Masonity posted:Hey, I even gave you a 20 minute headstart before we started playing! My midfield and forwards are starting to find themselves and will be a thing in a season or two, but my defense is basically going to have to go back to square one. My one vet has terrible form and my youth are just unremarkable.

Same here, all of my vet defenders are at -9 DV since their form has been poo poo since they got here, like between 0 and 3, and since they're not worth the training fee I've just been using the crappy starting players instead. This is gonna be a weird change report at the end of the season.

I'm just going to see how bad the change report is and am letting form stay in the bin until the new year and kind of commit to what i'm building then.

Oh my god are we doing this again? There is not nearly enough poo poo talking in this thread. Do you have inactives or should I apply with a new team?

If you want to make Destrado inactive and give me his I'd be okay with that also, he 100% cheats so I bet he has good players already.

So far each series has about 3 teams doing well and then the goal differentials just fall off a cliff for the fourth team. I think only Retu Nagele C has a softer gradient.

Yep, this is a placement series and when we do the reshuffle at the end of the season it should place people into better skill matches. This is a problem with starting with all new teams - the game has no data with which to rank each team into seeds. All they have is which players got lucky with valuable players but that isn't everything. There are players with team value in the bottom third still in #1/#2 in their leagues.

Then you have Wanderers with the highest squad value sitting 2mil above the 2nd highest but in dead last for the entire league with a whooping 1 point. What players are even giving him his value? Really a lot comes down to the manager at this point. There isn't any reason some people have such junk squads still. Seems like the bottom 50% didn't really even sack their entire team like the top 50%. Then some teams did sack their entire team but did some weird transfers like The Numpties whose team consists of 70% 17 year olds

I just re-applied in case it let me just slide into one, but still says all teams taken, just a heads up. It's been too long since I was the admin of the league, I don't remember how it works exactly. Destrado posted:You could not handle the raw power of our star midfielder, the true successor to Mr Taupe. Look at those SQs! Taupe was a monster that shall never be recreated again in our lifetimes. Chursin wishes he was Taupe. Actually, I'd take another Taupe over a new Nagele. Nagale? Whatever. How do I still remember these names?

My tactic of throwing a couple of expensive old men into the lineup as soon as I took over the side seems to have paid off (until they all retire in a few weeks).

The perfect result for a team dedicated to mediocrity and building young people! My formation decisions have boiled down to "how many children can I shove into this game while keeping the average age as 25" I probably should have gone more offensive but both times I've done that well...

drat, I want to give him a chance purely because that face goes so well with that name but it's so late in season and he just isn't very good, free kick specialist or not. Maybe I should keep him on the bench and he can be my mascot.

Keep him on the bench but give him no trains or game time. Let him decay to 0 skill. Trot him out in a few years only for games where you need to show your foes the ultimate in contempt, by bringing out the gimp.

Took over a team in a CL private league that was pretty badly managed, last season blowing 4.1m in win bonuses to finish fourth out of six; I flipped half the roster to get the teamwork under control and got them to a runner-up playoff berth on 1.05. Speaking of mismanaged, I'm not sure why I thought a 3-4-3 made of nineteen year-olds was going to work.
