Season 38

[dv8r]

I have normally gone for the all around quality but I have worked out that having a special ability adds a value of "+15" in the specialist areas are concerned, A penalty taker SA with 110 ability would be just as effective as a player rated 125 at taking penalties, A free-kick taker with 105 ability is as effective as a player with 120 ability without free-kicks ability when taking free-kicks.

If your opponent has a corner SA taker play Silva otherwise play Wrist.

Ah thanks, Wrist also plays as DML but when I play the butterfly, my back 3 will be Nightstand, Bogdany and Lamb, DMR will be Balbuena. So pretty much no space for Silva, he's a washed up ex-scout waiting to be sold next season lol

Same for Kompany really. They were first team players for 3 seasons, now in their 4th season they will mainly be used as a replacement for injuries. How long do you usually keep your scouts for? About 4 seasons in average, you'd say?

Non-PT'ed 4/9 scouts can last 4 seasons at my club when bought at 22 normally, I just sold Essadri (GK) after 4 seasons, he was 1 point away from 5* at the beginning of this season, If I wasn't a heavy token buyer that I have been recently I would of kept him another season as a reserve. Murphy is now my reserve GK after we brought in the one and only David Seaman.

When you say non-PTed, do you mean just naturally like a bit of training every day and playing matches?

Surprisingly, I've had Jonny Lamb since level 1. He's the default young, fast trainer you get when you start out. He has a lot of life in him, 43 rated and might make scout this season. Fabregas, Suarez, Petersen, Bogdany and Silva and Kompany, I've had since level 2. This is why I like PT, keeps my players at the club for a long time and I don't usually have to buy new players. I've only needed to buy 1 scout this season (Norris).

Yes Non-PTed = No Power Training was conducted on the player during the time at the club.

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

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.

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
