Season 38

[July Fourth]

Cup, 2nd round - FC alemanu (L8, 47.1) 2-0 Perfect Tactics (L5, 46.9) (1-1)

FC Alemanu win 3-1 on aggregate

Fabregas had a chance to put us 1-0 up in the first minute, Petersen's cross was met by the Spaniard but he couldn't divert his header into the goal. A costly miss resulted in Alemanu taking the lead after Pisha was put through on goal, squaring it to Johannson for 1-0. We were trying to find a goal but we just couldn't get past their defence. We had several corners headed clear and on occasions the goalkeeper was on hand to pluck the ball out of the air. But it was Alemanu who got the 2nd goal, Saa raced clear of the defence and passing to Johannson for his 2nd goal. It was a poor game for us and we didn't show the attacking flare that we usually play with.

Goals: Johannson (9', 65')
MOTM: Snead

Yeah... Screw this new cup, I had as much chance as the previous format. Opponent bought 5* players which I saw as 8*... My 6* players had no chance of stopping them

Well at least you gave it your best shot...

What's plan at end season buy a few 3* 5/0 players to lower your average a little?

I guess that's what I have to do.. I also have the noob 2* player from youth so I'll probably sign him to lower my quality by a lot

I logged in to Troll City to look at your team with the correct star ratings as Troll City are L5 as well, and its hard to see who exactly to offload from the 22 man squad to lower the quality temporary, Your 2nd GK Raouf, Trophobia DC/DMC look the obvious to be sold to get a 3*30 in for a night over maintenance, Maybe Javier Pina maybe in his last season at Perfect Tactics too. Other than that, your struggling to make room since everyone else is good enough for next season already.

I'm getting rid of Trophobia, Pina, Raouf, Affidudin, Dandaliver, Kyder, Fabregas and Law. Ig I get 30 quality players with that, my average will be about 5*43.0.. degraded to a 4*43.0 next season. I guess it could work out but it means I have to buy more players next season. Might even get rid of Nighstand and Wrist, they will be bench players at best next season...

But also, think about how many other people will be doing what we're doing. Active managers who do this will have a lot of tokens to buy extra players to lower the average... There's no getting out of it lol

If you're going to do the same, which players will be dropped for you? It's only going to be worth it if you're able to lower your average by at least 5 points

Obviously we are going to watch the transfer market on Day 27 evening and Day 28. I'd get CL final (If were in it first) before going to the tranny market to sign these horrible players for a day or 2, don't tell me we are going to get ridiculous bidding overs over these players on the last day for goodness sake, I don't mind laying out 10T to sign 3 or 4 3*85 players just to be sold again on day 1 of the new season, I have another use for these youth players I have, it helps out a lot on squad rotation when I'm playing these friendlies like I did again today, I played 5 friendlies, got no injuries this time... and these 2 youths played the full 90 of all 5 games, so it means only 9 squad players or sub players had to start and also make a sub to get the green booster in the second half.

Players I will probably offload... Killerich (decent trainer but he will slow next season as he will be 22)
Murphy 2nd GK, be easy enough to sign any 5* GK for second choice for next season. he would be 30 next season.
Vasko DC/DMC will go he is 5*97 now and not gaining because he is still out injured. 26 next season.
Crawford could go. So could even R.McNamara, P.McNamara, Rocastle and Savage.
I'd like to keep most but it seems like a lot of tokens will of been burned here.

But the definates are Killerich, Vasko and Murphy.

If enough people are thinking in the same way then yes, maybe people will try to get those bargains before the end of the season and there could be 1 or 2 bidding wars.

It's a shame we have to resort to this I don't feel like doing it because it's not something I do but in order to win the cup, I may have to

Well... lets face it next season. It's a choice of being L6 against L7/L8 when you buy these 30 quality players or its L6 against L8/L9 if you leave it as it is. the problem with the cup at the lower levels, most of the inactive teams will end up in the easy cups.
