Hahaha my 17/5 came on for ten minutes in what's his first non start... and boosted himself from +7 to +8. Maybe I should keep playing him and push for the ten!

After both getting shamed out of Nagele B, I'm looking forward to this Devils/Dadbod double-header after Walamor and I have straight murdered our way through the rest of Taupe B. Edit: Would have helped if I'd actually set tactics after this post like I thought I had. Destrado fucked around with this message at 16:33 on Jul 25, 2021 |

RNB is the contest of the best versus the rest I'm part of the rest  . Relegation might be good because my youth core is still in the low 20s, so I could come back with a storm with my core in their prime

Heh, I didn't realize it was that close. Mostly commenting on the bottom 3 having 3+ losses and the top 3 being unbeaten To be fair, all 3 of my losses were super close from a chance perspective, something about team just not finishing and having a lousy goalie situation. Finding a real solid goalie that's not a rental is insanely pricey, maybe by next season I'll have enough to fill that spot. I also could still realistically win, but that loss against SoG at home was not good.

Wow RNB really is an insane league. My 17/5 has just hit DV9 too. I guess I need to just rest him for the next 5 games? My defence utterly fell apart after my keeper was injured last match. I was lucky to get through with the win in the end. 3-0 up to 3-2.

The tiered system should settle things pretty well in another season or two overall though, looks like we got good strength distribution pretty fast. Maybe once its settled we move to a more vertical spread instead of the ladder approach? I'm starting to enter "horde cash" mode while I wait to see whether I'm going to promote or stay in RNA. Going up to SG? Pick up a veteran or two. Staying put? Pick up a youth or just keep hording.

I'm still in the 'training kids' phase so I'm constantly low on cash after trying to make sure I have enough vets to keep my age up. Hopefully one or two more season will settle me quite a bit.

Hopefully one or two more season will settle me quite a bit. I really only even consider training 5-6 players on the squad if they are below 15 form with a downward trend, so I'm mostly cash positive at this point even with sizeable away game bonuses set.

The thing that annoys me most with X11 is how success helps you snowball: good results keep your form high, so you need less training, good finishing positions give you more cash, good player stats give you more cash. A team finishing top of a division can easily be +2m compared to a bottom half side, which makes it a lot easier to strengthen the squad over the seasons.

For me it's the loving 1980s web design that's completely horrible on a mobile. Also idk really how I ended up in the first spot of RNB but you can be sure that this won't last since I'm starting a new job next week and that probably will take up a lot of my attention.

Yeah it's a bit unbalanced but even with zero cash on hand you can kick off a youth team over a season with the weekly money and have the potential to get strong in the longer term, so there is always hope! I've been neglecting the game a little (missed setting my team twice on Sunday this season, that game seems to get me more than the Thursday one) but the yoots are still going up so hopefully in a season or two I'll be able to challenge.

The problem is you will get strongER, but as strength is relative everyone else will be getting stronger as well, so you can't really progress unless people get bored/decide to reset. The only real way out of the hole is to hope to pull an insane youth prospect you can sell for a ton of cash.

The one good thing is that my team's form is generally pretty solid this season despite having significantly worse results, which is the flipside than last season.

Speaking of getting relegated, my internet picked a great time to die so I threw together last minute quick tactics and paid for it. Given how things have gone for me I have no idea if I'll pull out, but I'm doubting it. Though to be fair this season is basically "I should have just bought a 30/12 GK" instead of trying to get my youth GK up (and my veteran GK has had garbage form all season, rip) Dragongem fucked around with this message at 18:21 on Aug 1, 2021 |

Main drivers are how old/good the player's teammates are, also some of how good your opponents are. Young player learn from old, and the threshold for penalties is an average team age of 26.

Relegation in RNA seems pretty settled, but today's Cancel Culture v Bearpope match could either put Bearpope in a position to seal their promotion or turn it into a wide open 3 team battle that will come down to multiple results on the last game of the season.

Ugh second game in a row a last second goal screws up my result. Really wanted to win that, but I guess my team's back in the "choking in stoppage time" nonsense. ABCDE FC has Tenbux and Sheds (who may just be able to play all kids) for the last two so even if I win both my next games I think he may win his both too, so, uh, getting a little tight over here.

No one has played it for ages as far as I can see. There's nothing in the pot every week so there is no incentive to go first and then get gazumped by a second player.

Time to spend a few days getting itno the mind of Bearpope. A win in either direction is promotion for the winning team, while a draw gets us to a weird last day competition.

Question 1 for mindmelding: does a bearpope poo poo in the woods? Was worried at the halfway mark, but the last few games have been good for DV with only one youth under 5.

Yeah my DV has not been going well this season at all, I think I'll finally have to sell 1 or 2 players because I'm constantly broke and have had to be selective on form training. I still have 3 youth players on +1 or +2 DV.

The good news is that I plan to win both of my remaining games. Want to keep in the winning habit and take some momentum into next season. At a very minimum I want to finish the season unbeaten.
