Yikes :S Oh well, I can probably hold off for a bit . First port of call is definately buying some players though.

How is everyone going? I won easily (0-4), saving up a few players for wednesday's cup match. I'm in 1st place again, too. So everything is going fine...but one of my internationals got kicked out of the national u-20 squad. No fun.

Hey I lost (d'oh) and I had a crappy pull (d'oh), but my last semi good pull is almost fit again so I can almost start selling him.

Well my HAM is finally up and running again (thanks Ox ) So I can try and manage my club properly
hehe.
There are loads of my players being fired, some trying to be sold... not any of the good ones.
I've got a cup match in a couple of hours, but it's a lost cause, so i'm fielding my B team, for the first time in ages, so I'll be able to see if I have any decent players in the works. I'm training defending too, I have two really good, relatively youngs forwards, and some not as good young ones too. So scoring training definately paid off.
Anywho, we'll see what happens

Wahey, it worked then! Cool! I saw your cup match, a lost cause indeed. Ah well...you didn't forget to PIC , did you? My match is going on atm, I'll let you know the outcome. Should be doable.

I definately went for PIC , I have the feeling they did too, cos I didn't get absolutely throttled hehehe

GAH! For crying out loud!!! What the hell is with a youth pull (on excellent) with a TSI of 20!!!! *chucks a tantrum*

lol, very appropriate smilie. What was he, a 20-yr old with wretched stamina as his best skill? And yeah, it sucks pulling players like that on excellent YS. But unfortunately the lvl of YS doesn't raise the minimum abilities of your pulls, it just broadens the scope and chance of pulling a great one. You can pull a 17-yr old solid player with a poor YS, if you're insanely lucky, too.

I'll have you know whether I pull something decent tonight.

EDIT: this was this week's pull, for me

Not too shabby. Should get me some cash. Listed him for 0€ starting price.

I really forgot to check my last match and pull a player untill just now, the outcome: crap pull (d'oh!), but I won last match (mainly due to the opponent getting a red card just before halftime), and I'm now suddenly #6 in my league!
The downside is that I just lost another player for three weeks.

gah! *kicks computer* TSI of 90 this week, freaking inadequate stamina was the best. GRRRRR

What kind of luck did you guys have?

With pulls? Never had any luck with one.

lol@ Arathorn, poor bastard


My pull was crap this week as well though:

Bought any players yet Suga?

Hah! Mine had a TSI of 70! I win!





*sob*

lol. Arathorn deserves the prize for unluckiest puller in history of hattrick. It used to be the guy that pulled Bob Sunesson, before the GM's made him a 'beloved team member'.

Playing my cupmatch right now, against a division IV team...(i'm VI, but really more of a V-quality ). 2-0 ahead after 40 minutes, w00t! suffering from confusion though...let's hope it clears up during half-time and they don't take advantage of it in the meantime.

What tactic are you using?
