anyone signed up for this

your actually the player in this

or if you pay £20 a year you can run the team as well as being a player

so if anyone joins the game let me know i will sign up up for the team i am running and will offer you more money than your worth

looks good..I've just signed up

whats you id number i will send you a contract

55893 just got it through today

contract on its way

boldie i am going to start you off as a full back so if you want to train as if your a full back it will be good for you and the team and me

also maksure you interact all the green stuff with the other players in the team

full back?...pftttt I'm a flair player, me!...full back indeed...my shirt will get dirty from all the tackles and I won't look flash!

I'm joining - and I'm not being a flippin' full back either!

ok I have started the full back training...or what I think it should be anyways :)..what do you mean interact all the green stuff?

pfft, flair player indeed, Gaffer's pet more like.

Mr. Ironside, my agent will get back to you when my account is validated.

In the meantime he says "make the offer a good one or I'll start touting the lad to other clubs."

you will get same money as boldie and if your guy comes out a central he can play forward or midfield

boldie's came out as r/l and as i use wing backs not wingers he is a full back untill i can get wing backs going

My agent says "same money as a full back, this guy's the next Roy Keane!"

tell your agent your a raw recruit with no skills you get what your given or you can take the basic with a managerless team


money will go up once i work out the budgets

My agent says "My player looks forward to a long, lucrative, successful career under your wise stewardship (or at least, that'll do until the next transfer window)."

I'm signing up, just thinking of an awesome name...

how's about...bongo bongo!

they pick your players name

In which case, I'm going to pick my agent's name..... erm... he's a Scandie.... gottit.... Cash Sanderbung

So you have a First Name, Last Name, Display Name, and User Name... and they pick your dude?

Overcomplicatedaments!

they give you a list of about 20 player names

Well I've signed up.

when you get your id number let me know i will offer contract hopefully in time for this weekends games

wohooo i got 2 quailty players wishing to sign 1 upfront and 1 in defence should enable us newbies a chance to devolop

Well I wouldn't call myself a quality player yet so..easy off with the pressure there chief!

got the striker his mate is going to sign his deal tonight

we do need a keeper though if any of you guys signing up want to play inbetween the sticks

I have been accepted, does it matter which player I pick, or is that just a name?

My id is 43463, so make me an offer ;)

Hello Mr. Ironside, Cash Sanderbung here, my boy Steve Bradley is ready to discuss terms. 52704 is the relevant id.

Does fitness go back up on its own? If not how often do I need to train it?

What's with the tackling, finishing, finishing training on thursday, surely it should be all finishing! ;)

from what I understand you have to train the fitness (by having fun training)..staying at home gives you most so that's what I'm doing 2 of on friday

What does the fitness training do then?  ;carlocitrone;

apparently staying at home gets you fit :)

no surprise Iron likes this game ;)

A goal keeper has been spotted, he wants long and lucrative. Validation awaited.

Blimey - good luck to you all if you are leaving Ironside in charge of the budget!!

guys we are going to kick butt every good play on the game seems to be asking me for a contract i will sort robert and diva out when i get home tonight or tomorrow morning

hoping to get a sqaud of around 15 players to give everyone a game with some cover for fitness

if bongo doesnt change his mind on being a striker i have 3 good strikers + him

really need 1 more wingback and another cover for defence and 1 MID + cover and we have world beating team

got a request for contract from one mid yesterday that would walk into most national teams so

we migh have some fun

After extensive discussions with ironside yesterday we decided I'd be a striker, as we only had 1.

Today we have 4...

lmao

Iron, welsh players:

3 GK
8 Def
7 Mid
4 F

:P

When do we get paid?

I think I've been paid...though not enough..500£ a week indeed..some people in the team are on 2k...that's just wrong!

lol, they are decent players though, it's ironmug's £1k a week that is galling!

I just hired a personal trainer and clean forgot I'd have to pay lodgings in Aberdeen, so will probably have committed suicide before my first pay check.

Either that or turn up to training off my head on buckfast.

I was goig t go with a personal trainer but 5k is all I've got...actually slightly less :(

you get paid the same day as expenses go out

once i work out the balance i will give the lower paid players a rise

diva for some unknown reason it wont allow me to send you through a proper contract

it says your only worth £5 a week

do a search for aberdeen and send through a request for £500 with £250 match bonus and £125 for the other bonuses and i will accept the request

is it becos I es black?
Cash Sanderbung says "congrats, you are about to sign a star!"

yeah right

seems to be a problem with the game i am trying to get in touch with the game admins

i have about £50,000 spare wages a month but its limiting me to £5 per person


think its because one of the guys signed up with no wage

when its sorted i will sign you diva sorry for the wait

There is something in the rules about the lowest wage in the team affecting what offers you can make.

indeed. 10x I think it is..just sack the lowest paid guy and be done :)

damm i ddint see that rule i will sack him and rehire him

Can't you just renegotiate his contract?

