I never train keepers as only benefits 2 players. However keepers most expensive to buy for this very reason i suspect.
Two things in its favour. Tactical freedom and expensive sell on fee. Also very rapid training.
Anyone getting promoted this year?
Very poor year for me as going inot last game could be 3rd or 5th. Leaking too many goals & will have to spend half my transfer budget (2.5m+) on at least a fomidable keeper. Need new defence too. :(
****e year, missed setting up my team and also friendlies too many times my training was a mess. best i can get now and from a few games off was 5th place and a home playoff game which wud be at home and give me 500k or so. better then finishing 4th imo.
moved to PM training too from winger so prob will be a while b4 anything pays off and i move up to div II
Terrible year myself. I've gone back to finishing 3rd in the league after i got 2nd last year. I'm against the league winners in my last game but i'm gonna let him win so he gets auto promoted. Hopefully get someone a bit easier for next year and then give it a good go.
Got my Stadium up to just over 40,000 so hopefully gate money will give me more chance to raid the transfer markets
If any of you's wanna friendly i'm available.
Its My Ball (32012)
I'll accept it by the end of today.
Cheers.
Hows everyone setup for the season?
Whats the deal with bot teams selling players. Just seen one sell a keeper for 1m when he worth 8m+. I'd just bought new keeper so no cash to bid :( :( :(
Lads, would any of ye be interested in joining the foot.ie league on Xpert Eleven? It's much the same as Hattrick and at the moment their are about 15 teams in the two divisions on there. Our season is nearly over so if ye join soon then ye'll be in time for the new season. It's good fun lads so why don't ye join?:).
For details on how to join go to the Xpert Eleven thread.
Cheers!
He was probably a national team player! Im gonna walk my league this season. Won 5-1 yesterday against the only real threat for me!Quote:

Howya guys,
Pete, thats pretty much same as my team. I've added in an oustanding GK + Def.
------------Out----------
--Excellent---Out-----Excellent
Solid--Mag---Brill---Brill-----Solid
------Formid-----Excellent---
Still dont think Its good enough for winning my league. Won 7-0 in my first game though, so have to wait and see how i get on against realistically 2 tough challengers.
I've got
-----------------------------Magnificent----------------------------
Outstanding---Magnificent----World Class---Magnificent---Magnificent
Formidable---------Formidable---------Excellent-------------Excellent
-----------------------------Solid----------------------------------
Got a 4-1 thumping from last season's league leaders. I'm still in the cup but have already drawn a tough team. The wages are getting a bit heavy for me. I'm making a good 50k loss every week without gate receipts.
Haha just noticed typical 5-4-1 UCD lineout :DQuote:

You've been listening to Rico too much. UCD line out with 4-4-2 nearly 100% of the time.Quote:

I have 2.5 million in the bank. Any ideas on how I should spend it? Im also in a very poor series and will more than likely auto promote so should I just hold onto the money?
I just bought formidable keeper for 1.2m but got 4.5 star straight away so big improvement on previous 3 star keeper. My defence is weak & holding off improving in hope good keeper can save me. I think you should get keeper or defenders (they cheap enough)...Quote:

few things ive picked up,
despite all the changes made to the game engine.. midfield is still key
once you start getting towards the higher skilled player levels you really need to watch you wage bill, buy irish if possible, its a hell of a lot cheaper
form, experiance and leadership of players and coaches is important
im stuck in Div3 for ages now, its strong tough competitive..
Last night i hosted the irish national team in my ground..they lost 4-0 to france though
The playing numbers have breached the 800k mark. I can remember not all the long ago when it breached 500/600k. The market prices are bound to drop with an ever increasing supply of players. I put an outstanding defender with no secondaries on the market there. He only went for 700k. The lad did daytrade him for 800k and earned me another 40k as he was a youth product of mine.
So how is everyone doing now.
Im running away with my league.Its help that 4 of the teams in the league are crap:D . Div iii beckons.
If i win my remaining games could playoff position. League is poor enough & very disappointing 3-2 defeat when keeper injured to top 3 side. 10-1 win the league last week was a record though.
Followed up 10-1 with 9-0 win this week for two legged 20-1 scores over my leagues worst team. If I can win next week should go down to winner takes all last game of the season for title when can use my MOTS.
I havent used the MOTS in so long. Does it actually work ? I probably should of tried it against the team that dropped from Div 111 last year. They beat me 2-0 so it looks like i'm another year in Div IV. It sucks that i'm consitantly next best team in the league.
Been a long time since i used MOTS as it kills squad moral.
My league is weak but i had poor start. I am still looking good to win all my remaining games (do or die in last game) should top the league on goal difference & 36 points which should get me a playoff position.
If i use MOTS in last game i will get killed in the playoff.
How is everyone sorted for last game of the regular season?
I need to win last game to win first league title. I think that will also get me a playoff game. Are all league winners guaranteed at least a playoff?
Yep.Quote:

Drew my first league game against an average team, and since then I've won every game! Win on Sunday against a new team and I will be promoted. Unbelievable season and didn't expect any of it!
Any tips for division III?
Last game finished 2-2 after being 2-2 at halftime & missing penalty in the 2nd half. Finished 2nd again so I missed out on playoff which would have been 200-300k at a minimum. Stuck in IV.4 again but will expect to win league if same teams as poor start last year.
:o
Won my game 9-0 and looks like I'm in III.6 next season. Am going to lose every game! :o :DQuote:

My league winner as predicted failed to get promoted so more or less same league for me next season.
When you finish 2nd it means that first game of the season is massively important as play previous title winner.
2nd for the 2nd season in a row and the team that got relegated look better than me. Could be in for my third succesive 2nd place.
my fifth season in a row in the same series, hopefully i'll get out this year
I am in my 6th full season, 6 wins from 6 & cannot see any scenario where i will fail to be promoted. Aiming for 100% record this league season. Trying to save my cash for close season sales & I will probably lose badly next season but at least i'll be there...
That wasn't the best prediction. I drew 2 games near he end of the season to 2nd & 3rd place teams, lost out on automatic promotion by 1 single point as goal difference very good. Lost the playoff 1-2 to team a bit better than me. :(Quote:

Anyone else still playing this?
I got relegated from III becuse I forgot to set my line-up. I am bankrupt so have to keep selling my players cause my wages are too high. Its not very fun when its like this but Ill stick with it Id say!Quote:
