well im bringing up all my youth for the last few games. I'm solidly in the middle of the table so I'm not moving down. I've got 5 out of 11 on the injured list or setting out card accumulations.

My team has hit the proverbial wall. I have lost most of my league games these last few weeks and am struggling to find the net in friendlies as well. I have decent players who have been productive in the past and am playing formations and positions as recommended by TMtool, but to no avail. I realize that I'm in a 4th division as a second year team, but so are most of the teams in my group. If anyone has a spare moment or two, could you look at my set-up and see if you have any suggestions?

Albuquerque Ballistas, ID# 406761

Beer Snobs clinched 4.26 on Saturday night.

Two seasons, two championship trophies. Time to be humbled in Div. 3 next season.

Good stuff, I've clinched my division as well

jeff, hard to say as I don't know exactly what lineup you fielded in our friendly the other night, but it seems like you're sort of lacking that playmaker in the midfield and another spark on offense up top. your D is solid but I don't see that you've got a good MC/OMC and you've only got one really solid scoring threat at FC. I'd say to hit the transfer market and spend some cash on one or two offensive stars to get things going.

then again, i've only been doing this for a bit so I could be totally wrong :-)

Third place finish for me. Honestly, my team probably played better than it deserved to so I can't complain. At least I can add to the trophy case. I'm probably at least 2 seasons away from fielding a team that could be considered a favorite for promotion to the ML.

Congrats to all the teams who will be promoted.

I finished in the middle of my division 4 group this season. On the to-do list: make a logo, sell off some unused players and then use the money to upgrade a few key positions.

If anyone has decent FCs, DLs or DCs they need to unload, let me know.

I'd say you're in really good shape with forwards, at least for Div. 4. McHale and Palisser are both better than anyone I have ever had.

You could use some defenders, but I can't help with that because all of my starting back line is over 30 and I need to start replacing my own.


I am selling this guy at the start of next season:

Good starting right winger; I just don't use him any more.

I've got an older but really solid DMC who's a very good DC as well:

You want to talk about old DCs? My starting and backup DC are both over 33. I have a third and a fourth DC as well but they aren't division 2 caliber. I only keep the 3rd DC around for emergency purposes and the 4th because he's 34 and it's not like I'd get anything for him if I tried to sell him. I'm definitely looking for a US DC in the NT sale but I don't think I've saved up enough money to get one.

BS, that OM looks pretty good, but I don't know if that position would be a huge priority for me.

Steven Moneypenny is a great name though (too bad he isn't English).

I lost something like my last 6 matches in a row... to play my way out of the Major League.

alright, so this kinda blows, i played a really short season in LG 6.11 as the Spariates and only lost one game in 13 games (with my best player being hurt for 7 of those games) and ended up tied for 2nd in the LG, but i think im on the outside looking in on promotions.. Can anyone give a looksie and let me know if im gonna be stuck in LG 6.11 another season?

Also, i have about 100 million in cash on hand and was wondering what the best way to improve my club with that cash... Im gonna continue upgrading Youth academy and Training facilities, but id like to see what i could do to improve my team (Im currently using a 5-3-2 attacking with not so many great Mids and several really good DML/DMR types).

You did finish third in your group, but will probably be promoted just because of the removal of banned/inactive teams.
Dre_00
How long do you want to ignore this user?
There's no probably about it...you will get promoted if you finished 3rd in division 6. There are a ton of banned/inactive teams in divisions 4 and 5.

Site is back up, but there's a bug that won't let you select a sponsor right now.

Also, the player stats and some historical match information has not been regenerated.

There's quite a few things that are still being sorted out. Two of my players sold on the 30th even though the sales were supposed to be delayed... some teams got two of my players at bargain-basement prices.

For a while I though the game developers had just taken everyone's money and escaped to Portugal (South America).
The Beer Snob
How long do you want to ignore this user?
The sponsor thing appears to be sorted out now.

I got lucky and none of my old guys decided to retire after this season. Last year I had three. I think I'm putting three players on the transfer list today. I will post them here when I do.
The Beer Snob
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Okay, I put some players on the transfer list because I need to fund stadium and facility upgrades for Div. 3 and maybe buy an MC.

All of these players have started for me at one time or another.

S. Moneypenny, 27 years (fc,omr)
ASI: 3,728
http://trophymanager.com/showprofile.php?playerid=17781337

Steven is a very good starting right winger and backup forward. I just have a lot of wingers right now and don't really need him. 56.75 Trexma.

R. Sax, 26 years (dmc)
ASI: 3,232
http://trophymanager.com/showprofile.php?playerid=17781333

Ronnie Sax has a cool name and has been a good backup/occasional starter at d-mid. My academy loves to produce D-mids, so I can afford to liquidate. 50.893 Trexma.


J. Mote, 26 years (oml)
ASI: 3,199
http://trophymanager.com/showprofile.php?playerid=17781339

Jasper Mote was a starter at left mid for most of last season on the team that won its Div. 4 group. His Trexma is only 44, but he performs a lot better than that as his stats will attest.

I have four players that announced they are retiring at the end of the season. None are particularly surprising however this just confirms that I must find at least one division 2 caliber DC by the end of the season.
jeffk
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I've listed a couple of guys on the transferlist.

Howard Miller (DR) rated @ 61.6
http://trophymanager.com/showprofile.php?playerid=16628700

C. Tamas (M/OM C) rated @ 49.6/41.7
http://trophymanager.com/showprofile.php?playerid=2568799

Fred Schneider (DC) rated @ 46.5
http://trophymanager.com/showprofile.php?playerid=16628696

There's also a young GK if anyone is interested in him.

anyone having problems getting to the site? I can't even get the update page.
The Beer Snob
How long do you want to ignore this user?
It's working just fine for me right now.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
yeah, soon after I posted, I was able to get in too.

just started with the beginning of this season. I didn't realize how much of my time was going to spent on this game.

The game looks fun. Is this one where you need to pay to make your team truly competitive?
jeffk
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Paying isn't necessary to play... I didn't the first season and a half. Now I've chosen to pay for Pro so I can scout out my opponents and better prepare. The biggest upside I saw was that it expands your shortlist and give you the transfer agent... both of which make buying players soooooo much easier.
kinto
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I signed up.

Team: Gulf Coast
ID: 647263
Country: US
League: 5. division, group 62

And now I have no idea what I'm doing. Hopefully, I can read through the site and this thread to get the basics down.