O'Rourke down to 5% fitness now... does that mean I might get a game? ;)

i couldnt reneg his contract for 2 weeks then it would still be another 2 weeks before i could get him upto £50 meaning 4 weeks or more before i could sign players
i sacked him and told him i will bring him back if he wants later

as he was a striker your in the team and diva is signed just need keeper HM to sign and we are looking good

My brother will join tonight.

He would like to be a centre mid. Take it that will be fine?

And can I have a better shirt number now? :P

Cash Sanderbung says "I can't believe the club isn't paying accomodation for its non-Aberdeen based players"
Steve Bradley says "Apparently we don't own Scotland anymore, can you Jocks fill me in with what you've done with the place, so I can adapt?"

no.23 pls gaffer!

p.s. Oi Bongo, doesn't your brother know Steve Bradley is the next Roy Keane/Stan Bowles. If he wants to compete with me for a place, pls let him know I'm left-footed, so in the interests of team harmony and all that, he might want tone a right footer.

p.p.s. Any of my non-striking teammates fancy going down the dogs every other third Friday training session?

lol firstpopaments.

Looking forward to the threashing we'll all get next game now.

celtic will hammer us about 9-0

myself and boldie have been called up to the national under 18 team

along with team mate kai semper and the striker i let go

i am sighning up 2 this is there any potition ure short of

There are 12 U18s in Wales, so hopefully I'll get a call up too.

Looking at the (team's) squad we have (in terms of human players):

LB
CD
CD

CM
CM
L/CM

CF
CF
CF

RobertHM is signing up as GK, so I think we need a right back...

ill sighn up as right back then doing it now

You're training defines what position you play. You'll have a day or so before you're approved, so if I'm wrong Iron will shout up.

ive sighned up so ill train right sided once im validated

I'd say there's no need to train right sided - Iron will play you there and you'll gain experience that way. Spend all your training sessions on useful activities.

okey dokey once im validated ill read up on it

diva will be left back with boldie swaping to right side (so they macth there feet)

Diva said he wanted to be Centre Mid?

yep :)

if diva is CM then i have a LB or rb available

ill play anywere just waiting 2 be validated

Yep. CM here. Picked left foot as I remember something about you wanting to play with wingbacks eventually, so I though I could play on the left hand side of the three CMs.

Cash Sanderbung adds: "My boy is no left back!"

i will be playing with Wing backs against the 5 bots and full backs against the humans who will murder us

Cash Sanderbung says "My boy is happy to do his duty when it comes to squad rotation (in other words, if it looks like there's no chance of a bonus, we're happy to sit this one out)"

we have 10 players +dunk and bongo jr

so everyone will get a game but not 90 mins week in week out

those that look after themselves the most will get the more playing time

Shouldn't you be organising friendlies too? :P

there will be friendlies but this week i need to work out if we have players

Giss a game Boss

u will get one on saturday you numpty

Genie, Genie, tell us a joke, Genie, tell us a joke!!!

I got called up for the Welsh U18s today :)

I've made plenty friends in the team..about the only thing I've done well that I've noticed lol

keep trying with the releationships once you get it up its easy to maintain

bongos been called up to wales i presume the under 18s

the pits (our ground) is hosting a under 18 home international against england

Yep, U18s.

Iron, if you tell me about life in Scotland my adaptability will go up quicker!

i do everytime i talk to you

Ahh, the last actions bit listed everything but that!

Shouldn't I be F C not F R? :P

you are FC FR is further out

when i was putting you in position it said FC

anyway your the left of the 3 strikers

any of you artisits want to take the chip out of the blonde banner and turn it into a badge for our team

might aswell get blonde some free advertising

I'll send you the chip mug... I have it on its own :P

"44:46': Gene LeBlanc seems to be really underperforming today..."

ffs, compared to when? Its his first game!

Anyway there's the whole of the 2nd half to pull back those 5 goals

i blame our goalie

i blame everyone that got less than a 5 rating

so that the lot of you

apart from myself Kai and benjamin

i did predict an 8 nil defeat so i think the 3 players named above saved us a hammering

oh sure..blame it on the Dutch guy! ;)

I'm training fitness so it won't happen again, boss.

Bankruptcy lessons with bongo!

I just did the daily friendship building for the team, got to the last one and realised it said "this is an international phone call and will cost £25 per interaction". It was then I realised the national team had shipped me out to Singapore!

So that's 10*25*5 (or is it 6?) I just spent.

