BvB (USA team)

Thanks! :)

I found replacements for the two sold players, but am only able to sign one 'cause I'm selling off the freebie Youth (the T one was an ST, I'm stocked on those so he was released into the wild)

Here is the replacement for Miguel Duhamel, even though he's not DMC I think I'm ok with those but haven't enough proper Defensemen.

Bob Kehoe

Since Miguel was CAPTAIN the armband has passed to J. G. Reeder.

Sold freebie kid to one of my lower alts, Domino FC.

And signed my new guy:

First over $100M player! I am going to miss Kwoczala, there is no doubt. So I am going to give this guy the Defensive Wall too, as I think it is one of the more useful SA's.

So this is what the Team looks like now:

I find it strange indeed the highest scoring game this Season is one I won against the guy in 1st place. (!..?)

p.s. I put this in Season thread but add it here since I mentioned I sold these guys:

Sigh.

I'm mostly finished with training the younger half of my Team, some are close on another star but match play and regular training will have to get them there. Justin Case has learned defensive walls, and a couple guys got another star:

You trained 50 skill points in two days?! :O

Did you note how much he cost? He's hugely expensive & top training speed for my Team, he gets about 110 @ hard practice match. Took two and a half days, actually. :D

Kehoe & Twellman were faster but they have that funny colored star that makes them train slow.

Ohhh. That explains it. I'm scared to use "hard" training on young players. When I started I injured three players with stretching! (If I recall right I had hard on my bench/reserves which would have been 10 players at the time...)

Yeah he got injured (4 day ACL tear) during the PT. I keep the condition always green, and have facilities at max.

I mostly avoid the hard stretching, as it seems too much risk for the gain.. only on players that get good gains from it, mostly a couple old guys. Only use regular stretching to even out condition.

And he gets 80 on hard cardio, but 35 on hard stretching...

I found a new player on the TL that I think will fit well in my Team (a DC/DMC since I still need more D), but the hard part is always letting a player you've had a long time, who has done well, go. But, had to happen sometime, and I really am overstocked in his position(s), so Eddie Lawson is being sold:

I just checked, and with a half hour yet to go he has two bids, pretty darn good for an old guy.

Since my new guy is going to be actually a defensive defensive midfielder (like Fuad Martin, or my current captain J.G. Reeder) he is getting the name of an historical defender: Bob Annis

I find it of note that not only is my 24T youth from Season 9 playing FANTASTIC, he still trains as well as a youngster:

I expect that will change drastically next season so I am going to throw green packs as I get them to his training. :)

Already slowed down, but 'cos of this:
