A little bit of history about the year 1986...

This year was played the XIIIth edition of the World Cup, with Mexico as a organizer country for 2nd time in it's history.

This edition is one of the most known, because Maradona scored his most famous goal in the QF round against England, the goal called "the hand of god" and thank's to this goal Argentina won 2-1 and converted Diego Armando Maradona in one of the best players of our history after win the final for a 3-2 against the Germany that had Franz Beckenbauer as coach and Rummenigge, that scored in the final as a player..

The top scorer of this World Cup was Gary Lineker, from England with 6 goals, Maradona scored 5 as the Spanish Emilio Butragueño and the Brazilian Careca.

Not sure yet, have to figure out what's working and not working.

And...

Who will be part of your eleven of confidance this season?
Mostly the same players as last season, w/ the opportunity for a couple players to break into the new starting lineup

Will you do some sort of experiment?
Nope. I'm pretty by the book, I have a system and stick to it. I don't always use the same tactic or orders, but there is a general belief about what works, and I don't deter from that plan.

How's your strategy for the Auctions? Play it safe? Go all out in Bidding war tossing more than 50T?
I'm not real active on auction usually. I usually keep my players for several seasons, so turnover is low. When bidding I target players based upon height and dominant foot. I don't care about quality, since I can use rests to change the quality, but can't change the dominant foot or height of a player.

Powerhouse or Underdog?
108.5% to start the new season. So fairly strong.

Oh, really? Does dominant foot affects anything? Let me know?

Vaguely remember someone saying the dominant foot was only cosmetic (this was something i wondered as well)

What have you learned from last season?
League draw system is really funny... Two seasons ago I had a really weak league, just three other teams a bit competitive, others were below 50%. Last season the drawing algorythm wanted to compensate, so, starting the season with 88% quality, I got into league where two had already over 100%, others had over 90%, others were same as my team, just one was weak.

Where did you place last season?
League 9., Cup 1st round, CHL semifinal

Are you participating in the new Association's Cup ?
yes

What are your achievements ?
Still never finished 4th in tournament, currently in division Gold 3.

What's your current level?
22

What's your budget for this season?
1.66B, 35T (+193 I currently have)

Who do you want to replace?
4* players

What are your goals for this season?
Take a rest and win the league..

What's your training level?
62


Season 86 - Are you ready?

Well, I thought I was ready, but today Nordeus told me I'm not... Last season I was really unlucky. Second day of the season I learned that it will again not be the treble season, as I was finished in the Cup. In the league almost all of my games were tight, but I won only a few, so in the last week I decided to tank the remaining games, finish outside promotion, stay on same level with strong team and prepare for the treble attack next season. I finished 9th, fine, misson complete. But, today I see I'm one level higher! Promoted from 9th place, no CL or Super League, no chance to build a strong team for next season treble attack...

Exactly my plight last season....Nik said it, but teams were too weak. So I got promoted from 9th and had a horrible season even though I was second in league.
