dan-likes-trees Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 It looks like a lot of players benefited from the bonus matches, ours included. My second a last knockout round the only dv change was one of my strikers dropping from 16 to 15 after I played him the whol game! So - people who didnt make it - I wouldn't feel too gutted. My team are worth more than any "Elite League" team and are worth 40 mil than the next middle league team but I am put in the middle league. Hadens Legends will dominate the middle league and come to the "top" league as unbeaten champs. I wouldn't have minded a last season in mid league. Roger's a bit gutted to be stuck in top. Your midfield is looking phenominal. One more season sorting out your back line and you'll surely be in the mix for first place next season in elite. Has Elite league ever been stronger? Not a single easy game all season. Going to try something a bit mad in the transfer window. COYS.
Charlie Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 I'm struggling to get my team values up, neither of my youngest players got a visible change yet both having a great DV, my young defender who had 18 DV only had a single jump. Hoepfully next time round they'll all be in line for a double jump. Got an 18 4 forward with a training cone in the mail this morning which I'm pretty pleased with. Wouldn't mind an 16 4 or 18 6 or something too...
Tales Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 Wow, someone sure had money stashed away...18 million for a player....
Jimbob Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 Youth training is paying off, had some significant skill increases across the youth side of my team. Just seen the first game for myself is on the 29th, anyone fancy a few friendlies beforehand?

Still have Rossers to deal with now hated playing that team in the groups! Good luck in the top league!
The Peeps Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 I'm not exactly happy about being in the top division - I'm the weakest team by a whole skill bar. I had been looking forward to doing well in the middle league too!

Esequiel Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 Nice. Looking forward to this season I think! It cant be any worse than the last season for me, i think i got 1 point in total....
The Peeps Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 You had a tough start for sure, this season should be a better fit for you
bob Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 It cant be any worse than the last season for me, i think i got 1 point in total.... Well don't expect any points from me, but i'm sure others will happily give you some. Jimbob for instance.
Esequiel Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 I fully intend to win the league this season. My first season i put together a run of 7 or 8 unbeaten games. My CL group was just way too advanced for a 2nd season player like me!

Tales Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 Never noticed before, but appearently I'm now the best manager :p
dazzybee Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 I have no idea what's going on but bring it on so defenders are just defenders, you don't get right backs and such like that? Any general tips in how to approach the game? I guess it starting will tell all

The Peeps Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 Yeah it doesn't matter where you place your players on the tactics page, defenders are just defenders, midfielders just midfielders :p You will pick it up but the game does seem to favour a strong midfield which is why most people opt for 3-5-2 and 4-5-1. Most teams have a home advantage but it's not standard, some teams will perform better at home than others and some teams are better away. There's a reason why the Xpert slogan is 'easy to play, hard to master'. When you pick your match line up you want to pay attention to teamwork values, form, strength and average age - but most importantly DV. You need to keep your players in high form and they need game time or they will not raise in skill. Look at your opponent's team and try to anticipate how they will play, think what you would do with their team against yours.
bob Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 Ignore everything Peeps said it's rubbish. Concentrate on trying to get as many strikers on the pitch as possible, and tell them to push high up the pitch and just pound the goal. Xpert is limited in that it won't let you put more than 3 (i think?) strikers on at once, but that's ok, you can just add midfielders and tell them to attack too. Defenders are pointless. Imagine Liverpool against Swansea. Try a 2-5-3 formation. You can bring on more attacking options via substitutions, but Xpert will only let you make subs after the 45 minute mark, so use them wisely. Three careful changes can turn that 2-5-3 into a 0-6-4, or "The Inverse Spain" as it is known. Think Sherwood not Villas Boas. That'll get you through. Good luck.
Tales Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 And that's why he's still in the lower leagues. edit: to bait bob you can actually play 2-4-2 if you want to.
