Heisman, I think it means you get a trophy and promoted. Wait for further confirmation.


I got my much needed tie last night to keep 2nd place and will be rejoining Div3.1

Last time I was there, I gutted my team and sold EVERY player over the age of 28 and rode my young guns...who got slaughtered.
We'll see if I can hang in there this time as I have matured all the youth and bought a few select players to fit Div3 a bit better. May not be enough, but of the teams being promoted from Div4 to 3.1, I have fared well against all of them.

I also will for the first time join my TM compadre and 20 yr Aston Blacksheep wingmate, Danger Mouse.
I'm comin' for you bro!

Bones,

Look out, my young guns have been seasoned in 3.1!! BTW, I have finally placed my 20* center back on the TL. I am looking for a keeper for next season.

My reserve squad, in spite of having 70 points, did not get promoted. I am actually happy about it since they would get killed in D4. Best to have them get better game ratings in D5.

I saw Mr. White was TLing. Its a good move; he'll fetch a pretty penny, he's not a great DC and you have several other good DRs. And you have GOT to upgrade that Keeper spot. How did you not get demoted with that guy. lol Pretty amazing backline.
Also, where did your new F come from? What's his rating? He seems to be climbing fast.

Do players who play on the reserve B team develop faster then having them rostered to the A team but not played?

Not exactly, when they play matches (league matches, not friendlies) they accrue routine (.1 per match) and as their routine increases they'll play more consistently, which is especially important for goalkeepers. The general rule is around 10-15 they'll be a pretty consistent performer.

Their other skills will develop exactly the same no matter which team they're on or how much they play, their skills are affected by your Training Ground, coaches, and what skills you train them in.

Bones,

He is a 19/20* striker. He shot up fairly fast this season actually. I have a couple other good young ones on the reserve squad. One had 27 goals in 28 matches this season and the other had 19 goals.

I've had 2(F Pirie and ML Schafer), maybe 3 ever at 18 and above. I think I'm getting screwed!
I upgraded my YD to level 8 as fast as I could with only a slight lag from 7 to 8.

Sparta, I've got one or two guys I might sell you at the beginning of the next season that would fit the bill. My team is Kairos FC in 3.9, run through some of my DCs and see who looks interesting to you. Anyone except Solomon and Sack are open for discussion.

I assumed that I would be trampled. Then I got up 2-0 through the 44th minute and had delusions of grandeur.
They scored in the 45th minute to make my 2-1 look less thrilling.
Then they managed to pound me for 3 more goals in the second. Lose 4-2. Keeper who looked great through 44 minutes, registered a 2 rating.

Gonna be a tough season.

Tough start for me in D2. I outpossessed and outshot my opponent and their GK posted a 10, had 12 shots on goal and only scored once. Lost 3-1 :p

I won my opening match 6-2, setting me up to play the #2 team (they won their opener 4-1). I have a 1-1 record against him from the season that he finished 3rd in our group and I finished last. So I am hopeful that I can get an early foothold on the season here.

I also listed a couple of guys that I bought a few season ago but never had much use for. If you think I am asking too much for them let me know, if they do not sell I will try and adjusted the price to better attract bidders.

In Season 23, my young keeper and defense conceded just 27 goals.

With more routine and a skill point boost to his reflexes, I thought Season 24 would be even better.

But for some reason, we conceded 43 goals in Season 24, with the exact same lineup, same formation, same mentality, etc.

First match of Season 25, he gave up goals on the first three shots he faced en route to a 4-2 loss.

This is a guy with 80-plus Trexma and routine of close to 22. I just don't understand what is going on with him.

Eclipse, my keeper had the same exact problem. He almost won the player of the year in 4.1, then the next season was mediocre (though I got promoted that season). I think you get a roll of the dice in the preseason and your player plays from 1-6 on his own skill set. Maybe you get a lucky 6 or a mediocre 3 season. Who knows? I'm hoping for a miraculous season from my keeper, but I don't foresee it happen in 3.1

What is the optimal time of the week to transfer list a player?

Generally speaking I like to list guys, assuming they're American, on Tuesday afternoons so they end at that time on Sunday. There's lots of different theories though :-)

Eclipse, that is a bit odd on your GK. If his routine was lower it might make sense but he's got solid routine and he's really well distributed skillwise. Worst case scenario you can put him up for sale, you should make some decent cash from him and you can replace him with someone who'll get the job done. Then you can write a press release about his performance causing a tiff with the manager and all kinds of fun stuff.

not doubting you fig, but is there more traffic on the site on a weekend vs weekday?

The rumor is that more people are home chilling out and surfing the site on Sunday afternoon than during the week. Whether that's accurate or not, no idea :-)

fig, I have debated transfering Weaver over and over. I guess I am too conservative when it comes to players. He's put together three clean sheets in a row after the debacle in the opener, though. So perhaps there's hope.

I am transferring a back-up keeper who has great skills for anyone in D3 or below. Nevin Scheidecker has 17-17 in handling/reflexes and his 1 v. 1, aerial and jumping are all good, too.

His Trexma is just under 80.

Transfer ends Sunday afternoon.

I'm also selling three other players, all 3 1/2 stars -- an ML, a DC and an OMC. Check them out at my team page.

Fig is correct about Weekend surfing, but the problem is that more people agree and alot more guys fall off the TL those days, so more competition against the product your selling. I've long pondered less eyes versus less product. If your guy comes off on Monday night and he's alone, he may get 2 bored guys bidding like mad for him. But I've yet chanced it with one of my own studs.

I recently sold 4 players totaling about 40,000 ASI for 180 million. Gotta say that I'm pleasantly surprised they went for that much. Having a perfectly skilled OMC didn't hurt matters.

I was also pleasantly surprised with the results of my 4 early season transfers and I'll likely put 2 more players up for sale to shed some salary.

Usually I will put the players up for sale around midday as the site seems to have the heaviest traffic then. It would be nice to have them expire after USA league matches so that the likelihood of them going to another American club would be higher, but I just can't pass up the slightly higher prices seen midday. I won't necessarily avoid weekends, but I have noticed the overcrowded effect described by bones. Sometimes it works, and other times they just get lost in the crowd.

Oh, and Eclipse, you should have sold that good-for-nothing Weaver when you had a chance. You especially should have sold him prior to last night's league game. Boo that keeper. Booooo him! (and also boo my runts for only putting 3 shots on goal for him).

I'm selling 2 players totaling 15000 asi
A DR went for around $35M
A DC is already over $30M with a day left. I expect him to be over $50M.

They say there's a recession in the game, but rarely am I unhappy when I sell a developed player in a normal position. I sold 1 developed OML once that was great for me for years, but was only 10000 asi. He didn't sell well. I want to strangle people and say, "HE IS GOOD and better than the other rubbish that goes for higher.

I also have a 31 year old OMC with 18 pace and 19 passing. He's been gold for me. I've tried to sell him for over $15M several times, but no takers. He was great for me in Div4, so if anyone wants him for a couple years at $15M, let me know. Otherwise I'll just keep him through retirement. He's done well at Div3 also, even thought he's only 9000 asi, but I'm working with some higher level asi guys that I bought there.
