I guess, you picked the wrong thread, aggie?
But yeah, let's spam krys' thread... It's normal that prices go up in the first let's say 3 weeks of the season. And wingers are currently really not cheap...I would like to buy one too, but if you also look for sideskills, then it's quite hard. Let's wait and see whether the genral downwar trend is stopped, I guess it's at least slowed down.

The ones that I bought were steals for sure. I got them after the players aged so they were 17yos with passable+ winger
Code:

After last night's defeat (very unlucky), I'm trying to find ways to optimize my chances of victory for my next match, as we're all playing the same opponent as the one from this weekend. My goal is to finish #1 at all cost, no less. My opponent became #1 yesterday, but I'm just 1 point behind, because he got a draw a few weeks ago. So, if I win next match against him, I get back to #1, and then it's up to me to win the other matches. The problem is I play #3 just after that, so I just can't rely on a MOTS next week and a bit of luck.
I need to buy players and I have about 500k to 600k for that. Probably 2 players could do the trick. What kind of players should I buy and at what cost ? What tactics should I use ? I can give some info on my current players if needed. Thanks in advance.

If the goal is win at all costs, here are what suggestions I would make: Your 3rd IM definately needs improvement as does your 2nd forward. Personally I would suggest buying some high experience beer leaguers in decent form.
Example: I have this guy on the market right now for $25K 30 years, solid form, healthy A controversial person who is temperamental and upright. Has poor experience and inadequate leadership abilities. Speciality: Powerful Nationality: flag USA Total Skill Index (TSI): 870 Wage: 720 US$/week Owner: hunting_penguins Warnings: 0 Injuries: Healthy Stamina: formidable Goalkeeping: wretched Playmaking: solid Passing: poor Winger: inadequate Defending: weak Scoring: weak Set Pieces: weak He would get you 3 stars which could push you over the top. You can probably find better, but this is the type of player I suggest looking for solid with experience and not settling for low stamina. You should be able to patch these two gaps for around $50-$100K depending on how good you go (money goes farther in the offseason so save it till then) As far as tactics: attack on the wings, your ratings dominated him there, use it to your advantage he seems to not vary his lineup much and the home advantage should help you as well. That was a hard loss, but that's the best I can come up with for avoiding a repeat.

Your midfield is in bad shape. You should easily find players with 3 stars at least. Solid playmaking, passable passing, excellent stamina, solid form should do the trick for a relative small sum. I'd go for 2 or 3 strong midfielders.
Just to show you what you can get for 250000 euro: Quote:

I got me a new IM at the beginning of the week, but wasn't able to find a decent FW at a decent price. Anyway, here is the new Olympian, bought for 376,400 € (5,040 TSI by then) :

Weak form, passable stamina. This is a buy for the long term but then his age is a bit high...

One of my trainee got injured last night, this is the first time it happens for me, and I don't know what to do. I'm training Winger, and the guy plays as a full back, ie. only half a trainee. He got a 3-week injury. Should I forget the spot ? Should I buy another trainee in the meantime ?

I'd leave the spot open, a 50% training spot is not worth much, and getting a trainee-replacement that pops within one training (your original one will be back in 2 weeks) is difficult and timeconsuming. Finally, profits will not be that big in the end anyway for only a single pop.
