The Boot Room (new managers zone)

[Emlyn Cole]

Hello all i am a newbie could someone please explain to me how do you find the progress of one of your players getting there next star ? Thanks you

Welcome to the Forum Emlyn (and to the game).
You click on the player's Skills, round up his Quality (Q) to the next 5 and mutliply by 3. Subtract the 3 avgs at the bottom then divide by 0.2.

You see my picture 2 posts up (the one with the red triangle shirt)?
His Q is 29, so round up to 30. x3 = 90.
Subtract 27.6, 31.4, 29.4 => 90 - 27.6 - 31.4 - 29.4 = 1.6... divide by 0.2 => 8
So 8pts until the next star
Now go to Training and look at the player's Progress bar, this shows you how close he is to the next point.
Also next to it is Gain: how much increase in % from the last training session or match

Got a new young right footed DC

Another 1T 4*, this one not so close to 5*, will take 19pts, but his value is high, so hopefully I'll get those pts quick

Missed out on this guy as I was 0.5M short

Someone make me feel better and tell me that he's 3.12M only because he has a 2nd position compared to the one I did get.
Would have preferred an 18yo DL/DC who is both footed as can play in 3 back 4 positions, but only needed an inside right DC

Players do not gaine value for a second or third role or for having SA it is the opposite.
Whend you teach a New role or SA the player do not gaine value, is MV will be the same, the price only rise whend you rise Q.

So especialy in older players, If you have a triple role with SA cheaper that another player witH higher value but only one role, they can have the same speed of training.

Oh ok thanks

Damn, I just lost my inactive friend, no more risk free friendly matches to play :-/

Won another offline match today. Yesterday's was an even better result though, he had 7Q more than me and was 3rd place.
He watched the match but had 0 fans ... and I beat him 0-2 while offline

Yes, it seems that the engine somehow protect the offline managers.

I also get that eerie feeling. Seems like when I log on while a match is in progress, then immediately there is an injury or if a replace one, the same thing happens. ( not sure if this is acceptable to post or comment on these days with things that are spooky or go bump in to big brother)

I clicked Join Match just after KO and had an injury on the 1st min, injured for 12days! WTH

Also forgot to set an alarm for the match so my team was all jumbled up due to selecting 1st team/subs by CND for training.
Lukily I had a my RES GK in DMC so was able to move him into goal, replaced my injured ST with my DMC so the team was looking alright, mixed strengthed team. Won it 1-nil, and through to the next Cup round

might be true i notice that too, when i play against teams that the manager its not watching the game i always get a bad result .

I have gone back and forth over watching matches. I have had runs where not watching was better, but also I have watched matches and felt that I made the difference. Sigh.. I still can't make up my mind if it is better to watch or not! it's more fun though so i still try to show up when I can..
