Well played on getting the league mate, hopefully I'll give you more of a challenge next season

I'm planning on making it difficult for you. This weekend was the first game in about 5 weeks where I picked my strongest team. I've been busy making sure that as many players as possible get high average form and 100% match experience ready for (hopefully) plenty of skill updates before next season.

I'm liking the squad development aspect of this game, just a shame that that element moves so slowly.

Davey_Pitch · 21-01-2008, 14:44

Aye, I know what you mean. I've got a bit of money to spend so I may well buy someone when the transfer window opens up, as my squad is good but definitely needs improving in some areas.

Just had a quick look at your squad. You really should have given your 2 youth defenders a few games. Wouldn't have taken more than 3-4 matches to get them up to 100%, then they'd just have needed the occasional form training and they'd have been almost sure of getting a skill increase, maybe even 2 bars. As it is their season has been pretty much wasted.

I know, I realised that when it was too late. I'll have to try and sort them out next season

I plan on picking some ridiculous formation like 3-4-3 offensive for the final game just to see what happens.
I need double figures to match your GD right?

kaiowas · 21-01-2008, 21:31

Need a 17 goal swing over both matches. (Ie you win 9-0 and I lose 8-0)

16 goals will bring it down to goals scored in which I suspect you need to score most if not all of those 16 (without looking at the numbers)

Pumpkinstew · 22-01-2008, 00:29

OK. I'm gunning for 23-0 then. 1-4-4 formation

kaiowas · 22-01-2008, 10:13

I reckon you'll stand a better chance with 10 outfield players.

It's tactical insights like that that make the difference between first and second you know

kaiowas · 29-01-2008, 14:34

Woo, change report day.

Must admit to being a little disappointed, was my first ever change report and I was expecting more players to show a visible skill increase. Still my squad is looking in decent shape for the new season.

How'd everyone else get on? Oh and when are you starting the next season Davey?
