Season 64

[cookizzz]

What have you learned from last season?
* With careful financial control and good luck for getting a free agent for selling, the team can be strengthened and profitable at Level 19 without investment or token farming.
* Early Day 1 observation 1: A Cup match can be arranged during the Season Day 1 server maintenance time. I have no chance to adjust formation or attend the match
* Early Day 1 observation 2: My players’ conditions are supposed to be similar today (within 5 condition points). As I check this on day 1, I found that the conditions of the players including those who were not involved in the match, largely varies.

Added on Day 3
* I always know, but now really feel that 22-24 years old players' training efficiency can be dropped dramatically in new season.

* Finally noticed that I may have 1 or 2 videos to watch daily to earn tokens.
* At Level 20, financial health may still be controlled at this moment. But transfer market become more & more difficult. I am considering to sign the next token academy player for long term use.

Who do you want to replace?
L12 – As usual, gradually replacing 4* players with 5* players. Preferred a MC first because there are only 3 in roster. Also need to re-sign 3 players on day 2 to get 3 year contract.
L20 – Right winger and right defender. There are only 2 right flank players in roster.

Added on Day 3
L12 - Similar to last season, at this level, the transfer market is not too difficult even on day 1 & 2. We brought 12 new players with about 20 tokens through auctions. This is far ahead of my original schedule.

L20 - The transfer market is difficult. After trying hard to solve problem of shortage of right flank players, I got a right winger. Now I am patient again. But we have already spent 10 tokens. The team now have full squad including one academy young player for sale. As the team has already eliminated in Cup, it will downsize a little bit

L12 - The transfer market is not difficult at right time. Even though I like my squad at season beginning, I was tempted to increase trading activities. The team have already brought & sold at least 28 players respectively (including 9 free agents that I never plan to keep) with about 40+ tokens (including those for failed auctions). Only 6 original players from last season is still staying. For the first time, I have a team with average age of 20. Now no position urgently require upgrading. But a 18-year-old expensive winger is pending to sign. I plan to sell a striker or a winger 3 days later (when academy players will also arrive) to get a player space.

L20 - The transfer market is difficult. The team have brought 10 players and sold 11 players (including 2 academy players & 2 free agents for resale) with about 40+ tokens. Also no urgent upgrade needed. All remaining 4* players are in good form or young. Probably, a 4* MC is next to be upgrade.

What are your goals for this season?
L12
* As usual, winning league & CL. It is becoming more & more difficult. The team has similar relative quality in terms of stars as last seasons. But the players are older.
L20
* financial control is main objective.
* Early goal is top 4 in leauge. Adjusting according to the leaguemates.
* For CL, top 8 will be satisfactory. For Cup, compete as far as possible but not lose too much cash

Added on Day 3
L12
* No change.
* As of early day 3, 3 teams including my teams are the strongest.

L20
* No change.
* I am excited that keen competition is expected in league. At early day 3, other than 3 stronger teams and 2 weaker teams, the qualities of the teams including mine are quite close.

Status after day 13
L12
* Now 2nd in league, 4 points behind the leader. My team gradually have become the highest in average quality & the youngest in this league. I have confident to win the league (unless any win will be taken away again by Nordeus when server crash.)
* CL - Not too good in performance but still advanced to playoff
* Cup - At top 16. Leading by away goal.

L20
* Now 3rd in league. The league is interesting. Qualities & performances of many teams are close. The top 2 teams have about 4 to 5 average quality advantage.
* Advanced to playoff
* was eliminated.
