Season 65

[Gert Funck]

What have I learned?

Learned nothing this morning but it did remind me why I hate early morning Day1.

" War! Hoo! What is it good for......."

*runs around pannicking after looking at squad of 11 + 3 Stooges.*

PS. My now 33 yo Left Winger.......btw did I mention his age, he's 33 you know....picked up MoM in Cup game this morning. Can I not apply for a special extension? .....for this 33 yo oldie who used to be 32 >.<

He's between 32 and 34 now you know.

T11 should sell Cake.

Talking of Cake, or celebration, still waiting for my 1st Old School achievement. Must be 1 year real time since I started 8/4/14. *drums fingers*

What have you learned from last season?

To never give up when you think you have no chance of winning the League. I was sitting in 8th after a few games but changed my squad around, invested in decent players by doing as much research as I can and then *poof*, I've won the League with one game to go.

Buy loads of 5 star players on day 27 & 28 of the season as I have 7 days to sign them. They will go down to 4 stars for a week but by the time I have sold my other players I can sign these and they will go up to the bottom end of 5 stars, which is sufficient for me to win a league or place 2nd.

Where did you place last season?

League - 1st
Champions League - Semi Final (Again...)
Cup - Prelim round (for the 2nd season in a row...unsure why as I have had better ratings that the opponents just don't seem to strike it lucky.

What's your current level?

Level 8

What's your budget for this season?

I sit with £6.05m, 37T, 2 REDS, 0 BLUES, 147 GREENS. Signing 35T contract every ten days, farming as much as I can without giving away money or personal info and signing a daily sponsorship contract to get £200k per/day. Always pay a win bonus in the CL and a small incentive in difficult games for League and Cup - so will lose some in investment there.

Who do you want to replace?

Well I'm not looking to replace anyone. I have a few slow trainers but they are 4*Q with 54 points, so will star up in the next 7 games that they play and will last me the season I suspect. Will extend contract to re-sell at the 1st day of next season to get the best price, unless I get carried away.

I am actually looking at my 5/6 really fast trainers and training them upto 5Q and then training them into SA this season. Will be using some of my green packs to achieve this as stockpiled for a little while but I want a few of my players to last 2-3 seasons.

What are your goals for this season?

1. Finish top 4 of the league
2. Get a top scorer or top assist player
3. Train at least 2 players into their SA
4. Get past the Prelim. round of the cup
5. If I get to the final of the CL, to actually win this time as I have reached it twice and lost marginally both times.
6. Stockpile tokens again, so I get in excess if 100 for the end of the season.
7. Don't pay a penny to achieve my goals. MONEY SPENT SO FAR = £0.

Ive decided that will continue with ma tanking plan LOL

So no transfers, still in L18... Too much work despite "if I do something" I can win the Cup one day before ma birthday XD

Brought 8 players in for a cost of 899M so far.

3 of them off the negotiation list where I paid more cash and tokens than off the market, but for players that are in the position I need, with youth on their side. The other 5 are all one cone away from 6 star too.

Sold 4 players so far for a return of 314M. Got a further 8 players up for sale, with two already gone when their auction ends.

When all 8 of the players I have on sale have gone I will need a bit of extra defensive cover, so looking out for a DL/DC player or two and a reserve keeper (Not bothered about carrying that player unless one that is one cone away from 6 star who is 18 or 19 is on the list)

I'm currently 41 Tokens worse off than this time yesterday having brought those players in - mainly due to the three negotiation transfers. Happy with that outlay, as even though farming is all but dead I can easily recover 41 Tokens within the next week or so to justify the splurge. If I can bring in the extra defensive cover for less than another 9 tokens I will be very pleased. I've revamped my entire team for less tokens than it would cost to bring in ONE decent scout (who would still be older than ALL my new signings) To me, that represents fantastic value.

Just now a case of waiting to sell my not needed players and adding the new ones to my squad. Hopefully I can get close to the cash spent on transfers with those Im selling so cash wise it wouldn't have cost me either.

Though he does not replace anyone in the partnership, Rhondda Rovers made a striker purchase in the market to replace the ageing Phil Sampson (who is currently on the market and already has two bids):



Thought I'd have a punt as he was worth 3M and managed to get him for about 2.5M-2.6M and 1T. He's also not far off Q29.

All I really need to consider now is an ML and MC and my main transfer business is completed.

I love the name! I wonder if he's 2m tall.

..a Cup match happened..



I sold Ivan Ivanov end of the season so I'd have a slot for Youth, and I got a FA but am still trying to sell freebie GK.

Need to think about replacing wingers.



Since no CL, my goal is to win League, and get past the Cup prelims.

Just checked and he isn't actually far off (192cm).

3 out of the 4 strikers of my L13 team are out for 2 days from now. T11 notices that I do not want to use the red packs and try to force me to do so.

As a MC is also injured and another MC is just a 1* academy player, available front court players are very limited for the Cup match tomorrow. My team trailed by 1-3. I don't feel the situation is extremely bad until these injuries arrived.

The match tomorrow will start soon after beginning of Day 2. T11 even wants to consume my very limited green packs if I decide to heal my players with 1 day left.

I will replace the 2 MC with unsigned players. I will also search for at least 1 replacement striker but there is still no suitable target.

Sorry I cannot find the vent thread and don't like to start a separate thread.

Finally, for the Cup match today, I spent 5 red packs to heal one 5* ST, sold a 4* ST and replace with a new 5* ST. These ensured I have 3 ST for the match. These moves were also reasonable for the progress of the team.

During the match, my team conceded further 1 goal but eventually win by 3-1 in 90min to take match to ET. However, my team was finally defeated during ET.