:(

oops

lmao Welshcallaments

scotland 18 and 21s got mugged today

I think everyone should prioritise talking about Scotland to the non scots in the team - it seems a high adaptability helps to get the friendship % up...

we need to just get everyone talking day in day out

but hard to do when they are overseas with there NT

Get skype FFS

Unless you've just given yourself a 150 quid pay rise! No offence gaffer but are you having a laugh?

really?..did Ironfishy do that?

I'm pretty sure he had a salary of 1049 when he hired us and it is 1225 now! Presumably, the new and improved contracts we've been promised will gives parity. I think the club should also pay our housing costs if we've had to move to Aberdeen. I'm freezing my nadgers off every time I go for a training run!

hmm..I might have to change my status at the club to being unhappy with the manager ;)

Well, I'm fair-minded, so I'll give him 24 hours to sort us all out with new contracts before I get the local PFA rep on the case ;)

I've been ribbing him about his wages since day 1.

It seems the game sets them automatically to prevent abuse... I think it must be broken!

sorry guys i dont do my own contract

but you will all get a better contract after our first home league game

i have signed for glasgow borough, a left winger with a non existent life style with terrible experience, not for long

Iron - my brother's id is 43366.

He'd like to me a centre mid, so if you can play him there when you play him it will be appreciated.

Hopefully we'll be able to rotate a bit, keep up our fitness and tweak the formation tactically now!

btw, i need you to play me this w/e so i have enough money to pay my phone bill!

no worries i will send him a copntract

what happened to dunk?

i think we need 16-20 player to keep fitness up means we wont all play every game but we should all get 1 game a week and subs can be made too

Cheers chap.

Popped again today, hoping for 2 more pops before the end of the week too!

I got myself a personal trainer !..wooohooo 5k poorly spent! :)

Personal trainer? Pah, daddy wants a new motorbike!

Mind you, a PT would be a good idea for that dodgy keeper of ours... ;)

diva - could you talk to me about England chap?

It seems the more adaptability you have in common - even if for a different country - the easier it is to get that friend % up.

alot of players are popping now which is good alot along the lines of team training

benjimin douglas could be getting sacked soon if he keeps complaining and does such a crap training schedule

Where is he complaining?

he sent me a PM saying he is the 2nd best defender and should be playing CB

also has his status as unhappy at way mamager is instructing him to play

i might give him boot soon

this worth playing? if so, I'll be a keeper?

robertHM is a keeper

your more than welcome to be my 2nd keeper then i can give you both a game a week so your fitness doesnt get killed

looks like we need a LB i got another complaint from him today so said he was free to leave if he wants

the manager or rangers has offered me £500 for him i said he could have him for nothing

so if he accepts personal terms he is out of there

halving my match fees?!?!?!?

I think I will be looking for a move.

Already sorted

we will have 2 people for every postion as soon as i can sort it match fee lose will be more than made up by better contracts

might play LB then ;)

that will be good

well just waiting to get my player then I'll sort it all out!!

Most certainly. Lesson 32 "Why civilisation ends at Shrewsbury" ;)

My money seems to have gone up at the weekly finance update thingy.

I await my arrest for phreaking!

I've got £19 left! But I do have Good threads, tunes and a mobe!

(Better get a match fee or I'll be sleeping rough next week - Doh!)

Hey Genie! I had a word with the England U18 manager and he says you are in the frame for a call up once you sort your morale out - so don't forget to tell those dour Jock teammates of ours some jokes every day!

I have 50£ or so left after getting a Personal trainer..but I'll geta  match..my fitness should be 100% and morale is top..I'm getting a game :)

diva the best thing to do with your money is trey and get the best possible PT then worry about threads or you will end up like nicky butt all promise no performance

asa and dunk we need you

still waiting to be activated grrr

See above comment about dour jocks! Some of us have style y'know!

Besides my manager is a genius and is proving me with a perfect training pattern so don't need a PT yet. Mind you, there is no guarantee that will last so once I've got a new bike I'll call 118 118 for my very own Mr. Motivator :)

P. S. Lend us a few quid till next payday boss, bleedin' landlady wants the rent and she's giving me the right earhole. Or, better still, settle up for me willya!

right have finally got my player

step forward david regan ( 52341)

Come get me ironside!

contract sent

all done and dusted. just need to sort out my training plan now. Any suggestions?

where you want to play?

thought we were going to fill the gap at left back..

i need a 2nd team if you want to play LB then that will be good

have a look at team training and try and match where you need

where you dont (finishing) try fitness

remember to interact today folks

a new signing today not a star but a good we player for our standard of league

please interact with him and make him feel welcome

if we could only get that 2nd goalie and a few more defenders

and what happened to dunk?

