The LU Hattrick Team Owners Thread

[Poida_Raider]

hey wtf happened to vesh and all his posts? wierd.

and i'm realising that ernesto likes to leave his opponents hanging when it comes to accepting challenges. but i see that he does eventually so its ok.

 

[Mad Dogg]

Vesh got suspended for spamming his site (I think?), and all his posts were deleted. :?

Ernesto normally only logs in on Tuesday, so it does get a bit nail-biting at times. There are actually three games that haven't been organised yet - Central Coast vs Sri Lanka, Avalon vs CKA and Madtown vs Ernesto. If you've challenged your opponent and he doesn't accept in the next hour or two, feel free to try to organise another friendly and let me know so I can give you a 5-0 walkover.

 

[Poida_Raider]

thats shit, ernesto hasnt accepted yet, and i really wanted to play for the lu cup. i spose i'll take the walk over.

not to find an opponent post haste.. (right word??)
anwyays.

 

[MrCharisma]

I issued a challange to Sri Lanka last night and I haven't checked HT yet to see if anything has changed.

 

[Poida_Raider]

actually i might go ahead and challenge all those people who havent got friendlies yet.. yeah that's what i'll do, there might be some sort of chance with that.

 

[Poida_Raider]

obviously i was talkin about the other teams in the lu cup

not happy about that, why dont we go out on a limb and kick out avalon and ernesto right now, save ourselves the trouble.. not happy with that

what are the chances that a team who doesnt have a friendly, a team anywhere in the world, are going to accept my challenge, if they havent got a friendly already. this is bullshit, i'm sorry but i'm a bit annoyed. i'll get over it i spose, its only a game. but a very good game at that!

 

[Poida_Raider]

my challenge is still out there to ernesto, i spose he can still accept it, anytime he wants. i challenged avalon too, just incase. and about 30 other teams.

fingers crossed.

 

[MrCharisma]

Sri accepted mine btw

 

[Poida_Raider]

thats crap. friendlies are starting.. without me being a part of them.

i spose i might train set pieces or stamina,
stamina would probably affect most players form, set pieces might be the go. but some of my younger players need better stamina, and i would wait until the offseason, but now this has happened.

ok well i'll think about it.

 

[Dog-E]

That stinks mate!...Been caught out like that myself b4 - u try & do the right thing...and just end up getting screwed!

How's your game next week - easy or hard?...Stamina would defo be more useful than SP for your young middies in particular...but as u have noted - u culd take a nasty form hit to neuter that!

 

[Mad Dogg]

Unlucky Poida. One week of stamina training shouldn't hurt form too much, but if you've got a big match coming up in the next few weeks then it might be better to wait until the offseason for stamina.

I've sent both Avalon and Ernesto HT-Mail's asking them what happened. It looks like neither logged into Hattrick at all over the last week.

In my game against Heathcote (the battle between the top two teams), Heathcote took a 2-1 lead early in the 2nd half, but my Wolves ran them down and took the match 3-2. Quite luckily really, I won the midfield but Chile had a slight advantage everywhere else. So I'm now sitting pretty on the top of the ladder as the only team with maximum points after four rounds. Heathcote, Sri Lanka, Drexciya and Piran Suns follow close behind. The full table will be updated in the other thread tomorrow.

 

[Poida_Raider]

my game this sunday is easy well i won 11 zip at home last time, the one after that is against the top team in the comp. i think the stamina would be worth it, i've noticed it bringing players in crap form into good form before.

i'm sure it'll be ok for one week in the middle of the season. yeah i'll do that.

 

[nibbs]

dam. in every game so far in the lu cup, i've been down at least 2-0. annoying...

i'm pushing for a top 3 finish now. i'm playing the team running 7th. they won't be a push over but at the same time, i should be able to get home.

 

[Poida_Raider]

the stamina training i did today didnt affect any of my top team players, and it gave the younger guys some better stamina which is what i was after anyways!

so its all good, hopefully i will kick arse this weekend, and get a mammoth home crowd next weekend. after i train playmaking, as the wizard and i have arranged our friendly!! no worries at all.

 

[nibbs]

cool man. all my trainee's have excellent playmaking now. not long till a few of them hit formidable

 

[Poida_Raider]

now that my squad is full, with all the shit players gone, and players good enough for what i need. its time for me to save up and get a new coach, no wonder my training takes so long, i've still got my originaly trainer! the only time i'll be dipping in for more transfers will hopefully be the start of next season. i'll actually get some prie money this year aswell!!

 

[MrCharisma]

Question *since I can't be arsed finding the help thread*

I just got a message from my very hot secetary saying that this weeks training was wasted by conflict. Anyone know how to help me with this.

Nothing in my side has really changed since last week although since I MotS a few weeks back, my spirit and confedence has been shot to pieces. Stupid draw wasn't worth it!

 

[MrCharisma]

Another question;

Should I keep my current Youth Pull *I train defenders*

[nibbs]

i dunno man.

dam, i really want to add an negro to my team, but they seem to be few and far between. annoying i tell ya. i've decided my team needs more oceanians, so i'm going to start selling some players and replacing them with locals. to be honest i really wish i could fill my team with players from my youth squad, but it just ain't happening for me at the moment. frustrating

 

[Deano]

Woohoo I just pulled a 19 yo Solid keeper from my youth squad

The plan is I'll sell him now and pick up an older Excellent keeper. This is great news as I've been using an Inadequate keeper so far
