Just an observation/joke. It seems that you will be bidding on one guy and in the last 12 hours some random Saudi team from div 7 comes in and drives the price up 300%, if you keep bidding against them. I have seen this happen more than once to me and to other players I was just watching. It appears, in my opinion, that a lot of people have multiple teams in that country or just a lot of terrible managers.

It's probably all the cash they get from helping expatriated Nigerian princes.
I think they get 3-4 teams, then sell all players and roll cash together into 1 team over time. I've seen and turned in multiple teams for selling total garbage players for over $100M, but they never get banned. I have also heard the King himself has a team with a bunch of henchmen running the team for him.
And I think they buy American players, just to retire them and hurt our overall pool of American players. But that's just a theory

Thought I would try and get my name added to the list of TM players...Grapevine FC
Who else is having a good season? Im top of the league and 8 points clear of third place. Then I sell my 34 yr old (57 trexma) DMC for 27 mil and pick up this gem for 40 mil:

Denied, I am TSF, but in U.S. 4.22 with TAMU United.
Man, he was a steal, nice buy.
Having a really good season here, just dropped into second in 4.19 after putting 10 SOG vs a team who's GK rated a 10 and drawing 0-0 :p Leading the leagues in Goals Scored and Goals Allowed though, looking good to promote.

I've had success this year compared to the last couple. I crawled into Div4 a couple seasons ago and have been trying to build though youth. After 2 seasons of just avoiding demotion, I finally have been winning regularly. I am 5th now I think. Which is good considering I'm not using much youth yet and haven't bought anyone.
I guess the midagers just have been growing enough to move me up a couple rungs.
Next season I hope to make a sustained run. My youth is getting close to helping finally. Though I'll have to replace a few people. But I'm having fun this season pretending that I'm challenging. I just want to meet my money goals, which I should again this season depending on my Cup draw.
Did I forget to knock on wood? Lost to a bad team yesterday. He had a hot goalie, so not much I could do.

What are these SK things after ASI or is that something that Trexma adds on?
I'm doing fairly well thus far. When I replaced my GK mid season, my results really turned around. So far, it seems to be carrying into this season as well. I'm in 4th and while I don't think I can win my group, I might be able to squeeze into 2nd if I get a little lucky. Team is slowly improving as the 10 YD is beginning to pay off more and more.
I'm selling a decent young OMC if anyone is interested.
He's finished his bloom but he should wind up around 10,000 ASI when all is said and done.

Who did I give my account to? How's your team doing?

My season is turning out much better than i could have expected. I am now sitting in 2nd and only 1 point behind 1st. My team has performed solidly this season for the most part, even with a recent rash of injuries and cards. I didn't think I would be pushing for promotion this season, as I have a lot of youth just starting blooming. I won't turn it down if it keeps going this way. Hopefully the cup will be nice to me as well this season.
Not sure if anyone answered this question already but the SK1 and SK2 are the Trexma ratings for the favorite positions of the player.

Something weird is going on. I have pretty much written my season off and resigned myself to relegation. However, I have had goals at 11', 12', and 13' tonite. Lets hope that I can hold onto a 3-1 lead.
My reserve team won 2 consecutive cup games for the first time ever.
I'm getting annihilated this season. I may actually give up the 70 goals. I have a kick ass 3rd division team, but my young'uns aren't quite ready for D2.
FML. After I bragged to yall about 2 weeks ago, everything went to ****. I went from having 1 loss and being on top of the league by 7 points to 2nd place behind 1st place by 2nd points (1 ahead of 3rd).
I tied 4 games and lost 1 to some of the worst teams who I killed earlier this season. And the worst part is, I dont know what happened!
My changes:
- I sold my 34yr old DMC (who was my captain with 'OK' leadership)
- Replaced the DMC with a better younger version.
- I Ran out of TM Pro.
I dont know what to do. Either the captain of the team makes a huge difference or TManager helps you if you have Pro.

How much routine does your young guy have? I will say that having a decent captain makes a big difference as far as consistency.
I've got a young-ish GK for sale (26 but just finished bloom) if anyone is interested, not American but he'd be a solid Div 4/5 GK. He's done well for me in limited appearances, ends on Sunday and he's cheap right now:

I have somehow managed to climb into 3rd place not far behind 2nd.
I also just bought a slightly higher asi GK who's a bit younger. I paid a bit more than I wanted, but am selling an 8K asi DMC and my old GK to make some money to cover it.
I loved my older keeper and it was a risk to sell him considering he did great since I bought him, but he's 34 and likely or has a high possibility of retiring. New guys is 32, so not a long life either, but I'll sell him in a couple seasons. Hopefully he doesn't have some problem I forgot to check about like injuries. Crap, just thought about that. Early morning bidding kills me.
Anyhoo, QUESTION:
Would it be better for me to stay in Div.4 another season or go up to Div.3 (if I get lucky and are promoted) and get slaughtered. I'd have more fans automatically. I'm in a transition of bringing up some of my younger players over the next 2 seasons. No way I can compete right now at Div3.

