Week 8 processing

Real Betis WHV 5 39% but they were playing Barcelona.

too many players, 7 not playing. hopeful squad morale. 9 players on awful morale. 1 on poor. the rest on superb so the superbs are being held back by the others. no less than 7 central attackers for vying for 2 positions in the team.

poor wage structure WR84 on 15000 WR88 on 8000.

just too many players really the extra players empty your bank account and deplete your squad morale its best to decide to keep those you need and who you can fit in and just sell the rest.

Thought i pretty much solved the wage structure at Chelsea....any idea who's playing up?????

Plymouth FAS 5 59% posession Rooney TM sublime mom Anelka S2 average Robinho ST average Rosicky DL good Nasri DR average sub D'Alessandro DR average.

3 chances to everton 4. Cech saved all 4.

Champions Cup game FAS 5 49% possession 8 chances to Inter's 5. Rooney TM sublime mom. Robinho ST average Anelka S2 average. Rosicky DY superb. Hargreaves in at BW in place of Nasri good.

poor wage structure Anelka WR99 on 95000 and some WR97s on 150000. most players on superb morale, alot on normal form though, although that in itself is not a handicap it will mean that they do miss out on the good or superb bonus.

only 1 player not playing.

win bonuses need looking at as Rooney's is on poor effectiveness as is Robinho's and Nasri's, that might be why they are not playing up to their full potential in every situation.

players like Stevie Ireland not playing often enough or at all in his case as he is always on the bench and is an attitude 2 and will expect to play 50% in the first11, so you need to either sell him and replace him with attitude=3 or do a bit more squad rotation to keep him happy. even though he's on superb morale atm it might start to go down at sometime.

no all round coach.

Mceachran is WR90 but only earning 1000

most WR82s not earning 6000 the same as Gael Kakuta.

most 78s not earning 2000

are the obvious culprits

Paul can you enlighten on how to increase win bonuses? Presume it is a dealing for individual players or can I set an all-round win bonus?

Thanks

Ben

Lyon MIX 5 41% Ezequiel PM average 1 chance to Cannes's 13. Coutinho Gk superb saved 10 shots.

hopeful squad morale needs fixing. 6 players not playing.

2 language groups cos most of the non spanish speakers have been at the club for more than 80 weeks.

9 players on awful morale. most of the first11 on superb.

special actions incl WB and CB that effect the whole squad.

Watford SLO5 442 58% possession 4 chances to 3. 7 crosses

Abou Diaby PM good Charlie Adam P2 superb RH Lee superb LH Mcgeady superb mom CF Adebayor superb. cant get alot better than this really. 1-0 win.

Europa League game SLO5 442 60% possession

Alex Song PM good Borja Valero P2 good RH Osman good LH McGeady good CF Adebayor good. the two important players werent quite as good as in the league game and the result suffered as a result with a 0-0 draw, but still pretty good away in europe.

superb morale for almost everybody. good or superb form for alot of important players. superb squad morale. but 3 players not playing and bad club finances give 96% squad eff.

unbeaten now in six games.

slightly overstaffed with players and win bonuses need looking at as Adebayor's is on poor atm. so maybe sell a few of the excess players to raise some cash and spend it on bonuses.

player attitude is spot on too.

overall very good.

Ancona MIX 3 442 PM Totti sublime mom RH Ederson good LH Piatti quiet CF Cardozo average 5 chances to Roma's 3. 44% possession.

superb morale all round. superb squad morale.

3 players not playing needs looking at.

last three results have been a win against juventus, a draw at AC Milan and now this weeks win over high flying Roma, and things will continue to improve if jamie keeps his squad size under control.

win bonuses need looking at as Totti and Cardozo are only on awful.

got to be the most improved team of the season so far.

i sense theres alot of back office work to happen around the country this week!...

Charlton SLO 5 442 PM Ferguson average P2 Leiva superb DL Wilshere good DR Nolan superb CF Rodallega average. 49%. 6 chances to 3. won 4-1 very unusual for slow build up. Ferguson was sentoff on 85 minutes and Boro lost AM Oneill on 65 minutes but it was already 3-1 by then.

superb morale all round.

