I'm doing what I say to others not to do and thatis change tactics. Gonna change one last time to defensive and leave it at that. Gonna stop making so many subs during the match too.

To be honest, I'm at a loss and already starting to think of next season

They're a mess!!
I found Maggio in sitting the corner crying because he thought he was being sold

He totally is.. But he doesn't need to know that.

The Governor

Diego Forlan (89) is available for anyone interested. I'd take a decent 88 or even an youngish 87 with good potential.

Another great display by Gomez since his arrival but have to think I was somewhat lucky with the draw 2 shots on target and 2 goals.. :eek:

I have 2 players with concerns and both want one-off payments of 1 million and a pay raise. I asked before about this situation when it was only 1 player. Now another one has concerns. He says he's not getting enough games but sure I cant play every player every game! I don't have enough in the bank to give them their payments. It's a bit cheeky of them I think. They are both getting appearances now and again, one is actually in my first team while the other is among my subs. Will either of them ease their concerns with this or will they stay concerned? What are my best options?

If the sub comes on in every game his concerns should eventually come down. If you keep the other fella playing his concerns will go down. Only risk is if you took the team over while they already had concerns so are already too far down the line to be reversed.

It's a dumb rule, designed to stop certain managers from hoarding all the good players. Doesn't really work. There's a fella in Gold1 who has pretty much all the best players in that game world. In a game world where you cannot buy good players for love nor money he has:
MESSI, Lionel 99
RONALDO, Cristiano 98
INIESTA, Andrés 97
BUSQUETS, Sergio 95
ALONSO, Xabi 95
SILVA, Thiago 95
PIQUÉ, Gerard 95
RAMOS, Sergio 95
LEWANDOWSKI, Robert 94
HIGUAÍN, Gonzalo 94
AGÜERO, Sergio 94
ROONEY, Wayne 94
BALE, Gareth 94
ALVES, Dani 94
DE ROSSI, Daniele 94
CHIELLINI, Giorgio 94
BUFFON, Gianluigi 94
TÉVEZ, Carlos 93
GÖTZE, Mario 93
MATA, Juan 93
MARCELO, Vieira 93
CAZORLA, Santi 92
BONUCCI, Leonardo 92
HART, Joe 92
KOKE, Jorge 91
CABAYE, Yohan 91
MATIĆ, Nemanja 91
CALLEJÓN, José 90
AUBAMEYANG, Pierre-Emerick 90
MAICON, Douglas 90

He also has 77 players out on loan, 17 of which are rated 90-92

Word on the street is that SM actually introduced the concerns rule to stop this guy from hoarding everyone in Gold1. If that's true they have failed. All he does is rotate them around then he lets them get to Level4 concerns before paying them off. Dumb rule.

Blondie919

Thanks for the advice Baz. Thing is, the sub doesn't come on every game and the other guy is getting games since he became concerned. Whatever happens I will not give either of them their payment as I can't afford to.

Gargano is one of your best players so he needs to play 85% of the games, thats 9 games by matchday 10 and 18 by matchday 22. the next concerns check is matchday 32 and he'll need to of played 28 games.

Jussie needs to play 75% of the matches given he's a sub.... thats 8, 17 and 24 games he needs to play.

most of the time if your close to these numbers they dont complain....

Willow Murphy steered Estudiantes to victory against Cruzeiro.
Estudiantes beat Cruzeiro 2 - 0 in their Division 3 fixture.
Hoilett scored a goal and was later voted Man of the Match for his performance.
Wendt was also on the scoresheet for his side.

What a vital away win against a side level on points with ourselves before kick off. The win also helps keep us in touch with Athletic Club de Bilbao in that automatic promotion spot, should we ever dare to start dreaming!

Nice to see my main man Hoilett continuing on from the last match. Now would be the perfect time for him to really find his scoring touch again.

It seems the concern 5 transfer listing is pointless because the manager still has to accept a deal.

Nope. Once it goes to 5 it's out of the manager's hands and is managed by the chairman. He accepts the deal on the club's behalf. The best deal obvs. In another twist, if you bid for such a deal and it's accepted you can't pull out. The chairmen decide!

Any idea how long it takes for the chairman to do the deal? I bid on a guy days ago and still nothing.

Takes ages I'm afraid. They really draw it out. Have many bid? I tink each bid adds x amount of hours onto the decision process. Whole process will prob take 3-4 days, mayhap more ...

With nearly 3 seasons down now and many of us here from the start or near the start how many people can see themselves playing for another 3 seasons? Or how are people feeling about the game at the moment?

I can see myself staying.
Apart from the hissy fits (Which are always funny) its gotten a lot better since the start.

With a few rule changes I think it'll become even better.

KERSPLAT!

I think I'll still be here, probably in div 2 the way results are going

GT_TDI_150

Im a little bid addicted to the game so ....

Cant see myself quitting it anytime soon

12gauge dave

I had planned to retire after this season but I shall see when seasons over how I feel.
It is very addictive but nothing can last forever
unfortunately.
