The Proletariat War: Sign up/Discussion

updated fixtures and boxes for the friendlies played so far.


CK - I found a couple staffers, but Thoresen is better than most, so I just signed him to a new contract as AM. As for your friendlies the season is still some time away so they are not fit yet so I dont know how much value you can put in them other than getting the players ready for the season. You still have plenty of friendlies to go, you do not need to schedule anymore, just pick team changes, or try different formations/tactics, decide AM duties, set different training etc.

To give you a starting idea about formations:

You currently use a 4-4-2 as shown in your tactics screen. You can check Pued's formation in his tactics screen (Zenith). He currently use a 3-4-1-2 formation. You can see every 'spot' available for players to move around in your own tactics screen (as I draged one player there so you could see the 'holes' where you can put players).

Also you can add arrows (as currently in screen5 on the frontpage) to any of the spot you can put players in. What the arrows do is moving the player to a different position when you are on offense (or defense if you use a back arrow). To use screen 5 as an example - Dinamo here defend with a flat 4-4-2 formation, but on offense they send their wingers (wide midfielders) into a more attacking position a little higher up. These arrows can go in any direction (back, forward, sideways, diagonal), and as long as they are not backwards the change is from defending to attacking. With backward arrows you show the 'attacking' formation as default and the arrows show what positions they take defending.

The arrows can also be as long as want (can have a defender run up all the way to attack if you please). But players with arrows will move more than players without arrows as they change position all the time, so it will tire them quicker, so players with low stamina should not be asked to do more than they can.

In addition to the formation part of the tactics you can add player/team instruction - you can find some infor about this in the links I put up at the page, but as CM4 has new options I will come back to this later also.

 

Just updated the site with Marc Vaughan's CM4 Guide. Good read for all, including those in our old league.

 

With EP3 finally out I have restarted and added Yattie here.

I forgot the info for the others, so either post the info here or tell me in chat.

 

About teams mentioned in this thread for the restart.

Standard - currently 13th in Belgium - so it should be safe to say that I will get them.

Xamax - currently 4th in Switzerland - and with 4 teams qualifying for Europe some sucking up is needed for Xamax to not qualify for Europe. Delemont is in the promotion group so if that is the backup plan they will need to finish top2 to stay in Division A.

Sigma O. - currently 7th in Czech Rep. (5 qualify). Not to far behind in points, but looking at their GD the 7th position look to be an overachievement so unless they get lucky they should be eligible when the season ends.

NAC Breda - currently 7th, 6 qualify for Europe, but there is a 5 pt gap to 6th, so they have some catching up to do to not be a valid entry.

Vitesse - currently 8th, same as NAC

Willem II - currently 14th - so should be safe.

Hibs - currently 3rd, 4 qualify - do not expect them to drop so I think Hibs will not be a valid team to manage.

 

I have now added back all the 4 spring leaguers - so we are ready to kick arse and chew bubblegum again.





And I can't find my gum.

 

I've updated a couple screens over again as we restarted with the EP3 (squad, contract, finances, fixtures) and put all manager options as shown in screen #6 at the page. I also manually added one physio to each training setup.

While we are moving up to the start of the different leagues, you should check if you want to change anything and if you want to schedule friendlies etc.

If you think you need to purchase some players you need to tell me ASAP as the transfer deadline is before the season starts. Should you not make it there will be a transfer window to add players in July, so it is not the only shot you have - so it was just FYI.

I'll start moving up now as Pued is in chat. The other spring leaguers start a couple week later so they should have a bit more time, but we will probably move so that they are in a similar position in a day or two.

As for updates at the site. If you want anything updated - put your request in here, and I will try to get to them as soon as possible.


Oh - and I also made sure everyone had an AM (appointed Thoresen for you again CK).

 

Sending out scouts or assigning them for stuff to do is also a nice option get done as soon as possible.

 

As no friendlies had been created for Brann, Lillestrøm and Helsingborg so far I created one for each of you a week prior to the league start up. If you want more please tell, although we might move up that far already tonight.

 

There is one option of looking for Youth players so I guess that is what I will do.

It might only look in your region though (Norway) but I guess we will see what reports they return with. Sent your 3 scouts looking for youth.

 

Moved up to the date of the friendlies I mentioned. Will do them tomorrow. If you are not around in chat you could put your options here.

 

All teams mentioned in this thread 'cept Hearts (although they might be too) are available to be picked in the league as autumn leagues are ending their seasons.

Just confirm that you want to take the team you wanted earlier and I can start thinking about adding players. If you would like another team, ask about them here.

Others can also still sign up, so any question etc - feel free to add them.

I hereby claim Standard Liege.

 

well I was talking about posting about it at SI boards

but if we do not get it fixed by testing out it will have to be an offline league only
