My new strategy is to not spend any money on training and just buy a 10+ skill player every week. We can train later.

Shadowlz posted:Just played this cup match. I managed a 0-0 draw and I red injured his best forward. He is active so I imagine he isn't too happy about it. I did buy a 33/10 moody 1on1 GK that played at 14 too so the 2 chances he got were blocked. Lmao, that is insane and really funny. This isn't quite as good but a couple weeks ago I took over a division 2 team in the official league and it was just before the last game of the season. My team had been idle the entire season using the same "wing plays, tighten the wings" default tactic and I was about to face the team tied for 1st place. He had a solid lead in goal differential so I'm sure he was 100% confident about winning promotion. I didn't really care and just wanted to get a little bit of DV for the neglected youth ahead of the change report so I went 4-4-2 with mostly youth players and a 50k win bonus, but for shits and giggles I also switched to "through plays, tighten the center". It ended up being a 1-1 draw which was enough to drop him to 2nd, putting him in a playoff spot that he ended up losing out on.

How are you still investing in veterans. How do you have any money. e; My team may not be good, but my DV and form are in good shape. I'm just looking ahead to the back to back matches against Sheds and fearing for what my form is going to look like going into the latter half of the season. May just preemptively do some training to land after the second game.. It is like watching a train come towards you and its picking up steam instead of trying to stop.

My team is basically either extremely old veterans or young babies. My young bucks are all at 0 or better DV already, so that's a positive. anyone between the ages of 21-28 is not allowed

Unbeknowest to everyone else, I just bought an actual goalkeeper instead of always fielding a random teenager I found on the street! Speaking of which, anyone remember what DV you tend to need for a feasible double jump?

If you're at like [x.4] its pretty easy to show a double jump to [x+1.6] with the way bars round. Having said that, go for as high as possible. Latter half of the season I'm trying to keep everyone somewhat even, outside of the one or two youths who magically are 2-3 points ahead of everyone and have great form and you're just going for the moonshot.

+6 and up. Supposedly it goes to +10 but diminishing returns are so sharp I've never seen it, last season in another team I had a youth hit +9 in round one of the playoffs but his average form dragged him back down to 8 as the run went on (he double jumped anyways.)

Whole lotta bus parking going on in my matches. Still winning matches, but I lost my nice goal lead and top spot on the board. Also I chickened out and took off a playmaker that didn't help.

On the bright side, your next 2 games are against me and my best defender will be injured for both of them. I was winning my game against ABCDE FC until the injury happened and then they just obliterated me since I only had a 19/5 on the bench. (Also, kudos for tightening your wings.)

My away match against the Sheds went about as well as expected, though Masonity was kind enough to let me score one and feel like I had a chance.
