Season 59

[Pete Cresswell]

What have you learned from last season?
Always check your orders match your formation - not changing orders after tweaking my formation helped cost me the league win, and the CL final
Opting not to add skill points after round 20 may also have cost me (though no-one else in my league was either) - but it meant I started the seasn with 350 skill points to assign, with associated cup-draw benefits!

And seeing the highest quality team in the league throw a tantie and tanking after I beat him in round 11 is quite satisfying (in round 22 he played a striker in goal, all other players out of position, and a ST-ST-AML-AMC-AMC-AMR-ML-MR super-attack formation). It would have been more satisfying had I beaten the (then) 8th ranked team in round 23 rather than getting trolled & drawing, because then the high quality team would have failed to tank!

Where did you place last season?
2nd League, 2nd CL, Out CUP top 16

What's your current level?
Level 11, season 11.

What's your budget for this season?
$120m, 180 tokens - currently I'm managing to farm ~ 120 tokens a season without much effort, meaning I can afford 2 or 3 scouts a season

Who do you want to replace?
Have already bought 3 good scouts (2 79 qual, 1 78, all 22yo) - MC, DMC/DC & AML/ML/DML. All but 2 of my remaining players are 5*, with those 2 being on qual 69. I do have 4 players out of contract at the end of the season, current plan is to re-sign 2 next season, and to keep an eye out for good 5*s in the market during the season to replace the other 2 (one may be sold after round 12 when I next get academy players to create space to sign & sell)

What are your goals for this season?
Win the league (assuming I don't draw the uber-toker buyer who was unstoppable 2 seasons ago), win the CL, and go as far as possible in the Cup (I lost away 2-1 yesterday though, as the oppo's 3* GK made 5 saves (granted, so did my 6*GK)

Nice little surprise won cup match 4-1 against better team

well done John, im not complaining because ive reached 3rd and Qf in last two seasons BUT this SA thing is a joke lol, i Drew 1-1 both legs and ET in 2nd leg and really fancied the Penalty shoot-out cos i had two MC Pen sa,s and two good strikers on the field, my opponent had none and i lost 4-2 on Pens lol, special abilities phfff lol

@Pete Cresswell
I'd suggest you to farm green packs instead of tokens and get nordgens instead of scouts
It will pay off for sure

I have 280 greens currently anyway. I haven't seen a Nordgen in my markets in 3 seasons, as I refuse to set a 4.30am alarm in the UK to go looking for them.

Hmm, i'm on gmt+1 and i have no problems with finding nordgens, maybe that is caused by server...
i'm now level 12 on server4, buyed nordgens in last few season without problems
this season market wasn't filled with that good players, but i still managed to find sth good for my team

I usually manange to do well buying higher levels' academy players, but Nordgens just don't pop up after 6am in the UK on my server. I was originally only going to buy 2 scouts this season, but my scout list was remarkably good (last season it was terrible), in positions where I needed to reinforce.

For sure mate I am thinking of not bothering with SA in future

[Buffs Mad]

Just watched a fiends match v the bag bad wolf. It made some of the commentary a hoot.
