Season 47

[festinator]

Soo... All of my defenders have scored the same amount as all my midfielders and strikers put together. I'm kinda worried about this, as my strikers aren't scoring as much as they should. My top striker is yet to get a point in 3 matches. Nevertheless we're still winning. Won our first league match 6-0, and won our CL game 2-0. Still worried about my strikers though.. 8 goals scored today and only 1 by a striker.. And it was my back up striker.

Thought this might interest some of you. It's the stats of my new player, who made his first appearance as a substitute today, and scored the winner.



Seems you can score a goal without actually playing.

So having spent 451T last season at level 9, bringing in ten new players (9 scouts and 1 off the auction), the owners of FC Halifax Town decided that they would not be investing like that again. The message was sent to the manager that even though the club possessed an arsenal of 1268 Tokens that any replacements to the squad would have to be on the cheap this season as they believed the current team was more than good enough to secure Champions League football again.

With that in mind it was decided to sharpen up the squad a bit instead of going into the Scout Market. The manager sat down this morning with Mr Scout to look at the players on offer, but was left more than unimpressed with what he had to offer. So then the manager got to work in bringing in some new faces and off loading others.

19 yr old DR player Marica of 69 quality came in at a cost of £20.1M and 5T.
20 yr old MC player Erdemir of 69 quality came in at a cost of £20.2M and 8T.
19 yr old MR player Kurdobadze of 69 quality came in at a cost of £20.2M and 4T.
19 yr old CM player Cancelo of 69 quality came in at a cost of £18.2M and 1T.
22 yr old DL player Creac'h of 69 quality came in at a cost of £14.5M and 2T.
23 yr old DR player Leudiere of 69 quality came in at a cost of £16.3M and 6T
20 year old MR player Kok of 69 quality came in at a cost of £20.2M and 2T.

The manager has expressed an interest in bringing in young players this season to replace older players in the squad, many of whom were of less quality. Of the 7 new recruits several are close to tipping over to 70 quality.

To make room for the 7 new recruits the manager agreed to move 7 players on.

28 yr old DR player Ngalie of 68 quality left for a fee of £13.2M
24 yr old MC player Teague of 67 quality left for a fee of £14.5M
22 yr old MR player Capraz of 66 quality left for a fee of £14.2M
28 yr old CM player Sutchuin of 69 quality left for a fee of £16.1M
29 yr old DR player Adeola Helgesen of 69 quality left for a fee of £13.4M
25 yr old MR player Medina of 68 quality left for a fee of £15M
27 yr old ML player Erbate of 67 quality left for a fee of £13.3M

Having spent 28 Tokens bringing in these new 7 players the manager was delighted that by agreeing to watch some video's he could recoup some of those Tokens. 21 Tokens were earned doing this meaning todays transfer spurge has currently cost the club 7 Tokens and a spending deficit of around 30M.

The manager has informed his directors that he is now content with his team, having got 19 players who were of 69 quality at worse, with the best players at 71. The manager was even more pleased with getting a lot of youngsters in to the team in replacement of older slower players.

Before he concluded transfers for today, he did fire a warning shot to 24 year old ML player Harab of 67 quality, 24 yr old GK player Mussoungui of 67 quality and 25 yr old DC player Toogood of 68 quality that their futures at FC Halifax Town were coming to an end. The manager has stressed he is happy to keep all 3 players for the remainder of the season as back up to the first team and none will depart unless he finds a really good young player in their position at 69 quality.

The manager is very happy that at the end of the day he is only 7 Tokens out of pocket having vastly improved his squad. Losing around 30M on transfer fees is of no concern as FC Halifax Town are not short of money. The 55M given to the club for prizes from last season has covered this shortfall and also allowed FC Halifax to secure 6 players who were in the last year of their contract on longer ones. Compared to last seasons loss of 451 Tokens on Transfer opening day its been a good days business.

