Speaking of assistants is 3 assistants still the optimum number? I know you did some research on that kenyard but I forgot to follow up on that one. What would you recommend the general skills of assistants to be? Right now I have outstanding, incredible and a brilliant one.....I had 3 magicals at one point, but I don't think the high wages cost is worth that extra bit of training you get....or is it?

That discussion will never end ;)

I choose for 3 magical assistants because i train a long period (buy young players, sell them when they are around 27) i think the extra wage will bring me more money then it cost because of some extra pops. But i think if you train for fast money it is less profitable.

i got 6 assistants whos total skills added up to ~45 (same as 3x magical i assumed)

i had no general training that week. maybe it was even that i had no training, i cant remember, but it didnt work well

i have had 4 assistants before a few times and it worked ok

"The assistants may be helpful to the main coach improving his training effectiveness - the better the assistant (in terms of general appraisal); the more he helps the main coach. However, do not hire too many assistants. If you hire more than 3, they will argue, resulting in training being less effective, or even lost."
it's probably chance based whether they'll 'argue' or not.

I had 3 magicals at one point, but I don't think the high wages cost is worth that extra bit of training you get....or is it?

I also think 3x magical is a bit to expansive compared to the extra skill pops you get. Better to spend that money on the best head coach and junior coach you can get, and (for example) 3x incredible assistants. But if you can afford even better assistants as incredible, it will always gives you that little bit more.

And as Wybo wrote, it will always be a discussion what is best to do. From a certain point I think the main consideration is, 'can I afford it without anything else has to be given up' :)

iv yet to see someone who has crappy assistants get 1 week skill pops in skill being trained though also...

what's 'crappy'? i've yet to see that in my pacetraining with 1 excellent and 2 incredible assistants. i'm getting 4-6 pops and a few randoms a week with 22 players ranging from 16 to 24 year old though, which is definitely an improvement compared to the seasons where i worked with just 'good' assistants.

i might be leaving the country tomorrow, if i am, is it advisable for me to use sokker while on my trip (will be 1 week if i go). i think i will be fine setting up my teams tomorrow for the cup and league game, but i would like to check on the team and watch the match, and ensure that i would be playing a full squad in my cup game. For example, if a player that is playing in both games gets a red card...

basically what i'm asking is i wont get a ban if i log in from another ip in different country?

no you won't get a ban, don't worry

unless you accidentally end up playing with the ip of a guy who also plays sokker and perform(ed) some recent transfers with the team of that ip you're not going to be banned fast.
anyway even then the admins check as much as they can because ip's might also be the same for other reasons like when you're on a campus with some shared pc's for example.

however if you know there's a risk of 'mistaken ip identity' possible, like when you're playing on a shared ip with for example a brother who has his own team it's better to follow the rules strictly and notify the admins of the situation before problems can arise.

its only for registration that ip matters.
(or transfers of players - you cant have similar ips or history of similar ips)

in other words you can delete your english team, go to wherever you are going for a week, register a team, return home and have a team in that country.

my match wont load. could this be a server thing or my computer?

My match won't load either. All prevous matches load, but not the one from today.

both of your matches load fine for me...

yeah its working now. i think it was the server because i couldnt do anything for a while. it kept on saying 503 no server is available to handle this request...

i got that as well 20-30mins ago ;) its fine now though.