1 player not playing but he was only signed this week.

most players on at least good win bonus eff except becks of course he's on awful because his wage is so high.

I'm not surprised they are doing so well at home with 4 wins on the trot although away results are not as good, it may pay to play winghalves away from home if you are up against widemen as winghalves will help out your fullbacks in the wide areas whereas dynamos wont get involved until the ball comes inside. although I havent had a look at an away game so its only conjecture on my part.

Difficult to judge as I have played Watford, Chelsea and Spurs away from home so far this season. All difficult games.

Will definately consider it for my next away game though Paul, many thanks for the advice. A trip to the Walkers is next up, the annual grudge match.

Might give it a try, might not...eh Rich?

Thought that might be the case with Beckham. He's nothing but trouble that man!!

Need him though, as Barry saw the red mist...

Paul,

Just a quick question regarding players attitudes.

Do these change when players move clubs? ie. Are the attitudes set by the club the player is at, or is it just set by the player himself.

Could a player be attitude 1 at one club, then if he moves down a league, or even from feeder to parent, become attitude 2? Or will he always remain attitude 1 wherever he plays?

If that makes sense!

Nantes SLO5 442 PM Sahin average P2 Garcia good DL Lucas superb DR Hleb superb CF Leandro superb 51% 7 chances to 3. but only 4 shots on target 3 of which werent good enough to beat Frey in the oppositions goal.

allround a good performance against a strong Paris side who had the mom in TM Nilmar superb.

Europe League SLO5 51% only 2 chances to blackburns 3. but won 2-1. PM Guilerminho superb P2 Garcia superb DL Hleb superb DR Lucas sublime mom CF Leandro average.

good first team morale squad morale superb a couple of defenders on poor form.

6 players not playing. and only 94% squad eff.

no defenders are completely trained up.

almost non-existant win bonuses.

attitudes are set by the system depending on a players CR and AGE and wont change unless the player is reviewed in some way.

and of course the 250000 per week wage rule.

Thanks.

Fulham WIN6 433 instead of the normal 424. 39% possession. Tiago AM average. LW Robben poor. RW Valencia poor. CF Zamora average.

Palacios BW superb. Warnock LB superb mom. scored the only goal.

a lucky goal from Warnock won it against the run of play with palacios a giant in the middle against Aguero, Sergio never got a lookin really despite getting a superb performance rating.

i think what was happening here is that the BW was winning the ball, whereas normally it would be a AM, but BWs arent very clever they just look in front of them and pass it to the closest player, who in this case is Milner the dynamo, and he being a dynamo wont look to be creative at all, he'll just run up field for as long and as far as he can until he either shoots or loses the ball, which is what was happening, so the wingers werent being bought into play at all. The BW wont pass back to the AM cos he plays infront of the AM so DY was his only option. I think by dropping the BW and allowing the AM to play the creative role might have been more successful for Fulham when they were in possession but they certainly would have suffered had they not played the BW. So maybe its best not to play WIN away from home.

Playing a PM and switching to WHV and dropping the DY would have made them both more compact and more creative. 451 away from home.

Champions League FLY5 424 TM Pienaar sublime mom LW Hofbauer average RW Dempsey average CF Bent average. 48%.

Etuhu BW superb. 5 chances to Betis's 1.

this was fulham's second string team.

good squad morale with only 2 players on awful.

no players not playing.

only 2 players not on superb win bonuses.

Feyenoord FLY5 424 TM Elia good RW Gervinho average LW Mertens average CF Wolfswinkel average. 52% 3 chances to 1. all 3 saved.

AM Inler superb mom.

outnumbered in midfeild 2 to 5 and unable to maintain ball possession for any length of time. defence played well though with good performances.

Europa league against Wolves should have got hammered really, 0 chances to Wolves 11.

normal squad morale. 10 players on awful.

Blackpool FAS5 352 rather than the usual 433 TM Malbranque superb CF Donovan good. 44%. 2 chances to 4.

Cahill DY superb mom scored their goal.

superb squad morale. superb first team morale.

but 6 players not playing. and only 94% squad eff.

cant say much more about Blackpool as Ross doesnt get any of the printouts.
