I'm struggling to see what I did wrong. I countered for all his tactics as they've been the same for almost all his 5 games do far.

You also played 3 defenders against my 2 strikers. That could have been your big downfall. Had you played 4-5-1, I think you'd have won that mate.

Also, as others have said, tactics only go so far - same as in real life. Plus, my midfield are in stupendous form right now, and I didn't want to break them up. Also, while you marked by best player out of the game, he wasn't my most in-form, the guy I chose as playmaker was, so that probably helped.

Don't forget, I was at home too, and had won my last 2 home games, that probably had a pretty big effect on it.

All in all, you'll probably batter me at your place

There's a team there for someone if you stick with it. I'll leave a message in the xpert11 thread for RP. It's easy to pick up and most of us have only started playing about 2 weeks ago.

I thought I'd boss the midfield and that my 2 strikers against your 4 defenders would get me goals. I obviously underestimated the strength of your midfield. Perhaps I was too cocky thinking I'd boss it at your place. Lesson learned.

Well done again mate!

It takes up as much time as you want to put into it. Basically anything from 20 minutes a week to 4 hours for the addicts.

Cheers

My midfield are insane.

I think it helps that my best 5 midfielders all 'work best' with each other, but there are no 2 who work best with each other, if that makes sense? So it's like

Players A, B, C, D &E:
A works best with B
B works best with C
C best with D
D best with E
E best with A

**Benny-Noons-Ghost** · 9-4-12,19:10

Also, Droid, could you tell your brother that he won't get my striker unless he plays 3mil minimum. Cheers.

i've just skimmed the site and it's looking a bit complicated and time consuming

i think i will have to decline but thank you for the offer

Not even 1.5 plus billy bendtner(same rating) and the two defenders

Your 2 defenders, I'm not interested.

Bendtner is what, 6 years older?

Why you so interested in Nijpstra anyway ?

Also, I've just had a look around on the site, and on the 'strongest teams' part from my division, I actually have the worst goalie in the division

Worst thing is - I bought him as an improvement on my other two!

oh it definitely looks interesting but it also looks as if it requires time and that is something i don't have a lot of these days

oooh, will look to expose that!

you haven't conceded yet though

fair enough mate

Yeah, I'm pretty confused by that

To be fair though, I think he's only had to deal with 2 shots on target

well my keeper's been in the team of the round every single time so far but in the last game sunderland seahawks only had one shot so i think some things about the game are slightly flawed

Fair enough.

Bendtner is not getting played here so he will play better when he goes to you.

I need to get my average age down and he seems the right guy. I'd even throw in a short term option of denilo who is 9 skill, but he is retiring.

1 mil + bendtner and denilo

You can get some high skilled old goalie for cheap from what i've seen so far. Thats my next move for improvement

Sorry mate - I'm taking him through the divisions with me

Given his age, he could still improve big time.

So, basically, 3mil or nowt.

**SoontobeChampions** · 9-4-12,19:40

Knew I should've went for Stoke and not Villa for the bonus

No problem. I thought you probably wouldn't sell but it was worth a try

Give me a week or so and i will give you another offer when i have money. Don't sell him to anyone else
