I am leaving week 14 delibrately empty. I'll be on holiday as from 4th June to 11th so may not end up getting a chance to set a team. Certainly wouldn't be able to adjust tactics as not got flash on my phone so will leave it as a free week rather than run the risk of not being able to set things.

Have started my scouting, have been through every prem side. Will go through II and III fairly soon.

If anyone wants to send any players I may have missed, it would be much appreciated. The info I have from Bronho looks to be fairly out of date.

lol yeah some of them are from over 3 seasons ago

I've set my first lineup, it is a fairly experimental tactic based on what I have read on the forums regarding the new ME so not sure if it will come off or not. Bulgaria go into the game as favourites. Last time they won 5-0. Having had a quick gander at Bronho's tactics they were probably a bit too much on the attacking side.

Had a lot of difficulty getting the lineup set. Despite sending out absolutely loads of SK mails, the response back has been poor (I think at one point I had about 20 message read notifications and possibly as few as 2 replies). I have gained access to the ntdb, so next week I am going to send out SK mails and get people to upload players to that. Information I was passed on is out of date on a massive scale (ie it had Gary Edwards skills age 29, he's 34 now), so is going to be an uphill struggle to get things sorted and organised!

Squad wise struggling for forwards this week, with injuries and poor form hitting hard.

good luck for tomorrow

Go Get 'em Gibbage!!

I see the Tigers sold Brunton for $17m a few months ago, would be a record for an NZ player or team I imagine. They must have a mandate to be competitive but beatable.

Nice mark for Hagan tonight. He's already better than Samson ;)

man, put the man focus on midfield. This way, I get on better results against the same Bulgaria.

Good luck on your season...

You equally lost 5-0 against Bulgaria last time!

Tactic certainly not something I would use again anyway, needs a lot of revamping. Hopefully if I manage to get some player updates in next week through the NTDB (as people don't seem to SK mail) I should be able to play a better midfield rather than rely on a lot of out of date info to pull a squad together.

its 4-0 and I do not play in defence.

If I had play on defence, ok the score are equally.

Did you really only use that spreadsheet you sent to me for the players to use for NZ?

I swear man, its just what Mourinho give to me. And I uptaded many players. Mourinho send me with a 3 season of late.

And the reason you didn't improve it is?

People seem to be a lot harder work to get updates out of these days unless they are from the country of their NT, so whatever updates even if a season out of date for a side like NZ would have been useful. I still don't know who NZ's best squad is, no where near it.

And the reason you didn't improve it is?

I said you that I send msg for sk-mail and uptaded all the players as possible.

How could I improve?

I think that needs a whole new thread
