The LU Hattrick Team Owners Thread

[thewizard1o1]

Had a pretty poor 3-0 win today, had 85% possesion throughout the match. Anyway i'm 6 from 6 now and have my main rival the next two weeks in a row so it should be interesting...

my new coach, purchased for a cool $537,400...

Heribert May (8881459)
55 years, disastrous form, healthy
A solid trainer who is fond of attacking
A sympathetic guy who is balanced and dishonest.
Has outstanding experience and poor leadership abilities.

He is from Austria. Is there any reason why I can't see his picture yet?

Funny, I bought the same coach this week!!!

 

[nibbs]

dude, why does my coach not have a picture? i'm outraged to say the least

 

[Dogs Of War]

Buggered if I know, I thought everyone got a picture. My Coach has a picture.

Maybe yours in on a top 10 wanted list or something, or possibly ashamed to be coaching your club

Seriously though, ask someone at the BDF, theirs enough GM's who go to that site who may be able to do something about it.

Train him for a few more weeks so he will reach excellent defending, then sell him and put 1 or 200k at the starting price.

I drew 1-1 today in what was a really even game.

We meet again in 3 weeks and who ever wins is most likely to come 2nd. If we draw again I am positiv I will come 2nd on goal difference.

thanks for the sound advice vesh. too bad i'm training playmaking, and i'm not going to change just for one young guy. even know i spose all my defenders could be better. but yeah.

 

[nibbs]

i've figured out a new plan for the coming weeks. upon buying my new coach, my side went $218,000 into debt. however I have an 18 year old trainee on my side who has inadequate passing and soon to be excellent playmaking. now, according to transfer compare i should be able to get somewhere in the region of $1,000,000 for him. that would wipe out my debt, whilst at the same time allow me to bring in a new trainee and still have some cash left over.

interesting interesting

 

[Poida_Raider]

well i thought bugger it. i put michael chan on the transfer list.
if anyone knows any defensive trainers out there who could be looking for a bargain, or simply just to drive up his price, then by all means let them know!

i know there is defending trainers here, but this guy is probably just not spectacular enough for them, and i totally understand.

i saw on the transfer compare thing that players with similar TSI, and obviously solid defending have sold for a low of 200-300,000. average of 500,000, and a top end of 1,000,000 for players with a TSI of 1000 or similar, so i hope i will get some good money out of him! i need to buy a new coach too, i'd go into debt to do it also, but i'm too far in already apparently, and the ywont let me go any further.
hopefully after this guy sells (when he hopefully does sell!)
i got him starting at 150000. i thought that was a modest price, i dont normally put starting prices in, but i spose this is the first time i've sold a decent youth pull.

BIDDING IS OPEN AS WE WRITE!!

 

[Mad Dogg]

Mr Charisma will be the first to face the supernatural middie (if he accepts the challenge :-k ) in the LU Cup this week. I wasn't going to play him in the league since he's in wretched form, so he'll probably only play in the LU Cup for the next few weeks until his form gets to at least inadequate.

Michael Chan (57684057)
17 years, passable form, healthy
A popular guy who is temperamental and honest.
Has disastrous experience and wretched leadership abilities.

Speciality: Head

Nationality: Oceania
Total Skill Index (TSI): 710
Wage: 1 227 AU$/week
Owner: Madtown Vikings
Warnings: 0

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

Very nice.

I'm not really interested in him as I've got my full 10 trainees, but I kickstarted the bidding at $250k for you. If I get him for that little then I'll sell one of the other guys and Chan can be my tenth trainee. But I don't you'll have too much trouble getting double that. One word of advice - make sure you play him as a defender in your friendly (and use his I Speak section to say that you will). Otherwise he won't get training this week, which will turn off a lot of potential buyers.

dude, why does my coach not have a picture? i'm outraged to say the least

For some reason, new coaches often don't have the picture at first. Just be patient and it'll appear...and indeed, I just had a look and it looks like his picture is there already.

Talking of coaches, the forward that I bought late last season to be my future coach popped to solid experience after yesterdays game. Now I just have to wait another 8 weeks or so until I can make him coach.

 

[Poida_Raider]

yeah thanks for that mad dogg, i do plan on playing him as my central defender on wednesday. and i'll go write in his i speak part!

cheers!

 

[Deacon]

anyone need a friendly cause i do

 

[Poida_Raider]

i was just thinking how it would not help my cause at all if mr michael chan gets injured in todays friendly. i hope i'm not jinxing myself. noone has taken over mad dogg's bid. but i spose there is still a whole day and a bit to go.

 

[nibbs]

i can't seem to log in at the moment. anyone else having simliar problems? i logged in about an hour ago to set up my line up. i keep getting the log in failed message

 

[Poida_Raider]

that could be bad nibbs. better check your email. just in case.


i'm currently killing avalon, michael chan scored the opening goal and all is going well at the moment

 

[nibbs]

that could be bad nibbs. better check your email. just in case.

no new emails dood

edit: i just logged in successful. 2 hours of confusion and fear at an end

edit: my account got locked because of confusion i had with hattrick forever. i didn't realise i was meant to log in with the new security code feature. they would've seen me attempting to log in, only it wouldn't because i was using the wrong password. my account must have been shut down while they'll saw this happening. thank gawd

edit: heathcote beat me 3-0, dam

edit: i have a player out for 8 weeks. that's ridiculous

 

[Poida_Raider]

ahh, thats good nibbs.

won 5-1 against avalon. michael chan got 2 1/2 stars. which is good i guess.

and the whole team, players in bad form and all, played well!
now for next week! where to play this time..

 

[Poida_Raider]

ok i play you nibbs. i'll book it soon, where you wanna play?

rockhampton was a nice venue. cant play at heathcote again. i spose theres many nice arenas in the LU cup

 

[nibbs]

rockhampton is fine dood. book away.

 

[Poida_Raider]

big michael chan ended up going for 468. a little dissappointing. but good enough to get me out of debt.

i might save up for a while now, if i can stick to it.

 

[MrCharisma]

whoooooooooooot

My 19yr old excellent defender just went up to outstanding.... TSI 4,000! Oh yeaah!
