Season 75 - Are you ready?

[ponzu]

I am ready.

What have you learned from last season? So many things. That formations matter. That high Q players don't always play to their ranking (though I have not figured out why). That ST are not all they are cracked up to be. That skill gain for each player per game or training session is pre-programmed from the beginning and remains constant with corrections for skill and age (e.g., fast trainers and flops). That trainability of a player can be calculated by dividing his value by his salary (which also explained different values for players with the same Q and age). That next season's cup draw can be manipulated (to a degree and at a price).

Where did you place last season? 4th, which was huge because after 12 games I am was 8th and losing to lower Q teams. It was right around then that I learned the things above.

What's your current level? 7, also 7th season.

What's your budget for this season? I am not sure I understand the question, but my team is worth 173M and I have 23M cash, which changes quickly.

Who do you want to replace? I really hated my GK, but I replaced him on Day 3 of this season after the leagues were drawn. I have a revolving door at DMC position because I have several good lower Q players competing for the spot, but that's a good problem to have.

What are your goals for this season? To really understand how the game works, qualify for CL, reach semis in CL and Cup.
