The LU Hattrick Team Owners Thread

What round are we up to in the LU cup so I know who I'm challenging???

 

[Mad Dogg]

Round 8. The Cup Manager site says that the round was supposed to start on the 13th of October, but obviously the national cups got in the way.

Round 8
Madtown Vikings - : - Ernesto's Strikeforce
AFC Real Drexciya - : - West Coast Cougars
Heathcote Harriers - : - Sri Lanka Chuckerspinmen
Whenuapai United - : - Whataloada Bulldogs FC
Hills Havoc - : - Central Coast Falcons
CKA - : - Rockhampton Wolves
Avalon_Avengers - : - Arsenal A.C.

Obviously Madtown is no more ( ), so a spot is open for you BaMb00zled if you want it. You'll be playing Ernesto's next week.

Also, if you have any questions feel free to ask and I'm sure someone will be able to help you.

 

[MrCharisma]

I haven't heard anything from Hills Havoc... and I have a challange waiting from someone else so by 9pm if I haven't heard anything, I'm gunna accept this challange

 

[Deano]

I just landed in England with the boys for our match against Real Drexciya and christ its cold :|.

Got a new trainee that i might give a run too...haven't decided yet....

 

[thewizard1o1]

Games in England get played before ours

Down 2-1 with 10 to go....cmon Cougars 8)

 

[nibbs]

i'll set my match up for next week

 

[chileman]

I have a friendly also booked so will just start off next week with the LU cup!

 

[Mad Dogg]

Only the two games got played this week, Drexciya beating Cougars 2-1 and my Wolves beating CKA 3-0. Heh, CKA was the first team to feel the force of my new $8m trainee, and he scored the first two goals despite playing as a defender.

It's going to be very interesting to see what difference he makes to my 1st team.

I just signed up to play, how long before you get allocated at team or what happens when you start? Do you get drafted straight into a league? Hmm, so many questions, I just want to play!

Mate with so many 6th Div teams without managers I don't think it will take you long to get a team....you'll be issued a team, once you do we'll guide you through the basics but don't expect instant success.....build your team and finances up gradually!

 

[Dogs Of War]

Good Stuff. I had a mate join the comp as well, hopefully we can organise friendlys between ourselves at the start. Just reading the 35 page rules printout at the moment. Looks like a very good game. I hope my Championship Manager experience will hold me in good steed. I manage a tight ship.

ANy tips. I usually like investing in juniors, is this worthwhile in this game?

 

[Deacon]

My Team is:

Only being playin for a season for too im in div 5 most of my mates r in div 3 and 4

 

[chileman]

Welcome FH to the hattrick thread and Dogs of War....definately start investing in your youth cause it will take a couple of months before they are solid....pick up a good player here and there if the price is right but the future of your club definately lies in your youth!

 

[Mad Dogg]

ANy tips. I usually like investing in juniors, is this worthwhile in this game?

Absolutely. In fact, if I had to make some comment I would say that the power of the young trainees are almost too important. For a new player such as yourself getting a training system going is really the single most important part of the game. Pick up a good coach and some 17 or 18 year olds and train them for a season (16 weeks) and they'll become better than what you could otherwise have afforded to buy. And of course, train them for longer and they'll continue to become better.

haha, I'm the only side in my division with a manager. It's awesome, cause my team is getting better, while the others are all going no where. I can't see us losing any games this season...

Just in case some of you didn't know, the cost for upgrading your arena is going to double next season, and go up even further the season after that. So if you're planning on expanding your arena soon, make sure you do it this season.

For the new teams, I would strongly reccomend expanding your arena to about 15k. It's very hard to make a profit with the 7k stadium you start with.
