Alright Unicorn Power, one of us will take our first loss(or draw) this round. Then I get to go fight Norfolk.

Whoa this is a blast from the past. If anyone’s on the fence about playing go join up, it’s super easy and getting overly attached to your electronic sports people and yelling at friends about them is very fun.

Honestly I don't want to be in Serie Goon next season. Hard to get good DV against better teams while you're getting beaten to a pulp and spending all your money on training. I have 1-2 too many prospects but otherwise my team is in decent shape I think. If i can manage to finish the season with decent money in the bank I'll be golden.

This first season is great with how crappy the teams are. None of my older players are really worth the training fee so I decided to keep a wide bench and just play whoever is in form at the moment. Screw their DV, they'll be redundant in a couple seasons anyway.

Wow, not a single player on that team is salvageable or even worth a dime on the transfer market. You might as well hire a team of 18/4's and sack the rest. Option B: resign and then take over a vacant team with a high squad value, sell off the older players and buy some youth, keeping a few mil in the bank for the future.

Wish I would have seen this a few weeks back, had been thinking about old X11 days and had an urge to dive back in.

Sent in an application for Real Norwich FC if things open back up. Can't wait to turn a 16/4 into a 20/7.

I'm not sure exactly but it was recently changed, this was what the developer said about it:

quote:

The speed the compatibility change happens has been increased by 20%. This is not a linear function either and with an added random factor, so you won't see your players move forwards to excellent at a steady pace.

This is good to know because I have picked up a few players with meh compatibility and remember it taking loving forever. Part of my season 2 "rebuild" after looking at who jumped was going to be "okay who acutally likes eachother" before I started jettisoning failed prospects into the sun.

This next round should also be good for Retu Nagele A, with all of the top 4 teams playing against each other.

I read somewhere that each team has a hidden "home advantage" stat, so you could be +10% in home games but then -10% in away games, or +15%/-15%, etc. So far I have won 3 home games with crazy scorelines and then lost my only away game so I'm wondering if I have a big number in there or if I've just been lucky with players & tactics. Either way, it's probably not a great idea to bet on me in the pools this week since I'll be visiting Old Man and the FC.

You got jobbed in our fixture agreed, that pen seemed unfair right before the whistle. Good tactics on your side though.

Yeah, thanks for starting it back up Rapner! I was pretty happy to find I still had my old team logo collecting dust on my hard drive, complete with the est. 2013 banner (which seemed really stupid at the time).

Sounds like someone who has been relegated, likely for inactivity. There is usually one per league. It's tough but if they don't set tactics you might be able to read previous tactic reports and see what their default tactic is, and exploit it.

How the gently caress do the Sheds still have money to pick up a 32/13 midfielder. My double header against them is going to loving hurt.

He basically cost me my week's income.

Most of my "value" is sitting in a 17/4.

And I hadn't checked my team this afternoon. I take it I won him then? 🤣
