[De Town]

Poor Student 2-0 up.

[Poor Student]

Phew. I got away with the PIC away. :D

You need to beef up your midfield Town, I know I've said it before but no one with a decent midfield can get hammered like that in HT.

He'll miss training aswell!

Cool :cool: Another Foot.ie head never does any harm :D

You should get your team in about 3-4 days but it could be up to a week.

Good luck! It will take you a while to get used to. Make sure you sign decent players to begin with!

[pete]

[adamcarr]

Ahh FFS! My keeper is out for seven weeks! :rolleyes:

[thejollyrodger]

[antocurran]

10 Doctors then??? How old is he?

[Poor Student]

thanks for the help. cant wait to get a team :)

My advice is hold off on buying any players until you get to know the ropes. I wasted a lot of money at the start not understanding the game.

[adamcarr]

I have the ten docs and he is 19!

[dcnags]

Welcome to the world of hattrick, its real addictive. Whats your team name?

[GK for the Town]

Yeah welcome aboard to the new players.

Have any of the guys playing hattrick for a while ever tried and been successful with a 5-3-2 formation? It seems everybody plays, 3-5-2 or 3-4-3
Would counter attack be the best option to play with this. I'm getting no-where with my 3-5-2 at the moment and i'm struggeling for time to go on the transfre list all the time to improve my squad. Its getting quite annoying.

[James]

yeah welcome to the new foot.ie members of hattrick
anything ye need to know just post a q up here and we'll try and help out

i always play a system that reflects the training i am doing
ie if i was training defenders it makes sense to play a 5-3-2 formation in order to train as many players as possible like

3-4-3 formation is generally used for ppl training attackers

[James]

oh and best bet is too look at yur squad
see what players are trainable.. ie young and with a pssable/solid rating and stick to that for a period of time (couple of seasons and the rewards will be there).. no point imo switching from one training method over to another ever few weeks.. u get v v little benefit

[antocurran]

Yeah welcome aboard to the new players.

3-5-2 is working grand for me. I had a look at your team and if you're training playmaking you're wasting 4 out of the 5 training slots with players who are too old to train in your league matches and its the same with your friendly matches. You're best off selling them and bringing in 8 17-18 yo trainees with at least passable stamina and at very least inad playmakingand train them in order to get anywhere, and when you train them up to formid you can make nearly a million out of them. Trainees can be quite cheap so you'll have plenty of money after selling that dude Joel Richardson anyway and you could get high experienced or solid defenders in and the same with forwards.

If you're going to play 5-3-2 bring in 10 defender trainees and sell your defenders who are over 20. Play counter attack if you're away from home and against a hard team or you could play 4-5-1 pressing without losing any defender training slots. If you're at home you could just play 5-3-2 normal and get some solid minimum playmaking IMs and solid strikers :ball:

Can be done! :D :cool:

[dcnags]

Where do you go to set team positions?

Is it about right that the player with the best keeper stat is only inadequate?

[De Town]

Goaltending Coaches: 1
Assistant Coaches: 9
Sport Psychologists: 5
Spokespersons: 8
Economists: 10
Physiotherapists: 10

Get ris of your docs unless you have injuries to your best players. Keep 3 physios, get rid of all economists unless you badly in debt or really rich, get rid of 2 psychologists

That tean STFT are in my league! Only train stamina during pre-season cause it affects form! You will need to sign decent players first of all and do not expand your stadium as you have no fanbase yet!
