    Thanks to all returning Managers!
    Why thank you George!

    Before we start, here's some questions for you:

    What have you learned from last season?
    A lot, too much to type in this post, but the basics involve learning a lot about counter formations, and how to manipulate the cup draw etc. Shout out to the forum members. You guys are great to get information from

    Where did you place last season?
    Won the league and Champions League. Knocked out in the QF of the cup (Was level 11 in a level 14 cup..)

    What's your current level?
    Level 12 this season! ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY! It hasn't been the smoothest of relationships, with heated arguments and even domestic violence at times, but our mutual love for each other has gotten us this far so far!

    What's your budget for this season?
    Roughly 40 tokens on nordgens (Ended up bombing the auctions and missing out big time), 350 Mil cash and a mixture of greens and blues. No reds since I got hit with 6 5 day+ injuries in the last 2 days of last season that cost me big time.

    Who do you want to replace?
    Since I tried to manipulate my squad for a good cup draw I ended up ditching a lot of possible formations so my list is very long. Need a new DR and backup DR. A backup DC/DL. Need a back up DMC with a possible DMR/DML and a backup MC. Need a new ML/AML (vital) and MR and a new backup ST. So pretty much everything

    What are your goals for this season?
    Last season was suppose to be the treble run, but I just fell short. So definitely going for that again. My veteran DC captain Cass hit 250 caps near the end of last season and now at the ripe age of 24 he is struggling to keep up 6* each season, so this will be his last. Because of this it is vital I send him off as the first Blackkiwi captain to raise the treble!

    Good luck to everybody this Season!

    You too! I definitely need it
    "One day, in the not too distant future, something amazing will happen. Not just amazing, but spectacular!
    And when this day happens, I will retire, and the world will celebrate long into the night" - Blackkiwi Manager speaking about his elusive Triple.

    Ohh, and in the worst possible market time (fingers crossed)

    Now my question, did it work for you? (the draw that is) I would also like to hear is you won enough players to set your team

    Palace Terriers overcome a 1st Leg deficit to register their first progression in the Cup. Must get used to the fact that there are more injuries (Jones 6 days, Powell 4) at this level because of the basic pitch... 18yo wonderkid Ben Atkins came on as Sub, scored 1 goal and snaffled MoM from under the nose of Xabier Moran (1 goal, 2 assists).

    Match Gain is not a great way to determine sp gain since the 187 includes the MoM award and gain is subject to involvement and condition used. training numbers are better....... but his estimated Market Value at 5* should put him quite close.
