Attachment 19754 Attachment 19755 Attachment 19756
So now my team looks like this: Attachment 19757
I have been inspired by Hrgamrga (read: stole his idea) :D
to rename my Stadium in honor of the best player to ever play in my team;
As per a request, here are the trophies I have in my 35T team, the StL Steamers:Attachment 20066
I find it interesting that team has more Cups than BvB. :D
So, middle of the season...
I'm still in all three competitions!!!
I had forgotten how tough the three matches a day schedule can be!
(Yeah I live W. coast USA, far far from Europe..)
I have had a loss in league: Attachment 20067 :(
But, really, I cannot complain, my team has been doing very well:
Attachment 20068 Attachment 20069 Attachment 20070
I face a friend (and tough opponent!) next in CL,
I wish it wasn't until the Final, might get knocked out:
Attachment 20074
Regan has been training awesome by my team's tortoise standards (and playing very well): Attachment 20072
Ali Hassan will be very hard to replace, but it looks like I have a little while: Attachment 20077
I am pleased to have GK's that get good ratings (finally!): Attachment 20073 Attachment 20097
All those MOM's paid off!: Attachment 20075 :D
The new kid Zakaria has been pretty darn good. I am still looking for a replacement for Apostolakis.
Barclay Plager has been outstanding in defense.
Attachment 20071 Attachment 20076 Attachment 20110
Got my youth today. I am selling the 2 star ST but am considering keeping this guy:Attachment 20139 :D
So I didn't buy my youth. I got this kid: Attachment 20174
Yes I renamed him. I now have eleven players you can find in wikipedia. :D
Stan Musial - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WOOT!: Attachment 20175
happy everday. good luck all team
Since I have got far in Cup, I can now afford to build ginormous stadium: Attachment 20178 :D
we believe in you cat, add a hint of backstory to attract more prey, i mean readers ;P
I have never done well at creative writing. (as much as i admire it!) :(
Well I did lose the first match against Storm FC, 4 to 1, at least I got a goal?! This evening is my home so hopefully I can turn it around (or at least not embarrass myself too much) :D
Total fail! Out of Champs League..But at least it was only a loss by one goal instead o' three: Attachment 20270
I must say he has a great team, and had my number for sure!
Thanks Cat, Your formation inspired me to beat a strong team in my league...
how are u making those 7 star players ? power training or ur buying players with skill points to add ? buying from scouts i understand .. but what about those young players .. 7 stars is sick
I buy my players off the Transfer Market, and I buy my Youths from the Academy if they are 18T or more, and a role I want to replace. Basically, I only buy the faster trainers. Keough was the most expensive player I have ever seen on my Market when I got him, he was a few points from his sixth star. I used to Power Train like crazy, but I have an older team now so only the younger guys get the extra training now.
Since I am out of Champs League and Cup (though I did get this: Attachment 20453)
I thought it was time to do a minor amount of training on everyone. :D
Attachment 20454 Attachment 20455 Attachment 20456
I find it interesting, a couple of my old guys are still great runners, and some of my younger guys not so much. Eh, I include wages/value for those who like to assess that.
What kind of training. Training before the next league starts?Quote:

I now have a Trophy Room on the first page of this thread (http://forum.topeleven.com/team-show...tml#post121936). :)
************************ Farewell to Fuad Martin ************************
Today was the last game for one of the few players left that has had a huge part in that collection of twenty one Trophies, including this Season.
I had hoped for a win, so that Fuad Martin, my Captain, my rock in Defense, could go out with a good one.. but such was not to be.
He had, as ever, a solid game, but the rest of the team.. not so much.
He started 291 matches for my Team, only 55 goals, but at least twice so many Assists, usually in critical matches, always playing Defensive or Defensive Mid with a Free Kick specialty. He has always been Captain, so we shall see how my team reacts to a new one. I am so sad that he is retiring.
Attachment 20603 Attachment 20604
A very busy Season, having done well in the Champs League: Attachment 20606 and Cup: Attachment 20605
Though I wish I could have made it further (especially in Cup!)
I can console myself I was knocked out by the eventual Winner. :)
League was pretty good, with a stumble at the end: Attachment 20607 Attachment 20608 Attachment 20617
Since Kofi Bobo was playing so much Champs League and Cup, my League tops look different this Season.
Over all my team, he is still tops: Attachment 20609 The big Skills picture: Attachment 20610
Sheesh what an expensive stadion: Attachment 20611
_____________________________________End of Season 11_____________________________________
I have found a young player I liked: Attachment 20637 :D
After applying the handful of points from training the last few days, the team starts its 12th Season thus:
Attachment 20638
So many players in your team, you can play almost any formation you want :D
:D Almost, I don't have a DMR! But Miguel Duhamel can play in that spot if I feel the need for that. :)

