Season 79 - Are you ready?

[Dman2pt]

Not a bad start with a 2-2 result away, my AMC Guerrero was MOM with 2 goals scored. My New GK had a bad rating, lets see If he improves.
Both teams are very similar in quality, so anything can happen.

Meanwhile i sold my reserve MR, only 1 star at this moment, and my free academy player, that i got in the last days of last season.
So i am schearching for a MR, but since i have a player with AMR position, and 3 players with ML position, i am good for now.

Day 2 - Palace Casuals Cup report.

Don't know why the Management stayed at the match after the first minute, as he could predict the eventual outcome after that... Aggregate 1-5.

sarted my season with a win 5-0 (H) in cup competition , Sounds a very good start especially that we are equal quality

I have a question about Scout players,,do they really worth these Tokens? I need a player with multi positions and I only find him at Scout and Negotiations .

Should I buy him from scout or wait until I find same in market? and are they fast trainers in Scout?

Generally, the players on the scout's are inferior, not in terms of how do they look in terms of quality but in terms of what special abilities they have, what positions they have and how well do they perform relative to their displayed qualities. About the speed of training, they are slow and very slow trainers. Also, some perform well in the first season, but perform badly in the next season. What if you buy one and he turns out to be a poor performer despite the very good looking stars and special ability? This is the risk. I have bought 3 players from the scouts' list in the past, an AML/AMC/AMR (24 years old, corner specialist, 54T), an ST (22 years old, one-on-one scorer) and a GK (23 years old, one-on-one stopper). The AML/AMC/AMR was good, the ST was decent and the GK was bad (in fact, very bad relative to his displayed quality). So, lets say the probability of getting a good performing player from the scout's list is 35-60%. The range is large, isn't it? So, that is a big risk.


Suppose that the player turns out to be a good player, is it worth the cost? This is subjective. If you can afford a lot of tokens or you can farm a lot of tokens, then why not? But if you have a limited budget, don't use the scout's list. You can buy a lot of players from the auction market with 39-69T; you can build a whole team (22 players) of 5 star players with that amount of tokens provided that you have the required amount of virtual money. The key is to avoid bidding wars and also to find the appropriate times to bid in the auction market.

Best is to wait some more, but say after one week or so, if you can't find the player you want, then use the scout's list, recommendations' list or negociations' list. The top recommended player, according to some feedback received here has been very good (except for the case of GKs). Also, recommended players don't cost you the market value of the player. I bought the AML/AMC/AMR from the scout's list due to shortage of appropriate wingers in the auction market at that time. It turned out to be a good player, and is surely among the best players I ever had so far.

All that being said, suppose that I have 100 tokens right now, will I buy a player from the scout's list. No, and not even if I desperately need a player having particular positions, unless maybe in the case where I have a very important match in say 10 minutes and I have no GK for use. With 100T I can build at least 1 (or even 2) good team(s) of 22 players capable of challenging for the League, the C.L and even the Cup.

I'd recommend the recommended players. They value for every token spent. My ST, David, was bought for just 18T and had 34 goals and 11 assists in 38 games. A legend in freekicks, true to his namesake

Won the first cup match yesterday 7-0 Neymar scored a hat trick already,with the age 28 I'm surprised he is still doing well, early to say. The cup draw was OK and CHL a bit complicated as I get some old rivals that made my team life harder before, will be some good challenges. Waiting for league draw to start buy players.

The season started good and bad. My main team lost his away match with 2-0 in the cup against an equal team. Yikes. I just brought out the green packs and now have 5 scout players again. Lets hope it helps. My second team won his home match with 4-1 but that away goal is always scary with Nordeus

Only bought two players so far. Lost one bidding for a good striker after 15 rounds and a hickup in the internet, grmblll. But also bought a good defender on the transfer list. Finally my first buy on the transfer list. Woohoo. Do I loose the tokens that you have to pay upfront (10 tokens)?
