
Otherwise I'd like to thank you all for reading my stories and I really
hope you have become interested and excited so you will join Slol
for the next season ! If you are intersted then simply send a mail and
tell it to the man in charge of Slol Lowrence at this mail;
webmaster@swos.co.yu
or you can also mail me and I'll help you become a member of Swos Witnesses
(you have to be a member to join slol). Then you mail me (Aston) on this mail;
webmaster@sweswos.cjb.net

Round 8

There has been a brake in the "Slol-league" for one week,
therefore I couldn't write a story last week. But now the
"Slol" is back and that means I'm back with another story !

This time around it was game between two teams out of Europe,
Urawa Rods (player) and Atletico Mineiro (computer).
Mineiro is among the 10 best team in Swos, and Urawa is average
team. Urawa has (like all Japanese teams) a team of japanese
and three (foreign) "stars". When J-league started every team
needed some "stars" (old europeans that didn't took a place in
any good european league). Urawa signed Michael Rummenigge,
Guido Buchwald and Uwe Bein. In my opinion they are not "stars"
just names to show for the fans. They where about to quit playing
football and then they heard of J-league and thought "why not go
there and makes some extra millions before quit !". Anyway I'll
tell how I lined up Urawa;
In goal Ota was given !, I played a 4-4-2 this time so the defence
was as follow; Cho as RB, Taguchi as LB, Hori and Motoyoshi as
central-defenders, Kikihura as RW, Buchwald as LW and central-
midfielders Sugiyama and Hosaka and forwards Bein and Rummenigge.

Noone in Urawa has very good finish and three of four forwards has
a 2 or 3 in every skill, not very impressive. The result could there-
fore not be so high :-) Well, in my first day of trying to get a high
score I made only a 2-0, in the second day I made a 3-0 and in my third
try I made a 4-0, unfortunally this was on Sunday so I had no more
day of tries, who knows maybe I had got a 29-0 in the end of the month :-)
I think 4-0 is enought to beat Nuggett becouse he is in "no mans land".
He can't be relegated and he can't be promoted. I still have chance to
be promoted but I almost blew it two rounds ago when I "only" got a draw
against CrisUk. Pupke manage to beat CrisUk and therefore I could pass
CrisUk but at the same time Pupke passed me :-( so now the table is like
this;
Enigma is first on 16 p (have a walk-over + Cheezy left),
Pupke is second on 16 p (have a walk-over + Nuggett left),
Me (Aston) is third on 15 p (have Nuggett and Dr Strop left),
CrisUk is on fourth place with 13 p (have Cheezy + Sorriso left),
I think all the fourth first (Enigma, Pupke, Aston and CrisUk)
will win their matches so I don't think there will be any changes
in the league. If I'm right that would mean, Enigma and Pupke will
be promoted to Div 3, I will play a "play-off-match" against
number 8 in Div 3 (now Spooky is on that spot), no matter what it
will be very exciting to follow !




"Top of the page"  

Round 7

The 7:th round featured two great european clubs, one from east and
one from west. Sparta Prague (player) Vs Ajax (computer).
Both this teams have rather f__ked up skills on the players.
I don't say this is wrong becouse I can agree that some of the
skills are correct, but some of them sure aren't.
Anyway, Sparta has a rather unknown keeper, but he is ok.
The defence is... sort of strange. Becouse the RB (HTP) and LB (HTF)
has skills, that most central-defenders have and the
central-defenders have, skills (SHC & HST) of a BR or LB.
The midfield is more like other teams with RW (SCP) and LW (CST).
Central-midfielders has TPC and PTC. The forwards has strange skills.
Lokvenc has PTS, but Objadin has FHS so he is good.
A funny (or not so funny) thing is that in Sparta are; Jan Koller and
Vaclav Budka and those players has HTF (Koller) and PTC (Budka).
Then if you go to Belgium league and check Lokeren then you find
the same players but with totaly diffrent skills (Koller FHV & Budka FSV).
This is one thing that I'm really irritated on in Swos, that the same
players appears more than one time and often with totaly diffrent skills
and values. Also when a player has diffrent skills and value in club-team
and national-team for eg; Dwight Yorke and George Weah has really low
values in national team but in Clubteams they have really high values.
This had nothing to do with Slol but I just felt like saying it :-)

