I got just the one double jump again and I'm losing both of my main goal-scorers from the last season, but I'm not complaining, that just means I get to enjoy the process of bankrupting myself in the transfer market once more.

3 double jumps (gently caress you Brett) but all my oldsters died. I guess they get less important as the core team improves.

I think you have the scariest team in the league atm, also Poop FC is in a good spot to poo poo all over Serie Goon this season.

Slightly disappointed. No double jumps, though nearly every youth got a +1.

Gotta raid the nursing home again before the season starts :corsair:

Exact same boat. My defense is predictably in shambles and one of my good forwards iddn't skill up because I gave his playing time to the 17/5 youth (who didn't double). Think with relegation into the bottom league I will most likely just try to get some cash reserves saved up this season, see what the academy gives me for a youth defender, and start working back up next season after I see where the holes are this time and which olds are retiring.

A few of my youngsters are failing to develop and will have to be kicked to the curb once I pick up a few vets to shore up the staff, but honestly I'm fairly pleased overall

I feel like I'm starting to get a handle on what I need to do, the only question is "did I gently caress it up too badly already to have a shot at doing it"

New brackets for season 3:

Serie Goon


Retu Nagele A


Retu Nagele B


Mr Taupe A


Mr Taupe B


Also because I am dumb I forgot to set it to higher numbers relegated/promoted per season. I'll fix it for next season, sorry!

Edit: Fixed Mr Taupe B

Highest squad value: Carnival Flayers, followed by Old Man and the FC
Largest gain in overall value: Old Man and the FC, followed by Carnival Flayers
Most improved club Tottenhaim, followed by Grasshopper Club Zurich

And like last season I'll post this again around the 1st game to see who went up the most from transfers.

There is one team I can free up - it has been inactive over a month. I'll do so now, and you can apply to take it over.

Edit: Done now, go for it

I thought, What a nice little city, it suits me fine. It suited me fine so I started to change it.
At last, after funding the poo poo out of my Youth Academy all season hopefully I can get one of those 17/4s or 5s everyone seems to be getting to really shore up my team.

I also expected to lose that game 5-0, so, uh... I'll take it.

The 50k win bonus on that friendly was some of the best form training money I've ever spent.

And like last season I'll post this again around the 1st game to see who went up the most from transfers.

One week later, here are the current rankings:


Most valuable squad is Old Man and the FC followed by Carnival Flayers.


Since the morning after the change report, ABCDE FC is the most-improved squad followed closely by Grasshopper Club Zürich.
(I can't explain how Bromo Dragonflies lost value; he hasn't bought, sold, or sacked any players.)


The overall most improved club including the change report + this week's transfer activity is Grasshopper Club Zürich by a long shot, with ABCDE FC in second.

Most expensive transfers:
1. Desmond Tully, Grasshopper Club Zürich - 5 894 900
2. Preban Ghazakian, FC Guillotine - 3 683 900
3. Allen Berenger, Grasshopper Club Zürich - 3 440 500

Pretty sure it's just the players and it takes recent transfer market activity into account, so the estimated values will fluctuate. Squads with multiple double-jumps will see the largest increase in value, whereas a squad that improved just as well under the hood might only see a small increase.

My 20/7 midfielder, Malcolm Bean, somehow has eight goals in eight games including two today for the win

dude just cannot stop scoring


In bad news, my 20/8 is stuck in horrible form purgatory despite slamming training into him :(

drat, lost my first home game :argh:

I was initially going to go for a possession-based strategy but the S7 H7 ref and the quality of Rapner's FK specialist made me bump down my aggression and go with 5 defenders to compensate, but 5-3-2 wasn't quite the best against 4-5-1.

I love how we both got 5*s. Nice game!

I think if you had turned off pressure you would have won that one, as with 3 MFers vs my 5 using it essentially supercharged my team.
