I'm getting into a tough spot. My next opponent, Yee Valley has made some big moves on the transfer market, making a win for me dicier, at the same time everyone's bet on me in the pool. Should I throw the game, bet against myself, and go for a second pool win? This game has some difficult strategy to consider.

Just kick his rear end bro. You scared of one 36/11 old fart defender? His transfers could have rolled in with poo poo form. Just pick good tactics you got this.

Hello Yee Valley here.

You have definitely got me beaten: one high rated defender isn't going to swing it with the beating you put out in fixture 1. I'll be doing what I can to stop it (and the above poster is right in that they may have come in with bad form: I have no idea what bad form actually is number wise!) but I think betting on yourself is safe.

Or throw it. I'd love the 3 points.

4 form = 1 skill point essentially. So if your s11 came in with f4 but his s8 has f16, they are roughly equivalent on the field.

Just played this cup match. I managed a 0-0 draw and I red injured his best forward. He is active so I imagine he isn't too happy about it. I did buy a 33/10 moody 1on1 GK that played at 14 too so the 2 chances he got were blocked.

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 :shrug:

I was able to kick Sheds of Grey's rear end once, can I do it again?

Doubtful. The only reason he lost that was because he went offensive with 5-2-3. 5-2-3 is a poo poo formation, the only formation worse is 4-2-4.

One of my youths was on +1 after playing 7out of 8 games (one missed through suspension) so gently caress that guy he's dead to me now. Hopefully I'll be able to recoup 100k or something pathetic on him next week.

I guess it's the hidden cost of youths. Spend millions on them season after season but one here or there will suddenly die.

My best youth, Stewart the Bowman, really let me down this season. The rest of the team's looking alright.
