No, he is just used to one of my guys getting a red card.

I wouldn't flatter yourself. It's the socks, man. Buy a washing machine; those things are rotting!

Chief Rum

There are 5 divisions in the US, so you're in the next to last division, I'd say most people get teams in division 5.

There are not positions per se. Rather, players have specific abilities, and it is up to you to determine by these abilities where each person should play. There seems to be a pretty good run down of this in the about link, but I didn't look at it but for a second. Basically, try to find players with certain abilities that look to go well with certain positions (i.e. defending, wing, and stamina for the wing; defending, passing and stamina for the center d)

Hope that helps.

edit: Matches are played around 8 pm eastern (5 pacific I guess) on Sundays and Wednesdays I think. Lineups 15 minutes prior for each.

PilotMan · 02-23-2003, 10:44 PM

I think its a 4-5-1.....I too play a 4-5-1. Check this out:

The team is undefeated for 10 competition games and has 10 wins in a row

AHHHHHH YYYYAAAAAAAAA. Can you feel it?

Coffee Warlord · 02-23-2003, 10:47 PM

You freaks and your 4-5-1's.

Run and Shoot is where it's at, boys. Defense is for wimps.

edit: And as proof of the power of the 3-5-2 run and shoot, 2 of my players are tied for the top scorers in the series, and I have another on the top 10 list.

Goal differential of 40-32. Yessir, just keep the ball away from my defensive front and we rock.

HornedFrog Purple · 02-23-2003, 10:49 PM

Chief since you have an idea of positions from CM I would download this:

http://www.lokesoftware.dk/osr/hattrick/ham/index.htm

Its Hattrick Assistant Manager, it will download your team file and label your guys in their best position.

I would also strongly recommend reading this page. There is a ton of info in there.

Defense is definately good for me... How about this record since I took over:

Midwest Ice Storm FC 7 24 - 2 21

Its not 10 goals per match though.

I'd suggest staying away from Horned and his socks. I'd also suggest a high flying, exciting offense. Should you trust a guy who's going on his fourth year in D5

?

Love ya Horned!

Check back on this post in 2007. I warned you now.

Poli · 02-23-2003, 11:07 PM

Is that when you plan on advancing to D4?

PilotMan · 02-23-2003, 11:30 PM

I was thinking that we should try and raise the power of FOFC in hattrick by getting all the current teams to supporter status and build our fed.

None of us are high now, but imagine the possibilites when we develop our teams to that level. What if the FOFC fed had 50 supporters?

Just a thought. Albeit a cool idea.

Easy Mac · 02-23-2003, 11:41 PM

To join a fed you have to be a supporter, correct?

PilotMan · 02-23-2003, 11:45 PM

yes, about the price of a magazine subscription.

around $20

Poli · 02-23-2003, 11:48 PM

Yep, I did it. Cost just over 20 bucks...for a year that's pretty cheap. I've got games I payed 50 for that I wish I hadn't...but this 20 I'm glad.

Easy Mac · 02-23-2003, 11:49 PM

Damn, why couldn't it be like SAAP where I paid 25 for lifetime updates... Guess I'll have to wait til after books next term.

HornedFrog Purple · 02-23-2003, 11:50 PM

Well to be perfectly honest, 99.9% of all discussion goes on in this board. The goal when ardent and I formed the fed was to get people in a more familiar surrounding and we tossed the idea back and forth about having a tournament. We didnt even know if we could pull the first one off.

Next season will be massive as we have 50+ teams on the list so a change in format to group play may be a necessity for the Cup. I have to ponder that pretty quickly.

Easy Mac, yeah but you dont have to be a supporter to play in the FOFC Cup or consolation rounds or anything.

Just in perspective, the lowest fed on the top-15 has 200-something members. I never dreamed we would be hitting 20 members by now.

PilotMan · 02-23-2003, 11:52 PM

You know whats expensive? Playing Sporting News Strat O Matic Online. Its a great game and a lot of fun. I fact I spent a lot of last summer playing it but at $25 per team, with a season lasting just a few weeks I am glad I have found some other equally entertaing and much easier on the pocketbook games. See my sig.

Those were the days, huh, Horned? It certainly didn't look like hattrick would get off the ground at first. Not that we cared...we liked hattrick anyway!

Horned, you can email me the ideas if you'd like. We'll definitely have to group it up next year I'm afraid. Yuck I hate group play. Single elimination...ya da ya da ya da 352...451...yeah I know...we never agree!

Easy, we had talked about just fed members...but we wanted everyone at fofc to have the opportunity to play. I don't want to exclude anyone (like you, for example) that can't afford supporter.
What's the fun in that?

Easy Mac · 02-24-2003, 12:05 AM

DOn't worry, eventually I was going to either do the supporter thing or the HAM reg. But I haven't really used HAM in a couple days, and I'd rather have a logo.

As for supporter, you could always pay 5 or 6 bucks to get the 3 month subscription.

Very true, and nothing is in the bag just yet. We just beat Ramblers to take over 1st place, and we have to play the 3rd and 4th place teams yet tbis season. It should be an interesting run.