I think it is awkward they don't show first names. It's Robin Poirot actually.
Attachment 20871 Maybe he's a cousin of Rene.. :D
Mike the Bike has been sold. I tried to keep his Q up, but his form has been pretty poor. But I sold him to one of my farm teams so he can stay around for me awhile yet. :)
Attachment 20930
So I was looking for a player to replace him.. and there were all these great players on the tranny list.. like I never see such a nice list EVER, and I was not going to be online for awhile. So I tossed a T on a few nice ones and went out.
This happened: Attachment 20931
So more than Mike have to be sold. Barclay Plager, while a wonderful player, has slowed considerably in training, so he was next on the block:
Attachment 20932
Still massively in the red, I have to do some thinking to figure out who else I want to sell.
And a couple of the trainees have gained stars:
Attachment 20933 Attachment 20934 :D
Its really good to see a team that many players can play different roles :D did you train/adding skill points for them ?
I try to buy nice two role players, and sometimes train another role and/or a Special Ability.
I slowed down on training for awhile as I have had an older team, but since I just picked some young signings, I will be planning on doing some more training on them.. to add a little Quality, but since they are all already 5 stars, not too much.
I haven't decided on extra roles for the new ones, have to think on that awhile. There are some positional roles I hardly ever use, like DML/R, so I won't be training those. It depends on who I can make myself sell, actually. :)
Farewell
Wayne Rainey: Attachment 21020 Adrian Tagliaferro: Attachment 21080 Grant Fuhr: Attachment 21081
Hello new kids:
Attachment 21082 No I didn't buy him from Mr. Scout, I got a magical (read: I see one like this once a Season if I am lucky, and I check every time I log on) tranny list and went in debt. But he was the gem... 1 training session away from sixth star...:)
Attachment 21083 Attachment 21084 Attachment 21085 :D
Hassan Zakaria has started to learn DR, since I need a backup 'cos I sold my awesome triple role D.
Still looking for the perfect right winger. C'mon Training Academy gods, give me an AMR/MR! :)
A friend was selling a rather nice ST so I decided to buy him: Attachment 21110
With all the new additions my Squad looks quite different: Attachment 21111 :)
I don't put too many Matches on this page, but this one is worth saving:
Attachment 21130 Attachment 21131 Attachment 21132 Attachment 21133 :D
Since I got so many youngsters, I couldn't resist doing some training...
I added some points to most of the younger players,
But these guys got to milestones:
Attachment 21153 Attachment 21154 Attachment 21155 Attachment 21173 Attachment 21174 Attachment 21176
So now my Squad looks like this: Attachment 21177
Out of greens & Tokens. Training is done! :)
Out of Cup again.. no surprises. I faced a good team and they won.
Champs League faring better: Attachment 21516 League too: Attachment 21519
Some of my guys have gotten their sixth star: Attachment 21517 Attachment 21520 Attachment 21518 :)
The next training this happened: Attachment 21522 Attachment 21521 :D
I can never pull off that formation...always falling flat down, face first...
I've been playing Maple Leaf as my main formation since Season 2. Season 1, I played 3W 1 4 2, but found my D too porous. :D
_____________________________________End of Season 12_____________________________________
I have played 12 Seasons (which is not a year, I really do suck at math)! How bout that? :D
This Season, I hope to do better in League! Last Season was tough, and I fell down hard at the end. (To those who think attending matches isn't important, missing two cost me two places in the table) so this Season, I may actually spend precious golden coins to make sure I can be there at important matches, and maybe finish better than Fourth! :)
Here's the team as they start: Attachment 21978
My building is at a stop unless I stay in Cup or CL, it's 268M for next upgrade(!): Attachment 21979
And some of my favorite players are on the list for *possible* replacement. I will wait a couple days and start looking, but suitable replacements will be very hard to find for these guys, so they may well wind up staying around this Season:
Attachment 21980 Attachment 21981 Attachment 21982
Trophies updated, 4th League, 1st Champs League. :D
NOT retiring yet! WOOT!!!: Attachment 21983
1. Your anniversary season isn't until next season.Quote:

Last Season (actually season before that) I had a retiree announce, at age 31? Meaning retire at 32...? Dunno but Im happy Bobo is still five star....
I know I suck at maths, but I'm in Season 13 now, don't that mean I have played a year?
From what I see on the first page you joined in 10-05-2013, so your anniversary will be next month :D
