You hope Nibbs...

 

[chileman]

Ernesto Strike force asked me if he can play at my home ground as he thinks I will get a better crowd than him and more revenue for both of us, is that ok???

 

[Mad Dogg]

Yep, if both teams agree you can change the venue around.

Looks like neither Nibbs' nor my own player did sell, which is disappointing as both had players of similar skills go for more. Mine's re-listed at $5.5m.

Nibbs, I'm guessing you're a playmaker trainer? If so, your wingers get 50% of training also (will go up roughly one level every season), so you could use that money to get a fourth winger trainee. I'm not completely sure on prices, but you might be able to get a 17 or 18yo solid winger with inadequate playmaking.

The other option (especially if you re-list that player and get some good money) is to save up a little and get a solid coach. Your current inadequate coach will mean your players will take 2 extra weeks to go up every level compared to a solid. A solid coach with poor leadership (coaching skill is much more important than leadership, especially to new teams - my own has dropped to weak leadership) will cost about $500 000. Then he'll do you for a couple of seasons until you get the money together to get a solid coach with some leadership.

hmmm, it's tempting. however, he is the best of youthful midfielders. and tbh i'm not sure if i wanna let him go

 

[nibbs]

just to recap, i purchased a fourth winger just now for $14,000. Antonio Lorca, who is 17yo. Passable winger, inadequate playmaker. i've got high hopes for this kid

 

[nibbs]

well, after holding 73% possession in the first half, we trial 1-0. damit

ahh shit. i had one of my playmaking trainees in the central defencer spot on the lineup sheet, and didnt change him to inner midfield. which is really quite a pain in the arse, cause he's in the early leader in my favourite player books. cause of his name, and his potential.
thats quite annoying. i dont think he will train now anyways, someone can always correct me, because he did play in the inner midfield on sunday. just not today unfortunately.

 

[Dogs Of War]

As long as the play in the midfield either midweek or on sunday they will train. You should be maximising your training by playing different players in the midweek games and your league games in the midfield. (Can train then 6 inner mids with 100% and your 4 wingers 50%)

Yer just mail me on hattrick.

 

[RHCP*Auricom]

That was a great match Nibbs...i honestly cannot believe i ended up winning it after your 76% final possesion rate....anyhow, if it eases your mind a bit...you took out my Star Striker for 6 weeks.... :evil: ... , nah, good game.....what are the chances of beating the wolves next wednesday you think people....... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

 

[thewizard1o1]

HAHA Mr C you are so going down!

 

[Corbin]

my team is north harbour united

 

[Mad Dogg]

As long as the play in the midfield either midweek or on sunday they will train.

Hate to say it, but unfortunately not true. It's based on the last position they played in, so if a player plays both league and friendly match, the position they played in the friendly will determine whether or not they'll get training. So sorry Poida, but no training for that guy this week.

what are the chances of beating the wolves next wednesday you think people.......

The way the form of all my inner mids are going, probably pretty damn good. They were all in good form earlier in the season, but over the last two weeks most of them have quickly dropped (including my best two to weak form ).

Here's the table:
