    Most Effective Method of Scouting?

    All I can give you is my experience from the lower levels and it is all just doing the leg work. I dont research wonderkid names or anything. But what I do look for is the basics that give me the best chance of having strong investements on young players: (1) Have a proper scout who can have...

    Sincere Question: Anyone not cheat and succeed with non-worldbeater clubs?

    TakedaLegout Haven't tried the Russian league yet. Probably because I am just not knowledgable enough about it, and have a hard enough time with the game :) Doesn't help I'm too hard on myself with these self-inflicted rules of conduct, lol. TJD07 Good stuff. I agree on the feeling of...

    Sincere Question: Anyone not cheat and succeed with non-worldbeater clubs?

    ^^ guilty conscious. Maybe you missed the part where I stated I'm not passing any moral judgment on anyone who uses such items. I just noted that the genies, wonderkid lists, and replays ARE used by a section of players, and thus their advice becomes a bit tainted for MY purposes in regards to...

    club want me, can i delay till end of season?

    I have no direct experience as I always play for low-level clubs, but wouldn't it make sense that you can't? A club would not wait around without a leader part of a season. It would kill morale for both clubs, right? So my guess would be that you can't delay.

    Sincere Question: Anyone not cheat and succeed with non-worldbeater clubs?

    I was wondering because, thanks to living in the third-world and being paid in USD (and having a real addiction for statistics and tactics :D ) I have a lot of time to really try hard to succeed in the game. One thing I notice, however, that a lot of advice given is tainted for one of three...

    My bi-yearly rant of confusion

    Absolute frustration. Smashed a coffee mug given it was the 4th straight loss just like that.

    Clearly, sometimes this game just f#cks you. #21 can't do that to a #2. I don't care what league you're in.

    My bi-yearly rant of confusion

    That's why I said "feel", and not "I have proof! :) But honestly, the fact that my club can go 5 straight and I can predict injury after 7 solid matches or a run of 5-straight points to at least some form of calculation to "even the playing field" when a player is figuring out a system that...

    My bi-yearly rant of confusion

    Been Oxford for 5 seasons now. I work **** hard to figure all the capabilities /possibilities for the team regarding players. I even figure in personalities, footing, current form and potential blah blah. I don't use wonderkids or genies of any type. I have alternate-saves for testing theories i...

    Someone explain this to me (1-5-25) in last 31 matches

    Explain what? Exploit was a failure anyway, and it was used out of the sheer need for a win after a 10-match slide near the end of the first season. Like someone else said up-top (and what I knew anyway) is that other tactics don't work if you're a low-league team that can't utilize them like an...

    Someone explain this to me (1-5-25) in last 31 matches

    There's the club. As you can see, some injuries. I actually won a match against the only other team worst than me, Stevenage, who has yet to gain a single point in the season. Still, as you can see, too many mistakes on the defense. It doesn't help that two of my main scorers are now hurt...

    Someone explain this to me (1-5-25) in last 31 matches

    I have tried everything, so now I'm just coming here: I managed Oxford United. Season one I started out 17-3-1, with a 4-5-1 system (standard look as you see often on here with 4 defenders, a DM, 2CM, 2 wide AMs and a striker). Suddenly, I fell into a slump after being forced to trade one...

    The American Dream?

    ^^^ this. Great stuff, man. I appreciate the effort.

    No club ever, apparently.... over 3 years of playing the game. It's the one thing I've never figured out. It's why I just like to build clubs and then leave. So frustrated though.

    90% of the time I'm favorite to win, I lose. Every time I'm considered a huge underdog I win. Any time I'm considered on par and nothing is on the line I win, if something is on the line I'm destroyed. WTF AM I DOING WRONG!!! >:(
