How'd I get this game? Please explain Cup game to me...

OK.

Every country has a cup. There is a fixed number of teams allowed in the cup that play Knock-out matches (win and go on, lose and you're out). Until in the end one teams wins: the cup. Since you apparently finished high enough to participate you are in the cup. Cup matches are great because: They attract a lot more crowd then friendlies, experience in three times higher then leaguematches and the midweek match actually counts for something! The small downside is that when you lose an early round your supporters will be angry and you are 'forced' to play your best players on the cupmatch so more risk in injurries.

Sweet... Looks like I should at least be able to beat the first guy

What is the deal with the league this week? Do we have matches tomorrow? In one place it said yes in the other it said it was the following week? Do I put a line up together for "matches" or not?

Kingreno · 17-09-2005, 16:41

You should have a match tomorrow!

Anyone who can tell me a bit about transforming players to coaches? I have a 30 year old player with solid exp and passable leadership. Before he retires he could reach excellent exp. Would he be any good as a trainer?

Dell19 · 22-09-2005, 16:21

Yes he would be very useful. Mainly because of the leadership which would allow you to get higher team spirit levels when PICing which increases your potential midfield. I think you are in a lower league though at the moment? So you may want to wait until next season as it will be cheaper to convert him to a coach if he hits excellent experience and you will have the higher leadership when you really need it.

ProPain · 22-09-2005, 20:36

I;m not retiring him anytime soon. Unless he gets seriously injured he has 2 to 3 seasons left of defending for PP SV.

Dell19 · 22-09-2005, 20:42

Coaches can still play for your team though. Basically it would make sense to convert him when you next need a coach, ideally when he is injured as the conversion removes injuries and when you are in a situation where the extra leadership would be useful.

so coaches dont lose their 'normal'playing stats?!?!