Maybe I'm just greedy, but I want to be the first FOFC team to reach Division 3.

Doug5984 · 02-24-2003, 12:52 AM

Which of these 2 keepers should I start? Fernandez was the listed keeper when i got the team, but in his first game her gave up 6 goals

.

Quote:

David Fernández (8440211)
28 years, solid form, healthy

Wage: 680 US$/week
Owner: Louisiana Cyclones
Warnings: 0

Stamina: disastrous Goaltending: poor
Playmaking: disastrous Passing: wretched
Winger: disastrous Defending: disastrous
Scoring: disastrous Set Pieces: inadequate

or

Quote:

Curtis Moore (8373383)
21 years, passable form, healthy

A popular guy who is calm and honest.
Has disastrous experience and wretched leadership abilities.

Nationality: USA
Assessed value: 17 000 US$
Wage: 600 US$/week
Owner: Louisiana Cyclones
Warnings: 0

Stamina: wretched Goaltending: poor
Playmaking: disastrous Passing: disastrous
Winger: disastrous Defending: disastrous
Scoring: disastrous Set Pieces: poor

They are both poor in goaltending...should I start Moore who is younger, and rated the same, or should I start Fernandez who is older has more experience, but gave up 6 goals...Should I get rid of the guy who is not going to start for me? And lastly Fernandez has [Technical] next to his information when I look at my players, what does this mean?

Also, is anyone up for a friendly this week, my team # is 72080.

bbor · 02-24-2003, 12:54 AM

Buy a new tender....make sure he is at least Passable...i would'nt start either of those guys unless it was in a friendly.

DataKing · 02-24-2003, 12:58 AM

I agree with bbor 100%. Those guys should be working the McDonalds drive-thru, not tending the net.

PilotMan · 02-24-2003, 01:07 AM

Passable is quite expensive to start, even if you were in a crunch, an inadequate goalie maybe better suited. Could be a 75000 price diff. I have been winning with one, in fact he just improved to passable.

I have one for sale on the transfer market now..

Peter Hastings
113 000 US$, 21 years, passable form
Has disastrous experience and wretched leadership abilities

Stamina: wretched Keeper: inadequate
Playmaking: disastrous Passing: disastrous
Winger: disastrous Defending: disastrous
Scoring: disastrous Set Pieces: weak

Currently going for 26000, ends in about 10 hrs.

I think most passable goalies will go near 100000, though you may find one a little cheaper. I also agree you will need to work toward a better keeper if you want your team to improve.

Poli · 02-24-2003, 09:03 AM

If you have to, start the one with solid form.

dacman · 02-24-2003, 09:06 AM

I picked up a passable keeper (21yo) with passable form for $115,000 a couple of weeks ago. Inadequate keepers usually run $25-35,000. I'd spend the money to get at least 1 inad. keeper.

In other news, I just got a passable coach with 1 try. I'm a lucky SOB.

Edit: wrong keeper age

Thanks for all the help guys, I am going after a passable and an inadequate keeper...right now the passable is less but his price will probably skyrocket so I will more than likely try to get the inadiquate guy.

I got a passable coach with my first try also, this morning i saw my coach was poor so i fired him and luckly got a passable guy.

PilotMan · 02-24-2003, 10:02 AM

You guys both suck it cost me 180000 to get my passable coach.

vex · 02-24-2003, 10:55 AM

I spent $400,000 trying to get an upgrade from my passable coach. After $400,000, I settled for another passable coach

Poli · 02-24-2003, 11:02 AM

I suppose the solid coach will be my next venture after the solid keeper.

Easy Mac · 02-24-2003, 11:18 AM

I'm thinking about changing my coach as he's wretched with poor leadership. But right now my team is composed and has strong confidence. Should I get the better coach and take a hit in confidence and spirit, or should I ride this one out until the stuff goes down.

Poli · 02-24-2003, 11:20 AM

I'd get the better coach immediately.

Easy Mac · 02-24-2003, 11:29 AM

Would you guys say this coach is OK?

Lloyd Elrod (8486894)
34 years, disastrous form, healthy

A inadequate coach who goes all out
A pleasant guy who is temperamental and honest.
Has excellent experience and passable leadership abilities

Now everytime I look at him I'm going to be thinking of Lord Elron for some reason... then it will lead me to the Matrix... " I'm going to enjoy watching you die Mr Anderson"..."My name, is Neo"

Poli · 02-24-2003, 11:35 AM

Two more types of coaches are better....
Passable coach that goes all out
Solid Coach that goes all out.

It's up to you to determine if you want to go further. Since you're just beginning...you may not want to fork any more money over.

DataKing · 02-24-2003, 11:35 AM

Elrod looks like he should be able to get the job done for you, at least for the time being. While only an inadequate coach, he's got good experience and leadership abilities, as well as a pretty good personality.

I'd say keep him for the time being. Wait until you have a season or two under your belt (and are hopefully in Division IV) before going for another one.

Easy Mac · 02-24-2003, 11:40 AM

Thanks guys. Now time to find players

DataKing · 02-24-2003, 11:42 AM

I was just going to dola-post. You're probably better off right now spending on players.

