Dola.

Frogman thanks so much for the stats...I'm amazed to be doing so well, I'm glad I finally figured things out enough, hopefully I'll last the season now...

My heartfelt suggestion, so you last the season: STOP SPENDING

Easier said than done, I'm a compulsive buyer myself

Funny you say that. I checked your division on HATStats USA a few minutes ago. Even though some things look kinda weird on the site (your team is still listed as a computer team), it looks like they retrieved all the ratings and I would think their series rankings for div V would be fairly accurate. Well anyway, your series is listed as the 8th toughest of all div V series in the USA...

Mine is listed as only the 180th or so toughest in Canada, division V.

Actually I have, I have 90k from selling my British 18 keeper, and that has helped, I'm eyeing a cheap solid defender tho, it's hard to look away at one of those if he's under 50k...besides, then I can have versatility at 4-3-3 or the ever growing popular 4-5-1.

I've curbed, I've got a poor keeper as a backup now for Saphou...and I'm waiting on my next youth pull (again going for a keeper)...maybe I'll get an inadequate and drop the new guy, maybe I'll hit paydirt...at least I'm not near Afoci..sheesh, 469k, I'd already have my application ready...

This might be where you'll have a harder time, your youth pulls. That is unless you're of the lucky kind, which it looks like I'm not. Darn I pulled FOUR wretched keeper before getting an inedaquate this week. My youth squad just popped to passable this week...

And I'm currently 366K C$ in the red (that's 183K U$), but I got a 12000 seats stadium, which I filled with 10515 happy fans in my first home game after the upgrade...

Very cool, I'm glad I haven't expanded...that's where the debt would really come in, especially if I get hammered...the other league with the Qwakers I had no problem holding my own...this one, I may accept the relegation and hammer on some VI's, hopefully get pushed up to a different V division (THIS IS WORST CASE SCENARIO-I don't intend to do it)

That defender is still out there cheap...7 minutes left, gotta go bid.

Reason I decided to upgrade right now is because I felt like my new home in div V (just got relegated) was a pretty easy division, with 7 bot teams. So I felt like I could go and repay most of it in a matter of a few home games and then maybe get another upgrade before the end of the season, that would then assure me of a steady income in the future...

The sick truth about Hattrick.

We all turn into shopping crazy women when it comes to spending money on players.

I swear, am I the only one who only makes purchases for things I need?

I haven't made a purchase in the past month except to get a forward to give me a complete team of 11 + 11 + 2 (clown, coach).

SI

I remember when I use to be able to purchase players, I would search the transfer markets all over the world for deals and then impulsively overbid on someone I didn't need driving me further in debt. Then, $200k in debt, no more transfer list players...so sad.

The scary thing is that I /have/ money to burn and I'm not! Though I think I'm going to pull an outfield player this week...when can we pull one, saturday or sunday?!?

i think quik needs to have a crawfish attached to his sack, that squeezes whenever he goes to the transfer wire.

Well here's my plan...I don't plan on contending this year...unless by some act of God I can get a couple of solid strikers (Grewar and Zabawa)...or some wonderful youth pull...if things go really bad...I'm going to sell off another solid defender (I'll start with old man Ollie first)...build a stadium, grab a few inadequate/pass defenders, and train train train, even if it knocks me into VI...I don't think that it will...but if it does, I should have a good team...plus, I feel, that I can tangle with all my FOFC compadres, and still be able to generate high revenue...but for now, I have my best team ready for Ring of Fire (I'm using a different tactic)...good luck to me.

Being mean has nothing to do with being a cheater. My players must have a chip on their shoulders this year because they were never this mean before. Maybe its because I changed out my clowns.