Now to the match !
I choosed to play a 4-3-3 this time. I let Caloun stay in goal.
The defence I mix as follow; RB I put V. Svoboda becouse he's is fast.
LB is Mistr I didn't change that. Central-defenders I put Hornak and Repka.
Lokvenc I choosed to have as right-wing, he has good passing skill.
Vonasek to the left on the midfield no use in changing that.
Z. Svoboda as the only central midfielder and he made a good job
there. A three-man-attack-force in Novotny, Frydek and Obajdin.
Novotny is fast and good on the head, Frydek is a good passing-
player and has an ok shot. Obajdin is good on finish and on the
head as well.
The goals was made by Lokvenc (1), Novotny (2) and Ojbadin (2).
That makes a 5-0 becouse Ajax had no chance to make any goals :-)
Kluivert was almost close but shoot wide !

In Slol div 4 (the division I'm in) is CrisUk still in top.
He won against Enigma in round 5 (he had 11-1 and Enigma had 9-0,
same as me). I'm now in second place right behind CrisUk.
CrisUk have 12 p and I have 11 p, Enigma, Pupke and Dr Strop have
10 p. I had a "walk-over" in round 5 (against Arkan).
Round 6 I played CrisUk but the Slol-site haven't update the table
for last round so I don't know what score CrisUk had, I had a 5-0.
(See round 6, right under this round).



"Top of the page"  

Round 6

The two teams for round 6 was Deportivo La Coruna vs AC Milan.
Deportivo is the 3:rd or 4:th best team in Spain and Milan is
the best or second best in Italy.
Milan has a bit better keeper, Milan has a much better defence,
the midfield is rather the same, when it comes to forwards Milan
is a bit better but Deportivo has Bebeto.

I lined up Deportivo as follow; keeper and defence I didn't touch.
Except for replacing Djukic with Voro. In midfield I put Beguiristain
as RW (instead of Donato), Silva stayed central, Fran to the left.
Three forwards in Bebeto, Manjarin and Radchenko.
So this time I didn't change too much.
I must say Rossi in the Milan-goal made one of his better games.
I could have scored three or four more goals if he hadn't been so good.
He made some excellent saves and the posts also help him a bit.

I had not much time to play this round, me and some friends played some
Fifa 2001 (I know I was unfaithful but.... you can't say a game sucks
without even try it) and there were a lot sport on TV etc etc.
Anyway I made a 6-0 result (Bebeto 2, Beguiristain, Manjarin (on pen),
Radchenko 2).
I still don't know if I have advance any places becouse Lowrence (the man
in charge of Slol) has been ill and haven't been able to add the latest
results or updated the table.
But hopefully he will do it this week and then you (and me) see if I have
advanced or if I still in 4:th position.
I hope to end first or second becouse then I will be in div 3 next season.

That was all for this round but if you have missed a round

read and read it, also check my highlights !