Hey Bongo, I see the gaffer has brought in two cheap Romanians to take our places in the league XI.  Think I might have to give Cash Sanderbung a call soon - at least you've got international games to play!
This new contract offer better be on the money...

christ..spend time building a friendship upto 100% and the gaffer sells him to another club.

yeah, well, he did try and take the gaffer's place in the team!

that's why he was my mate ;)

Think you should be all right, we have 5 mids at the minute, 2 play for the nats so you'll play in the league (if you want).

I'm happy just playing one game a week.

I'm currently thinking about how much of the team training I should follow...

Training rules for fitness are:
You'll get a 2% penalization if you have a full team training or a normal bot training and only 1% if you train at 75% (ie train differently to the team).

You also get a training penalty for every % your fitness is below 90%.

So we want to get the highest amount of training possible, and also to keep the fitness high.

Less fitness hit = less fitness sessions = more training sessions.

What's the optimum level?

Any ideas? ;)

the idea is to get 1 game per week + NT game

the newbies like myself and bongo NT will rest at weekends

but i still need 4 defenders a GK and 3 MIDs to give me a 22 man squad that i need

remember i play with 4 CM so we need 8 of you at present i have 3 good CM and 2 17 year olds

as per your PM i plan on making you a AM diva and playing you league matches due to you being crap and not in the english NT

Dribbling pop for me today, down to 49% fitness though! :(

how do you guys train? I only have 1 day fitness and 1 day stamina now, the rest is tackling as I want to get that up ASAP. I'll change some training to "going out" when my morale requires it..but I've only had 1 tackling pop..how long does a skill take to pop when you train it intensively

Cheers. I'll have to skip the odd league game to train Game vision at a high percentage but otherwise I'm happy to play anywhere in the diamond, as an anchor, as a bob2box or in the hole on Saturdays. After tonight's game I'd like to avoid friendlies cheers.  Agree that until I've decrapped, playing in the hole (oi diva, give the ball to Josh) is an inspired plan oh guru gaffer.

Seems the first skill pop takes around 6 sessions, second - bit more (but they may be to do with low fitness).

Last week I had 1 going out session and 5 fitness, this week I'm hoping for one fitness day and the rest all skills (and see what the morale hit is like - hopefully I can get my friendships up and counterbalance it!).

I was going intensively on finishing, but they are a few other skills I want to get up (Speed, Dribbling, some Technique is vital for all players) and other things I think are important (Positioning this week) that I will train when there is a team training slot available.

I have begun to get a handle on it. Basically, my intention is to train fitness on Sundays when I play on Saturday, or on Monday or Tuesday when I don't then match the gaffer's masterplan the rest of Monday through Thursday, a bit of fitness if I'm playing Saturday, or a non-schemed skill if I'm not Fridays then two tackling and a having fun every Saturday.

Repeat until I'm 20,which is when the age penalty kicks in. By then I should be able to afford a decent PT and have goodish all round skills. Then I'll adopt my own training plan suitable to the Xp I've gathered, role in the team and general fancy.

Go Aberdeen!

positioning is important, so you might think about matching the team training when it is on the schedule.

The problem with that is you won't get the bonus for training 3 skills in a row, which is why I'd prefer to train fitness in blocks!

eh? are you talking about tackling, cos all the others are in blocks of three as far as I can see. But I'll train tackling more often than other skills so it will keep pace with them, if not outstrp them. 8 sessions with part bonus  instead of 6 with max bonus over a four week cycle. Any skill training I can do on a Friday I see as a bonus.

 ;booder;

well he did ask!

So you think we need 6 fitness a week?

Does anyone know what stamina actually does? The rules don't mention it at all!

well, I did this week and went from 40 odd to 95. My Friday fitness sessions are flexible - if it's clear I'll only need 1 or 2 then I'll do some extra skills training. Did think about asking the gaffer to run team fitness on Sunday but not sure the extra benefit of matching would mean you only need the one day.

stamina usually acts as a modifier to other skills in this type of game.

I'm just wondering if it will have some other effect - e.g. less fitness loss from games, more fitness recovered etc.

Must be worth trying out a team fitness training one day

stamina means your fitness won't drop as much as it does now after a game. (that's one of the things i remember reading :)

there is no option for team fitness training so train it when you are below 90% and you dont fancy the team training

defence wise we are still 4 short so all defenders will play the first team games untill i get replacements then those of us that are 17 will just play NT and friendlies

diva aint in NT so he will get first team football

the rest will make do with friendlies unless they lose there NT spot and there fitness recovers

new contracts are awaiting signing

sign ASAP to take advantage of pay day and the housing benifit

Dude - seeing as i'm not going to be playing much shouldn't i be "prospect for the future"?

thats what i offered didnt i?

It doesn't say actually... I just saw the bit under current contract whilst skimming to look for the role!

