Looks good. With players like this you can boost your defense. Now you only need scoring forwards!

Mistfit · 31-01-2006, 23:30

I don't know if this makes me feel better or worse...

It seems that per HatStat USA that I play in the 12th best series (VI.180) in Division VI. This is out of 1024 series in VI.

No wonder I'm having such a hard time

Well a very exciting training day for me! Both of my 20 yr old IM's popped skills today giving me one Brilliant and one Outstanding.

I am begging for your guidance!

Sell one?
Sell both?
How much as a starting price?

These are the guys and their TC's
Ville Borg (

or

- you could have a borg on your team)

Yetkin Canturk

Tell me the timing on thier form was not perfect!

I think I am leaning to selling both. I am currently in first place in my series and have a "decent chance" of promoting this season. I plan on MoTS'ing this weekend and will have one other difficult match the last day of the season.

If I sell them I think I will be ok in the IM posisition even if I do promote because my secondary guys are fairly strong. None have the passing that these 2 do but most are pretty decent at defense.

I dunno what to do... sell one? sell both? hold em till they are 21?

I am very weak in my striker posisition. Both of my starters are basically throw away players at this point due to their age and low stats.

Side Note:
I don't know if this is the way it is around the globe but the timing of the training updates and leage games stinks! You do not have enough time between when the training comes around to put them on the market to sell during the next leage game.

__________________________________________________ ___________________

OK those are my selling questions...
When that is done I hope to have 3-3.5 mil (USD) to play with.

What do you guys suggest for:
1.) new trainees - Do I spend a boat load of cash on new trainees and try to get them as good as I can? Or do I train a very young reletively cheap player to bring them up long term?

2.) I need 2 new strikers... Where should I start to look? What secondaries make the biggest difference?

My thought was to take the sale of both of these guys and spend aprox 1/2 of it on 2 new trainees and 1/2 on new strikers.

HELP!

Both options are ok. You could decide to sell the outstanding guy and keep the brilliant one for a season. There's not much of a best strategy, I think. The major reason to keep them for some time is that you can't miss them, but that's for you to decide. That, and that the transfer market usually isn't at it's best at the end of the season.

Kemal · 17-03-2006, 10:54

Difficult call. As the TC also somewhat shows, the market for IMs is crashing heavily atm, but this most heavily seems to concern single skill IMs, and not those with passing such as yours.

If you really need the cash for better strikers, like shabba I'd sell the outstanding guy since good forwards can also be picked up cheaply these days, and replacing trainees with such good secondaries is not an easy task.

(And concerning the side note, this is indeed the case in all leagues

).

edit: as for new trainees, it heavily depends on what kind of money your sale will get you. For forwards, don't look for secondaries but get the best scoring skill you can afford, and make sure they have a speciality such as quick or unpredictable! (Head is okay as well)
Passing is heavily overrated imo, unless you want to be AIM/AOW-ing all the time, and as for FTWs... dunno they're not my cup of tea but perhaps KR has a different opinion, he uses FTWs with some success it seems.

Mistfit · 17-03-2006, 14:41

Ok how about this then... will my club as a whole be better if I were to sell these guys and buy some really good (for my division) strikers -vs- keeping them

My current forwards are both solid with no special decernable other talents (for referance one is 2.5 star the other is 3)

Shabbaman · 17-03-2006, 14:50

Well, that depends. Midfield passing adds considerably to your offence, so it's depending on what you put in their place. And it's the midfield that generates scoring chances. Still, if you can sell them for the right price, you will get better. So just try to sell them for what you want for them.

If it's possible, try to pick up a forward with passable wing. FTW is great.

Mistfit · 20-03-2006, 03:16

Put them on the Market for a combined 3.5 mil... we will see if they sell

Edit:
Neither of them sold for what I wanted out of them so I guess I will keep them til their next pop and make due with the strikers I have.

Shabbaman · 20-03-2006, 15:15

It's a very bad period... but a very bad period for selling strikers as well. So a good time for buying strikers. You could try again to sell one. Or just keep on training.

Mistfit · 30-05-2006, 16:40

ok here's the deal:

1.) I currently have 875,000 USD in the bank
2.) I have my best IM is on the market now for 2 mil (I hope to get 2.5)
3.) I have lots of needs and need help prioritizing (sp?)

I know I will need a good IM trainee replacement - I'm thinking of a formid 19 yr old with good secondaries so he can jump in sooner rather than later.

I need a stadium upgrade as I sell out every match

I need to win some matches this season or I will auto demote...

What to do?
