CUP FOR SCOUT BUYERS: Bit of a moan i'm afraid. Thinking i'm building a decent squad without buying scout players every new season i'm pitted in the cup against teams that are full of scout players. Needless to say i'm out of the cup before the league season has even started. Now each to their own but surely there is enough teams to keep scout buyers seperate from teams that are in my view doing it the proper way. The Champions League is a more fairer competition so come on top eleven, give us a bit of a chance in the cup please. I will carry on and try for my 7th league title in 8 without 'buying the title' with scout players. Anyone else feel the same, would love to hear your views on this.
Quite unusual and weird formation - yes. But at least you won. What was the agg.score and did he have a 5* or what? But I aggre that the ENGINE seem to make it difficult for you sometimes, but at the end you end up winning or get a trophy at least. It adds tension. :p
Just take a look at my two games against Žižkov. In the 1th leg we dominated and scored 4 goals to 1. In the 2nd leg we dominated but managed to score just 1 goal to none, 3 injuries and 7 cards was delt. Despite the fact that we both played the same formations as in the first meeting.
Next time when facing this kind of "odd" formations, just go with a simple 4-4-2 or 4-5-1 to overule him and gain possesion. The more possesion, the more goal scoring opportunities.
Your idea is good, but how could you define who is a scout buyer and who isn't? Take myself for instance. I ended last season with 14 scouts in my squad, but I had only bought 1. The rest were bought as 5* players from the transfer list, and had been trained up to reach scout level. Should I have been penalised and thrown into a scout buyer only, because of this?
Anyone gonna wait around for the next 4 hours to see the new league set-up and schedules?
me :P
Obviously i'm not as experienced as yourself in this but i think you generally know who they are when every player is gold star or more. I finished last season with 3 scout level players through playing and training but are now back to average, my opponents tonight were 1 and 2 gold star players right through even though he was only level 6.
So our new guy Zenzizenzike gets a goal on his debut.. He had several shots too and his free kick was saved. I think this player could turn out to be a star signing at the end of the season...
Good to see that, Pietropaolo got his first goal and his first full start for July Fourth, he is gonna have to score regularly to be worth taking over from Papaleo who is now losing the battle against time.
Imagine if Pietropaolo scored goals like he does on the other game I play on.

I want him to stay forever, shame he can't :(
He's slowly losing his place in the team it seems, lost out to Zenzizenzike in free kicks and you'd have to think he might be off spot kick duties too. But he will keep taking corners until he leaves.
I know there is no such thing as a like for like replacement, but when Petersen is close to retirement would you buy a young 18 year-old AMC or AMR, train him the other position to make him AMC/AMR and give him corner kicks and name him Chano Petersen (Jr.) in his honour?
Yeah I probably will. I might follow what you do for legendary players. He could be the son of Petersen (even though it's impossible lol) or a younger brother who came through the ranks.
But the thing is, Petersen never has a bad game... even if he does, he always gets between a 7-9 rating. He's that kind of player, not just performing well against the weaker teams but scores in the big games too. As for my other players, they will get a 6 or 5 if they have a **** game, but not Petersen. That's why he's so amazing as a player... So I think there might be some hidden variable for players that makes them really good or really crap or average
Bidded on a player then had to reload due to crappy server. Lost 6 tokens.
League odds:
Who will we be drawn with?
Any previous league opponent: 4/6
Forum user: 13/10
At least one scout buyer: 2/1
Power trainer: 3/1
Simy FC: 9/1
Clastresmorcourt: 9/1
Leveller FC league: 11/1
Easy league (all inactive like last season: 25/1
Yeah I think T11 allows this sort of thing to happen with its customisation of player stats and player names etc, It may cost you about 300T to get another 7* Corner-Kick AMC/AMR raised initially, but since with an 18 year-old, it will be worth it in the long run, I think one day I will get another Alex Zidane when I feel I'm ready, But one player I will miss when he is gone this time next season, will be Kevin Mensah, our legendary free-kick taker, former 8* player, Just wish I had that little bit more T left to get him to 9* when he was in his prime. One player I probably won't forget... But its a new generation now and I'm hoping that these new signings can fill the gaps in and live up to the expectation of the club. Papaleo won't leave for over 2 seasons AND I get the right candidate player to take over.
Went out of the cup but at least it seemed to be against a good manager so it wasn't like an inactive higher level team. It must really suck money wise for these higher level managers to max their win bonuses against lower level teams like mine since even I loose money if I do.
Draw 3-3 away and lost 0-2 at home though basicly all stats favoured me during the match. He scored on a free kick and on a PK.
Really pleased with my team build so far this season. Don't really need to train them anymore and they all have good SAs for their positions.
Oh christ I.... lol
Think a good bet would be for 25T each Simy FC and Clastresmorcourt.
Who will be in my league...
erster FC Puma 1/100
Team over 110 quality (scout buyer) 6/4
Team over 115 quality (6 star average) 8/1
Any Previous Opponent EVS
Any Team in my Current CL draw 9/4