Sorry chap ;)

we got ourself a 1st team goalie

we need a DL a DR and a DC before the match on saturday or we will get beat by quite a few goals

i dont think we will get them but i am hopefull

this are my transfer targets

just waiting for them to accept contract or choose anotehr team

http://www3.footstar.org/ver_jogador.asp?jog_id=646
http://www3.footstar.org/ver_jogador.asp?jog_id=26514

and this guys sale goes through on the 27th when he picks a contract to accept
http://www3.footstar.org/ver_jogador.asp?jog_id=3700

think i might need to let the GK go he is already telling me that the whole training set up is wrong

and that he is going to go find me some proper players for the team

oh and quote


you guys better dust off your training shoes and tracksuit no time for hiding now

lol, let's see what he says.

Then Diva and I do some maths! ;)

what you think of my transfer targets?


if we get them we are the favourites for the title

I think we don't needs to win the title this year, we need to win it in three season's time and the club's training should be dedicated to bringing on the next generation of superstars like Steve, Hal, Gene, Charles, Phil, David and the next generation of competent journeymen like Douglas.
Just agree with the goalie but do nothing.

God, I was grumpy this morning. The sceptic looks a cracking player, the goalie seems a character and I'm sure you can handle him. Besides, I'm sure you've seen too many Jock managers stifle their prospects by filling their first team with mediocre imports on inflated wages to repeat the same mistake ;)

We have 3 keepers now?  :dontask:

dont you just hate that

i bid for bravo about 8 days ago

he must of been on holiday or something cause he just signed the contract today

grrrrrrrrrrrrr might get robert to restart his player and come join me in defence

we are going to win the league this year

What makes you so sure? ;)

oh dear we lost our portuguesse goalie

who was proberly better than our new goalie

but would off been more hassle

he asked for a release of contract at no penalty

Or you could have just got rid of the new guy, lolz

yeah could of but i logged in and saw he offered me a realease

the new guy would of cost me money to get rid of


and the new guy has speed the porutese guy didnt

D. Quick is drugs bust shocker!

http://footsteps.ath.cx/team.php?id=2353&sort=eff

Shows our teams training efficiency.

Highest in the world is about 85%.

I'm thinking of ways to get it up!

Although now my relationships are gaining me morale I should be able to avoid having fun which will help, and I'm getting the swing of fitness now.

I'll let you know if I come up with any interesting thoughts!

I could do with some pointers I think. I am esentially only training fitness (1 day) 1 day stamina and the rest tackling but till only train at 24%?

I also interact wih everybody everyday but find not every body does that with me..this means my morale drops and I have to waste training on Having fun training..please interact guys, it keeps my morale at 100%

Your fitness seems OK too.

What is your training schedule? Do you train in groups of 3?

I think you could boost your eff by training the useful team training skills when available.

I train with the team Mon-Wed + Friday. Would train thursday too but think fitness may need a boost by then!

My calcs are that you need 4-5 fitness sessions a week, depending on how much you fitness you lose from a match (ie a whole day and a bit).

My fitnes is OK because I trained it 3 times today. I have been playing 3 games a week. 2 with the team and 1 U18 game every week and it's costing me in fitness.

I train stamina and tackling with the team and do everything in blocks of 3 (Other than having fun, which i didn't do last week but will do this week for 2 sessions..so will stick one extra fitness in on that day)

you will only be playing twice a week

change monday to speed 3 times

oki

also dont become tackling only try and devolop passing heading postioning etc etc when they are on Team training

oh and for scotish frienldies change your indivual orders to try not to tire

bongo you need to be carefull with them phone calls you aint getting anotehr  payrise just yet

I'm going on the assumption that it as it didn't cost me money last time, then it won't this time ;)

if i go bankraupt its your fault

thinking we might not have to pay for a call if we dont have a phone

and then it goes on steve bradleys bills

Has anyone seen my mobile, I'm sure it was in my jacket pocket but I can't find it anywhere!

Iron, any chance you could move the team training around a bit?

Currently I get very little benefit from Monday's training as I'm away every week...

Same for Thursday as I need fitness by then...

Would be nice if you can move Monday and Thursday to Sat and Sun, then I would get the most benefit from the training (without reducing anyone elses?).

hang on a minute! Just swap Speed and Stamina around every week - leave the Wednesday and Thursday training alone please!!!

Then I wouldn't be able to train stamina every week...

Would it disadvantage you massively to have these moved round?

sunday should be fitness after the game (so that you get fitness over 90 for full benifit or taining)

you should still get training while your away on duty


i will be changing the training on thursday when we should have had the wed/thursday for 2 weeks

a good training day today

The player Steve Bradley has raised to 1 on the Speed skill 
The player Cornel Vais has raised to 2 on the Heading skill 
The player Maksymilian Maciejkowski has raised to 7 on the Speed skill 
The player Trent Taylor has raised to 10 on the Speed skill 
The player David Regan has raised to 1 on the Speed skill 

I don't play on saturday, so sunday shouldn't be fitness for me... something useful will be nice.