Easy Mac · 02-24-2003, 11:45 AM

oh yeah, and if my player gets a red in a league game (2 yellows, but whatever), is he out for the next league or the next friendly, or both?

Poli · 02-24-2003, 11:47 AM

Just the league match.

Doug5984 · 02-24-2003, 02:20 PM

How much should I start off spending right away? Currently I have bought 2 very cheap guys ($1,000 & $2,000) and 1 expensive (atleast to me) keeper for $28,000. This is my first week with the team and I don't want to put them into debt right away...So how much money should I devote to trying to find some good players for my roster?

Edit: What would you guys suggest I do with this guy:
Lou Lynch
145 000 US$, 28 years, inadequate form
Has wretched experience and solid leadership abilities

Stamina: weak Keeper: wretched
Playmaking: inadequate Passing: passable
Winger: wretched Defending: passable
Scoring: passable Set Pieces: poor

He is passable in defending, passing, and scoring...I am thinking I will be running the 4-5-1 since my coach likes a defensive game, should I use him as a mid-fielder? Forward? Defender?

Coffee Warlord · 02-24-2003, 02:38 PM

I'd play him as a midfielder, depending on the rest of your team. If you have a lot of playmakers on your team, he'd also make a good choice for an offensive central defender.

And, as for how much to spend...

Don't get 350,000 in debt like I am right now. 'Nuff said.

DataKing · 02-24-2003, 02:49 PM

Doug5984: Like Coffee Warlord mentioned, it depends on what other sorts of players you have. Lou looks like he'd be best played at either forward or defender. If you have a better option at one of those positions, then consider playing him at the other one.

I do see one problem with having Lou on your team, however. I see that he has the highest leadership rating on your club, which means that he is automatically the team "clown." This means that he is sort of the "locker room leader" of the team. Combine that with his "nasty" personality, and he may have a detrimental affect on your team's spirit and confidence.

Now, having said that, don't run right out and sell him. He's the most highly valued player on your team, and has some talent. Just be aware of the fact that he may be having detrimental "side-effects."

Could be a 75000 price diff. I have been winning with one, in fact he just improved to passable. I have one for sale on the transfer market now.. Peter Hastings 113 000 US$, 21 years, passable form Has disastrous experience and wretched leadership abilities Stamina: wretched Keeper: inadequate Playmaking: disastrous Passing: disastrous Winger: disastrous Defending: disastrous Scoring: disastrous Set Pieces: weak Currently going for 26000, ends in about 10 hrs. I think most passable goalies will go near 100000, though you may find one a little cheaper. I also agree you will need to work toward a better keeper if you want your team to improve. __________________ He's just like if Snow White was competitive, horny, and capable of beating the shit out of anyone that called her Pops.

dacman College Benchwarmer Join Date: Oct 2000 Location: speak to the trout	I picked up a passable keeper (21yo) with passable form for $115,000 a couple of weeks ago. Inadequate keepers usually run $25-35,000. I'd spend the money to get at least 1 inad. keeper. In other news, I just got a passable coach with 1 try. I'm a lucky SOB.

vex Grizzled Veteran Join Date: Jul 2001 Location: Tulsa	I spent $400,000 trying to get an upgrade from my passable coach. After $400,000, I settled for another passable coach

Easy Mac Registered User Join Date: Nov 2001 Location: Here	I'm thinking about changing my coach as he's wretched with poor leadership. But right now my team is composed and has strong confidence. Should I get the better coach and take a hit in confidence and spirit, or should I ride this one out until the stuff goes down.

Poli FOFC Survivor Join Date: Apr 2002 Location: Wentzville, MO	I'd get the better coach immediately. __________________ Cheer for a walk on quarterback! Ardent leads the Vols in the dynasty forum.

Easy Mac Registered User Join Date: Nov 2001 Location: Here	Would you guys say this coach is OK? Lloyd Elrod (8486894) 34 years, disastrous form, healthy A inadequate coach who goes all out A pleasant guy who is temperamental and honest. Has excellent experience and passable leadership abilities Now everytime I look at him I'm going to be thinking of Lord Elron for some reason... then it will lead me to the Matrix... " I'm going to enjoy watching you die Mr Anderson"..."My name, is Neo"

Poli FOFC Survivor Join Date: Apr 2002 Location: Wentzville, MO	Two more types of coaches are better.... Passable coach that goes all out Solid Coach that goes all out. It's up to you to determine if you want to go further. Since you're just beginning...you may not want to fork any more money over. __________________ Cheer for a walk on quarterback!

DataKing Pro Rookie Join Date: Nov 2001 Location: Chicago	Elrod looks like he should be able to get the job done for you, at least for the time being. While only an inadequate coach, he's got good experience and leadership abilities, as well as a pretty good personality. I'd say keep him for the time being. Wait until you have a season or two under your belt (and are hopefully in Division IV) before going for another one. __________________ Current Games Diablo III (BattleTag: DataKing#1685) Allegiances: Chicago Bears - Detroit Red Wings - Kansas Jayhawks Awards: 2011 Golden Scribe - Other Sports Category (The Straight(away) and Narrow - A Forza Motorsport 3 Dynasty)
