Nephzinho posted:Yeah, problem is its people who are still on 4-5 who just seem parked there for 2 games now. Yeah, having a similar issue with a few of my youths. Also, I thought youths picked up mid-season were supposed to get accelerated DV, but it doesn't feel like the case? Nephzinho posted:I tried a few and just came up with poo poo form every time. They're not worth training, i'm just riding them into the ground for the rest of the season. Same, I basically picked up some old fogeys that are just there to teach the young ones. Next season, I'm gonna send them away to the old folks home and get some new golden oldies. If I can get some good youths trained for a young core, then I'll be splashing cash on some solid players. Hard to do much when literally no person on your initial team was salvageable.

That's annoying, had a youth on +7 DV, rested them for a game and they go down to +6 DV. Not what is needed at this stage of the season. All off the back of an 8 chances to 0 away thrashing of the top team in the division, should have played the bloody kid.

2 games left! Pretty much every player on my team over the age of 20:  At least my youth are doing OK, most will end the season at +5 or +6 which I guess is decent but not great. The rest of the squad should probably start updating their resumes.

bees everywhere posted:2 games left! I'd say anything below 5 isn't great, anything over 6 is outstanding, so you're right where you need to be. Getting over 6 really does come down to have optimal age for your teammates, optimal age for your opponents, never leaving the pitch, and having good form the entire season. What day is the change report again // what day do we throw out form training to hit after the CR?

My DV is gonna be so awful after this season. Think I just got used to playing in official leagues that only do 1 league game a week so you can always get in a full training session between matches. The Pigs player form is all over the map in our league. This also mean some players I just bought this year will go right out the door in the offseason cause bad DV takes them way behind the curve. Good luck last 2 games all, watch your steps in the shower room!

If I'm reading this stuff correctly then the season ends next Saturday 4/3 so the change report comes out the following night or Monday morning. So then the best time to train would probably be between Wednesday night and Friday. Think I'm just going to do it Friday.

Looks like Retu Nagele A is going down to the last day! Almost wanted Old Man to beat me so it would essentially come down to a play-off game but an Old Man win still allows Nerds of Prey to sneak in with a last day victory. On another note how long is the inter-season break? The transfer market opens this Sunday according to the countdown timer.

My form was amazing for the weekend, and a 1-0 loss to Guillotine has absolutely devastated pretty much every player on my team's form and re-injured my good defender who had finally climbed their form out of the toilet. Oof.

ah, the fun of a child goalkeeper if I wasn't just playing all my kids at this point that would have been a very disappointing draw. Dominate the match for 75 mins, give up 2 chances and both score The good news is that two of my 18/5s have a +7 DV!

Hello Old Man and the FC, I would like to donate these bags of Werther's Originals towards your win bonus, TY. (I think it's too late for me anyway, I would need to beat Swap FC and their roster has made some significant improvements since the last time I played them.)

Gotta say Ephex I was not expecting you to roll out the 5-4-1 Very Defensive bus parking tactics on your own grounds. Maybe next time we play someone will get a shot on goal! Last game will be the all youth hug fest with Yee.

If anybody would like to experience the thrills of having a newly-created team in a newly-created league, I just spotted this league starting up. The NFL theme is a little odd but at least you get to feel the rush of having a team of broken idiots once again. vv Your team is almost as bad as mine was.

Fukkin complacent form-making GBS threads youth keeper just won't go above a +3 DV for the life of him. Overall I'm relatively happy with my semi-tank season, with a decent CR and a couple of cheap soccer savant pensioners next season I should have enough to build on.

Just read that you get a cash prize for finishing in the top 3, makes that last second gazumping of Old Man and the FC on goal difference all the more sweet! Think I'm going to have to trash a couple of my youth players though, and last seasons top scorer. It's a brutal game. Wanna see them CR reports.

Yup, they hand out a lot of party favors at end of season for various things. It'll drop at the change report but payouts for RNA should be: 1 300 000: ABCDE FC (Division winners, Manager of the round x1, Top scorer award) 850 000: Nerds of Prey (Division runner-up, Manager of the round x2, Most points award) 650 000: Carnival Flayers (Division third place, Manager of the round x3, Most assists award) 650 000: Old Man and the FC (Manager of the round x3, MVP award) 200 000: AC Dadbod (Manager of the round x4) 50 000: FC Squarts (Manager of the round x1) e: The league's biggest payout will go to Norfolk-in-Chance, who on top of winning swept the Serie Goon player awards and will pocket 2.3 mil