I only get individual training and not team training when away with the NT, so having something in the team training that I don't need to train would benefit me...

I do play weds so something I don't want on thursday would benefit me too!

ok i'll try and get something sorted

it should be easier when i get the final few players into the team

Thanks - as I said I don't want extra training, just a better arrangement for me.

I'm sure we can work it so everyone's eff % goes up! ;)

I'd be happy to have Tackling on Tuesday and Stamina on Saturday.  I suspect our rookie defenders might kick off about it tho'  But then again, it suits me fine as it is now!

That wouldn't really help me (although it wouldn't hinder me!)

tackling is important for defenders and midfielders and as all our defence and alot of the modfield play international tackling cant be a tuesdays

if you play your international on not getting tired then tuesday training isnt too much of a problem

How about Sunday Stamina, Monday Game Vision and Tuesday Speed?

how ever we do it people are going to miss trainign days when they have to train fitness etc

just a thought but why dont we all train fitness on the days we are playing internationals

That was what I said...

but as we all need speed it seems silly to have everyone miss out on that when it could be something less useful there!

exactly, you lot train fitness and Future Star Playmaker Steve Bradley will train Game Vision, aligned with TT.
and we'll all libe happily ever after.

What's the plan for the friendly?

I'd rather play for as little time as possible... I think I've got a training regime sorted and I'm trying not to train fitness again before monday!

i havent enough players to make subs for the friendly

i am having to play myself tomorrow and saturday unless i can get more players

i cant sign new players untill the ones i have offered contracts refuse the offer

or i get whay happened with the keeper

new training scheme will start on sunday to be announce on thursday

We have 4 strikers...

Why aren't all 4 playing 1.5 games a week?

4 Strikers and a bot! ;)

we have 4 strikers and only 2 spots per game for them

I'm a bit confused... we have 4 human strikers + 1 bot, so how do we not have enough players for me to play only 1 half (or only 1 minute if someone wants a full game)?

Agreed we need more players... wouldn't you be better off playing a bot in your space rather than playing too many matches?

as the bot is needed elswhere or we would have more than one person playing 3 times a week

we dont have enough bots

 Acok gaffer, you need a policy. I don't want to playoff thanone minute of friendlies, particularly if Josh is going to risk our morale like last week!!!

how did josn muck our morale last week?

and are you saying you want in the friendly or the league match?

sorry, too many beers celebrating the lads crushing 2-0 win over Brum.

What I meant was, if we are going to be overmatched in friendlies perhaps best to play all bots as the XP gain can't possibly be worth the fitness and morale hit. Right, I'll just sort the language above out and then we can move on...

 Update on training. We are advised not to let fitness fall below 72%

 Just realised I didn't answer your question. I'd like to miss the friendly this week and play Saturday. Cheers Gaffer!

john russell a scots 17 year old should be joining

please check your team talk

10% fitness even with avoid getting tired!

How much cash does a friendly bring us?

20k

I'm sure you know what I'm thinking... ;)

I'd certainly be willing to take a pay cut to not play friendlies (at least for a while!)... I'm only saving for a personal trainer anyway!

Looking long term the more we can train the better we will be, losing 5 training slots for no real gain just seems like a silly idea to me :dontask:

got another 17 year old scot today

hoping to get more players so we can gets subs

how many bots we got?

Think you need to have a word with him gaffer, looks like he's training "defender" and "forward" to me, rather than actual skills!

he is training all sorts of rubbish (not forward though) and 3 differnt things per day

we have about 5or 6 bots i think

I see, how many subs can we make in a friendly?

feel free not to play me in any friendies Boss. :)

Everytime we sign a new player it seems we lose a bot...

I think it's unlimited subs in friendlies.

Don't sign anyone else then!!!
play Gene, the five bots and ten of the younger squad playing 45 mins each (that's about 5-6% fitness each on avoid) and pick opponents we can beat! That's the wages for the u18s sorted!

