Week 12 Training Results
Behold the power of a good training program! We’ve received more good news this week on the training front, as wingback William Brown has improved to solid defending.
William Brown
20 years old, passable (6) form, healthy.
A pleasant guy who is fiery and dishonest. (He’s a good guy, unless you piss him off.)
Has disastrous (1) experience and weak (4) leadership abilities.
Specialty: Quick
Nationality: U.S.A.
Assessed Value: $59,000
Wage: $670/week
Stamina: Inadequate (5)
Playmaking: Poor (3)
Winger: Inadequate (5)

William was purchased way back in August, when we first formed Screamin’ Seamen FC, for a paltry $5,000. His assessed value at the time was $13,000, and has more than quadrupled in the past two seasons.
Form Changes
5 players saw their form increase from last week.
15 players had their form remain the same.
3 players saw their form drop from last week.
Ruben Stewart must love the idea of playing for someone else. Now that he is on the transfer market, his form jumped two levels this week, up to inadequate (5). His assessed value jumped by $7,000 as well. It figures.
Bidding for Ruben currently sits at $17,000.
In The Zone
Goalkeeper Darryl Read remains “in the zone” with excellent (8) form, and is joined this week by two of our defensive trainees; Norwegian Christian Kvam and Spaniard Zarpas Lerma. While the two 18-year-olds are certainly playing good soccer at the moment, they simply are not skilled enough to start for us, barring injury or suspension to one of our starters.
I don’t know that the term “form dog” really applies any longer, because the lowest form on the team currently is inadequate (5). Four of our players are at this level right now, and all of our other players are in passable (6) or better form.
Value
Average Player Value: $102,043 (-$1,548)
Total Player Value (excluding Ruben Stewart): $2,300,000 (+$21,000)
Up Next: The weekly financial update and youth pull. On Sunday, we play host to Neon Genesis Evangelion, who we narrowly defeated 3-2 back in week two. It looks like it will be a good matchup. Stay tuned!
