He's going to be some player.

303 hatstats on a PIC, that's 2nd in IV and 25th in the whole country. PICing again this week then will probably MOTS next week just to see what Hatstats I can muster up. We're top of the promotion table, one of only two teams with 100% records in IV this season. After seasons of mediocrity this has been a pretty successful season! God bless multi skilled players....

A win today guarantees me a play off and I can PiC next week against rock bottom team. Have taken no chances with a strong line up and a (probably unnecessary MoTS)

 

[* ORM *]

Hmmmmm, that's not good, they've just equalised

2-1 up 10 mins to go - I am much stronger than these so why are they doing this to me. I should have won this comfortably

Guys just a quick one for you! For the last 3 days everytime i log onto hattrick all i get is a blank screen, am i the only one suffering with this or are you guys having trouble logging in?

 

[MrB]

Just logged in and seems fine for me.

Won my division and had joint top scorer - not bad playing a 5-4-1 all season. Wage bill went from 140 to 185 during the season. I can manage that down nicely after the play off (which I'll hopefully win). I've overtrained some defenders to win the division but I can use them to upgrade midfield assuming I win the play off. I am unlikely to win my league next season if I don't go up this season :( One team had a great second half due to acquistions and matches me in Altid.

Onto the playoffs first.

yeah i logged onto my girlfriends pc and it was fine, but back on mine all im getting is a blank screen! i haven't changed anysettings or anything and have tried re-installing to no avail!

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Finished second, which isn't a bad result for my first season in III.

Not sure what to make of the new teams for next season.

 

[* ORM *]

It looks like a fairly even playoff game for me. I have no suspensions but a couple of injuries which will trouble me if a winger or CM gets injured. I only have 600k in the bank so I am toying with selling a titantic (overtrained and popped last week) defender to replace with a Supernatural CM. Main issue is the replacement defender with a brilliant which could end up working against me. Decisions decisions !

I haven't looked at Altid yet but I'm going for promo irrespective of how tough IV would be

 

[* ORM *]

I've checked Altid - I'm gonna get spanked ! He must have eased off in the last few games. Plan B - with nothing to lose - stick in the defenders I bought with good pm and passing and surprise him with CA which I've not used at all in the league. Sell the defender boost the midfield and hey presto welcome to the 19th toughest div IV :)

The defender doesn't have decent secondaries. Had him for ages before multiskill was the in thing.

 

[MrB]

2nd in the promotion table and off to III.2. 302 hatstats on a PIC in the final game.

Now to decide whether to stay as I am for a season or completely rebuild as many of my main players are over 28 now.

 

[* ORM *]

Currently 2-2 in my qualy - forgot to set penalty takers so hoping to nick it 3-2 - I believe I forgot to set CA but as I also forgot to select CA specialist defenders I'm not doing too bad.

 

[* ORM *]

Hmmmm failed to score a pen - ha ha. Oh well, much tougher V next season than this

 

[MrB]

Sold 1 x mythical and 3 x titanic and bought 4 younger supernaturals.

Team will not be as good but will save £90k per week on wages. Should hopefully be good enough to stay up in III but if not I can always strengthen again later in the season.

We line up for the season like this:

GK: E-T
WB: Supernatural (Solid Wing)
WB: Supernatural (Solid Wing)
CB: Supernatural (Formidable PM)
IM: E-T
IM: E-T
IM: Supernatural
WN: World Class (Magnificent PM)
WN: World Class (Excellent PM)
FW: Supernatural (Passable Pass)
FW: Supernatural (Solid Pass)

Pleasingly well rounded now.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

My team

GK: Titanic (inadequate SP)
WB: Supernatural (world class wing)
CD: Titanic
WB: Supernatural (outstanding)
IM: Titanic (formidable passing)
IM: Titanic (inadequate passing)
EIM: Supernatural
W: Supernatural (world class PM)
W: Magnificent (world class PM)
CF: Supernatural (excellent passing)
CF: Supernatural (outstanding wing)

Fantastic, someone just bid £2.2m on one of my old youth pulls, who I sold for £667.

That's a nice bonus of £44,000 coming my way, very much appreciated when you are £220,000 in debt.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

First game, against the team who came down I find myself 3-0 up on a PIC away from home.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

I hope I'm on a PIC. I've got 55% possession, CA-ing away from home!

 

[MrB]

Opened my season with a 4-2 win despite a sending off and an injury. Going to get much harder though.

 

[MrB]

YB - challenged your youths.
