WEEKLY UPDATE 2

Hi guys!

Made a bit of a mistake thinking the new season would start tomorrow and not today so I wasn't able to dump as many pictures I would have wanted too (thanks for the heads-up though Niko).

The season ended on a high note though after the HFF team -- which was dead last when I took over it after 12 games -- took over the lead of its division after winning against the previous leader in the final game. This resulted in both accounts being victorious in their divisions.

The Al FC had a real heart-beaker in the Cup. This account had developed really well and had an avg of 107 per cent, but we faced a tough Russian opponent from div 2 that was a few percent stronger. We tied him in the first leg 2-2. In the second leg I thought I had a plan to expose his DL-DC-DR defensive line, but my star striker Ivkovic was hurt after 3 minutes and I had to make due with a defensive roster and he took the lead 2-0. In the 87' minute his DC was however sent off and we could make it 2-1 on the ensuing PS and 2-2 just the minute later. Going into over time I thought I would win it right away since he didn't have a DC and played only with a DL and DR. No matter how hard I pressed forward I could however not score despite several chances and we lost quite clearly on the PS. Was a real good shot at winning the double that was lost. This is a screen dump from today:



The value of both teams developed really well. I had goood pictures from the Al FC account, this paint-job showis the development from 11 July to 23 July (yesterday):


The first player we bought with Tokens, the right wing-back Gomis, isn't showing but he ended up as a 7 star player too, and the Al FC team was almost too dominant at the end of the season...

After getting hooked up at these forums we found a tremendous association (Manchester United SKG) for both our accounts with great members that are really fun to play together with. I really recommend those not being in an active association to shop hard for one, it really improves the experience of the game!

The main guide is a work in progress but a first version of it is now launched in post 1. It took a lot more time than I expected but I hope it is of some help to new players! I will add new info and rewrite it a bit when I get more time. Right now I am preparing to deal with all new issues for a season 2 player in a separate post that I will try to make during this week. There is a lot of new stuff for a beginner going into the frist new season. I had saved up a lot of tokens and money with the HFF account and could jump on a 99% 18 y/o striker that was on the market really early this morning. Al FC need at least 2 new players, a DL and a DC. But, I am not sure if the current time is best for to go bargain hunting in the market. I will cover all these issues in my next post!

And thanks everyone for your very kind replies, likes and PMs, this place/community is the best!
