主題: I.1

Well done to BronteFlynn, getting the draw against a full strength betas team! Congrats, still underfeated 5 games in

Amazing bit of luck is all I can say... next up Colah, then Knights

does experience affect player rating?

Yes it does, not by a great amount, but my more experienced players Exp80+ definitely get higher ratings then there stats deserve. It's in the guide somewhere aswell, I can't copy it cause I'm on my iPhone.

ohh yeah!that explains it,because i have my new keeper with way higher rating than my older one but has lesser experience and gets a lower game rating!thanks btw

You've done it again, just proves that you are a genuine threat this year.

Not sure about a threat.... got to score goals, but yes I did stack the defense in these last few tough matches Another 0-0 draw. Certainly a good start by the Highlanders with Colah the only team who have managed to score against my in form keeper! So deservedly Colah is top of the ladder!

Gee there was some ill-discipline towards the end of that match by my Highlanders with 4 yellows and a red handed out in the last 10 minutes!

Some other upsets this week also! Barbalicious great win over Prestige, GMP draws with FC Kanga.

Woohoo! All alone on top

Well done BF! Some of those draws you pulled off against the top teams were away with a huge possession disadvantage. Let's hope that augurs well for the U20s

For newer managers, here is a little demonstration of the importance of training secondary skills.

In the national U17 team, I have tried out two 16yo defenders.

Hugh Tyler is 124Df, 62Pa, 63Tc, 62Sp, 62Hd
Harry Madgwick is 191Df, 61Pa, 62Tc, 39Sp, 42Hd

So Madgwick's defence skill is much higher but in games Tyler returned a 10 rating and Madgwick an 8. That's because his speed and heading are so low they're capping his defence skill so no matter how much he trains his defence from this point, he won't see any significant performance improvement until he trains speed and heading.

However, a few weeks training speed and heading up to the 60 mark would see his performance jump up to a 10 rating. Further training of each of those four secondaries up to around the 75 mark would see his performance leap again, potentially putting him ahead of where Tyler would be at the same time. Ideally he should continue the secondary training till they're all around the 95 mark (or 50% of defence) before looking to train defence again.

Remember this rule of thumb only applies to central defenders where all four primaries should be around 50% because they're all medium secondaries. Major secondaries should be around 75% and minor secondaries around 25%.

Interesting match and useful formation by Askals in Highlanders 2-0 loss to Philippines Askals.

Askals playing very low intensity, two quick goals by the Left Defender!

soccer.powerplaymanager.c...

i know,i wasn't able to change my tactics!i was really surprised about the two first half goals which was in a very low intensity but i didn't able to have any goal at a normal intensity lol

They must have switched to summer time in Slovakia because I logged in to check my team just after 8.30 and I couldn't change anything. Luckily I still managed a win.

Whole Europe switched time on a weekend, talked to my mum, so I knew that they did ((=

And not an April's fool

bwhahah just realised why i cant find the last 6 eggs. Im two days early. Couldnt work out how i could miss so many.
