Good luck this season
I'm finished with power training, all SA's and roles trained
except for the new kid, Noviello, who is an on-going project.
Alaoui is now too slow to give second role. :(

The big skill/stats picture:
Attachment 11695
By the way, I had renamed a few players awhile back
(any guesses? they are not footy players' names),
and am considering renaming my goalkeeper (not! the Dutchman) to
Slobo Ilijevski, but he was born in suburb of Skopje, which at the time
was "Yugoslavia" so I have to change his nationality, which I don't generally
do... it's in Macedonia, yeah?
All the training I have done, my red to green pack ratio was really low, better than last time.
I see so many complaints of injury on the forum,
and I really want to ask them
what their training was the 24 hours before,
how tired were the guys, what morale...
but most importantly, where are you in building facilities?
Because I have been the mad builder since day 1, since my goal is to
have 80,000 capacity. :)
Attachment 11696
I have just got the drainage, and I think it actually *does* help.
I also avoided using the stretching training, everytime I used that it seems like a strained thigh or broken ankle happens.
Cat I only build as required because I read posts from regular forum users who said that a large stadium does not bring support in lower levels.Quote:

I hope you are not spending tokens on the stadium when you could be spending them on players.:)
I spent a handful at the beginning, but not much. I have just never stopped building, as
soon as something finished I start another build.
It isn't about the spectators why I build, I almost always have the five percent bonus.
You have to upgrade stadium to upgrade everything else.
I build because I want the facilities to generate more booster packs, and to get the
best pitch possible to lower injury risk. I feel that it's finally paying off, and I am
getting less injuries when training, hardly every any when I play at home.
Attachment 11704
I imagine all the empty seats are covered with black and yellow tarps with pretty logos. :)
Guessing Troll Mourinho hasn't hit your squad with injuries yet?:)
Oh I have had one in game, but all else from training and really a lot less than before I got the drainage.
The Troll has been having fun with my scoreline & morale (my guys not used to losing! :))
great team :)
Attachment 11710 Attachment 11711
Finally, a game went how I hoped. YAY!!
Now in fifth place...
Attachment 11742
he had gained a bunch during the PT and took just a little more, I really like this Dutchman.... :)
Konate also gained a bunch and has achieved third role, DMC
Attachment 11743
We have many good players in our country ;)Quote:

oh frabjous day, 4 4 2.
Right now I have my best guys on field...
In 4 4 2. I have no clue what else to do, we are about the same Q, me a little better. The guy I just drew at 0 got Arrowford to 2 over 1 before he had a guy red carded and wound up drawn at 2, he was playing 4 5 1 Vee, so I am considering it.
I gave report in HAYD on today's league match, here's the tabel: Attachment 11818
As you can see, the difference between 2nd and 9th is 3 points, so I'm still in contention. It's a competitive league, with many managers who attend their matches, and I am not making excuses (!) but I haven't been able to be awake for mine, and though I wish I was doing better, I am more grateful to *finally* be able to get some Z's.
But since I'm doing so mediocre, I figured I'd test out the new turf and see what happens.
Attachment 11820
I never let my guys go under 70%, but I thought what the heck, let's find out where they break. And really, I've been surprised, I've run them down into the red and only green boostered when they got down to 20%. I run them at hard training each kind three times now, and only had two injuries, one 10 red pack and the other 15. Muahaha, I feel like a stern taskmaster but it's rather fun. I plan to stop when I have only enuff greens to get them back up to 70%, or I run out of reds, whichever comes first, then I will stop. :)
Attachment 11821
Which makes him this:Attachment 11822
(apprently the pix are broken)
training whole team down to 20%ish a couple times, three more injuries, when they were at 16%. Ok....
Hahaha:Attachment 11823 Attachment 11825 :cool:
Attachment 11826
So I think my mad building is finally paying off with less injury (it also decreases amount of reds, slightly, that are needed to heal). Woot!
Attachment 11833
Sold Moroccan MC Yacine Alaoui for ~3M
Great training demands great sacrifices :D
I would not want to play for your team & go through that training session. I hope you took them all out for a drink afterwards LOLQuote:

Which season is your team?
I imagine they needed more than a drink, maybe a hot tub & massage (for sore muscles!) and then maybe a drink :)
It was mostly an experiment I won't do again until next season, and I hope it doesn't ruin their game brains for today.
Since I sold Alaoui, I wanted another midfielder:
Attachment 11838
@Mihai Hertz ...I'm in level five
Sold Ryan Cathey, DC/DMC/DR for 4.24$
Attachment 11874
Bought this guy.. changed his name and nationality as well, because I felt like it. :)
Attachment 11875
League game, I played my guys in 4 4 2 and won 6-0 How about that?
Since I was bored I did more training, when finished I might post a picture of the whole team's stats,
but this guy it will probably be his last time to six stars, (maybe, time will tell) so here's my defensive
sub since season one,
and also the only player I've ever received a reasonable offer on:
Attachment 11908
The new acquisition is a fast trainer:
Attachment 11909
I will for sure throw any extra greens I get at him for training.
He might get a third role, but maybe not any special abilities,
since I am beginning to think they are decorations...
He also needs a bunch of skills points to get up to speed,
that is my next goal..
:) Attachment 11913 gettin' there
League was against an easier team; Attachment 11914
Still a lot of six's, but at least Bobo got a nine and Man of the Match,
I'll live with a win!
I have read a few other people commenting on SA's & are they worth it. I had a good CM no other position & no SA, he was a good 7/8 each game. I trained him to DMC & dribbler he has had in the past games 6-7-6-6-4. Its his last chance to impress tonight?Quote:

But I hadn't assigned the piles of points til now.
EDIT: I kept the points in hand for the most part until I was sure; I didn't want to tank but it was a possibility the way this season started...
I got onto the forum and read a lot of July Fourth's guides season 2, and went to it with power training, so I could compete for a treble with a team that could play many formations. I think I am finally there! or close anyway... the Cup is such a roll of the dice.
That's very cool, great job!Quote:
