![]() It seems like my players improve in stuff that I don't train, if that is possible at all... if not.. then maybe their playmaking has gone up quite abit, since some of my players seem suited for starting, and I have them on the bench... and some seem like they should be playing in another position... here is my team, followed by who I start.
I play the 3-5-2 lineup so I can train max people at Playmaking...

but that's it for now. See any lineup changes that I should make? Sell anyone? Buy anything? All input appreciated, thanks! |

The lineup you have appears to be good- the only thing is Dodd should be your starter at forward once his form gets better, although Gamachece's form is poor so you would probably want to start Dodd over him anyway. Besides that your lineup looks good....and that is a nice midfield you have, although you should consider training stamina for a week or 2 to get their stamina up from weak (mainly St-Laurent & Dorsey).

Your overall form is pretty bad. Are you just coming off training stamina? If not, I would raise your training intensity (it helps keep form up). I run 100% w/ 5 physios and while I do have more injuries than some, I'd rather have that than a bunch of guys with weak or worse form.
You probably could use a little more stamina in midfield. A better scorer looks like the best place to upgrade. Buy? How about some better trainees --- if you're going with the playmaking route I would have (and I do have) at least 8 of my 10 middies 20 or younger (maybe they're there and I'm not seeing them?). Saint-Laurent is 24, Connell is 23 --> one of these guys should probably go unless you think you can wait 1+ seasons for them to pop. Use that cash for some younguns on the B team midfield and train away.

This is a pretty nice team. I'm guessing you've augmented it a bit since you bought it.
GK: Kenney DW: Hiley, Vanier DM: Aubin WI: Saint-Laurent (towards middie), Bernhardsson MI: Eskitzis, Zadylak, Connell FO: Gamache, Quick/Dodd Definately work on your form- you might want to do some general training as much as that really doesn't help your other stats. Then again, my lineup above doesn't include form. I think you would be helping yourself a lot if you put Zadylak at middie and move Laurent to wing but that assumes you can get Zadylak's form up. At this point, I think it's time to start snagging trainees. You especially need middies who are 17yo with Inad Playmaking (and good stamina) or 18yo with passable and as many other good skills as possible. Secondly, you'll want to make sure to get some good wingers: 17-19yo with passable wing, inad playmaking or better. The rest of your B team is just windowdressing to help you win friendlies and backups should your guys get injured or form hurt a lot. SI

Not unless you really have to. I think that's one of the major mistakes people here make early on. Selling your players and then replacing them with cheap alternatives and upgrading is a good idea if you know the market but you just started so unless you really need the cash- I wouldn't sell them at all. You don't have any glaring holes like most people. All you need is a little stamina training and some for recovery and you have a pretty good team. SI

Saint-Laurent looks like a good candidate for an offensive midfielder, if you don't need him on the wing.
Other than that, the line-up looks decent to me. And I agree with what has been said about trainees and a better forward. Just out of curiousity (I'm a defender/wingback trainer kinda guy ![]()

He puts up 2 to 2 and a half all the time. Best match was putting up 3.

With some stamina training and good form, he can put up ***~ Not someone you want to sell unless you have to and know exactly how that would fix your team. SI

I'm training stamina this week and next. And then form for the next two weeks probably.
Didn't know good stamina and form does that much... |

Good form can make quite a difference, but stamina doesn't do that much for defenders. The only important thing for defenders is to have stamina of at least inadequate, otherwise you get the occasional "tired defender" event goal.

I thought he was a middie. As a middie, stamina means tons. I have a solid middie who gets * because of his wretched stamina as opposed to **~ and *** from my starting middies. SI

I was asking about Hiley, his wingback.

Oops- I wasn't reading that closely. I thought we were still talking about Saint-Laurent. SI
