QUESTION:

I'm looking at at my formation page. I just changed it right before this game to test something new out (I lost 2-0 to a team lesser than mine) so I went back and wanted to change it.

But, on the left where it has those 4 bar graphs (wing, attack, etc), my wing bar is lit up white. Does that mean the wings are on fire or something? Whats going on? I had that once with a def. bar but I messed with the formation and effed it up.


Thanks for all your help thus far.

Different formations have stronger attack/midfield/defense due to the configuration. A formation with 5 on the backline will have a much higher defense by default so the bar will be higher. a 4-2-4 will have a lower midfield due to less players there to help control.

Since you are so new to the game, I would suggest using one of the tools to suggest a formation that suits your players. Check the ratings for the formation and if you aren't comfortable pick one that runs best for your own style.

I was running a 3-2-3-2 last season and having a lot of success in Div 5. But with much better strikers in my div4 group I had to abandon it for a more defensive set of 4-4-2 Dia. Until I upgrade my goalie position, I can't produce enough goals to cover what I was letting in in the 3-2-3-2.

Anyone have idea about goalie coach?
I've got a guy that's 11 Mot and 20 for goalie, which equals 96% for goalie coach

I have an option to buy this guy:
18 Mot and 17 goalie

Anyone know what he would be as a goalie coach?
Thanks

I saw on page 8 someone posted other manager games online and how he rates them.

Heres a boxing game I used to play for a long time. Might start again actually.

http://www.vivi.com/

Id rate it 4.5/5 stars. Very fun. You create boxers and then create game plans for every situation. Check out the opponents previous fights and move up to becoming a champion. Its very hard and requires a good amount smarts to actually get up there.

QUESTION about potential
Does potential mean how good a player can be when fully developed or how much he can develop from where he is now.

For example, if a player has very low stats (~4-5 for everything) and a scouted potential of (18) does that mean he can improve and sometime be a good player (~9-11) or he has the potential to become a player with some stats (~18)?

Thanks

The dream is over for South Belt Football Club. First loss tonight in 14 games, and a bad one to a Division 2 team that is looking at promotion. Oh well, good run, lets finish up the season strong and hope for promotion to 3.

Potential is the expected ending ASI range. A couple of sites have the ranges down. It is affected by coaching, TG, and professionalism.

And to elaborate, the 18 is his scouted rating on a scale of 1-20, so 18 is QUITE good. It doesn't relate to the skill points in different areas directly, as mentioned it's an estimate of what his ASI could get up to.

I went down to 9 men in my cup game but still managed to compete well and take the game to PKs. Unfortunately, I missed every freaking PK and lost on PKs 3-0.

Anyone have those sites? Or any other useful sites that would help some?

Thanks

If you finish in the relegation range, are you definitely being dropped? Or is it related to how many inactives there are? I'm sitting right at the range and don't really want to drop after just getting to Div.4

If you are in Division 4, you should be fine. Inactives and banned teams are removed before relegation/promotion so Division 4 teams rarely get relegated. I think I've seen at most one relegated into Division 5. When you get to Division 3 and 2, you'll probably get relegated if you finish in the bottom 6 as the teams above you are generally active.

In 1st place by 7 points. After a rough start, I've determined Division 4 isn't so bad after all.

Game of the year for my division tonight. 1 against 2, at my place. A win and I am 1 point down.

Whew. I likely will finish just in or out of the relegation zone, so hopefully they give me a free year.
I've got plans to upgrade but don't want to do it just to do 5 slots better. I'm saving up for some difference makers about the time that my youth starts giving me some valuable players.
Its all coming together...if I don't get relegated.

WHY? Why does some random 5th Division Egyptian team feel the need to outbid me for a 19 year old American midfielder that I could really use in my lineup. Argh...

Got the win, 1 point down, 1 point ahead of 3rd, 5 points separate 1st from 6th.

Pulled a 19* F tonight. Granted he may not be legit, but he's clearly solid. Points aren't in great position, but he's only 16.
My YD is RARELY correct in its assessment.And even more rarely are they incorrect the right way. I've had about 5 guys rated around 12 that end up 6 or 7.
Hopefully he ends up somewhere near 18. I'm not good enough to know what he is and my scouts are mediocre at best. Clearly my best pull though.

What is his ASI right now? That gives you a fair idea as to where he will rate.

My youth pulls suck. My best pull was last week when I pulled a 17.

only 47.
He's only 16, so I'm not sure what he should be. His peaks are not great. I just hope he's professional and can overcome some flaws. And I hope he's at least 17-18 and not 12. My YD seems to exaggerate my pulls most of the time. Only 1 time have they been wrong in my favor. At least per my scouts, who also are not great. I'll scout him next week and see. A mjor league team has come and shortlisted he and my 17*DL, so he must have something. Frankly the DL seems way better, but he's 17, so that may skew my view. Eithe way, I'll be getting a reserve squad soon.
When is best time to get reserve squad? In between seasons or is that too late?

Anyone have any suggestions for a new team?


I seem to be having trouble getting over the hump. I am 2-3-2 and sitting in the middle of my group but have the worst goal differential. I seem to be having trouble getting over the hump and have switched from a 4-4-2 to a 5-3-2 and since then I haven't been blown out, but I can't put up more than one goal in my games. I have tried playing lots of friendlies and tinkered with the lineup to find something that consistently works to no avail. I am also running balanced, moderately attacking.

Do I need to dump some money on higher rated players? So far I have only picked up an extra goalie when I got down to one due to injuries. I have five coaches (only run two training update, and only with one then two coaches) and my keeper trains at 90%. The others train at ~70%.

denied is my team name also. I am getting spanked once again, took a 1-0 lead and have since given up three. It seems like a lot of time I get down and I just start getting steam rolled.

404 means the page isn't found but going to www.trophymanager.com gives a 403, meaning that there's no index/default page in that directory. My guess is that someone deleted a directory they shouldn't have and I really hope someone is working on it.

Considering it is 9AM on a Sunday I doubt it is being fixed. I am a little suprised it happend considering they just did an update but it came back. I wonder if they ran the update then deleted something after it was done that needed to stay.

I need help at this game. I am hemorraghing goals but it doesn't look to me like it is the fault of my defense. I have allowed more goals than any team in my group has even scored. It seems like I can't score and it snowballs from there. Anyone have any advice since I just started playing? I really wanted to kinda have my team set before the next season started but with only 3 games left I am not so sure.

Would be happy to help, got a link to your club? I tried searching for denied but got a bunch of match reports
