I signed up yesterday, so going by the current waiting list, i think i should get a team either today or tomorrow hopefully

W00t!! Cool! That makes three of us! Let us know what your team's name is when you get in aye!

Btw Arahtorn, that's not really a great keeper no But he's still ok enough for your league. (because holland has a bigger league than belgium you started in a lower than i did ehehe...Suga will prolly start in a way higher one )

Yeah but that means i'm gonna totally suck in my league!!
... wait a minute

I'm gonna totally suck anyway so what am i worried about!!!

Hahaha, who knows, maybe you'll be the nr. 1 Oceanic player in some months time! Sugs the national coach! hehe

lol yeah right!
I have next to no clue about soccer! but i'm a fast learner.

If i am gonna be that coach superstar.... i better start with some sleep 2:30am... nighty night!!

Hehehe...you're on holiday, so who cares about sleep!? Night!

Oh i don't care about sleep! I just have to get in a couple of hours gameboy time before i do
hehehe

Yesterday 5 users were given a team in your league, the last of which had applied 2004-01-06 01:08:00.

Rinett
Oceania , V.142

Friendly games would be cool too.... I've yet to play a game but i suspect that i suck! hehehe
my most valuable player.. i don't reckon he's the best is...

Liam Logan
318 000 AU$, 26 years, inadequate form
Has wretched experience and inadequate leadership abilities

Stamina: weak Keeper: wretched
Playmaking: weak Passing: passable
Winger: inadequate Defending: passable
Scoring: passable Set Pieces: wretched


Some questions though.
Do you guys look in the trades a lot? What sort of prices etc. should i look for?
I'm a bit lost when it comes to trading etc.

And did you just keep the coach you were given.. even if they are crappy?

I haven't looked into transfers yet, I'm still awaiting my first match.

Your best player indeed looks pretty wothless.

How do you search for a team?

i changed the region to whichever they are in, then click search in the region menu....

Don't know if that makes sense.. but that is what i did

hehe i've already been challenged with a friendly, it looks like if i do take the challenge. I will indeed get my bum kicked!

You've just been challenged by me.

lol so i have seen hehehe
I have accepted it... i think :\ hehehe, tell me if it shows up

Yup, it worked.

Keep in mind that the away-team has to pay for travel costs in an international friendly you two!


I might be getting to friendlies with you guys sooner than expected as i'm selling my second keeper. If you're interested: his player ID is 14933476, in the Belgian league ofcourse.


And yups, if you want to search something in another country you'll have to change the setting at the top left first.


Concerning friendlies: usually they're being played by the B-team, they're necessary to train players that aren't in the main squad as only those that played a match that week receive training. But if you're really trying to test your teams against eachother you can ofcourse field your a-squad.


Suga, i did a major transferring spree at the start of the season buying some 4 new players, and i'm still trying to work of my debts and interests on my debts lol . So look out a bit, the only way you can really "fail" in hattrick is to go bankrupt. Other than that you can sink to the last place of the lowest division, but who cares about that huh?


SOme general tips on buying players:

1)younger players are worth more than old ones, as their skills train much faster. (and thus they have a bigger potential)
2)keepers are expensive. The reason for that is that training on keepers isn't done much (as you can only train 2 players a week that way) and so it's more difficult to find a decent goalie.
3)best leagues to find bargains in are usually: Begium, Sweden, USA, Germany, Holland, Norway, Switzerland, Danmark
4)don't be fooled by the stats "stamina" and "passing", they're only really important for midfielders. So don't go throwing 50k extra on a defender cos he's got excellent stamina.


Btw, i wouldn't change coaches yet, everyone starts with a "weak" coach, so that evens out a bit. I saw your legacy (0 pts. lol) is almost as crappy as Arathorn Sugs, guess the remainder of this season will be perfect to experiment with tactics so you can go for gold next season!
