Live From The Hatpub, It's Round 2 Of Cup Play!!! - Page 6

Havok · 04-09-2003, 11:22 PM

I drew a tough div 4 team. His whole team posts 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 stars. So i think ill just play my back-ups with a 5-4-1 and hope i dont get crushed to bad.

Ill have an opening in Week three for a friendly

The_herd · 04-09-2003, 11:44 PM

I drew a pretty weak Div V team, so hopefully, I'll be moving on to the next round.

His keeper has a 50k value and picked up a whopping 1/2 star in his last league match.

mrushh · 04-09-2003, 11:54 PM

I drew a team that has outscored teams 20-1 last 2 games. That's almost how many I scored all last season. Needless to say, I am at home.

The_herd · 04-09-2003, 11:56 PM

For some reason, I'm at home also.

If you want a friendly, just look me up. My Monsters were up 3-1 at the break but had a complete meltdown in the second half and lost 3-5. Crap.

sterlingice · 04-10-2003, 02:53 AM

I got my 2nd straight 9-0 win against some series VI guy, this time not computer controlled. Next week, I can win my cup game at home against a div IV team. This guy plays all out offense but leaves his middle open and plays the same asymmetric 3-4-3 every game. With some of DK's tactical advice, I should be able to take this guy. Still, he gets solids across his front line on attack.

At least now my main computer is back up and running so I should be able to get in some updates.

SI

GrantDawg · 04-10-2003, 03:06 AM

I ended up winning 5-0 (pretty cool you guys were following it early). For my reward, I get to play a IV team with the guy bragging on the front page he has 2 million to spend on forwards for next week!

QuikSand · 04-10-2003, 06:06 AM

My Cheapshots drew a bot team in round two, at their place. We notched a solid 3-0 win with a half-starter squad, and got some decent experience for a few reserves.

illinifan999 · 04-10-2003, 06:31 AM

I play a D4 team, whose goalie put up 3* last game, and I am probably going to lose to him. Oh well, time to start scouting out international teams for friendlies.

moriarty · 04-10-2003, 09:01 AM

By the way, check out the stats on my striker. This can't be right can it?? ? 213 Career goals (212 this season?).

Dang, maybe I should sell him.

NevStar · 04-10-2003, 09:16 AM

I play a div IV team. They haven't logged in in over 5 weeks, so their tactic won't be changing, but the amount of raw skill on the team will be tough to beat. They get an OUTSTANDING on left side attack!?!

DataKing · 04-10-2003, 09:49 AM

moriarty: Rocha is impressive! My best guy has 62 career goals.

Seriously, though, you probably want to notify a GM about Rocha. That certainly doesn't look right.

moriarty · 04-10-2003, 09:59 AM

Yeah, you're probably right Dataking.

I'm tempted to start him Sunday though just to see if he can score another 212 goals in his second league game.

dacman · 04-10-2003, 10:18 AM

It's a known bug -- many of the player cards got messed up after last weeks league games. I have a guy w/ 70 league goals this season when its actually 2.

mckerney · 04-10-2003, 10:22 AM

My forward has 55 goals instead of 2.

dacman · 04-10-2003, 10:28 AM

If you check your series top scorers leaderboard -- those goals are correct.

HornedFrog Purple · 04-10-2003, 11:46 AM

Well my scrub-Toads beat a bot team 5-1. Next we have a fellow Div V team yet again on the road. I don't think my scrubs will beat them so we will probably be out next round.

Ardent won 4-0 and he faces a Div V team also.

daedalus · 04-10-2003, 04:28 PM

The Calibiri drew a fellow D5'er who got a new owner at the end of last month.

By the way, does anyone know how they figure seeds to figure out who gets the home game?

NevStar · 04-10-2003, 04:30 PM

They use the order that you finished in your division, then (I think) points & goal differential.

GoldenEagle · 04-10-2003, 04:33 PM

Golden Eagles FC won 7-0

Up next, condors team in a match that will feature FOFC vs FOFC.

Don't mind me. I'm bored and feeling alliterative.

Airhog · 04-10-2003, 05:20 PM

Well, I have won my first two cup matches, hoping I can win a third

Airhog · 04-10-2003, 05:24 PM

Dola here, but I just pulled a Solid Keeper 19 years old

he's going into the starting lineup for sure

daedalus · 04-10-2003, 05:59 PM

Oh. Thanks, Nev.

Qwikshot · 04-10-2003, 07:38 PM

Incidently...how many have pulled decently at weak or less in youth league?

How much of a luck of the draw is it? If I'm at weak, is it still better to try for a keeper or are the odds sickenly high no matter what choice I have? We need Quiksand to do something about this.

Vince · 04-10-2003, 07:58 PM

Well, for what it's worth, my best pull ever was a Weak keeper. Pulled him when my Youth Squad was Weak.

Havok · 04-10-2003, 08:03 PM

What time does USA training take place?? i swear it changes every week

FrogMan · 04-10-2003, 08:04 PM

Qwik, can't help you here 'cause even when pulling keepers, I got only crap to show for it. Four WRETCHED keepers before getting and inadequate one. That last one is now my 2 stars backup and was pulled when my youth squad had just reached passable status...

I'd prefer it if you didn't.

I gave the froggy Canadian one a break due to his contributions to the FOFC Hattrick community, or something. Next time, I'll cook him up & hang him over HornedFrog Purple's stadium/swamp as a warning to all frogs.

Havok · 04-10-2003, 08:07 PM

my best pull ever has been 2 weak keepers. My squad is at Inadequte now. Probally wont be passable for a few weeks.

It's always been 0330 Friday morning HT Time (9:30pm EDT), but it won't finish anytime near there. Training in Sweden started 5 hours ago and is still not finished.

Where o' where has the new HT server gone? O' where o' where can it beeeeeee......

illinifan999 · 04-10-2003, 08:10 PM

I believe trainnig takes place at 8:30 CST, or 3:30 HT time.

illinifan999 · 04-10-2003, 09:44 PM

YAY!!!
Training seems to be done for my team. I had one player go up in skill:

Ted Ortega up from passable playmaking to solid playmaking.
Not happy with the form updates though. Many guys went down.

My keeper is now down to weak. I need him at at least inadequate. He usually gets 2.5*, now he is gonna drop.

Now just need to wait a season for my solid middies to hit excellent, and solid and I'm ready to start training something else.

illinifan999 · 04-10-2003, 09:46 PM

And dola, I hate people who get solid keeper pulls.

Also gotta add that people pulling anything solid (from their youth squad that is) really suck... Now I said it
