I'd change if no one else was willing to. But it seems that Rob's okay with making the switch.

Good news. I have secured a replacement striker for Kankkunen, he'll join GoG FC with Joakim Laakso after the next season.

IRL he is my cousin, and he has an account here. Though he haven't posted anything at the forums, but he is a member of GOG.

Player is Pai Friberg :)

Way to work the transfer market! :-)

Uh, eh, wait!
Who's going to leave us? With your cousin, we'd be 12 human players (unless stoicsentry has decided to depart for real). We should get this chaos sorted out soon.

Regardless on that, we should still place one of our defenders upfront, to get two strikers and to place Laakso properly. Since HomerSimpson doesn't seem to be eager, I'd go if you're fine with that.

Now I have one question concerning the friendly match with the bot team though. Didn't you tell us that we'd not play any friendlies and focus on training?

And last, but not least, since nobody here seems to be willing to share their individual training session on the forum to help and decide on the team training, how many of us have set their 'show to human manager' setting? And from the ones who did, what are they training right now?

Monday: Agility x3
Tuesday: Agility x3
Wednesday: Reflexes x3
Thursday: Reflexes x3
Friday: Handling x3
Saturday: Handling x3
Sunday: Fitness x3

Well, I doubt that we're going to find an overlap with your training :(

I wish the others would be just as active and willing to share information as are you though ;)

I am doing some special trainings once a day to improve some special defense skills:

Mon: 3x Speed
Tue: Fitness + 2x Speed
Wed: Long Passes + 2x Speed
Thu: Tackling + 2 Stamina
Fri: Fitness + 2x Stamina
Sat: Having Fun + 2x Stamina
Sun 2x Fitness + Having Fun

Laakso can be on the bench. And you will not play the friendly, since I put bots in the field. It's a home game, so no fitness loss due traveling. No need to worry, train with peace :)

Right now I have the exact training as team.
@Ubivis: Although I am not sure at all I think it's not to oeffective to have one training in the morning becoause it doesn't stack and have no training bonuses.

I think you are right... I have adjusted it at bit.

Weekdays I am now following the training by 100%

Saturdays I have fun the whole day (increasing the relationship to my girlfriend) and un Sunday I am using Fitness the whole day.

I am following the team training regimen with the exception of throwing in a fitness training when required.

Exactly the same as Homer.

We're told training as a team makes us gain quicker - and as ALL our skills are so low, surely it makes sense to keep to team training as much as possible - I'm sure at this early stage we all need speed and stamina !

Only much later on once the basic skills are in place am I going to look at any specialised training for my position. And I'm talking waaaaay down the line, when my basics are up in the 50's etc....

I'm sticking to team training (+fitness) as well for the time being.

I've put this on the main board before, but in case anyone missed it.....

Join my private league for giggles - each team 'plays' another each week - highest points scorer that week gets the win! Already got 22 teams , looking for more,...

League name is Things On Stix - code is 103120-36220. Season starts Saturday, so you still have a couple of days to get registered and pick your squad!!

Whatever we, or you, or whoever decides, we should do that soon and then set the schedule (Monday to Friday/Saturday and leave the remaining time as is, to change it later) accordingly so that people can adjust ahead of time. Preferably before Sunday dawns in-game.

That would be such a waste of resources though.
Have you three managers discussed how you'd prefer to set up the team yet?

Ugh. Our bots play nearly on the same level we do. Way to put us to shame!

*grins* Somebody wants to get... oh, well, I read that a girlfriend can actually be distractive if you get one too early up your career :p

Since we have a very good training centre, individual training is not as bad as it may sound.
You get roughly 84.5% of the 'full' effect according to the wiki, but save one fitness session each eight times training. Now, if only I knew whether the double/triple bonus accounts for the reduced effect or not :/
If it does *NOT*, then individual training ends up at nearly 97% of what you'd get from following the team training.
If it does, then the effect would be way more severe.

Actually, 50 is already a rather 'high' value.