Sorry for all the exclamation marks but we ain't gonna win the league this season so why splash out more in wages on poxy friendlies when all the youngsters can either play internationals or, in mine and Regan's case, on a Saturday.
Good idea? Bad idea?

we havent got enough 17 year olds to field a full team and some dont want to play in the friendlies

is i can get 25 players in teh squad i can get subs used aswell

were are not going to win league this year but i think we can get 3rd

and this will help keep morlae up


without friendlies some of the players would only have international games

friendly brought in 19k last week so if i have 15 kids on 1k a week we have 4k profit from playing those games

ok then gaffer, I'll leave you to get on with it!

asamcgrath you need to train some fitness

ok bongo your only playing 45 mins in friendly today

diva you ask to play for the experiance so will replace bongo

as your also in main squad plans i dont want to tire you diva

bongo you will play in hole as the team cant formation when making the sub

Fine by me boss!

yeah alright, I'll just go schedule an extra fitness session before Saturday then.

i thought you said you wanted to play in both? for the experiance

I didn't say I wasn't a grumpy b@rStat sometimes!

good win for our reserves

playing same team next week

keep making the mistake of playing at there ground
reducing income but as they are in aberdeen aswell we get away without fitness loss for traveling

Iron - 92% training isn't optimal until you have mid level skills. Until then 82% is better.

As we can only use 3 subs is it possible to leave those who definitely won't play at home for away league matches? Would be a small gain, but they add up over time!

nothing in there for leaving players at home

i think its all go or no-one goes

Fair enough.

I informed the Welsh U18 manager of my thoughts, had no reply yet!

so who you guys think i should vote for?

the same bunch of idiots or a new bunch of idiots?

lol, new bunch, then the old bunch might go crazy and make more amusing threads.

 rotflmfao ;popcorn; ;kneelsucker;

i was going to vote bradley but he didnt register an intrest

Having found out how XP works in NTs I'm thinking playing for them is pretty pointless... Thinking of withdrawing to get the old eff% up!

just seen your post on the scots board

was expecting a call to be asked to play tonight

lol, I'd be happy playing 0 games I think ;)

that will teach the rangers manager for laughing when we took things easy against the bot and only beat them 1-0

5 mins to go and we are up 4-0

on paper they have a better side than us 2

5-nil

Check out the team forum social committee thread, it's time to wheel out your best lines and hit the town!

Some guys are not maintaining te relationship between myself and them. This is not really a problen for me but it does piss me off. If you can't be bothered clicking a button once every ten days it doesn't say a lot for the commitment to the game or team IMO.

Is Regan in a coma, btw, he seems stuck on 1% fitness!

Any chance of not playing me in friendlies? I keep having to train fitness too often because of it.

its ok you played friendly this week so you can miss the league match and therefore not take a big hit in fitness


remember those playing in friendlies (if we play any more) set the order to try not to tire

Regan and Rumbold, if they're not going to contribute, do we need them around?

regan is asamcgrath

i will send him a pm

might as well sack regan, just don't have the time to play at the mo :(

no problem

so who wants to play for how long this week midweek and/or saturday

boldie your in the friendly on wednessday but resting saturday

remember to set for friendly to avoid getting tired

who cares if we lose friendlies just as long as we get money to pay wages and pay rises at end of season

diva you on drugs?

Well, I am in Bristol (ok, just got back from a weekend in Bristol).

Two goals inside 20 minutes, howdya like them leeks, eh Bongo?

diva dont think you will get a game this weekend against celtic

which might be a benifit with the morale know we will get

you sure you want to miss out on a friendly against the bot?

How do I not get selected for the national side anymore? This travelling away with th national side means I don't get as much out of team training as I should

National Teams - Player Options.

I just sent a friendly message to the manager though, and he knows not to pick me.

Happy just to train this week. Want two pops in Game Vision.
Still want to play when the opposition aren't Hibs or Celtic.
And get that Bloody Brazillian of ours to train Stamina! What's the point of being world class for ten minutes!!!

still trying to work out the best formation for the game vrs celtic

thinking either 4-1-3-1-1 or 5-1-3-1

i messed up

costing £16k

so have to play friendly now

15% fitness loss... with AGT on!

Still I was MOTM ;)

Can we have some stamina TT soon please guv ;)

couple of weeks there will be

next week postioning i think followed by short passes

We'd be better off training it sooner as then we lose less from matches and so get a free boost to our eff.

suggest stick with plan for next two rotations then go with stamina until we reach 7 then speed until 7, then restart skill rotation.

Given we need to reach stamina 7 anyway, wouldn't you say we're better off training to that first so that we lose less fitness from games from then on?

yep

well, I was just trying to let the gaffer finish plan a before we start telling him what plan b is... but yes...

We need to tell him before he messes up again!  :D

Have you met Iron?..plan A probably actually doesn't exist..he just guesses every week...assuming he doesn't get distracted by boobs. ;)

If anyone fancies having a go at this, I am now manager at SundIreland in the second tier of the English league. Register, find "Bruno Tait" , message me and I'll offer you a contract.

i am trying to get a release so havent logged on for a while can you check if i have been released if i havent can you send the ass of a manager a PM telling him i want a realse ASAP

and i might join you till i reset

I'll message him now. And welcome Chipleader a.k.a Dan Astley, future England U18 star!

thanks

new to it so just getting used to it for now

can someone just give me a quick rundown on what to do/ how things work

Have you found the team forum newbie thread? That'll help.

