6 players over 50 matches? I bet they will retire at age 22...

Good luck Buffs

Can't find the Cup draw thread so I'll just post here until I sort things out.

Initial findings of using retiring and ooc contract players for new season cup draw is:

Top 14 players by Q count for your draw;
It doesn't matter whether a player is signed or unsigned, its the Top 14.

Implications (some of this is already known):
1. You can't use high Q players being OOC in the new season to lower your Q. As long as the replacements for unsigned players are of a lower Q than the OOC players your Draw Q will remain unchanged.
2. The flip side of this is if you have a team with several OOC players whose Q is lower than the 2/3* replacements then those replacements WILL increase your teams Q for the draw. This has an implication for 'Cup manipulating' teams.....if you have very low Q reserves lowering your Q then make sure they are signed for the new Season, or your 50Q players will be 'replaced' by 90Q ones, affecting your draw.

Damn the apathy has hit me hard this season (Stupid cup exit).

Need to buy some players but cba.

Getting bored so I've been trying to think of something to do when a friend made a Offer on a reserve DC/DMC (just 1T). I looked on the TM and saw another 104Q DC/DMC so decided to buy him and accept the negotiation and see how the new guys performance in my team compared with his previous one.

With the Buffs having failed in the 1st round of the Cup, a typical Scottish Glorious Failure (unbeaten but out ) there were 2 adjusted targets that the Buffs wanted to put in the Club's Record Book.

1. Undefeated in all competitions for the Season - FAILED, we lost a CL SF this season; and
2. Win the league by leading outright from Round 1 - ACHIEVED, 11-0 win in Round 1 put us top and we never shifted (we have 1 league game left but are 14 pts clear with others to play 2).

So to date, in 17 Seasons, the Buffs have:

• 14 league titles;
• 10 CL Trophies; and
• 3 Cups.

Steve Nicol, DL/DC has now played 378 matches - a Club Record. A decision must be made on whether we carry him over and nurse him through matches to reach 400 or bin him and keep near 7* Colin Jackson. (Its not looking good for Stevie >.< )

If he's binned then we'll probably be looking for one of the following players to chase down the 400 mark (a long term target):

• 20 yo GK Craig Gordon (136);
• 21 yo ST Jack Harper (180); or
• 23 yo DL/DC Andy Robertson (236).

It had always been an ambition to get the Buffs MCs averaging 7.50 or over in a Season. Either of Henderson and Morrison have come close in different Seasons but Nordeus scuppered the validity of the target with the ratings changes.

Nevertheless both MCs, Henderson & Morrison, exceeded 7.50 this Season: 7.67 and 8.00 in 35 and 38 matches respectively.

Season 18

Next Season's targets are:

• The treble (hopeful);
• 200 goals in all competitions (highly unlikely); and
• 6 or more goals scored by a player in 1 match (unlikely).
