Subject: General Sokker discussions

theres so many factors. one decent player who can hit a pass to the striker on the run,
defenders who clear the ball instead of kicking it out of play so you give opposition the ball straight back etc..
karloss's winger dominguetti on form will run through any defender as iv found out..

i do agree though. strikers are the most important. cheap at the moment also, but i have no reason to change out my two.

probably the most important of all is tactics to go with your team. since iv changed out my defenders for slower ones iv noticed that a higher line does not work near as well..

cheap at the moment

I'd rather say bloody expensive Oo

Well done dillage. That's serious progress in 3 years. I tried the Irish only team, as you know, but it didn't work for me.

Thanks buddy. I am sure that the fact that the premier league is weaker now has helped plus you were making it tougher with all players from your own youth school!

its actually not that much weaker at all.
we did have a few ppl leave alright, but i think the actual strength of top clubs has been consistently high.
just the fact of clubs leaving has meant that it hasnt gotten any stronger as such. this is from 2011

shaneteam [del] to Nin [del]
The sponsors paid into club`s account a total of 287 858 €.

Fanclub members: 2710
Mood: Your supporters are madly in love with their club

saarumarc is at that point in fanclub, im 100 off it, so another 1.5 seasons maybe.. im sure karloss has a nice few too.
im also only around 10k off that income in top mood too..

i would love to be there: Fanclub: 2584 (+10 per week atm)

although the madly in love sponsors paid into club`s account a total of 287 752 €. So overall it seems that at least total ranking has increased quit a bit since then, which would support your argument.

Oh fair enough I cant argue with that. I suppose it appears weaker to me without nin & shaneteam as well as a few other older members

Although I wouldnt really dispute what you are saying Kenyard. The average rates per team seem down by about 4/5 points when you compare past seasons (around season 19 or 20!) on:

hmm true but this season we have jag biastuk after leaving so that has dropped average a nice bit.
looking at what you just posted though it does appear that back in the day there it was stronger somewhat. that was to be expected i suppose.
im doing a rebuild of midfield this/next season too so will drop 5 points or so i reckon.

interesting income saarumarc. i have higher fanclub somewhat, not yet top mood yet lower income i think

Aah yes I never accounted for Jag Biastuk! If you remove them the average is 55.744686 which is somewhat better!

Why cant i pick a friendly, have i missed the cut-off time? (The friendly league finished, i thought it would keep going)

apparently you do it on the team page now instead of in match page

Thanks
Edwards is coming along nicely as an U21 player (apart from stamina). What would benefit him most at this stage, a season of passing? I'm training playmaker at the moment but dont want him too lopsided...

Noel Edwards, age: 20
club: Super Athletico, country: Ireland,
value: 560 750 €, wage: 3 650 €,
superdivine form, incredible tactical discipline,
height: 177 cm, weight: 71.6 kg, BMI: 22.85
bookings:

weak stamina tragic keeper
outstanding pace solid defender
outstanding technique incredible playmaker
very good passing weak striker

i think passing would be the best for him.

yeah, i think midfielders need to be even to be effective. i can imagine him be a great winger with many high balls landing anywhere except near the strikers ;-)

interesting to see how many decent mids we have churned out between myself you and saarumarc recently.
welchy has that gem of a striker too now.

ill actually draw up a list of what skills players have at U20 and U19 ages for each positions to show how strong/weak we are sometime this week. i reckon i will keep it to the association topic though..there was a load of decent 18yr old defenders this season too.

cool, do that. nothing better than a decent statistic now and then. also nice to see where each player is ranking atm to see who is still worth keeping.