Basically,

set your training - match team training, with one fitness session every other day.
set your match orders (remember you are an AM)
send friend requests to your teammates.
Once they've accepted, go to player > relationships > players and set your interaction percentages.
(then, you gradually become friends, team spirit goes up and we play better).

Post on the forum about stuff!

where can i do match orders?

am i still with that team diva?

Chipleader.
Match Orders are Player > Individual Orders

Bongo - Why the f@ck aren't you joining us - I need a training guru for all my new17yr old players!!!  You can be assistant manager if you get FS Silver and watch all the matches in 2D sometime...

Bongo is too lazy and was meant to be sorting a move to wales for a season to get some experience. I was meant to do that 3 weeks ago and have yet to message any of the welsh managers  ;ashamed;

well, what about being my assistant manager?

oops, gotta go and oick up the missus from the station. Laters.

Right, I'm back! C'mon, you can train Chipleader to be the next Paul Gascoigne!

I'll get you some playing time, so you'll get experience soon enough and play first team football once the loan guys go back. Dan Owen'll be going early next season.  Get with the blonde team Bongo!!!

I've saved you the number seven shirt and everything!

seven, severn, geddit?  ::)

Well, think about it, let me know eh?

Dammit, I've just gone to find Charles Permain to offer him a contract and he's re-signed for Ballbusters! Grrr.

sorry mate...ballbusters offered me 3 times more than any other offer I had....Ive also not logged into footstar for ages (until yesterday) and notice loads of changes. Will have a look this weekend to see if I can be bothered sticking with it.

well, I kept the 2 shirt free for you and the 7 shirt free for Bongo, who I want as my assistant-manager. Bongo apparently won't leave Ballbusters - or tell me why.
If you don't fancy England, fair enough, I should have put an offer in a day earlier!

I'm disappointed tho' and a bit pissed off at Bongo, for not bothering to reply to my offer.

I told you I was trying to get a move to Wales, as I told the U19 manager I would do that and play U19 games for him, before you left.

Although now it seems I'm over 19 and the U21 manager wants me to play :P

I was about to message PR and ask for a release actually...

Right, message sent to U21 boss saying I'll play important games only and to PR saying I want a release to join whatever your team is called.

Just don't tell tighty it only took me 3 emails to do it otherwise I'll be in for a right bollocking the next time he sends me 10  ;hide;

I'd guess my timing is immaculate ;)

in case link doesn't work:

Yeah, I'd seen that- I've told him to stop being paranoid!
Seems like I should've got stroppier earlier! Anyway, great news that you'll join.
Do you just want to be a player, or are you up for being player-coach, handling the team training schedule.
The only thing I insist on is that there is one day of finishing, one day of tackling and five days of one other skill every week.
My plan was to start with speed, then stamina, then poistioning, then technique, then game vision - as I think it's important that the new guys get a few skills in each of those first.  After that, I'm open to suggestions/happy to hand it over to you.

Now, where are the blackmail pictures of Charles Permain and the ladyboy ;-)

apparently he wants £50k  ::)

FFS, what a spiteful tw@t. I got 62k in revenue for the last game so I guess  we can just about afford it.

First, I'll ask him nicely to do the decent thing and release you!
Never know, he might realise he's out of order.

I was going to point out £5k was fairer, as that would cover the wages he's paid so he wouldn't be out of pocket.

I'll leave it in your hands... all this hassle over a game!

I know. Would you tell him that you think I'll give him 10K as a goodwill gesture to thank him for releasing you.

Paul and I have settled on 20k, to help him find a replacement. Can he change the transfer listing, or do we have to wait for it to run out and have him re-list you Bongo?

no idea mate!

Iron might know more...

Iron,
Welcome. aboard,
thnx for introducing urselfto the guys . Pls turn on individual orders so I can set orders for defending set pieces. Cheers.

Bongo, deadline has expired. Please REJECT the 50k deal. Paul will re-list you this evening for 20k.

You should have said this before I accepted the deal  ;oopsy;

F@ck. Might have to sell the team plane.
Welcome anyway, as long as I haven't bankrupted the club, it's great to have you on board!

take it out of iron's wages  ;angel;

feel free

Talking of Iron's wages... can you log in and accept the friendly contract termination.

Cheers!

young Mr Pearmain seems to be improving nicely from the look of things.

I will have to up the stamina though as, now that I'm playing regularly, I tire out more easily...so stamina for the next month or so :)

should also have enough cash next week to get a "good" Private trainer (or whatever the next level up from passable is)