Round 5

Round 5 contained a "bundesliga-meeting".
Armina Bielefeld (player) against Kaiserslauten (computer).
Armina has a pretty ordinary team with one "mega-star" (at leased in swos-eyes).
The "mega-star" is former Kaiserslauten player Stefan Kuntz.
The rest of Armina isn't much to cheer for :-). Two dutch players; Rob Maas and
Sonny Silooy. Then of cause they have Thomas Von Heesen,
a really golden oldies. The rest of the players are in the 450 k-class.
Kaiserslauten have had problems the last years if you ask me !
They have tryed to sign good players but as a team they haven't worked
very good. Maybe a change is about to take place now (see UEFA-cup-results)
But when Swos was made they had a rather bad team.
This is how I lined up Armina;
In goal I put Miletic, because I think he is a little bit better than the
ordinary keeper Uli Stein (he's getting old and slow).
In defence I had Silooy as RB, Hobday was LB and as libro Stratos.
I had planes to play a 4-4-2 with Stratos and Molata as central-defenders,
but that would have been to coward. So my line-up became 3-4-3.
In midfield I put Bode (RW), Von Heesen (M) as defencive midfielder,
Maas (M), as balance-player and Eck stayed LW.
I had three forwards in Silvio Meissner, Fritz Walter and Stefan Kuntz.
Meissner really sux in Swos but I let him in anyway :-) Fritz Walter also
sux but he is 75 % better in Swos than he was in Armina in reality.
Once again much about the team, but that's fun too, isn't it ?
Now to the match, well this match was a one-man-show !
Stefan Kuntz scored eight (8) times and assisted on one goal.
Fritz Walter scored the goal Kuntz didn't made.
Well 9-0 is my best result so far, so I'm pleased with it.
A funny thing is that the best goal was the one made by Walter,
really "superb pass there" from Kuntz that is totaly fooling the whole
Kaiserlauten defence include Reinke in goal !
So Walter had just to put in the back of the net.
Check for yourself, it's easy to see what goal it is, because Walter is blond.



"Top of the page"  

Round 4

Yeah, a new story is here ! Bröndby vs Bastia.

But first some words about the competion itself.
Well so far I have 1 win and 2 draw and 0 losts.
In first round I made (as you remember) a 5-1, that round,
I played against Pupke and he had a 4-0, so the result
where 0-0 = draw.
Second round I played Sorriso and I had 8-0 and he got a
3-1, so final result was 6-0.
Third round I made a 3-0 same result as the favorite to
win division 4, Enigma. So that's another draw !
The leader of div 4 is Dr Strop but to be honest he have
had some luck with two "walk-overs". Cheezy is second
I play him in this round (round 4).
Enigma is third, I doubt anyone else will take any points
from him.
CrisUK is in 4:th place but he has also had a "walk-over".
I think I'll move up when Enigma, Pupke and Cheezy will play
each other and when Dr Strop have anyone to face :-)

Now to match Bröndby Vs Bastia !
Two teams that are not so good, so I think this would
have been a rather equal fight in reality. But SWOS
isn't reality. In SWOS Bastia is the better of
those two teams but not so very much better.
Bröndby have an ok keeper Mogens Krogh, he is good.
Defenders are also good; Colding, Eggen, Nielsen and
Skarabelius. The midfield isn't so good; Daugaard,
Vilfort, Jensen and Ravn. The strikers are rather bad
Sand was new at the time SWOS was released therefore he
is only worth 450 k (I think it's 450 k) the other striker
Möller is a typical center-bulldozer, good target-player,
very good in the air, and good on take the ball and play
it to another player. He can be compaired with for eg;
Kennet Andersson, Duncan Ferguson, John Hartson or
Naill Quinn. Anyway, I mixed the team very much so this
is how I did. I played a 4-3-3 - line-up.
Krogh in goal, Colding as RB, Olsen and Eggen in defence,
Nielsen as LB. Skarabelius as RW, Bagger (he is forward but
has skills as a midfielder PTH) as central-midfielder
Vilfort as LW. Sand as defensive forward, Ravn and Jensen
on top (both have speed as top-skill).
It may sounds strange to have one midfielder and one LW as
top-forwards but Möller is as movable as a fridge !
Even a goal-keeper could run as fast (slow) as him.
Therefore he was put on the bench.
Heh, much talk about the team this time. The result became
ok this time, better than last anyway !
I made several 5-0 results so I just have to choose the one
with best goals and send that one in. Jensen made most goals
and he was good on fallin' in the penalty-area as well
and Sand made no mistakes at the penalty-spot !



