Haven't you seen Red Dawn? Don't you remember the American Revolution? That's what I'm setting out to do. Also I noticed in the CL final stream that the Scottish Sharpshooter's PA was at 4.5 stars versus the 4 stars in the Depth chart screenshots at the beginning of the season. Obviously you can raise CA, but how do you raise PA? Or was I just misreading the star ratings in that stream? One more thing, you already have avg CA/PA for EPL teams, but can you do one for the top 10 or 15 richest European teams? I'd like to know how we stack up against PSG and Madrid when we take them on in the Champions League. Dreamsicle fucked around with this message at 00:04 on Aug 19, 2014 |

Star ratings are an iffy metric to measure by, really. As far as I understand it, they're based on the average rating of your squad - and by your assman's judging ability. So if you have a squad full of CA 200 players, a PA 150 isn't going to rate very highly. In FM13 (at least before the first patch) you could change the star rating significantly just by moving other players to your youth team. In short, star ratings will fluctuate depending on the composition of your team.

Well the problem is, Wrexham's first team has been getting stronger so if anything his star rating PA should have been going down.

Ghostwoods. I liked his ad more than Dreamsicle's, and clearly it's my job as a director to find appealing media for the television-consuming public Soccer strategy? What's that?

Dreamsicle posted:Well the problem is, Wrexham's first team has been getting stronger so if anything his star rating PA should have been going down. It could be something as minor as the few points players tend to lose in the off-season, a drop in a relevant, highly weighted stat of one point can be enough to drop in evaluation. Also, the potential star rating is based on a theoretical idea of how his attributes are distributed. In pure numbers terms, if he has 40 points left on his card and they're distributed evenly, he won't become as good as he would be were they distributed to key stats. This is also why you'll find CA 130 players doing a lot better job in their given role than CA150 players. There's not much need for a fast winger to go from 16 to 20 heading. Sure, he'd increase his CA by X points - not much since the attributes are weighted - but it'd be a waste of potential. So I'm guessing that the potential evaluation is based on a somewhat even distribution of remaining attributes. And scouts, assmans and coaches are idiots as far as evaluating players anyway. They're pretty much only good for spotting injury prone liabilities or negative personality traits. e: that was a lovely explanation, sorry. My point was: If he's gained a few points in highly relevant stats for his position, it might be enough to increase the potential evaluation.

Also, we're rapidly going to reach the point where the real challenge is seeing if we can go undefeated in a season. We didn't make any huge additions to the club and I accidentally let the Bastard go and yet it's mid-December and we've lost 1 match. Well, 2 matches. * or, at least, the man who wears him like a glove...

Ghostwoods posted:Sure, I know Dreamsicle is Mr. (or Ms.) Charm Offensive. Which is great. But this is just a friendly reminder that I'm the candidate Scott Brown himself* supports! Yes, Scott Brown is a wonderful manager. And no one has more respect for what he has achieved alongside our previous chairmen than I. But he needs a strong partner at the head of the boardroom table, an equal; not a yes-man that he can trample or someone who's simply a figurehead for AJ_Impy (Dreamsicle, I'm looking at you!) We narrowly avoided the corrupt empire of the Shadowing-family. Now is not the time for another family dynasty in the boardroom. What Brown needs - what the club needs - is someone who's not afraid to say no when it's in the best interest of the club, someone who's completely incorruptible. A man from a country that for years now has been rated among the two least corrupt countries on Earth by Transparency International: A Great Dane. (Munin, I've got your name on those vip boxes like you asked for).

Dean, to discredit me as a puppet of someone with as little vision as AJ is insulting. He has promised us and delivered A Champions League title and A Premier League title but notice how they are all singular. One title is not enough. When I am done here, I want Wrexham to be the undisputed, undefeated champions of all of football. I want annual septuples and I want annual undefeated seasons. But most of all, I want those megabastards, especially those run by rich oligarchs who wallow in the muck of their own avarice to be destroyed! While AJ was merely content on having Arse relegated, it just simply isn't enough. City, United, Chelsea, Real Madrid, PSG are going to burn like Rome in 64 and Liverpool and that amateur operation Scamowing has in Southampion will stay burning. Wrexham never needed an owner's fat pocket to guide us to glory and that's what makes us different and better than all those megabastards. And when the last megabastard goes down, only then will I consider football to be, saved. OOC: This speech is probably going to look really stupid if it already isn't, if Wrexham gets bought out while I'm president. And yes getting names wrong of my opponents is going to be part of my gimmick.

Dreamsicle itself claims to not be a figurehead for you, in fact, it even disavows you somewhat, but you back it fully and claim that it practically is. If this campaign of yours is an indication of how you will run the club, we're in for a messy old time.

Oh, I have, as I've stated on multiple occasions, nothing but respect for your accomplishments. I just have my doubts about my fellow candidate and his ability to run a club of Wrexhams size when he's clearly having problems with running something as relatively minor as a campaign. But as they say, Mundus vult decipi, ergo decipiatur.

Who among us was the one who led us to the Promised Land of the Premier League? Everything that was accomplished in your reign had the foundations laid in mine. Would AJ_Impy have led us to the Premiership while we wallowed in League One, sitting there in his office, nursing dreams of revenge against Arsenal for imagined slights? I think not! Wrexham would still be in the League, with teams of such glory as York and Scunthorpe and Tackleford. For those who point to my... issues with Southampton, I will remind you that no matter how much money you have, you need the right managers and pieces, and that there is still only one Scott Brown. And it was I who gave him my trust and let him lead Wrexham to glory.

Ski Scamowing, if you weren't too idiotic to read my last speech you would have known that you betrayed the Wrexhamholics by using your illegal goods to try and make a megabastard for an opponent. You didn't try to get Southampton powerful through victory, but through money and for that I'm putting you on the hitlist. When the Y2D era arrives every megabastard, especially oligarch backed ones will burn and football will never, never, EVER, BE THE SAME A-GAIN.

While neither candidate is ideal (for one thing, they're nowhere near Danish enough), I have to go with Ghostwoods. There's just too much stench of institutional corruption hanging around Dreamsicle. Plus, he's even worse at names than Joe Kinnear.

While keepy-uppy with a severed head does have appeal, I'm sure, it is clear how the momentum is breaking. 1 more vote for Dreamsicle, and if he doesn't crack the Community Shield over Patrick Pattison's head at the end-of-season FA banquet, he will have let down goons everywhere.
