Is your youth squad solid or excellent Mr C?

Mines only solid

Yeah same here. Are you selling that 17 yo solid keeper? You'd get abit for him I'd imagine.

I pulled another 17yo solid defender last night, but unfortunately he's only a very low solid so won't be going into the U20 team like Pedro did. I have decided to keep him though, so am selling one of my older trainees. Magnificent defender with passable winger, should get me a bit over $5m. Together with what's still left over from selling my world class defender a few weeks ago, plus the good crowds from my last two games, I should have over $10m in the bank.

I wonder how long I can make it before the desire to spend it all overtakes me? :lol:

I won my match 4-1 today, against one of the two teams who'll push me for the title. Fantastic ratings for me, I let him slightly win the midfield and then counter-attacked him into oblivion. Similar to what I did last week, but pulled it off even more convincingly.

damit vesh, but yeh i had a solid victory today. which really helps me in my battle to avoid the bottom 2. my next 6 games are the crucial ones. potentially i can win them all, although i doubt that will be the likely outcome. however if i can win 3 of them i'll be sorted for another season in division 5. i'm up to 5th and feeling good about my chances.

i must have spent close to half a million on my youth squad. the results better start coming soon damit.

Yah I've got a excellent keeper and an inad backup so I'll be selling him cause I train defenders, keepers are just alot easier to pull a good one I've found

Just bought a formiable defender who's 19 for 1.6mil and I've still got another 1.5mil to spend. Gotta find me a decent middie

 

[Dog-E]

keepers are just alot easier to pull a good one I've found

Bah!!!!!!!!...So impressed was I by your recent pull...I tried to pull a keeper myself on the weekend...Result = Passable Set Pieces and POOR Goalkeeping....And 20 years old to boot!

And my Y-Squad is Excellent - and has been for many seasons now!

Bah again!!!!!! :evil:

lol

[Dog-E]

Outstanding IM...Nice!...THAT will make a big difference to u!

Just keep an eye out for any negative effects on your Team Spirit in coming weeks, as he is a popular personality/disastrous leadership combo - not good!...Depending on how many other 'Popular' players u have....But if this guy overrides them - any advantages from PICing in future while he's around - will be all but shot to hell!!

Still - very nice mate, and he'll ensure you're pushing all the way for honours this season! 8)

 

[Deano]

I'm pretty sure it's the other way around, so if he had solid leadership and had a bad personality it would be a bad thing. He should be fine.

 

[thewizard1o1]

I hate you even more now MrC

 

[MrCharisma]

I haven't got any other popular guys... mostly sympathic, my lot are an angry bunch. I definately needed something in the midfield, my backline is nasty... I just need some improvements in the middle. When I sell this 17yr old, I might buy some new wingers

Glad to hear you hate me Hoy , thats revenge for getting that cheap and awesome striker... you stooge

 

[Dog-E]

I'm pretty sure it's the other way around, so if he had solid leadership and had a bad personality it would be a bad thing. He should be fine.

Nah - Any popular player will affect TS - If they have good leadership - the effect will be positive....if they have bad leadership the effect will be negative...

BUT - if you have 2 or more popular players..only ONE can be the...'dominant' one...or in other words - no matter how many Popular players you have - only ONE will affect your team spirit...and you have no way of knowing which one before you buy!...You just need to examine how your TS behaves after such a purchase, to see if the new popular player has 'taken' over' so to speak...which was what Iw as advising Mr. C to have a look out for!

Player leadership only affects the team on the field - they are less likely to make mistakes, or be affected by confusion due to unfamiliar tactics etc. Player leadership has no effect on TS whatsoever (However your COACH's leadership HEAVILY affects TS - Namely how fast your TS declines after a PIC etc)

That's why good players who are popular/wretched etc leadership - are ALWAYS a bit cheaper on the transfer market - suss it out 4 yourself sometime - you'll see!....Thats because ppl whi micro-manage their TS down to the Nth degree dont want to risk buying another popular player - one with bad leadership...just in case that one 'takes over' and damages their TS program!

 

[MrCharisma]

Wooooh.... I never realised how indept that is.

Does it only work with popular people because he is my first popular player I've ever had in my line-up.

Speaking of popular, what will that actually do for my squad? If I remember correctly he is inad leadership

 

[Poida_Raider]

so i'm looking for some new traineeds, with enough debt to squeeze them in.. just.
i hate it when you are close to a signed deal and it says "you do not have enough cash to make this offer" or something similar. but i need a couple more trainees and have relieved my debt to do so i reckon. obviously no super awesome trainees like some people here, but good for me.

 

[MrCharisma]

I know ur feeling P.R

I was going for a middle yesterday with formable playmaking and solid passing for cheap and this dude came out of no where and made a bid in the final minute.... then it told me I couldn't outbid

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Dog-E]

Mr. C - i dunno...having just quickly re-read what i hastily posted above...I think Deano may have a point & I may well have got things half-confused there...Will have a closer look tonight when im not @ work!

[MrCharisma]

Just on team spirit. Currently;

Team Spirit: composed
Confidence: strong


My team spirit hasn't moved for a while and I have a feeling my confidence has dropped from wonderful to strong

Unfortunately, you have got things a bit mixed up. Everything you say is completely correct, except you've attributed the wrong skills to the different effects.

Where you've put 'popular', it should be solid leadership. Where you've got leadership, it should be agreeability (where popular is the highest and best option).

Basically, for a player to have an effect on your TS he needs to have the highest leadership on your team. Whether that's solid, passable (I sold my team leader with solid leadership, so the player with the next highest leadership, in my case passable, takes over), or even lower, it doesn't change the effect. All it does is determine which one of your players is the team leader. If two players have the same leadership, it will depend which one is higher (you can get high solids, low solids and everything in between) as to which will be the team leader.

Once that is decided, it then comes down to his agreeability (popular, sympathetic, pleasant, controversial or nasty) what kind of effect he has on the TS. A pleasant team leader won't have a positive effect, but won't have a negative one either. Sympathetic and popular will have increasingly positive effect, while controversial or nasty will make it drop faster and rise slower.

Leadership - determines which of your player is the team leader
Agreeability - determines what effect your team leader has on your TS

Also, where you say that 'leadership only affects the team on the field - they are less likely to make mistakes, or be affected by confusion due to unfamiliar tactics etc'... you're thinking of experience. The only player that will contribute his leadership to the total team experience (which is what will help stop confusion with unfamiliar formations) is the captain, but experience is more important even for him.

Your TS is at composed, which is the middle level. It won't change from there unless you PIC or MOTS. All these other things that we talk about (team leaders, coach leadership, etc), all they really do is speed or slow the tendancy for the TS to go back to the composed level. To get it off there in the first place you have to find the right matches to PIC.

Confidence will normally drop back to strong if you have it on wonderful. To stop it, you need some sport psychologists. Last season I found that 3 psychologists would allow it to remain at wonderful, but this season you seem to need more. 7 seems to have done the trick for me, but I haven't tried out 4,5 or 6.
