I'm like you I like to keep a squad with the same players for a lot of seasons rather than rinse and clean the squad every season, If you can keep some players for a long time it adds to some realism of the game. I'm planning of doing the 'One Club Man' scenario with Miku.

I bought a 18 year old striker from the auction that was close to scout rating with Penalty Kick specialist in L2 and I used Personal Trainer twice (Ouch 800 tokens,but all earned from videos then.) to keep the player at 6* or low end 7* during the players time mostly at the club and was sold as a 3*73 at the beginning of L13. I didn't discover the idea of power training until midway L12, I came up with the thought 'would it be better to buy green packs and just train the hell out of players?

I'm going to do the one-man club thing with Petersen as well. I'm keeping him when he's 1* and he's almost ready to retire, then I will play a testimonial with someone. He'll be like Giggs, might even score when he's 1* lol

LOL, an Anonymous watching his cup match.

I found it hard, so I supported the away scout buyer. And the away side won 3-1.

I would probably think he may finish higher than a 1* player depending on development, what is he now? 25 years and 7*. Papaleo will stay at my club for sometime but I think Zidane may get sold in a few seasons.

I had some random guy support me in my cup match lol. I think I'm the only level 5 in the cup and he took pity on me, my opponent was a level 8 and I owned his ass. I don't think I'll win the whole thing but it will be amazing if I did

lol... Those formations look stupid to play. Too many players pushed forward and leaving lots of space behind in the midfield area.

He's 25 and 7*, about 60 something SP to the next star

You got to keep Papaleo, he's becoming a legend at your club

Yeah, and nobody reacts on the tactics of the opponent.

Taking a look at the other 1st round schedules I found AA (from my last league season). He adjusts his tactics way better than the upper scout buyers, but had very bad luck last season. He finished second behind me, and he also got runners-up in CL and cup. :( I remember in RL similar happened to Leverkusen in 2002. The club lost an almost save championship to Dortmund, lost in the CL final vs. Real Madrid and the cup vs. Schalke. Their player Michael Ballack even managed to loose the World Cup final with Germany, too. And afairc he even managed to get booked for all finals. :eek:
Leverkusen fought the following season vs. relegation (with stars like Ballack, Lucio -> Bayern gone). AA took the drawbacks much better and managed to qualify for the 2nd round. Good spirit. :)

This season is the last season where you can still effectively push him for power training, I'd love to see what a 9* Petersen would look like or do.

If only.. But I couldn't push him to do any more when he was 8*, he was unbelievably slow. About 8/17/26 gain on average on hard training and usually 30-37 for a full match

Be interesting to see how he does against tougher opponents this season, his goal count will probably drop and I'll eventually be taking him off FK duties soon, maybe in 2 seasons time

I think you should try a proper FK taker SA player, you will end up finding the score more goals, Benayoun in my lower level seasons and It's Mensah now that scores all these free-kicks.
