Onderwerp: Hello everyone

1) Seats on the sidelines
2) Benches on the ends.
3) Don't bother with a roof - it takes too long to pay for itself.

My opinion.

Good news!! My team has just advanced to a higher league, the B-League.01, after beating
FC Fayetteville 4 to 0 in the qualifying match. I hope this promotion leads to more supporters and better benefits because my economy isnt that well right now and the extra income from new supporters will help a lot.

First off lets take a look at the table of my new division:
Position - Team - Points
1. 4AD 39 (Promoted)
2. UT Dabram 33
3. FC Nippon 32
4. underdog 16
5. Kingfish 15 (Won its qualifying match)
6. FC Fayetteville 15 (Im replacing this team)
7. Rebellion FC 11 (Won its qualifying match)
8. Atoms 2 (Relegated)

After taking a look at my new league, I realize this is going to be one hell of a difficult season. It will actually be my real first season, since I joined recently and I have only played 3 official matches (won them all so far). So this season in B-League.01 will actually be my real first season.

Main objective:
My objective for this season will be to stay in this division. After taking into consideration that the first 3 teams are far superior (after taking a look at their average marks and players) I have came to the conclusion that the first 3 spots in the B-League.01 are unreachable. So winning the 4th place next season will be considered a triumph and a great feat for which our team will work hard. Now, if we finish 5th, 6th and such and still manage to stay in this division it will still be considered mission accomplished.

Now in order to achieve my main objective, there are many goals that need to be accomplished:

Goal #1:
Analizing my new league, it seems the first 3 teams:
-The relegated team from the A-League that will replace "4AD"
-UT Dabram
-FC Nippon

These 3 teams will be almost imposible to beat. My goal with these 3 teams will be to at least try to win a point from them at least in one of the two matches against each team, but realistically just getting a draw at least one time against them will be a success. So if I can get at least one draw in any of the 6 matches, then it will be considered a success. In other words, getting 1 point out of the 6 matches will be a positive thing, but getting 2 or 3 draws or 1 win will be even better but unlikely. So I will go for the 1-point goal.

Goal #2:
Analizing the other 4 teams:

-underdog: it seems to be the weakest one, and it happens to be the team that finished in the 4th place this ending season. The reason is because its a new team that has no management at all because the owner hasnt logged nor made any changes. So it seems I might take 6 points out of that team in our 2 matches, but so will the other 6 teams that will play against underdog. So getting just one draw against this team will be considered a failure. 6 points against underdog is a must.

-Kingfish and Rebellion FC: these two teams seem to be a bit superior than mine. It makes sense, since they began last year, they have many seasons of advantage. Also their average marks are also better than mine and their players look better too. But their case is different than the top 3 I explained before, because these two seem to be reachable, I mean, I think its posible to at least win one match against each team. I know its going to be very hard because they are a bit superior than my team but like I said before, its posible. So my goal here is to at least get 6 points out of the 4 matches that will be played against them, that itself will be considered a success. But getting more than 6 points will be surpassing my expectations.

-The promoted team that will replace "Atoms": right now I dont know whos going to replace this team, but im hoping and crossing my fingers that it will be a team like underdog which has no real management or just a new team like mine. That way I can hope to take 6 points from that team, but lets wait and see.

In conclusion, if my math is correct, I should be ending the next season with 18 or 19 points (19 points seem hard since this means I have to draw at least one match against the big top 3 teams which seem to be far superior than the rest of the teams). So if we make some sort of statistical analysis, 18 points at the end of the season might place me in the 4th place since in this ending season the 4th place finished with 16 points, but I know this is not an absolute thing, next season´s 4th place doesnt necessarily has to have 16 points, but im just making an assumption here after analizing this season that has just ended.

So to finally conclude, getting 18 points next season will be important to achieve my main objective which is to stay in the division. Getting the 4th place will be important since it means I will not have to play a qualifying match, but still, if I finish 5th or lower and win my qualifying match, then it will be considered a successful season.

My other objetives have to do with the training and the stadium but I will leave that for another post.

Good night everyone.

UT Dabram and FC Nippon didn't have qualifying matches.

My bad. Edited and fixed. Thanks.

You will definitely have a tough time, but do not get discouraged. It will be a tough jump but with good tactics you can surprise some people. Also, even if you do not win many games to start out the season, with good training and a few extra dollars you will be able to buy some better players and train your players so that the second half of the season you will be able to beat the lower teams, which is the most important thing in your position.

If you are into the game and get advice from knowledgeable people you will do fine.

your main goal should be stay out of last place. auto-relegation is about the only way a team gets sent down from B league. the first 4-8 matches after the auto promoters and relegators are tight games, but your goal should be to stay out of relegation and you should be fine.

Actually, it's kinda weird after you left this league, two other teams managed to escape, Gil and 4AD. I'm actually rebuilding this season so I'm just hoping to survive.

Jon is right, training young players, winning and promoting are more important than your stadium in the early stages.

Anyone knows how to post youtube videos here?

Actually your top 3 in your list has been narrowed down to top 2. The team that regulated for 4AD was a bot and has been reset for a new owner. So it is an open season in this league. Looking forward to an active league, losing active members is quite discouraging.

Hey guys, the other Tigers here :)


Thought I'd chime in. My first real (full) season is set to begin and with a little luck I think I could also promote. Wild Kick (main rival) doesn't seem to be much better than me and I think I could take both fixtures if I play my cards right.

For the time being, I'm mainly focused on training my young players and hopefully selling them for big bucks later on.

Anyways, thought I'd leave you all with this little jingle:





:D

Thats good news :)

Guys I keep seeing users that are Promo leads.. How do you get involved with something like that?

what?

I hate drawing new guys in the first round of the Cup. (Active new managers that is*)

Why?
