Cos if anyone's in a thriller this week - I'd like 2 add the game 2 my HT-Live, get myself a VIP ticket, grab a a beer & a pie, kick back & watch the action!! :alcho: 8)

I'm coming second in V.96 and i'm two points behind the leader and i play them this weekend in a title decider at my stadium - it should be interesting i think as i'm their bogey team :badgrin: :alcho:

Right! Nice one - save me a corprate box!...Party of 24...And there better be enuff cheerleaders 2 go around - i don't wanna share!!!

:twisted:

Good luck Aussie Knight, if I'm online at the time I'll definitely be putting that game in my HT-Live.

Personally, I've locked myself into 3rd spot. Technically I could move to 2nd, but it would take the upset of the season for the team currently there to lose against 6th, and it would have to be a big loss for me to catch up on +/-. I'm up against 4th this week, in a game that if he loses will mean that he probably has to play a qualifier to stay in the division. It's somewhat of a grudge-match, as I beat him twice last season to unexpectedly (for him anyway :lol: ) pip him to 3rd. And this season he MOTS'd the round 1 match and beat me, which has turned out to cost me a probable 2nd finish.

Round 11 Fixtures
Strikeforce v Havoc
Drexciya v Machine
Avalon v Wolves
Holc v Bulldogs
CKA v Madtown
Crew v Falcons
Harriers v Cougars

A huge match this week, with Drexciya and Machine playing off for top spot. Machine then play Bulldogs and my Wolves in the final two weeks (both away), so it's a very tough period for them if they want to stay #1. Holc vs Bulldogs won't be too shabby either.

 

[Aussie_Knight]

Cheers guys it should be a cracker of a game both sides are playing MOTS - even though i haven't got a chance of beating a side from IV in a qualifier i'm still going for the V.96 title :twisted:

CKA v Madtown - Poida shouldn't have any problems beating my reserve side ;-)

 

[Poida_Raider]

haha yeah right! :lol: i wish that were the case though!

it may be a good match, but it is the offseason, so i might tinker with my lineup!

I wasn't joking even though most of the reserve players could play in my first team - they just don't perform well :-k

Madtown should win 8)

You're a champion amigo....that did the trick!

It's a sad day for my Wolves. My star player, Tuaivi Chaudhury is going to be transfer listed in a few hours (once it hits peak time for the europeans). He was one of my original team way back when I first joined over 4 seasons ago, and has been my MOM in just about every match for the past 2 seasons. But he will turn 23 in a few weeks, and I've calculated that he will only level up two more times in the remaining two seasons I'm going to train defending. So, sadly, he is being sold to make room for a gun 17yo trainee in the first week of next season.

Tuaivi Chaudhury (7809143)
22 years, excellent form, healthy
A sympathetic guy who is temperamental and honest.
Has weak experience and weak leadership abilities.

Nationality: Oceania
Assessed value: 2 252 000 AU$
Wage: 8 420 AU$/week
Owner: Rockhampton Wolves
Warnings: 2

Stamina: excellent Goaltending: wretched
Playmaking: poor Passing: inadequate
Winger: solid Defending: outstanding
Scoring: inadequate Set Pieces: weak

Listed for $3.5m

I think I'm going to be just about crying when I list him. For obvious reasons I have become very attached to him.

 

[Mambo]

What training are you moving to after defending?

 

[Mad Dogg]

Playmaking. The midfield is supposedly going to be becoming less important in the future, but I think it'll always remain the most important aspect of the game.

The money I make from my defenders (I'll be disappointed with anything less than $34m for the six I'm going to sell) should be able to buy some very nice trainees when I chnge over.

 

[Poida_Raider]

all the best with that mad dogg!! i really desperately need some money to buy some good midfielders, i am -500,000 or so.
i need to build a bigger stadium aswell.

far out i dont even have anyone that'd fetch good money. well one player, that is my best, and i dont think i could ever sell!

 

[Mambo]

Training up players is a slow and tedious process but when you sell 6 guys in one blow, your going to be seeing the benefits of seasons of waiting very quickly!

I'd think the Rockhampton Wolves will score a promotion or two out of this.

Just goes to show what patience can do in these sort of sims.

I'm training scoring and just this week one of my forwards crashed through the 'brilliant' barrier for the first time.

I expect him to be 'titanic' in two hattrick seasons. By that time we are talking national team selection!!!!!! Barring injury, he'll be 'mythical' in 3 seasons. He'll only be 23 years old.

I may sell sooner than that, I may not. Haven't decided yet. I've grown attached to him. But I may need to feed through more than 5 trainees like I am now, and that means playmaking training....10 trainees at a time!

Anyway....keep an eye out...Moises Rogers....future Oceanian star!

 

[Poida_Raider]

haha, i finished 2nd in my league!!
i won 6-1 against the 2nd last team, and the team that was 2nd before this round, lost 4-0 to the last placed team. i dont know what the hell he did, but it must have been stupid, it gave him a disastrous midfield. and all i can say to him is YOU IDIOT!! haha, but yeah. 2nd is a much better indicatorof my team!

 

[Mad Dogg]

lol, congrats Poida. But commiserations to Aussie Knight with his loss, but with that team promoting you should have a good chance for next season. Actually, just noticed that he has to play a qualifier to promote, and the team he has to play is quite impressive. You may not get rid of him after all, and even if you do then you have to contend with the replacement.

Unfortunately I lost my match (he MOTS'd which would've left him in the sh*t if he lost and had to play a qualifier). It's quite funny, last season he was expected to be the better side and I beat him both games, then this season I was the better side and he beat my twice.

I'd think the Rockhampton Wolves will score a promotion or two out of this.

I bloody well hope so. :lol: Probably not instantly because I will pour all that money into trainees rather than players who will benefit me straight away. But seeing as two or three of them should be national prospects (I'm hoping for one almost certain future national), I should blaze through Div V in the 2nd season and then be competitive in IV.
