I like to do "practice match" only on players that haven't played 2 matches that day. Cardio is my primary training, and I try to keep my guys at even condition so stretching is for that only. I prefer to log in more than once than risk training to risky low condition in one go (75% is lowest for me, so if it's a long time to next match, I might make 'em go run a few times rather than the other trainings) Unless you are prepared to use red packs, don't use the hard train setting.

Replacements for retirees happens Day 1 if you do not have enough players for a minimum squad.
Sometimes those replacements aren't bad benchers, and they're free, but you can't sell them, and if you want a truly full squad you have to keep or sack them, which isn't free...

Did someone say 3 wingers? Never have three guys on one side -- you'll get bad possession.

Thanks for the answers http://forum.topeleven.com/images/icons/icon14.png
Ah ok, if you cant sell them, then its more of a crapshoot.
3 wingers: 1ML, 1AML! and 1 MR (narrow back 3)

Who know!!!!

I cant see my friend's fixtures... he's like L10+ though... so i just challenge a friend who's already ditched the game

Oh a question about moving fixtures? From say L4 and up since you says first 4 levels are easier to win matches, is it worth paying a token to move a match?
I have a match at 17:58 then a cup match at 18:31. I've got a full 22man squad, quickly healed my 2 injuries for today and saving my 1st team for the Cup (0:0 from 1st away leg and 1st in my Lge with 3 wins in 3)

U can try out who is playing well and who is not so decide ur line-up. So, friendlies r better. Plus there is some enjoyment!!!!! :)

U can more one blue pack if u win for 5 or more..

I was just wondering if it is possible to keep your formation secret, i played a team that only showed 1 player on the field when i was working out what formation i was going to play against them.
10-25-2013
André Costa

He was not keeping secret he was inative and the engine sets a default formation to play...

u can move your players around and set the formation in 15 minutes before the game starts..

Yup. He has to be inactive. If u can come online any time, it is better to keep a different formation and change it 20 mins from the game.

If u r saving ur main squad and you can watch both the matches, and have enuf green packs and are not a Token buyer, u don't need to waste the 2 T. u might get a Q player for that. Even depends on how well did u win the 1st leg???? If u have won 4-0 or something and ur opponents team is not good enough, don't need to worry. All the best and post the results. Even I have a league match at 2 am and cup match at 3am. Maybe I won't be able to watch them. So I am playing 4-1-2-1-2 narrow diamond against both my opponents. I want to win in league as well as I want to win it this time as I have tight competition and there is a damn PTer in by League at rank 1. I am 2nd 3 GD behind!!! Wish me luck!!!

I won the first match 4-0 with my 2nd string and won the cup match 30mins later with a last minute penalty. Literally scored then the next in-game comment was the final whistle :cool:

1st match incidentally, was against a friend from another game, he had a defender sent off so ended up with only 2 defenders and illegal formation but I got two 5-day injuries.
Sold one of them lol... made a $150k profit since he was a free transfer last season, and only ever got 5, 6s and a few 7s this season.
My other injured player has a knee cartilage tear, his contract is up this season but he's an above avg performer but low Q & value. I need to make room for 1 more new youth player tomorrow. Do you think its harsh of me to sack him? :D

Update for my matches
Win the League match 1-0 by a goal from my AMC Migel'
Now, for my cup game 1 hour after that, I logged in a little late so when I saw the screen, the clock said 'soon'. Match started withinn15 secs so didn't apply greens. Started with 4-1-2-1-2 ND against 4-1-1-1-3. ST Krushovski put us in lead at 14th min from a corner by MC Ledent. I went to sub my Left back oorceddu out to get in MC Olsina and make my DR play DC(which he can play) and changing my 2 MCs position to ML/MR. Thus changing my formation to 3N-1-3W-1-2. But meanwhile they equalized at 17th min. At 36th min, we came back on lead by a Goal from ST Perbet. After half time, they equalized at 49th min and then took lead at 75th min. Their MC got injured at 85th min and no sub came in as their manager was not present. Match ended 3-2 against us but we qualified on away goals as aggt score was 3-3 and we had these 2 away goals and they had none.
Scorers for us- Krushovki (Ledent)
Perbet
Their DR got MoM

Maybe you have made a mistake while typing your post, but the time between 9.21 and 22.36 is surely 75 minutes and not just 15, which should give you ample time for arrangement. :D

You should decide which is more important and play your first team for that match.
Use your reserves for the other match and play your fitter players in both matches if you don't have 22 fit players.
Maybe sub the 3 with highest condition rather than lowest and play them in the 2nd match

