    thx man. I was worried that I have to start from scratch and my stadium would smaller than the old one lol but it should expand to 20 000 capacity.

    Got HTRFed in my last gasp at catching the leaders. I'll still probably finish 3rd but it does end my season. I'll have to hire a full staff of doctors to get my winger prospect back on his feet for next week too.

    What's the free-site that tells you where you promote to?

    There are so many holes in that orders system it's not funny. Can't sub in a fullback when you've repositioned your original one, and then you can't tell the central defender which direction to reposition to fill the hole. The limit on orders allowed is too low as well. Should be at least 8 or 9 to cover a variety of scenarios.

    I don't think I have had a game where match orders made any difference beyond the original orders. I just leave mine alone now.

    I sold my goalie and my best winger, didn't replace them, and logged on maybe twice in the last 4 weeks. The result?

    4 straight wins and the league title! Maybe I just need to stop paying attention to my team.

    I just had a revelation that I could get onto Hattrick at my internship..but I finish work on Friday. At least that means this week will go by a bit quicker.

    Well, when it started, there were 4. Now, there are 6-7. I can't remember exactly.

    It's not that impressive. I lost a very harsh qualifier to drop down from Div.V. Subsequently, I ended up in a weak D.VI with a fairly strong team. Since then, all my midfielders popped twice, I bought two strong defenders and one forward with the money I had saved.

    I've got 5 5-star players in my lineup right now, so I'm praying that I can finish top4 in Div.V next season.

    I just had my first 5 star rating a couple weeks ago and I have 3 other players sitting regularly at 4.5. Just bought a MF today who should be in that neighborhood too, so hopefully whenever I can finally escape VI I will stick in V. Unfortunately not only did we get a good V team drop into our series this year, a club that had been behind me decided to open the wallet this season and buy a team. I'm not sure it's sustainable though because their stadium is smaller than mine--I think he/she just lost patience and went on a spending spree. Bad move--they finished 2nd and I wonder how long they can survive in VI with their payroll. Hell, I'm going to have to dump some reserves myself to accommodate my new signing.

    That means that the player began the game at a 2.5-star level, but tired to a 2-star performance by the end of the game.

    So I'm in fifth place going into the last week of the season in my D.V (a REALLY tough D.V), but I'm actually in good shape. Teams in 2nd-5th are within four points of one another, two of those teams are playing one another, and I have a winnable game. I think I have a decent shot to stay up in D.V for the first time. :)

    what is your team, i like to pay attention to MO teams.

    Smurfs FC ..i have a decent shot of promoting to D III in my first season. i just have to decide if i want to go for it or play normal, either way one of us ( i'm in first and the team i play is in second) will auto promote
