The Boot Room (new managers zone)

[Real Maine Blues]

First season and won league with two games to go, looking forward to the guard of honor and the cup tonight.

Looking forward to next season!

Speaking of quitting, I thought you had?

Yes I have quit. I am not playing anymore. I am just active here on the forums

Saving up the skill points and signing him before applying them works. I don't like to let contracts expire, because thereafter they are only 2 year, and if i want the player long term that winds up being higher wages.


Keep in mind some of the youngsters on the market are from managers' Academies above you, if they are the free youth.. they might play well, but train just atrociously.

Oh really? You cant renew them for 3years?
Doesnt that work out the same? If I renew, say, half my expirees now it'll be renewed for 3years including this season.
If I renew the rest at the start of next season it might be only for 2years, but they'd expire the same time as those others no?

Ah I get ya, so this youngster I got might have been the freebie from that higher level academy and play well much like my own freebie youth

Update OK, so I have 2 Youth STs... one 2* 23Q and the other 4* 33Q
I have 81T saved up and just got into L4 so probably a rebuilding/tank season as I've only got 3.8M budget.
I saw a 5.3M ST Q37 for 4.8M... if only I had 1 more mil I wouldnt need to ask.
So is this 24T youth ST worth it considering I wont have much else to spent my Tokens on, I'm lowish on $ and I've only got 18man sqd but I have 5 STs (3 starters 28-32Q {3-4*}, 1 retiring reserve and the 2* youth)

I have a question. I have 20 moral boosters right now. If I buy the so written "5x" package do I get only 5 moral boosters for 6 tokens or my 20 boosters would be multiplied by 5 and become 100?

[DiZZee]

20 + 5 only

[Cat Harrison]

Zangy, I would buy him. The 24T youth is often a super trainer, an as you have room.. another ST never hurts! I have been buying my youths the past couple seasons (I get two a season now, woot! ) and they have all been pretty good players, and they are still on my team.
But there are other ways to spend T... you could do some Free Agent buying and selling and work up your $$ some more...

Forgot to add, this past season was a double for me again

League + Cup

why spend 24T on a 18yo youth when you can most likely buy one for less than 24T almost every time. I look at the transfer market and if I see one roughly equivalent, then I would rather spend 10T than 24T.

How have your market bought youth performed?
I would have signed my next 24T if I wasn't getting him at the end of the season, not gonna sign a player thats going to lose a star in a few days, I going to have to interrupt the training so that they arrive at the beginning of a season.
How many levels of Academy are there in total and how many days does it take to train youth in the highest?

My 24T 1st youth player performed really well and trained really fast, where as the youths I got from the market (in general) need a year to train up and start playing well
I think the equivalent 18yo on the market wont be as fast training unless you're paying the max for him. I've only seen a $7M player once this season, managed to bag a Q39 5* MC who's valued at 6.2M and he's played REAL badly.
Last season I bought 2 5* 18yo and they're only coming good this season.

Need your opinions, continue to play this Q39 MC for my CL game (down 4-nil) or use green boosters to heal up my 2 MCs who were playing awesome before they got injured.

I'm also down 2-nil in my cup, losing against this money man
He started a month after me and has miles better Q, look at his team full of SA's as well :O
