5 seasons in the doldrums and we're back.
In league we had a 7th, 2nd, 13th, 14th and 4th before the restart.
We restarted last season around Day 5 or 6: out of the Cup and starting bad in CL (failed to get out the Group on Tie Break).
Won the league unbeaten but we'll ignore that for record purposes because winning by buying 5* in a 2/3* draw of abandoned teams is not exactly an achievement - and the main purpose was to explore changes before getting down to it.
Currently were 1st in the league, still in the Cup and leading the CL, although qualification in CL is no formality. Budget stands at around 100T, less than 2bn, and around 400 of each pack.
Our hopes for this season is to challenge for the treble and finish preparations to make a better challenge next season.
Congratulations to Nordeus on training changes - loving it so far. It offers a degree of customisation for those anoraks and a degree of protection for those blind tappers - who'd have thought that using Attacking drills for Goalkeepers could be so nice.
But for me the best thing about it is the enhanced condition management it offers.
The %age 'quality' system has however messed up any comparison with Q and SP in considering Star attainment since a %age system doesn't work well with a Q/SP allocation with 3&5 as base factors. The SP/Q system can't cope with these Training awards now at 1%. (I even managed to get a player 5 SP away from next 'star' achieve that next star at 100% but that is expected.)
However, if Q dissapears from the attributes then this scaling and rounding anomaly will too.
I do hope that there will be some means introduced to indicate what the exact training gains were, but its no big gripe.
Recommended players could still do with some work regarding frequency, appropriateness and price.......but proper young Scouts being available through this albeit limited route is useful.
Assistant Manager is still and always be an idiot. Not a patch on the Buffs own Otto Teem.
Steady the Buffs!
