The LU Hattrick Team Owners Thread

Had a 1-1 draw today, my first ever in a league match. Dam, it was against a team I fought I could get the better of. Oh well, better luck next week.

 

[Dogs Of War]

Nah, I wouldn't train him. Do transfer compare to see if he's even worth selling...

 

[crook]

I lost 2-4 today against the team coming 6th in my league... I am currently 2nd.

My team is Crook Athletic by the way. I play in IV.16, also known as 'the worst division IV in Hattrick!' :lol:

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.

You played a 6-2-2 formation in your league game that week, which isn't a legal formation. Basically, you can't play more than three players in a position - central defender (which is what you did with four players there), inner mid or forward.

Definitely sell the youth pull if you're not training him. You won't get much for him, but it should set you on your way to be able to buy a better, older (read more experienced) player.

I've got two players on the transfer list at the moment. The first is a supernatural defender so I doubt anybody here can afford him (unless Dog-E is on the hunt for a new defender), but the second could be an interesting player for some of you.

Turner has a lot of sentimental meaning for my club, he was my first ever purchase just two days after I started playing hattrick over two years ago now (the only purchase I made in the first 4 months or so). For many seasons he was the rock which my midfield was built upon (he's capable of getting 4 stars when he's in high solid form), but over the last couple of seasons he's been slipping down the pecking order in my midfield. I really don't want to sell him, but I'm desperately trying to get the money together to buy the supernatural playmaker with passable passing that I know will be hitting the transfer list in the next couple of weeks.

Welcome to the nut-house Crook. ;-)

I won 4-0 today to keep the five point lead at the top of the ladder in V.88. A good game for me - my magnificent forward is finally starting to get back into form and has hit the top of the scorers list for the first time this season; the supernatural midfielder is up to inadequate form and will hopefully go to passable next week so I can really see what he can do; and Pedro (my U20 player) is in excellent form and today got 6.5 stars as a central defender, equal my highest ever rating (a record he shares with the supernatural defender I'm selling).

I have a fairly easy game next week (although he was the only one to take points off me in the first half of the season), and then come the big two weeks where I play 2nd and 3rd. I'm confident that I'll win the league whatever happens, but the results of these matches will determine whether I auto-promote or if I need to play a qualifier. Although I would like the extra-training and money that the qualifier does bring, I don't want to risk not promoting this season.

 

[Poida_Raider]

i won 8-2 away from home today. a good match, brings my results this season agaisnt that team to 19-2. but his very first game was or first game.

anyway, my team is coming along nicely, the team as a whole, well the league team anyway. is getting in the 30 stars. obviously stars mean little when compared to ratings. but i never got that with my old team, and i had it a season longer.

so yeah, all is going well over at madtown park!

 

[nibbs]

interesting...


so dudes, earlier tonight i signed me up a black man. he has dreadlocks and looks really cool. he is a solid defender which i think is aiiit. he'll replace the solid defender that i have up for sale at the moment. i also have a solid foward up for the sale so i suggest you guys run along and check that out. both are at real good realistic prices.

i'm going to try and sign more locals to my team now. i really want to replace the solid striker i'm selling with another solid striker, but preferably, a black oceanian. at least an oceanian. i'm resigned to the fact that i can't win my league this season, so i don't mind playing out the season with only 3 fowards. this search may take many weeks, but by god i know that this player is out there. and i will find. it'd so cool having someone like that on my team. also no offence intended, call it ethnic cleansing if you like, but i'm looking to get rid of all the ginger haired players in my team, except the ginger hair scottish player. i feel every team needs one, so he can stay. the others though...can leave

 

[thewizard1o1]

Had a 3-0 win using PiC away from home, which leaves me still unbeaten and unscored against in VI. Also great news is that Mr Krey just increased his playmaking to Outstanding and backed it up with a 4 star game on the weekend. Things are going well in firebug-ville.

 

[thewizard1o1]

Oh and my youth pull from this weekend is up for sale...

Are there any other Hattrick players on here from Newcastle??

There are a bunch of Newcastle United Jets supporters who are having a cup to see who is the best Hattrick team in Newcastle.

If you are interested, click here and post the name of your team in the Hattrick Thread.

 

[chileman]

Welcome crook!

Ignore what I just posted, I'm playing the Spinchuckers.....not CKA :lol:

 

[crook]

Is the team 'Keep it Real' from this forum??

 

[Mad Dogg]

Not that I know of.

 

[RHCP*Auricom]

I dont think so crook...btw Mad Dogg, it appears the Avaloon avengers don't exsist any more, or is that just me...if thats the case then what do I do for a friendly...I most definetly can't afford another repeat of last week... :evil:

 

[RHCP*Auricom]

lol..nvm that lats post

 

[Poida_Raider]

i lost 3-2 at home to a sell out crowd today.
i think i am realistically the second best team in the comp. i will come second if i beat the current second placed team and my other matches, and he loses again to the leaders in the last round. the only real difference to me is the prizemoney, however little.

 

[nibbs]

i won 3-1. should finish up 3rd now. yeh

 

[Mad Dogg]

I won 5-1 with a much better crowd than what I expected against the second bottom team. I now have two big matches in the next two weeks. First is my game against second spot, if I win I all but guarentee that I finish first (I would be 8 points ahead with three games to go). Then I have third place the following week, if I happen to lose against 2nd I need to win this one else 2nd place will probably move ahead of me.

 

[chileman]

You're all a bunch of showoffs :mrgreen:

 

[thewizard1o1]

I won 3-1 in front of 20,000 screaming, cheering and match-bearing firebugs. West Dubbo looked like they would need to invist in a new stadium half way through the first half till 3 dead ball goals righted the ship. With 4 games to go i'm 8 points ahead of second in my league and 3 points infornt of the automatic promotion cut off.
