Темата: II.1

Great season [soccer_team=47], but I'm ecstatic to inflict the first loss to your team in the last game of the season! soccer.powerplaymanager.c...

Congrats on an awesome win!

I better watch what I say, my first league match in I.1 is versus FC and his team has full energy back and is at home

Energy management becomes more fun in the higher leagues. I do suggest upgrade a few players when you get the chance. But be picky and don't spend unless you are sure they're a good buy

1-1two days later

yeah well, I would be crying, I lost itmyself )=
..been busy and forget while I ran through that have to change players.. didn't expect anything else than win cup.. will see what I can learn when I'll be back..
it change nothing on CONGRATS to BF, u finally beat me!!!
And nearly equal matches

I left Div II.1 to last because this is where the new teams are currently going and I thought I'd give them as much time as possible to prove they are genuine new teams. However, of the 15 teams that have signed up to this league in the past fortnight, only one (Zap Athletic) has logged in more than once so it remains to be seen how many last the distance.

This league is currently very tight with just four points separating the top four teams. SCM Sydney Park is best placed with wins against the other three top four teams. Add in good ploayer development and infrastructure and there is little to fault Sydney Park on so far.

Equal second are soccervix boys and Philippines Askals. These teams were founded a day apart last season and at this stage, the Askals appear to be the stronger team both in terms of player development and infrastructure. Their clash next week will start to make the league a bit clearer.

Just behind them is MaruSAN City, who have been around a lot longer but are only fractionally ahead of the others in terms of facilities and slightly behind on player development.

The 6th placed Adelaide Wolves are the enigma of the league. In 15 months and five seasons of PPM, they have accrued just 16 experience points. It seems they log in every time they get an email saying they are about to be booted out for inactivity. That said, their logins are very effective with good facilities and the biggest stadium (19,200) in Div 2. However, there is little room for subtlety in match tactics so with every game played on very high, the team already has an energy crisis and their match ratings are little better than the nonames.

I predict the Askals will edge into the top spot by the end of the season with Sydney Park going into the playoffs.

Highland Terriers celebrate their 1 year anniversary today! After starting in 22nd place in this league II.1 exactly one year ago (latter part of season 6)

So for the newbies after 1 year, how much progress can you expect to make in PPM. Here is a sample.

After 1 year
- Stadium 16800 (7 large stand-ups and 1 triple multi-floor under construction.
- Facilities 1 level 11, 1 level 10, 2 level 9, 3 level 7
- Highest OR for a raised player... 415 ... A goalie from academy in June.
- Promoted to I.1 via promotion play-off, currently holding down 10th place... (Incidentally currently have lost the same number of matches as FC Kangaroo who are in 7th! )
- sad but true fact.... My Soccer Manager Experience score of 364! Meaning, I missed one day last year.... Maybe it doesn't count Feb 29th!
- side note: My initial year choice was to first buy a reasonable team of relatively inexpensive young players, and then focus on facilities. Next year will be back on the players and stadium... And $$$!!!

Pretty cool how close the top 3 teams are in this league.... all on 91 points... Good luck on the run home, and may the best two teams get a chance to promote!

Soccervix (currently top) still have to play 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th, all of whom are active. Askals only have to play two of the top 5 and Sydney Park only have to play one.

I'm sticking with my earlier prediction, Askals first, Sydney Park second but anything can happen when it's this close. Good luck to all

Great win to soccervix over Sydney Park. If soccervix and Askals continue to win, the premiership will be decided on the last day of the season when they play each other.

Sounds like the perfect end to a season... close seasons / series like this are what build long-lasting rivalries!

Not the only league to be decided on the last day...
League II.3 also has NEW UMEA v GMP Spitfires 2.. on Day 42 as a decider for the promotion spot!

Wow, it's like pretty good time for fans here, worth money, three teams over 100pts!
lot of goals, looked deeper into stats and:
soccer.powerplaymanager.c... if the top striker of II.1 Lars Varjoranta will have to be eliminated or ill as he played part in more than half of the goals of his team =-O
.. great to see that we will have a strong competition next year t
btw: Also II.3 looks good, come on CAV! make it happen

no worries - all under control. Not.
