Thanks to all returning Managers!
and a big Welcome to all the new Managers!
Before we start, here's some questions for you:
What have you learned from last season?
Same old, same old...
Where did you place last season?
Desert Rats FC were League Champions, exited in the Quarter-Finals of the Champions league, and lost in the Final of the Cup.
Home Guard FC were also League Champions, and also lost in the Final of the Cup. As a level 1 team, they weren't in the Champions League.
Are you participating in the new Association's Cup ?
Desert Rats are in an Association, Home Guard are not.
What are your achievements ?
Desert Rats' Association won all four tournaments last season.
What's your current level?
Desert Rats start their 16th season at Level 9, Home Guard are in their second season and are in Level 2.
What's your budget for this season?
Desert Rats have about 65T and $198M to play with, Home Guard 84T and $2.87M
Who do you want to replace?
Both teams have a long shopping list - the changes will be detailed in future posts.
What are your goals for this season?
Not sure what's going to happen this season as the teams are low on Quality. Aim for CL places, and get as far in the knockout competitions as possible.
What's your training level?
Desert Rats are Level 34, Home Guard at Level 19.
Which will be your main formation?
Whatever counters the oppositionDefault 4-5-1V but that appears to be losing its effectiveness as other managers use new and more complex formations.
Having gone out in previous seasons at the QF stage of the Champions League to higher-quality opposition, the Management have a couple of ideas for defensive/counter formations to try out against mega-Quality sides.
Good luck to everybody this Season!
