Season 75 - Are you ready?

3 years and all that farming, no wonder you need to brag to justify all the time you spent ignoring videos.

No but I do have about 5 players with 1 year left on his contract. Shall I renew theirs? I can't explain it, I had a really good League against some really good opponents and did well. Now I'm playing against good teams in poor form and still losing leads.
I have dropped my GK as he has been really poor.

Tomorrow I play a tough Cup opponent and my confidence has taken a knock. I can't even rely on counter formations anymore. Even my right winger got a 6 today and he's never had a 6 rating before.

Here is our teams in comparison. Any advice would be appreciated.

On this screen (or the mobile App equivalent), if you have any with '?' or '1' in the highlighted column, renew their contracts.



Your opponent is playing 4-1-2-1-2 Wide Diamond, my usual counter-formation is 3N-1(DMC)-4-1(AMC)-1, starting Normal/Middle/Short/Counter, changing as circumstances go (Attack/No counter if losing, Defensive if winning). If you keep running into traffic in their defence, change to Mixed focus and/or passing to give your players more latitude.

You really are a sad bitter prick.

Well Im level 38 at the moment and I've had Foster in my team since he was 18 yr old (In fact if you click in the siggy text below this post you will see I have a thread about him) so I will take your assumption that I will have disappeared from this game within 3 seasons with the respect it deserves.

Maybe you shouldn't make so many assumptions in future.

Seriously, that's all you took from that?

Thank you. I took a lot from that which may help me in other games.

One problem, I can't use flat 4 midfield as Escobar my best player is AMR/ST.

Ah I see, 1 year on mobile equals "?" on desktop. Ok, all renewed, hopefully they repay their wages in performances. Thank you.

Wauw actually a great result without winning. The opponent was much stronger and we were even.

If you really need to play Escobar (I would in your situation), either play him as the ST or instead of the MR in the AMR position, but with a Blue (defensive) arrow so he keeps an eye on the opposition ML. If anything, it will keep the opposing manager wondering what you're up to.

I used to keep the last year contract players hanging on renewing their contracts until the 3rd day of the following season (bearing in mind that I couldn't play them in the first two Cup matches) and it didn't affect their performance. It seems that Nordeus have put in a change that now affects their performance - last year's resurgence for Casuals was the first time for quite a while I've renewed the contracts at the start of the season (as an experiment) instead of letting them hang on. This season did the same and both Casuals and Terriers are playing the same as Casuals did last season.
