Hattrick thread XXV: If everything seems to be going well...

The 4M IM, although I would prbably buy two $2M IM's.

 

Hmm, I can't see my own posts.

 

Man, I put up 289 Hatstats but lost 5-0 as my opponent put up 359.

 

I'm saving up to make a big purchase. Wondering what to buy. I have:

1 Relaible Winger
3 Reliable Defenders
0 Forwards

I guress I'm getting an overpriced forward

 

Scored my 2000th goal in all matches tonight (yes I actually keep track of that stat...)

 

anyone know when subs start in senior team matches, will it be cup round 1?

 

I don't know, we were talking about that in my series forum and a GM said to not expect it. I don't know if he has inside knowledge or what though.

 

that sucks, they've teased us with it for a while...I need some new features to get me excited again.

 

After spending one season in division 5 for the first time in 6 seasons, I'm autopromoting to IV.5. I was in second the whole season but I won the last match away to the first place team who had beaten me in the first game of the season. He had 21 hatstats points on me too. Also, I had a winger become the top scorer of the series with 17 goals. I've never seen a winger become a top scorer. He only has weak scoring and has spent the whole season towards the middle.

 

Series VI.977 Champs
Depew Village FC

14-0-0 88 GF 3 GA +85 42pts

Hopefully, this is the last time I am EVER in D.VI

 

Good job, man.

 

Ahthank you.

Now I'd like to hear a little advice.

I have a coach with disatrous leadership ability but I have a player with solid leadership that I can replace him with for only $500,000. The problem that I have is that I need to get a new keeper and defender and only have $2 055 440 to spend. I'd prefer to get a keeper but don't have the money if I got a new coach. My keeper right now is formidable and I would want to get a brilliant one. My options right now are:
1.) Getting my new coach and then upgrading a defender.
2.) Leaving the coach the same and upgrading the keeper position
3.) Getting my new coach and going latterly with the keeper and just buying a younger one. My current keeper is 31.

So what would you guys do? Option 1 or 2 would probably be my best way to go.

 

I'd vote option one. High Team spirt is a big factor in the game.

 

As far as I know you have to just start winning

 

Team confidence rating is located on the Training page, linked under the Senior Team menu options on your team page.

 

Getting back into HT after a few years away from the game. What's the consensus on a safe start?

Keepers?
IMs?
Def?

 

Midfield is STILL the king in HT.

 

ok... but will I be able to afford to pa 17yo Gks and a solid coach when I start out?

I'm thinking if I train both of them for a couple seasons I could sell one and buy me a proper stable of trainees. Is that a viable strat?

 

Depends on the skill level of the 2 17yo trainees.

Solid skill, not so much. Too expensive to purchase trainees at that level/age combo and get the Solid trainer.

Passable, may be doable, but the Solid trainer is gonna to be $268K to purchase (unless your luck was good and you were gifted one with the team).

 

I'm not sure if I forgot it was Wednesday, or if I forgot that cup matches were on Wednesday...

I didn't PIC!

(Hi everybody)

 

shame shame shame. No pic for you. I piced. Will be nice, I'm not at home yet so I don't know how badly I'm stomping the human.

 

errr...

applied for a team a few days ago, am I supposed to be able to log in, in the interim? I can't...

 

Yeah... not sure if I made the right choices, but I made some.

Got the passable trainer and a mishmash of trainees. 1 17yo and 4 18yos. May stick with 5 until I can change my formation to use all 6 slots. Looking for a good priced 17yo out there.

Not looking to update other personnel yet.

What's the suggestion for staff though?

I was thinking:

2physio
1psycho
1spokes
5assitants
1gkcoach

 

Anybody looking for a youth league? I'm in one that was at eight teams and has dropped to seven. We would like to add a new team. It's an international league, so you don't have to be in the U.S.

 

I cant remember the rule on recent bots teams. The guy i am playing in the cup tomorrow is from my old series V.41 rebels FC

When I check him out it does not say he is a bot but it says the team does not have a human manager.

if I recall teams go bot at the beginning middle and end of season. sooooooo
does that mean that the team will field players based on most recent orders or will I see bot players on Wednesday?
