    Why are you reducing your squad size down to 14 players?

    And damn! Those are some hard requirements for a player to be kept! If I followed that, I'd be left with 3 players...

    Hi Fail G.
    A number of reasons for reduction:
    1. Players lose ~ 20% value in addition to the star season on season, so it can make good economic sense.
    2. Your best 14 anyway determine your Cup level & opponents.
    3. At higher levels $ becomes increasingly important.
    4. Also with 2 of my teams being ex 35T leagues, unfortunately there is less sentiment to hold on to players, as they are very competitive leagues.

    My style is to have a 5*/6* balanced squad rather than 1 or 2 superstars. IMO some legends of the game have done that (1 x 7*/8*) in 35T leagues and failed spectacularly.

    I generally get a minimum of 3 seasons out of players, up to 6 for young neg players. Although have not had a 300+ match player yet.

    Davy Gravy S65 Predictions

    S18L18, S13L13, S8L8.

    Four predictions:
    All 3 teams to get CL Qualification spot.
    1 x CL success.
    1 x double.
    5 x trophies for the cabinet.

    I am willing to spend up big next season, as this season was a low spend season.

    Davy Gravy S65 All Systems Go

    Davy Gravy has kicked off in all competitions today.

    S18L18 - 103.5 AQ. 7x5* playing variations on 3-1-4-1-1. Undefeated.
    Davy Gravy Teams-s18l18.png
    A good start with a win in League & Cup, only draw in CL (which is a tough group). As can see bought 2x~$100M players in MC & AMC. Sold my academy player for $50M.
    Davy Gravy Teams-s18l181.png
    Striker from last season, leading the line solo, is scoring at a rate of 85% + 2 MOM in 3 games.
    Team is on track. $ will become an issue.

    S13L13 - 78.9 AQ. 1x6*, 5x5* playing variations on 3-1-3-1-2.
    Davy Gravy Teams-s13l13.png
    Good wins in League & Cup, unfortunately missed CL game with a 1-0 loss. Bought 2x$50M players MR & ST & sold academy for $25M. Heaps of T & $.

    S8L8 55.2 AQ. 15x5* playing variations on 4-1-2-3. Undefeated.
    Davy Gravy Teams-s8l8.png
    Bought 2x$10M players MR & ST. Good amount of $ & T.
    Davy Gravy Teams-s8l81.png
    Very happy with start of new MR. Validates my theory of buying very high 3's & 8's for 1T.

    Basically Day 1 - 3 will buy very high 3's - 8's upwards for 1T. Day 4 - 14 Neg's almost exclusively except for FA or to fix an unbalanced squad. Day 14 - 24 FA only, unless chasing results then back to Negs.

    Davy Gravy Teams S65W1 - TWTW

    A solid start. All teams still in all comps & Equal 1st in all 3 Leagues.

    S18L18 (10-2-2) Equal 1st in League, & should qualify in CL & Cup.
    10x5* playing variations around 3-2-3-1-1.
    Davy Gravy Teams-s18l18.jpg
    Whilst lack of recent attendance may have affected results, still happy with team. Also happy with maintaining $ budget at this level.
    Davy Gravy Teams-s18l181.jpg

    S13L13 (8-2-4) Equal 1st in League, will qualify in cup tie, struggling in CL group.
    3x6* & 5x5* playing variations around 3-1-3-1-2.
    Davy Gravy Teams-s13l13.jpg
    Have huge budget in $ & T, so will probably go mad on TM soon, but still will not be able to buy CL qual from group stage. 1st time not making it past group stage.
    Davy Gravy Teams-s13l132.jpg

    S8L8 (11-2-1) Equal 1st in League and coasting in CL & Cup.
    1x6* & 18x5* playing variations on ND.
    Davy Gravy Teams-s8l8.jpg
    Happy with the team & the rarity of playing an ND.

    Interesting that my 2 top scorers are the red arrow players. Also in League have 3 of the top 5 assist players, so a real team effort.
