Season 35 Week 5 processing...

Brazil

Botafogo 15 +8 Champions
Vasco 13 +9
Fluminense 10 +4
Recife 9 +5
Sao Paulo 9 +1

Botafogo continue to dominate the Brazilian football scene thanks mainly to the superb form of Neymar and Casemiro. The fans will be hoping they can guard against complacency and continue to impress...

Scotland

Celtic 11 +8 Champions
Raith 11 +4
Aberdeen 10 +2
Airdrie 9 +7
Falkirk 9 +1
Rangers 9 +1

The Scottish title race is going to be close this season although Falkirk's bubble seems to have been burst. Celtic sit top, ominously, with both Aberdeen and Rangers within striking distance should they slip up...

Coaching now...

Email turns all sent out, any issues please let me know...

Thanks Paul

Quick one in the quite a few of the games, every time a new action takes place the report repeats the fact that the opposition enjoyed their changing room

Not impacting the games but might want to look into it as it makes the report a tad challenging to read

Thanks

Ben

And mine, but only the league game...

Same as above, hard to read

I didn't have this but I played away this turn and you all played at home.

Hi Paul, sorry I've just noticed this but 

A675 ALVIN AYMAN        

seems to be on £550,002 a week instead of £55,000.  Hopefully this was just a typo and easily fixed?

Many thanks

I can confirm that Watford did not enjoy their changing room.

I think the away team were distracted and affected there on field performance 

As I thought. There was some issues with memory variables again and one of the fields used to record what happens during the match was corrupted. This only affected a few match reports. When the match generator went to check the status of the changing rooms the variable had been corrupted during the game reset. Didn't affect the outcomes at all.

In order to prevent a recurrence I need to stop loan players going to non-league clubs. Using non-league clubs during the game reset can greatly increase memory usage sometimes which was the cause of this corruption.

I will also have to remove the ENDLOAN dealing. Loanees will automatically return once they reach 24 years of age.  

If these changes impact you then let me know.

I think losing endloan might be an issue. Could we keep it for 1 more week to reset teams if needed?

No. If anyone needs resetting let me know who.

Perfect. Thanks Paul.

Thanks Paul!

Regarding the loan changes, sorry if I being dense (again)….

- I currently have players on loan at non league clubs I think, will they now get returned to my clubs immediately or are they staying on loan? 

- With the removal of ENDLOAN does that mean players are stuck on loan until they are 24, there is no way of getting them back in between? 

Thanks

On Tom’s point - if you get an offer for a player on loan - does that mean can never accept it? Or what about players on loan who you might want to recall at some point?

Or can it only be done at the end of the season - as in real life?

LOAN players - need some clarification P.

I presume my own loan players are all unaffected as they are at A19 Ferro, an unmanaged ARG Div 1 side (so not non-league)? Although, if Ferro get relegated to non-league, that would be problematic?

The removal of ENDLOAN though, is that just for loanees at non-league clubs? If not, then that is going to be problematic for all of us really, as we must be able to manoeuvre these players around...
