Yeah, create the teams from a dummy account to get the numbers correct but then immediately deactivate them. Might be worth promoting the league more aggressively mid-season if we have a sizeable set of 'reserve' teams for people to take over, too.

In cased anyone missed it, the new season starts tomorrow, so be sure to set your tactics. It looks like we're at 9 per division across the board, too, so no more long off-season for an unlucky few. Good luck all!

I lost my first game I really love play Xpert Eleven but I'm so busy at the moment that I'm not paying my comrades the attention they deserve.

Sorry it was after the first game. VelociBacon posted:Best time to train still Sunday (in game)? I personally train right after a game if my team needs it. That ensures that they'll be ready for the game after the next. DivineCoffeeBinge posted:Whoooo eked out my first-ever Serious Business win! Grats! Also I won a big match against Camoes at the exchange of having my tough/cheating forward blow up in flames. I suspect he had it coming to him.

Wow, I won outright my first game against another manager who had not abandoned his team for several months. Feels good man. I bought some match reports so I could guess his formation correctly and pick the right player to tightly mark, and getting those both right let me crush them in spite of inferior teamwork and overall skill values.

Just bought a 20/9 forward for about 11 mil. I feel both good and bad about this. A backup goalie might have been smarter, but he was so tempting. Tell me how I should feel and what I actually should have done with my dear Unicorn Power. Counting down to getting soaped and the player not getting a skill increase at the end of the season.

Not sure why anyone would waste money on a backup GK. If they get injured, buy one off the transfer market for a game or two for not much money.

My first season in Serious Business is shaping up to be a 'desperately trying to avoid relegation' season already. Still, I'm pretty pleased with it - this time there are actual consequences for botching a season instead of just 'welp, I can look forward to the CR I guess' like so many other seasons have been for me.

Not to just to have him as a backup. Then again I had a similar plan last season too. I ended up wasting a million on a 17/4 I couldn't give enough games as I fought relegation. At least I can't get relegated any further now.

How bad a trait is fragile on midfielders? I've got a couple of fragile defenders who don't seem to have suffered too badly from it, but I don't know if that's just RNG being nice to me.

Fragile is the worst trait and you should be ready to replace them.

That's annoying. I didn't realise it was that bad, it never seems to have affected my defenders at all.

Yeah, that's the other reason it's annoying. If he didn't have fragile I'd potentially make some money on the transfer market, but then if he didn't have fragile I'd keep him. Think I'm going to keep him anyway.

The risk is double that of a normal player when it comes to getting injured. A quick look at at few of my teams in different leagues say a player with the injury trait get injured about every 9-13 games they play. If you have a broad squad I feel it's no problem at all, but if you don't it might be risky. Buying players I'd normally stay clear, but it does bring down the price. Don't build your team around him and you should be fine imho. Uzh fucked around with this message at 19:10 on Sep 7, 2014 |

Fragile is actually tactically useful. Fragile increases the risk and length of injury for that specific player. It doesn't increase the chances overall for the team to suffer more injuries. Essentially, they are an injury magnet that protects your quality players.

So here comes the fall from grace, picked up early points against the smaller sides but now rightfully getting smashed by the better teams. Another DV season for me! Oh and I lost my keeper in the 38th minute and a midfielder only conceded twice, could've been a lot worse!

Eh I wouldn't say that, you've got a far better team than mine on paper. I'm not crazy about your playing a 5-3-2, it seems to leave you vulnerable to upsets. I think a strong midfield with pressure on is the way to go. Either way, I'm not sure it really matters this season. Barring a big upset, Crimemakers is going to be very hard to contest for the title. ---------- Shep's press posted:
