Hattrick

[De Town]

Ah feck it, I nearly scored again....

Well done PS on your penalty save :)

[De Town]

Just had a lucky escape :o

15minutes to hold out......... :(

[De Town]

Ah balls :mad:

3-3.

I'd take a draw now :(

[De Town]

All over, 3-3. Good result, would have taken it before the game ;)

adamcarr finished 5-1 and PS grinded out a 1-1 draw :)

[Poor Student]

That's harsh Town but he is miles ahead of you in the league. 1-1 isn't too bad for me, it keeps that team almost impossible to catch me. However it killed any small ambition I had to take top. I am 5 points off the top. I play the leader away in 2 weeks. So I can PIC the next game then another MOTS.

[pete]

3 warnings means a suspencion! To find out if a player is a computer team then click on the team and if there are no user details then that means its a computer team!

[adamcarr]

Just noticed that today is my clubs 1st birthday! :) The 5-1 win was a good present!

I wonder what my team will be like in another year! :ball: I have a total of 3 players in my squad now that I had when I first started the game! :o

[dcnags]

I almost got a draw today.......but then the other team scored in the 2nd minute and i lost 6-nil.

31% possession in both halves. I am now 6th and i'm playing the team just ahead of me next and they lost 9-1 today. But they were playing the top team and i was playing the 4th team. :o

[exile]

can someone challenge me too a friendly please forgot to do one this week :rolleyes:
corkcityexiles is the name of the team cheers

Is anyone expanding there stadium before the prices double in May? You might not be able to fill it but it would be a good investment for the future! :cool:

Definately. Last year my crowds were crap as I started off near the bottom, lost four games in a row in the middle of the season to the top two teams, lost fans and only scraped 3rd place at the end of the season. This season I've been in the top two all season and breached the 1000 fans mark so I am filling my 25k stadium against top teams. I have two home games left against the two bottom teams this season so this will be an indicator of what my worst possible crowds are. I reckon I'll increase it to 35 or 40k. You just wish you were in the game one season earlier as they're already dead expensive and they're gonna get far worse next season.

[dcnags]

Made a couple of signings. Snapped them out of other teams grasps in the last few minutes before the deadline also. Delighted :)

Bought 2 keepers by accident though:

Stanford Situnayake (15075529)

I'll keep this guy and get rid of the other fellow i bought. Wage bill is quite big.

BTW I think i challenged you exile. Go really easy ok, last i checked, my fans were murderous.

[Schumi]

I've just joined hattrick and am a bit lost. I've had a look through some of the sites mentioned here but don't really know what I'm doing! Any advice from grizzled veterans ;) here?

[GK for the Town]

Yeah i did a bit of stadium building myself the other week. I'm up to 22,500 or so now. Dont know if i'll fill it though. cause i've only 1,050 supporters club. Hopfully i will. It is very expensive to expand the stadium even at the moment, so i might try expanding again before the deadline cause after that it'l be pure hell trying to budget to afford it.

Does anybody have big income coming in for the finance part of your economy. I have Spokepersons getting me a good bit through sponsors, i think its economists that reflect on your finances but i dont know if they can create huge income by employing about 7/8 of them. Any views ??

[GK for the Town]

Welome !!
I dont think there is anything, that can be done immediatly cause you've only got your team but pick out a formation that you wish to play for the season or so and then try buy cheap trainees, 17 year olds preferably so you can choose the right training type and train them up and if needed then sell one or two off for huge money and buy decent players for other positions. You'll probably have to wait till next season to get settled enough to challenge for promotion or so. You need patience for this game.
Best of luck anyway. :ball:

Finally a fellow student joins up. :D What's your team name Schumi? Whatever you do, do not spend any money until you figure things out.

[Schumi]

Böys in Blüe (some Finnish ba$tard stole my team name! :D ).

[Poor Student]

Böys in Blüe (some Finnish ba$tard stole my team name! :D ).

So you decided to steal his language script? :D

[Schumi]

So you decided to steal his language script? :D
Something like that, yeah! In hindsight, fadas would have been easier to type but it looks cooler this way. :D

Some Dutch guy stole my name too. :rolleyes:

[Poor Student]

Well Schumi you got a bit of a rough deal, you got put in the bottom division and one with a few human players it seems. Most of us get put in Series IV. However nevermind.

Ok hattrick works like this to make huge amounts of money you train players up and sell them. To train a player you select a skill to train and simply select a player in the position of the skill that is being trained. Training is updated once a week (Friday) so any player who has played once or twice in the trained position in the last week receives training. It doesn't matter if you play once or twice you get the same amount. So to maximise this effect you should play a friendly every single week to double the amount of players you can train. The more players you train the more money you will make. Also the younger a player is the faster he trains (17 being the youngest possible age). So the idea is, say you train defending then you will buy a bunch of young defenders train them over a few seasons and make a huge profit. Also the
better the coach the faster they train.