The manager and his directors have agreed that the scouts that Mr Scout brought to the managers attention today really were not worth pursuing and taking into consideration last seasons huge scout buying it was quickly decided to abandon going for more scouts. Currently with an arsenal of 1261 Tokens and a squad the management are happy with the aim this season is to try and farm to at least 1500 Tokens by the start of next season - this will remain the same even if the manager decides to replace the three players he has given notice to today. The manager is clear in the fact that no real life money will be spent on the game yet again (he will never spend real money) - and that all Tokens must be got from farming videos and surveys like before.

Bring on level 10. Promotion to level 11 in 27 days time is expected with Champions League qualification the minimum expectation. The manager is expecting his side to challenge for the title, but won't make any bold statements about getting it until he sees if he is up against Token buyers or not. The manager will not go for scouts in a bid to out gun any other stronger side and will be content to finish in the top 4 if needs be.

48 hours on from this and the manager finally lost patience with the three players he warned to improve or get out of Halifax.

Harab was sold for £15.4M, being replaced with another Left Midfielder, in the shape of 20 yr old Asensio who was 69 quality, costing £19.1M
Mussoungui was sold for around £15M, being replaced with a fantastic prospect, 18 yr old GK Steve Gordon, costing 30.1M, who after his first training session grew to 70 quality.
It was decided that there was just no point in keeping hold of Toogood as cover in his position was plenty and he was too weak. He was thus sold for 16.5M even though no replacement had been brought in. If a player with duel DR/DC who is really good and young, then the manager may go for him.

To make things even better for the manager he found that new recruit Kurdobadze also grew to 70 quality this morning.

Currently FC Halifax Town have 21 players in their team - all with a minimum quality of 69, with only 4 players 23 years or older (the oldest being 27). The last space will be taken by a very young DR/DC (if 2 good ones come up them the 27 yr old, who is also a DR/DC will be sold) if one comes up soon. Until then two academy players are due in the next day or so, so the Token one will depart while the other one will briefly sign for Halifax before being sold straight away.

There was a failed bid to bring in a goalkeeper prior to Gordon, where 15 Tokens were lost. Gordon cost another dozen or so, while Asensio was picked up for only 3 Tokens. The manager estimated the failed first goal keeper, and the two new signings has cost him approximately 30 Tokens, but due to farming like mad he has a current Token total of 1291 currently, 30 Tokens better off than he was before starting to bring players in at the start of the season.

LONDON CITY (100.1) v (96.6) RIZAL LIV FC

London 2-1 Rizal

We made a stuttering start to the league campaign but ran out winners in the end. New signing, Kazuyuki Yasuda grabbed a late winner, after coming on as a substitute with 20 minutes left. Our visitors made a blistering start, and we fell one behind in the very first minute, but Calvin Charlton fortunately managed to fire us level before the break.

Transfer News:
I bought a 5* (59Q) MC Dribbler for 8 million dollars after bidding 3Ts. He is just 3 skill points away from 6* but he is 30 yo, so may take time.His previous stats show that he has played one match this season so far and has an assist in it and a rating of 8!!!!!!!!
Hope he performs well!!!!!
I needed 1 good MC this season, and I got 2!!!!!!! Now will look out for an AMC/AMR and that should be it.

[Saransh Vatsa]

Won the 1st group stage CL MATCH 1-0. I am not quite impressed with my teams performance as they were 6Q below me. First half was very boring. Their GK was amazing as he made 5 saves and got 9 rating. My new MC Gancho scored!!!!!! So now he has 1 goal and 1 assist in 2 matches and an avg rating of 7!!!!! I think I have struck up on a good MC. TOUCH WOOD. Hope my newest one, the dribbler MC to performs and makes a partnership with Gancho!!!!!!

[Saransh Vatsa]

OLSINA SOLD FOR 5.16 MILION!!!!!!!!
His M.V was just 4.2 million and so was selling for his highest value about 4 million dollars. I guess there was a small bidding war on him. Maybe 6-8 rounds and so his price went up. Anyways, I profit!!!