ANSWER: Promotion is always better. You never know how well you will do next season... and if you get killed, youll be back where you started with more fans.
I am at a fork in the road and don't know what to do. I have $20million and have identified some weaknesses and don't know where I should put my money. My salaries/maintenance expenses are ~$10mil/wk, so even if I get relegated I think I can continue to make some money each week.
Anyway, things that I am considering doing (in no order) and would like some help on prioritizing.
1)Upgrade TG/YD, both are currently at lvl4.
2)Purchase a youngish GK. I don't think my GKs can cut it in the 4th division. I think at least one is too old and their STA seems to be their shortcoming. I have a GK coach whose training potential is 94% so if I could ever draw a GK/buy a GK who still has some development left I may do pretty good.
3)I have all but one of the coaches I need, however I think two of them could be upgraded.
4)My entire defense is old, and I think it is starting to show. I can go out and by again as a temporary fix, or I can go ahead and start playing my teenagers which would write off the remainder of my season and guarantee relegation.
5)My stadium seats 14500, and I have 7070 fans. I still generally sell out. Is the cost of expanding worth it?
6)A question, at what point does age start being a big factor? I have a guy who was MVP in div5 last season, but he hasn't done a whole lot for me this season (although he still has a good average rating). I am thinking about moving him into a back up role because everyones numbers seem to go up when he is on the bench.

I'd say something about the team that passed you up, but I don't want the same kind of bad karma you got from your post.
Your team just looks like it is going through a midseason slump. Underperformance is bouncing around from player to player. My team seems to do that every year. I'd still put money on your team being promoted.
denied, I think you must upgrade your YD/TG some more.
I'd look for a good keeper around age 30 at the end of this season. Look for someone that has good ratings in a somewhat comparable league. I'll shoot you a PM about my keeper, he's old, but can be had for pretty cheap. I put him on the TL this morning for $6M. He's had good ratings (close to 6rating) for me for 3 seasons in USA Div4. He has likely 2 seasons left, so that would push back your concerns about keeper for awhile. I just upgraded the keeper spot myself.
Then upgrade your TG/YD at the beginning of next season at least.
So I managed to blow an easy cup victory yesterday. Team was nowhere near mine, but managed to have a keeper game like no other. I've scored a decent amount of goals this season and have fared well against pretty good goalies. But this guy shut me out for 120 minutes.
YES, full extra time to a shoot out, 0-0. And he pummeled me 4-2 in shootout somehow, even though I have some guys with nice finish. My keeper rated a 9 probably cause other team wasn't very good.
I had about 25 shots I think, 12 or so on net. Nothing. It didn't help that my long striker (asi 15000) that averages 6+ got himself a 1. I had 3 guys with a 9 rating but couldn't score. Argh. Mostly irritated cause it costs me VIP money for my needed second cup win. I need more money dang it!

denied, look for a GK who has the highest possible reflexes and handling you can find. Try to find someone with AT LEAST a 16 in both. Don't worry about ASI or even his other skills.
If you can get someone with decent 1 v. 1 and physical or aerial/jumping skills, even better.
A good keeper can save you in D4 and even help you move up to D3. And they are usually not expensive unless you go for someone with high skills across the board.

EG, I'll agree except that it seems that Aerial ability has become much more important in the new ME. Behind Reflexes and Handling for sure, but a secondary skill that can have a definite effect on a GK's performance (I got rid of my last guy because he gave up WAY too many goals off headers).
Also just listed a young DMC, he just finished bloom but he's got decent stats and great match ratings, would be solid for a Div 5 club or maybe Div 4 (at least a solid backup):

I always thought 1 on 1 was pretty important too. ESPECIALLY if you back line has a few holes in it.
I lost 2-1 to a bottom of the table team last night, the first goals I've given up in my last 6 league matches. It was someone's B-team, my starting lineup has more ASI than his entire 33 person squad. Argh. Still in second with 4 points on third place though.
Cup match tonight against another Div 4 team, I look stronger on paper so we'll see how it goes.

I climbed into tie for 2nd place last week. Haven't won since, haven't scored since. All the keepers have gotten hot against me this week. I had the second most goals in the league and poof all gone, including 120minutes of my OT cup game against a vastly inferior opp.

I agree that 1 v. 1 and aerial ability is important. If you can find someone with those skills PLUS good handling/reflexes, by all means snag him.
Looks like I finally pulled a 17+ player. Could any of you guys volunteer a scout report or two to help lock down the bloom and rating. I have a 20 from YD and a 18* and 19* from my scouts both with normal bloom.

Any help would be appreciated. This pull helps after being bounced from the cup and poorly performing the last couple of games.

Sigh, too bad it is all for naught it looks like. Got banned last night due to multiple accounts. My wife had been semi-playing and was into her 2nd season. Looks like they interpreted that as multiple teams under the same person, understandably. I thought you could have people from the same house play as long as they did not interact?
I am appealing it, but don't think I have ever noticed a ban be undone. Maybe at least the NT rescue might be interested in him? It's frustrating to have this happen, but I understand how it must look. Once I get final word, looks more than likely it will be back to step one for me.

Dude, that sucks.
You're correct, you can have accounts from more than one person but they may not have realized that and just seen two teams from the same IP address.
While I like the game, it seems like they sometimes jump to conclusions without asking questions on things like this.
Congrats on your player though...sorta If he's a 19/20 I'd think that he would have a good shot at the NT rescue though.

Surely there's an appeals process. Anyone know someone that can help. I had a similar problem in another game once and they gave me conditions to continue. It might be a who ya know instance that could save you.
