I'll keep it in mind, on a lighter note...

Your awesome

Nah man, Laia Grassi is awesome.

Do you have to play friendlies? Don't particularly fancy a friendly against Juventus currently 4th in D1, the day before an actual league match :rolleyes:


EDIT: On checking again they're actually 9th. Point still applies though

Nope you don't have to play friendlies, you can cancel them!

ALSO even if you do play them, it doesn't effect your player's stamina, red cards, yellow cards, injures.. etc etc..:)

Just an update. Have had A lot of bids for Inigo but all will strengthen the bidder's squads but not mine. Will only let him go if my squad is strengthened so no point offering 86 and 87. As said he will go for the right offer

Colemania

Willing to let Vermaelen go for the right offer. No silly bids with players under 88. Would take an 87 with great potential. No cash bids please.

Udinese here

Shanotheslayer

Going to play a few youngsters for the cup game tomorrow along with some newly signed players. Hopefully they get on grand!

Hercule Poirot

Thanks to the guys who loaned me those defenders - got me out of a tight spot where I had little to no cover - I've sent them back as they probably won't get anymore game time under me so someone who might actually use them can have them

Hercule Poirot

Oh and just to throw my two cents in for the new managers here - no player will go for their actual value, as mentioned before try to avoid accepting cash only offers unless they are way over the players value. My tip, especially as the RL transfer window is now open, is to try and spot RL moves that go under the radar, i.e., I signed this guy

http://www.soccermanager.com/player.php?pid=54897

for 380k on 25-JUL as I got word he was moving to Montpellier (not a particularly glamorous club but a much higher standard than his previous club) - on 01-AUG he got a rating bump of +7 and is now worth 2.3m.

Others will tell you to hoard young players in the hope that they will produce future superstars, not a method that appeals to me personally but ye will have to figure what works for you.

KERSPLAT!

For €3.4m you can have him!!

The Governor

Now that I've taken the reins at FC Schalke 04 the following players are available:

Julio Cesar, 91 rated GK

BANEGA, Éver, 90 rated DM,M,AM(C)

Lacina Traore, 88 rated FC who's only 23 and plays for Monaco IRL so maybe an investment for someone!

Would be looking for good younger players.

Wilberto

Alain TRAORÉ has completed his move to Estudiantes from FC Lorient for 2,000,000 plus Oleksandr IAKOVENKO and Jorge CASADO

It's not very often you get the chance to pick up a 25 year old 88 rated player from an external at face value!

Missed out on Lars Stindl to Cruzeiro though despite our offers being remarkably similar!

What's the story with the season in this? Is there a few weeks of off-season or does a new one start almost immediately after the previous one ended?

There's about 2 weeks between them I think

Didnt know that. Changed a lot of players to see how they would get on.

Got a 1 nil win against the might Juve in the friendly but only a draw in the league.

The unbeaten record is still intact though and the climb off the bottom continues though

Yup there's a "contacts list" if you go too the main thread but it needs updating but a lot of it is accurate!

For anyone who receives what they deem a low offer I apologise Im working with severely limited resources here at Stuttgart

Comic Book Guy

Lads, a couple of questions from a soccer manager newbie:

I have 3 players with level 1 concern at the moment. All for the reason of game time. All of them are likely to be in my starting XI so will this issue eventually sort itself out? Until it does sort itself out is it likely to have an impact on their performances?
How are the increases/decreases in player performance done? Think I read somewhere else about nabbing young lads who are linked to mainstream clubs in real life that will have a nice bump in their rating once the real life transfer proceeds.

Apologise for the amateurish type question. I could have said nothing and muddled along until relegation turns to reality and use it as a handy get out a la David Moyes type or I could to a LVG on it and go balls out so to speak and go for it from day 1!!

New Hannover boss here.

This should answer the 1st bit.

The highest rated players expect to play in approximately 85% of games:

9 games by week 10
19 games by week 22
28 games by week 32
33 games by week 38

90+ expect to play in approximately 75% of games:

8 games by week 10
17 games by week 22
24 games by week 32
29 games by week 38

players expecting to be a substitute if you selected your first choice line-up and those rated 89 or above, will expect to play in approximately 30-40% of games:

3-4 games by week 10
7-9 games by week 22
10-13 games by week 32
12-16 games by week 38

goalkeepers 88+ need to play in 90% of games:

9 games by week 10
20 games by week 22
29 games by week 32
35 games by week 38


*sub appearances are only valued at a half an appearance.
*cup games are also added in the 38 games.

Yes by playing the lads their concern will drop and it doesn't affect their preformance in the game, as for ratings it's all real life based. If the lads on fire in real life he'll rise if he's poor, injured , sub Etc he'll fall!

For example a fela could be getting 8's & 9's in the game but retire in real life threw injury and he'll retire in the game too

Injury don't seem to affect a player, at least not for a very long time. Look at Badstuber, I was reading that he hadn't played for Bayern for over 600 days and no drop, that's close to two years!!