Now to get a hang of the team selection it roughly goes like this.
GK: Only relevant stat is goalkeeping.
CD: Only relevant stat is defending
WB: Relevant stats are defending and winger, winger less important than defending
Central Mid: Most important stats is playmaking, closely followed by stamina and secondarily passing and defending
Winger: Most important stat is winger, followed by stamina, then followed by playmaking and passing
Striker: Most important stat is shooting, followed by passing

If I were you I'd buy no players for a couple of weeks at least until you figure out how to select a team and how to get a proper training regime going

It good advice from the others but also get a passable/poor coach striaght away as it speeds up training

[pete]

I've just joined hattrick and am a bit lost. I've had a look through some of the sites mentioned here but don't really know what I'm doing! Any advice from grizzled veterans ;) here?

Use the info provided by others here or use that info website. Write down the nesessary skills for each position in team (use 4-4-2 formation for now). Now go through your squad & list down the best 4-5 players in each position, Pick your best team for next game & see how they perform. Now can decide the weak positions, formation to continue etc...

[adamcarr]

My exellent keeper is back from injury! :) Now he can play in the game against the best team in my league at the weekend!

[De Town]

That's harsh Town but he is miles ahead of you in the league.
I didnt mean it in a bad way, I was just trying to say that the other team was probably better than you but you restricted them to very few chances :)

Welcome Schumi :) If ya need any help just ask on here and 1 of the lads will help ya im sure ;)

[De Town]

I won my first game in ages during the week, 4-0 :) With a 2nd team aswell :ball:

Fancy my chances this weekend :cool:

[Poor Student]

Noooo the harsh comment was in relation to your result. Doing well and winning then pegged to a draw. Harsh on you. But as I said he is miles ahead of you in the league so it wasn't the worst thing in the world. Nothing to do with anything you said about me. :p Your exactly right, he was a better team and my defence restricted him as it is the best part of my team. Good luck this weekend. Hope your upturn continues.

Looks like my high expectations are a little too high :(

Im 2-0 down. :mad:

[adamcarr]

Im 2-1 up against the team that are top of my league! I doubt Ill beat them though!

[adamcarr]

FCUK IT!! They got two goals in a minute!

[De Town]

FCUK IT!! They got two goals in a minute!
:mad:
They went on to get another 1 :( Hard luck :(

I got it back to 3-2 at 1 stage but lost 4-2 in the end :( Must win game next week for me.

EDIT: and my captain got injured for 2 weeks :( Is there a limit to the number of physios you can have? I just hired 7 to make 10 in total.

[Poor Student]

I won 6-0 today PICing against a team that is all but a bot (manager not logged in for weeks). My centre back scored a hattrick today! :eek: I am 5 points off the top with 3 games to go. Next week I play the top team away. He'll probably blow me away. But if I somehow manage to beat him he has a game against the true best team in the league on the last day. Should be an interesting week for me next week. Sounds like a rough week for you lads. Sorry.

[De Town]

how do you see the league table btw ?? i cant see a link for it anywhere
Go to your team page on the menu on the left of the screen. It will have C.F. Shelbourne in big writing at the top and it will have a little bit of info about your team, e.g. location, stadium. at the bottom of the info, it will say series, click on that and your table will come up :)

Congrats on your first win btw :)

[pete]

2 points off top place with 3 games left.

I've 19,900 stadium for 1100 odd supporters, think i need to expand again...?

[De Town]

if your filling it, then yes. you should probably expand anywy.

i have 1029 supporters and am in crap form and still geting 11,000 odd to games.

[Schumi]

I won my first game 3-2. :D :D

Didn't seem to play very well though:
Midfield: disastrous (high)
Right Side Defence: poor (low)
Central Defence: poor (low)
Left Side Defence: wretched (high)
Right Side Attack: wretched (very high)
Central Attack: wretched (low)
Left Side Attack: wretched (low)

What do the bits in brackets mean?

They are different levels. I think they go from Very Low-Low-High-Very High. and then after you get very high it turns up a level ie wretched - poor.

[Schumi]

Thanks.

Looking at this Schumi, you will need to sort your midfield out. Mine was disastrous (very high) there a few weeks ago and was getting beaten 6-0 or 7-0. I have brought it down a bit over the last few weeks, and I'm not getting beaten by as much these days :D

If your going to train Playmaking, buy young inner mids, 17-19 year olds, train them up and sell them off. If your gonna train something else, buy inner mids with inad/pass PM and inad/pass stamina. I have an 18 y/o PM on the list at the moment for nothing but he has very bad stamina but thats trainable.

I just bought a PM today. Solid PM and Solid Stamina, 25 y/o :D

[adamcarr]

I never set my team for my friendly so I played my first team again and lost a weeks training for a few trainees! :mad: I won my game 9-0 though because of it! :p

Anyone feel like a friendly next week?

[De Town]

I never set my team for my friendly so I played my first team again and lost a weeks training for a few trainees!
Hate that. 1 of my keepers TSI went up 800ish :) but my other keeper only went up 20 :(

I won my game 9-0 though because of it! :p
I lost 11-0 to some English team :o

Anyone feel like a friendly next week?