Unbeatable FC 12/1
Batigo United 14/1
League of Death 33/1
2-2 at home, out of the cup in the preliminary round again. new striker with 2 assists.
League's are up, nice and early, as far as I can see just the 1 contender this season!
My new league is littered with oddball teams with strange formations, there's one team with only 2 players out ... how is that? :/
LEAGUE IS UP :rolleyes:
I can see my league opponents!
League is pretty simple... A bit tougher than last season but still relatively easy.
Just had a look through the teams, seems about 2 others active, one of them is a contact, who added me during league 1 - might delete him in case he starts arranging friendlies. - the rest look abandoned, and there's bots too. At level 3 I expected a lot more actives. Bit pee'd off that I'm thrown into a mess of a league. There's a team in there named c**t united, lol. And without the stars ... how they got away with that one?
Ah well. Got revenge in my home leg of the first cup game. I was 2-1 down going in, won tonight 4-1, without any injuries. Nice.
We got a quite "challenging" league draw this season. Are 5 - 6 teams around Q45 - 47 (mostly 5* and a couple of 6*) and we are facing one of them tomorrow. Will be tough but I hope we will make it.
Will publish a report + PT results by tomorrow evening. Time to http://www.myemoticons.com/emoticons...n/sleeping.gif now :)
There's always an FC Barcelona with a crappy badge which is supposed to look like a Barca badge...
Quite an easy League but the guy who finished 5th in his league last season and beat me in the champions league is in it.
OMG, I'm going to enjoy spanking him home and away. Too bad he wont be able to defend his title.
Will be a walk in the park this season. The top half from last season is in this years without my biggest competitor and then they have added a bunch of what looks like inactive teams. Will probably end up drawing one or two games. At level 10 now and had expected a little bit better.
Bummer. Well, I'll use the time until then to build a cracking squad.
Apart from a Q38 team who "might" have it easy as us, all the others are just lv4 level. Q from 29 to 32. I'd say let's try the 26-0-0 aswell.
CL looks easy as well but there is one team who might be at level with New Team (he's Q48 currently) and couple others which might improve. Fun is that would us or him end up second place in group, we'd face right in the last 16.
So I have the qualities of the teams and the place they finished last season

I've been thrown in with 9 level 13 teams, plus 4 other level 12. On quick reflection, the other 4 level 12 teams are the only weaker sides than myself. Going to be a very hard season.
Hey! What gives. I've in with 9 higher level teams, yet Pto Alcudia are in a lower level 12 league.
My champ league group doesn't look very tough either ... but then, you never know with cups.
I almost forgot my poor 2nd team. Doing one on the side with 0 tokens, just wanted to have one to dip into and mess about with when there's nowt going on with my main account. The league for that side is more interesting at level 2. Started them up near end of last season, so didn't really get them going.
