Season 52 - Page 4

Won my cup game to move in to the 5th round. Equalling my best cup run. Looks like it'll end here though as, according to foxtrick, i'm facing the 45th ranked team. To put in to context I am ranked 1036...

Some bastard injured both my number 10's (yes, I play with two technical defensive forwards), so I had to put up with an elderly 10 and an elderly FC. That hurts my attack and midfield ratings, but this sunday I still beat last season's number two. This season's strategy is piccing away and normal at home.

I've bought a nice titanic midfielder for the cup match today. That should give me close to 300 starts and I'm going to mots as well. It'd be nice to beat this strong of a rival.

The question is what to do next when and if I win. I can buy a couple more players for about 3 mil and try to promote myself to Div IV first and then see how it goes. Overall, the prices vs skill are very attractive on the transfer market. So, maybe a good time to buy players. If their salaries are affordable. But so far, it has been quite a bargain.

He played the B team and I won albeit barely. Still, getting to round five give some nice extra income. I think now, I'm toast. Have to play against a number 2 in major league. His A team has about 425 stars and his B team ... is quite possible to beat even in my half-sorry condition.

Any kind of input is appreciated. Looks like I can beat his midfield and I have some cash to invest into whatever makes sense. But if he fields half of his A team, I'm toast. Main hope is for overconfidence of the guy.

Both teams played 0-0 this weekend. Must be pretty seldom. For both teams, this is ok.

First team is still in the cup but every round could be the last...

Won 0-4 to move up to first in the league. I think i have the best team in the league, providing no injury shockers i should be able to win it this year. Whether i can compete at the next level or not is a completely different matter!

@ akots - Close match in score anyway. Congrats on the nice cup run this season. BTW I am surviving in div IV with stats similar to yours

I've actually posted right after the game but then there was a database error and the post just disappeared.

Yes, I had a fair chance even with his substitutions from team A. Too many missed opportunities. It was a good game anyhow, so no regrets for buying these 3 players. I think I'll keep them.

IMO, it is better to be in top 3 spots in Div 5 than somewhere in the second half of Div 4. I had trouble there making cash and keeping the performance. Basically, you don't make any money at all there whereas here, I make around 2-3 mil per season without lifting a finger.

I have been doing surprisingly well in the IVth division I am not in 2nd place and will play against the #1 side at home next week. I should beat him pretty handily. How many seasons will you sit and wait?

I had a look at my finances for the season so far just to see what I could see.

Fan club: 2 438 members
Fan mood: Sending love poems to you (11)
Season expectations: Every day in this division is a bonus (1)

Keep in mind I just won an unexpected match so the love poems is new

Also I have been adding 4-6 fans per update.

Just taking into effect sponsors and match takings (I just ended a double away week which I will make up later in the season with the double home)

Match takings: 1 219 554 US$
Sponsors: 666 210 US$
Total Income: 1 285 754 US$

Wages: 476 750 US$
Staff: 270 000 US$
Other: 18 600 US$
Youth scouting: 100 000 US$
Total Expenses: 865 350 US$

Income: 420 404 US$

This is not fantastic but I have only had 2 home matches this season. I am making close to 1/2 million per home match which I will have five of them to play this season. If I had to guess I would say I will end up making 1.5 mil this season with no player sales.
