Thanks so much man!!! So generous :)

Everybody thank Torana!

In other news, just signed the last player I think I need to challenge for third this year. 8mil, 22yo, WC wing and formid PM.

Leaves me with:

WC
brill brill WC brill
WC titanic Super Brill
brill brill


And a relatively young squad too:

22
22 21 22 24
22 21 24 22
25 20


Very happy with that. Sell that 25yo striker next and pick up a gun. Very happy with where I am at. :) Long term planning FTW.

Can anyone tell me how much a solid coach costs?

Great ages there, I have Four 1st teamers at 30 or over lol.

- Solid coach with poor leadership is roughly 540k, you can convert a player with solid experience and bvetter leadership for alot cheaper than he would cost as an external recruit.

But then I've got to wait for 12 months with him in my team before I convert him into a coach don't I?

Nah you just have to have had the player for 1 season which is 14 or 16 weeks i think.

Tbh I'm not sure anyone benefits a HUGE amount from better leadership until they are higher up in the Series pyramid, I bought a Solid/poor coach from external recruitment, then only recently upgraded to a player with solidexp/solid leadership, doesn't effect your training only things like TS i think.

My team is looking like (Ages in brackets):

--------------------------Formidable(32)------------------------------
Formidable(29)------------Outstanding(19)------------------Formidable(30)
Titanic(20)---World Class(30)--World Class(35)--World Class(31)---Magnificent(19)
----------------Outstanding(28)------Formidable(28)------------------

Afro - Plan ahead for coaches. If you know you're going to need a new one in a season, buy a pensioner now who would be suitable so you can convert him later.

If you have no such candidate, just get a solid/poor for the time being. Although far from ideal, paying 2mil+ for a good coach isn't really an option for you

That's planning too far ahead IMO. Disappointing. I was kind of thinking that this season was the time to invest in a new coach while there's not much else going on with my side and I'm waiting for next season.

Don't I have to pay 2m to train them as a coach anyway?

Down 3-0 to this cunt. I'm a lot better than him, but hes got a strong defence and is CAing. Fucking destroying me.

Up 2-0 over this cunt. Im a lot worse than him, but im awesome. Fucking loving it.

:lol:. Lost 4-1. Thats a joke.

lol. Oh well, least I got an extra PIC.

Won 3-0. Hattrick to my new striker :D

Edited by avy1990: 5/5/2010 02:14:03 PM

Lol hattrick just ekeeps screwing people over today, I lost 3-2, even though I had 40 more Hatstats.
I PIC'd with 4 1st teamers, and his tactic of AOW only got Excellent, my foxtrick add-on said that the chances of that result happening were 1.11 % compared to a 97% chance i would win.

Interesting. Won 4-0.

lost 4-0 guy played first no complains there.

my team is that shit it aint worth showing.

Lost 4-0, was expecting that though. Sold out the stadium so I'm happy.

Got enough money to invest in a new coach now too :)

So, who wants a friendly this week?

I'll have one mate.

Ha. My cup match went to Penalties. This is how it played out:

Me: Saved, 0-0
Him: Miss, 0-0
M: Saved, 0-0
H: Miss, 0-0
M: Miss, 0-0
H: Saved, 0-0
M: Miss, 0-0
H: Saved, 0-0
M: Miss, 0-0
H: Saved, 0-0
M: Saved, 0-0
H: Saved, 0-0
M: Miss, 0-0
H: Saved, 0-0
M: Saved, 0-0
H: Scored, 1-0

:shock:

That may well be the worst/best penalty shootout ever.

So whose left in the cup now? Hopefully we can start the 442 League soon.

I'm trying to schedule a friendly this week. I figured there'd be one or two lef this week and things would start next week.

Can we get a draw up?

Still waiting to hear from Ice Man to make sure he's still all good to join. I'll do up some fixtures as soon as i can.

Total Purchases: 117 737 004 AU$
Total Sales: 101 496 522 AU$
Difference: -16 240 482 AU$
Number of transfers: 222
