Season 77 - Week 4

[Cathal123]

I've just figured out how attach photos so here's my first update!

We comfortably won our first match of the season 5-2. Gomaa and Kapun scored braces and my new signing who is 99% rated and cost just one token scored as well. We can now intensify training for the starting 11 and start a few of the back-up players in the 2nd leg as we go into tomorrow's match with a three goal cushion.






I know that this update isn't too great but this is my first time doing anything like this so they should improve. I think I'll do them every other day if possible and baring any real life responsibilities or internet problems.

Personally I usually set my bidding cap at 5 at auctions. It depends on the quality of the player though.

What have you learned from last season?

Nothing much, but trying to get my head around the new training features today and how they impact the players. Its very confusing to work out what quality your player is and what areas need to be improved on. It also seems to have taken a lot more green packs to power train my star player this season than it did last.

Where did you place last season?

League winner, Champions League Winner, Cup runner up.

What's your current level?

Now level 40

What's your budget for this season?

22.3Billion. 185 red, 1.98k blue, 1.57k green. Plenty of tokens.

Who do you want to replace?

I'm struggling to get my head around the quality changes so wont be making any new purchases as all my current players are scout quality at least. I need to work out how good/bad they are compared to the ones on sale now, so will be sticking with my current squad.

What are your goals for this season?

Promotion, preferably as champion.

What's your training level?

Level 26.

What have you learned from last season?

That making transfers before the league starts will put you with much better teams. Also that I am never going to win the cup!

Where did you place last season?

4th in League, Champions League Winner and eliminated in the 32 of the cup.

What's your current level?

Now level 8

What's your budget for this season?

65M

Who do you want to replace?

I tried the 3N-1-3W-1-2 position last season and it went better than expected but I will try to change it to a 4-5-1V style, which means that I have a LOT of transfers to do.

What are your goals for this season?

Promotion, Champions league last 4 maybe and definetely doing better on the cup.

What's your training level?

Level 20.

Foster right? He's 27 now. I'm surprised you kept up with the power training after he turned 24. Don't they slow down significantly after 24?

I cannot follow all conversations related to this. But I think I support you. As managers of teams which are poor in terms of tokens, I always know I should wisely use my tokens instead of complaining that other people have too many tokens.

Limiting no. of tokens on each auction is good and important practice. Besides, I also observe participants of some ongoing or completed auctions in order to identify some auction rich managers who are online. As token poor manager, I will avoid to compete with them in auctions.

Thing is there are many hints which will help you decide whether or not to bid against certain managers. Looking at his current squad, does he had open bids on other players of the same position, how great is his need, etc. I set token limits on players I target as desirable and stick to them, if I see 3 or more bidders round 1 i sometimes reconsider my position according to the above criteria.

For instance top value player of day 1 auction is a 18year old DC DMC with CK SA(?) 89q. I place an early bid to speculate and continue watching the lists. 10 minutes before the end of the auction i get two more bidder one of which has open bids on 7 other players. I instantly rescan the list and find a 18 yr old DC q88 that matches my need perfectly for 15 million less and sniped the auction at 1T. The other player went to 15 rounds. The only time I will say all in on a player is when I see a proven player that has 3/4 years with a club that has consistent stellar numbers that meets my needs exactly. Nordgens can be crapshoots, even after power training, I'd rather stick to the devil I know than the one I don't.

Absently dominated my cup opponent too btw.

Atlético Kolkata: LE7ELS Preview

Yes, we're again Level 7.

What I learned from last season? That tanking is good to increase the quality of your team.

Goals? Win the League (at all costs!!!) and the Cup.

Last season? 11th in league, Top 16 in CL, and added a second Cup in my cabinet.

Replacements? I'd pretty much done my shopping last season, so not much will be needed. But I want an CK-specialist ST (have only 1 ST, David), a DL/DC, and, if lucky, a DMC/MC (these are very hard to get).

Training Level? 18 (Just trained on Day 1)

I'll post the squad pics once I'm done. Good luck everyone!

Fully agree with you on this. Actually we may know a lot about the the bidder e.g. whether they like using auction or prefer nego/scout (many players 5star plus and with SA?), what the position they are in shortage, whether they prefer young or old players, whether they have a high chance to stop bidding because cash will soon be used up, etc. There may be many more. Different people may have different interpretation to the facts obtained from other bidders' team profile. But I 'm sure these information help us to determine whether we will complete with them in auctions.

[HoofDaddy]

I agree that Nordeus could ease this process by giving more information to players about other managers during bidding. But if you aren't doing yor research and preparation its all your fault.

Deserved it on second half showing, new players gelling well with two scoring on debut but striker injured on debut really?

1. I have learnt that counter attack is a deadly weapon, and you can beat anybody if you prepare mentally and tactically.
2. Currently level 3 and 6
3. Budget? Spent it already
4. Win as much as possible from there we take it up.
5. Level 17 and 18.
6. I came 5th, first time out of 1st 3 with flying eagles, while golden eaglets were 2 in league 2nd in champs league (painful though).

In other stories, the scouting department has finally discovered the best time to sign quality players with a token or 2 at most. These are 1 token players for my two teams.

Quite Low budget right? There has been no offer to acquire tokens in Nigeria since last December, I have just a referral but have been surviving with last season been the worst of all.
