I'd love to, but sadly, my quota is full and I'm trying to hold off on spending money on things like VIP until I finish paying all the bills from my wedding. Rapner will, I am sure, become awesome even without my help.

Is there some kind of mercy rule implemented? I scored 8 goals in the first 30 minutes against Geoff FC and then both teams literally did nothing except auto-subs for the remaining time.

So, I've never made a league before, but this one gave me a team worth 2.5mil total. Pretty amazing. Also, it looks like I'm going to stay in Serious Business for another season, but I'm liking the Numpties vs. Dragon Fruits showdown in SB A. Should make for a dramatic finish.

I've just re-registered and applied for the league. I may have gone for the last spot with Team Buttes. /edit - deleted that application, and tried to take over Team Rocket. Oodles fucked around with this message at 21:44 on Jul 31, 2014 |

Well then. Granted, it was against a team whose manager isn't showing up, but... well, when your opponent has 0 chances all game, and when one forward - not even your best forward - has four goals and two assists... it's been a good game. (edit: and that poor bastard didn't even get into the Xpert Eleven that's just sad) Holy poo poo that goal differential in Retu D... it's gonna change over the final two games, which are both against fine teams, but... drat that's a good feeling, 57 goals for versus 1 against.

It's near the end of the season, right? I think training this sunday would be a waste because any form gains you get would be before the change report. Any funds for training should be saved for end-of-season-to-next training. Unless I'm sorely mistaken.

Any funds for training should be saved for end-of-season-to-next training. Almost correct from memory. The change report fucks with your form trends, so you want a single friendly and then a few trains to restore them to positive or neutral. I'll confirm when I'm not on mobile.

Regarding the previous post, I think this is what I was referring to: http://xperteleven-guide.blogspot.com.au/2014/01/preparing-for-new-season.html When I got my 17/5 midfielder from my training academy, I was going to write some press about him dabbling with the dark arts to become better at soccer. Then this showed up: quote:After long drawn out but unsuccessful treatment to heal a bad knee the player Jonatan Carlton decided to seek help from a notorious witch doctor in the nearby village who told the player to drink a special potion that tasted just as bad as it looked. Despite the player's previous scepticism towards this form of medicine the cure proved to work and the knee healed. The player's form is improved. I think the game is trying to tell me something.

So, so nervous about the last match of the season. The Dukes of Hazards just scored twice as many goals on us as had been scored by anyone else all season and we still managed to - somehow - eke out a victory; if I can pull out a win next game that's a 16-0 season. I am trying not to listen to the little voice in my head telling me I'm utterly doomed. That was a hell of a match, Followthatfish!

Oodles posted:Just took over Team Rocket and got pumped 5-1. The one goal was an own goal. Don't sweat a crushing defeat like that your first match in. Your squad is a pretty mixed bag, and you were going against a pretty dominant FC Terror Shark side. I think if you pick up some new youth once the transfer market opens up, though, you could whip that team into shape pretty quickly.

You were put in the worst possible situation by having that be your first game. My team should definitely be in a higher league. You'll definitely do better in the upcoming games.

Have to admit, I expected more from the Dragon Fruits in our title decider today. It was a winner takes all game but to be honest it looks a lot like they threw the match. They played careful on a 6 harshness ref, and didn't plan for my formation even though I always play the same formation. They didn't mark a playmaker, and played 433 away from home but without long balls. The game was a cakewalk for me which I am surprised about. I only wish I'd known this beforehand so I could have saved some cash on the win bonus. Oh well, we are champions, Serie Goon here come the mighty Numpties!

Transfer window opens in about 73 hours. Feel free to start your huge end-of-season training program whenever, gentlemen. Final game is approaching and I'm destined to finished mid-table, so here's hoping I can eke out a little more DV on a few of my stragglers.

I dropped a million win bonuses on my biggest games and got blown out of the park twice  I'll admit versus Hardflip at home I got cute and he decided to pull out 5 midfield for the first time in forever Also last game next Thursday. Good luck to everyone! Feel free to start discussing league/format changes, though I'm probably gonna keep it to the same format and open it up to some new teams. Length feels right.

Rapner posted:How about a cup? We should have enough teams. We just had a cup last season and it was something of a disaster for everyone that didn't finish strong - if you get knocked out of the cup in the first round you're down to one game a month for ages and ages and it's frankly dull. A lot of players lost a lot of motivation to keep playing thanks to that Cup, more's the pity.

I was hoping it'd be more like being in cups in LLM Football Manager, where you end up playing 3 games a week and your players legs fall off.

From what I've read, 24 hours after the season end date on the league screen. As it says 2014-08-10 then I'd think it'd come out at 2014-08-11 00:00:00.

Finished in second, but as long as it stays three down Space Alert will finally be in SB! I got good DV in every player except one youth defender I forgot to put in often enough. Should be a good change report overall, but too bad about that one.

Vando posted:Power Isaksson sneak into a promotion spot just in time to become Power Mosesson for their Serie Goon campaign Going 3-4-3 with only three forwards on my squad was a risky decision, and losing my best forward in the second minute to be replaced with a mediocre midfielder kinda hosed me for that match. It was a fun experiment, though. I need to find another striker so I can break out the 4-2-4 sometime. On the plus side, everyone who's not ancient on my team reached at least 15 DV, with a few 17s, so the CR should be great again. Good luck in Serie Goon!

Hopefully next season some more people will sign up so my division will have a more teams with managers than without. I'd rather get pummeled week after week by managers in Retu Nagele D who are actually there than walk over leaderless teams. edit: ok there's five managers in the division for 9 teams but still!!
