Subject: Season 71

When I was last relegated, all my over 60 coaches put in for retirement. So a very valid point as getting replacements is very much a lottery.

My relegation season a few seasons ago brought in more money than topping II the season after. The only competitive benefit to being in II was easier to train younger trainees and also easier to put more focus on the cup.

Fair enough, I will ensure I stay up then. :)

U21 Premier title will be decided in the last round. Shame the draw didn't match up the title contenders against each other. It kinda describes this U21 club malarkey: an utter borefest.
I am relegated, which means I can finally withdraw from this. I meant to do it before this season but stayed on out of respect for the other 11 teams in the league, didn't want to ruin the schedule.

I find it irritating that I get to play the same team away twice on the trot at times. lol

However, it's a game, it gives apparently better approximation of talent, it also gives some minimal gate income that covers some of the costs of the school. I also, whether it was by pure chance I have no idea......I got some better youths after joining the youth league again....I hadn't had a decent youth for 5 seasons previously.

Personally I would stay in it JE :)

"U21 Premier title will be decided in the last round. Shame the draw didn't match up the title contenders"

It did it last night, which is obviously a stupid time to do it instead of in the last game.

I have Legia for the 3rd time this season in the Youth League...crazy. lol

I played Padstow about 10 times last season.

All I do with youth league is press "suggest lineup" and then set that as orders. Not worth spending any time on at all.

Yes so many draws and we both got relagated because of it!

I must admit I haven't even tried that, I may do for the last weeks match and see what it brings up ;)

I can't go up or down so it's the perfect time to try it.

I suspect suggested lineup may know things we don't. If you put into your own lineup there's a definite logic to it aside from it ignoring injuries. So it may in turn know hidden skills.

I've been paying close attention to my player skills so let me test that theory.

Well it took out my star striker and replaced him with someone Poor, so I'm going to say no. It doesn't have a clue.
