New hattrick season

[* ORM *]

A slim 1-0 win with 10 men for most of the Match sees me 4th at half way. Promotion is still conceivable as there has been a few off the page results in our league so I'll keep fielding strong line ups and have a couple of MoTS up my sleeve.

Player specialties have appeared on your youth squad. My 8* WB is powerful, nice.

They haven't on mine and there doesn't appear to be an announcement, so I'm guessing its a bug.

If anyone can see my youth team's specialities, can they post them on here please.

 

[MrB]

I can't see any on yours but mine are still there. Maybe you just haven't got any!

 

[MrB]

There is a thread in Global. Couple of points

1) Its been confirmed that it is only those specialities uncovered by trainers that show

2) Recent specialities uncovered show in bold

3) From today's pulls you may also have a scout tell you that a player has a speciality

Makes sense.

 

[MrB]

Another inadequate defending 15yo today, 15/28 too which is nice.

Just sold a titanic midfielder with excellent wing for £1.9m and invested in the same midfield level with outstanding passing for £2.2m, both 27 so not sure if that's value but I'm happy with my player. Sold my supernatural defender for £1.8m and now need to decide what to do with the £2.3m I have left over. Another defender is obvious but I could go for a real killer striker instead.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Was rather pleased with my weak wing 15 year old - should reach solid and is quick, with inadequate overall skills. As my second best player is also a winger, it should slot nicely into my training scheme as well.

2-1 victory puts me outright second but I'm six points behind leader, effectively 7 on GS/GD. I should beat them and limit lead to 3 point but this still requires them to slip in 2 other games and for me to have a perfect rest of season. Wages at a much more sensible 137K and I comfort myself that team that promoted last year is top of his IV. Record 238 hatstats and averaging around 56 stars. All new trainees are too low in primaries to chance for first team just yet but should have matured adequately by the time I promote next season.

 

[MrB]

Sneaked a 1-0 away win despite injuries, suspensions, a PIC and poor TS. Puts me in 3rd, no chance of promotion but I'll be happy just to avoid a qualifier.

Anyone available for a friendly next week? I go off on hols first thing Thursday so won't be able to organise another flag but I can get an English challenge in on Wednesday evening. Flag 88 arriving tomorrow, long cup runs rather hinder your flag chasing chances!!

2-1 away win keeps me second 6 points behind leader. They scraped a 1-0 overconfidence win against 8th place. If I could turn them over by 3 or 4 goals there's a chance of nicking it on GD but realistically I'm playing to hold 2nd spot.

 

[* ORM *]

3-0 win virtually guarantees 2nd spot for me. Leaders won and realistically I won't catch therm now. Not overly disappointed but I've been here before. 2nd doesn't mean promotion next season necessarily.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Sunday was probably my best result in all my seasons of HT.

I beat the team in 2nd 8-0, to all but guarantee promotion to divIII. I picked up my highest ever hat-stats, topping 300 for the first time, despite not having to MOTS.

 

[MrB]

Some decent results from my youth squad in the last couple of weeks:

Aanandswarup Kanjilal
TSI = 1 220 , 17 years and 94 days, passable form
Has disastrous experience and weak leadership abilities [Technical]

Stamina: weak Keeper: disastrous
Playmaking: poor Passing: passable
Winger: solid Defending: weak
Scoring: inadequate Set pieces: wretched

Sandy Spock
TSI = 860 , 17 years and 71 days, passable form
Has disastrous experience and weak leadership abilities

Stamina: inadequate Keeper: disastrous
Playmaking: weak Passing: inadequate
Winger: inadequate Defending: solid
Scoring: wretched Set pieces: weak

Should keep the bank balance topped up.

Lost this week though put up a decent fight against the league leaders. A win this week will mean I'm safe from a qualifier.

Nice.

I've already clinched automatic promotion, so today's game is meaningless.

 

[MrB]

I have found you one potential buyer for Maurice Lowe already. He is an English manager with an excellent coach. He would go to £1.5m without an issue :)

Nice message to receive! Takes the dilemma away about whether to train or sell!!

 

[* ORM *]

Just beaten #1 to guarantee 2nd spot and ruined their automatic promotion aspirations.

Unlikely they will lose next week but if they do I am ready to step into a play off spot.