I woke up early today to play my match and it got forfeited because he didn't put 11 players to start lol.. made me wake up early as well >_< lol
Funny as he had 14 players in his squad... so the game didn't automatically select his team nor did they give him any gens

I have a problem with one of my players, he's valued at 260k (just below highest value third of my team, highest is 1.41M lowest 24k.. L2)
He's Q16, and exactly middle rated Q of my team.
But his ratings in games are atrocious! 6 5 6 and a 4
In my first season he was just as bad. I've tried to sell him 3 times now and no offers lol... no one wants this loser :D
Should I just power train him up to Q19 and then try to sell him again, continue to play him as back-up or just keep selling him until he goes?

keep normal training and keep selling... or just >>> sack!

24k is my GK who's retiring this year but still does well enough to keep out my 5 star 24yo GK, but I'm playing both cos I've a lot of games close together

Hmmm... tomorrow I have a Lge match at 17:08 then a home Cup match at 18:36
Unfortunately I'll in at Wembley at that time so will be going into this cup game with tired players I cant change and can only move the game later.
Do you guys think its worth moving the Cup game or just try to make up for it on the away leg?

Depending on what time you expect to be home, I would change your cup kick-off until late night, if you can make it. Incidently, if you're going to Wembley for NFL match, give the Jags a cheer for me.

Thanks, I was considering a midnight k.o. already
Will do! Last month it was almost like a Vikings home match such was the effort & support

Update: I sold that deadbeat, I have enough room to bring in my 2 youngsters and let my injured gramps see out the rest of his contract
Got my 1st 2 Youth Players: 15T for a 4star Q20 MC, but I mostly play a wide diamond so he doesnt automatically fit in my team
The 0T one is a 2 star Q10 LB, 10.6def 10att 10Phys :-/ is he worth signing? I cant imagine he'd even be 100k value lol plus I've just signed a 19yo Q21 LB at the beginning of the season
If I sign him, I can see his rate of improvement but lost some $ if i sack him
If I dont sign him, my team rest will only cost me 7boosters (it costs 8 for 22 players right?) and I'll have a slot free so I can keep tabs on the transfer market for an 18yo GK to replace my retiring one. That way I dont have to wait until the start of next season to start looking for one

Upstate for my league match yesterday-
Was facing a team 1Q below me. Was countering 4-3W-3 with 4-3N-1-2.
My DC Ugarte got a yellow card at the 2nd min. So no hope for any red pack.
At 3rd minute, ST Perfect got injured.
My DR Arrieta scored from the resulting free kick.
Sub ST Koffi came in at the 11 the minute.
At 24th min, my AMC Migel' scored from a long solo run in a counter attack.
So we went 2-0 up.
At 41st minute, my ST Krushovski scored from long distance. SO we were up 3-0.
At 73rd minute, I subbed MC Lauridson out to get in MC Christie.
At 77th min, their MR Chisholm scored to take the score to 3-1 from 3-0.
At 90th minute, ST Krushovski scored from a counter attack to again put us in a 3-0 lead.
Scorers for us
Arrieta
Migel'
Krushovski
Krushovski

For them
Chris Holm

MOM
Artists

No assists from any team. All goals were individual efforts.
Sad, ST Perbet got injured for 11 days from a 3rd grade hamstring injury. So used 15 out of 35 reds I had to make him for as he has been performing really good. Hope to have no more injuries.

Sign him, Zangy. It costs you no tokens and you can put him up for sale immediately and make a dollar. Team rest will always cost 6 rests no matter how many players you have.

Update:
Won my league game 5-1
Then came my cup game with 5 mins remaining. Was able to happy greens and change formation.
WS countering 4-4-2 classic with 4-1-2-1-2 ND. Lost 3-0. Don't know where I went wrong. He was 3Q higher maybe thats why. Will try for a come back in the away match but that's too tough.

Team rests are 1 every 3 players, I've been paying 7 boosters for 5%, I've signed him as I got another injury after winning an offline match 3-0, now its 8 boosters.

3 1st teamers out injured now 4-5days each one :-/

My new Q10 youngster is valued at 260k, so hopefully he's a good trainer and I can get him up to saleable Q in time

Yeah the team rest you get screwed on if you don't have squad #/3 evenly (I usually have 22 players, it's 8 for "rest all")

Damn, just lost the cup game I rescheduled 0-1
His team valued at only 4-5M while mine is 8M, but he was Q17.6-8 while I'm only Q16.9
He only had 3-4 subs, but I had 3 1st teamers out and my new 4star youngster got injured after just 9mins. Out for 6days! :mad:
