Season 54
 

1st team is second after 2 wins and a draw. out of cup in round 3 :-(
2nd team is 3rd after 2 wins and a loss. Out of cup in round 2.

Soudn finances for both.

Barbiers only lasted 2 rounds in the cup.

This week, I finaly won a game. Unfortunatly, my replacement forward I just bought got injured for 3 weeks. So again I'm out of forward and will need to go to the transfer market if I want to score some goals in the weeks to come.

Same thing here. I stumbled upon a 300-star team wintering in Div6 apparently losing the league intentionally. Otherwise, our league finally got degraded down due to multiple people leaving the game. There are 3 teams left with any reasonable players this season. I think, I'm going to promote to Div4 or at least give it an honest try. Otherwise, it gets too boring even for my taste.

I'm almost done with keeper training bringing my best guy to utopian. But recently, a bizarre thing happened. He dropped down from magical (where he was for quite some time, like half a season) to mythical for no apparent reason being 21+ years of age:

Oh, well, more BS. I changed training to set pieces for 3 weeks and here is the result. Apparently some kind of new bug or whatever.

Skilldrops are not only age dependent they are also skill dependent. with higher skills dropping quicker.

Still, 21 years of age is a bit too much IMHO. However, I fully realize this opinion of mine is of no consequence to anything.

The skill related drops are pretty slow below divine IIRC, so you just had bad luck, that he was only slightly above the level line.

Anyway:

Both teams are looking good in the league (place 1 and 2) and both still in the cup.

Unlucky loss for 1st team (1-2), very lucky win for second team (2-0)

The guy is back after one week of training.

Bad luck in league though. Lost an even or slightly better game to number 2. Probably, I won't promote this season after all.

first team had a draw, 2nd team had a lucky win, but opponentes in the Dutch VII are not thniking about their line-ups sometime. counter with 65% possesion seems kind of counter productive to me.

First team lost unlucky in the league, but won away in the cup.
Next cup opponent is 1st in another Vth league, pays 100K more in salaries and gets the home advantage... that will be the end.

2nd team had a great cup run, beating two teams from 2nd league level and losing only 0-2 against the 3rd of 1st league.
In the league, the matches against the opponents for place 2 were won.