"Top of the page"  

Round 3

This time it was a really hard round !
Hajduk Split - Barcelona, Hajduk have not a very good team.
Oke they have some national players (for Croatia) and two African players.
But those sucks. Renato Jurcic is the best player in Hajduk but his skills,
are FHT (finish, head, tackling) and his shoot and speed don't excist.
I didn't preform well this time, I can't say anything about it !
It's just a fact !
I wish I had something to blaim it on, but I don't.
One thing I can "blaim" it on, is that I play with my keyboard and
no joystick or gamepad, but that's no reason why I didn't made a
better match. So now to the result, I got only a 3-0 but I'm not sure
if it will be accepted. Because I forgot to save the "highlight-file".
I haven't cheated because I don't like to cheat and even if I
had thought of it I think it's impossible to do it !
Anyway I made a 2-0 result as well and this time I remembered to
save my "hightlight-file".
I hope my 3-0 will be accepted but I think I'll lose this round anyway.
I hope I will do a better result next round until.... take care people !

Next round there will be a new story that you can read !
Until then have fun and enjoy the site and watch my highlights from
this round (the highlights can be found on Downloadpage).

Round 2

Yesterday (2001-02-15) I downloaded the file for second round of SLOL,
but I had no time to play it because I was busy.
Anyway I played it today instead and now I'm really happy I did it because
I got a great result in my first try !
The teams this time was Liverpool (player/me) vs Juventus (computer).
Both teams are really good in Swos. I played with Fowler and Collymore on top,
Barnes and Redknapp in the middle, Berger to the left and Mcmanaman stayed to the right.
In defence I had Babb moved out to the left because he has rather good speed
and I needed him there. Rightback Mcateer stayed, "Razor" Ruddock and Wright as defenders.
So that was the team, now to the match :)
I started excellent with a Fowler-goal after just 4 min and then I got another
Fowler-goal just some minutes later (Peruzzi must have woke up on the wrong side of the bed !). Then I had a good chance when Collymore was kick-down
in the penalty-area, but stupid as I was I let "Stan-The-Man" take the
penalty himself, as you might have got al ready he missed it ! Or to be honest
Peruzzi made a superb stop ! But no crying, Fowler was in a very very good mode and he kept score and score and score.... :)
In half-time the score was 7-0 to Liverpool against Juventus (see picture).
In secondhalf Juventus got themself together and Peruzzi made some excellent
saves. Vieri also had some good chances but James was good today and
kept the goal free from goals !
I only made one goal in second half, but I really happy with the result 8-0 !
(oh I think I should say that I got one more penalty but this time Fowler,
took it and shoot the ball like a bazooka in the goal !).

Liverpool - Juventus 7-0 Halftime

Next round there will be a new story that you can read !
Until then have fun and enjoy the site and watch my highlights from
this round (the highlights can be found on Downloadpage).

Round 1

SLOL 2001 is organized by "Swos Witnesses" and I was invitet
to take part of this tournament by the webmaster of "Swos Witnesses".
I accepted the invitation and send a mail confirming it.
But I didn't pay too much attenction to the starting-date of the
tournament.
Anyway I got the starting-date in time so now I'm about to play
the first round of the tournament, suitable the tournament start
with Sweden vs France.
I have a 5-1 result that I think is a pretty good result to start
with. I'm only in Group 4 (out of 5) because I didn't took part
of the first Slol.
The french team have a good keeper (the best in Swos) and if he
should happen to miss a ball, there are always 2 defenders standing
on the goal-line ready to head the ball away.
Fortunally thier forwards sucks. Djorkaeff plays forward and he isn't
enjoying it (he wants Zidane's place as free midfielder).
Henry is better in reality than in SWOS. The midfilders are hard
to get past, because they have T as best skills and this
means they can kick down my players without get a freekick against
themselves, also they are pretty fast (faster than my players anyway)

Next round there will be a new story that you can read !
Until then have fun and enjoy the site and watch my highlights from
this round (the highlights can be found on The Downloadpage).
