Very nice. A newspaper is definitely in our plans, and this post is a very good example of something we would really appreciate to show there!

In the past 3 seasons and in the upcoming seasons we’ve seen and we will continue to see some of the greatest players say bye to the game and retire, such is the case of French Forward André Lechat, at 35 years it is known that he only has a couple of years left of playing soccer, although he new has a rating of 89 in shooting he is till an undisputable starter. He has been with Caen (France) ever since Season 1 Turn 1. He has played 716 official matches and has scored 658 goals to be named one of France best players of all times, he has been the Top Scorer for Ligue 1 in France 5 times making season 2 the top scorer of all the leagues with 46 goals. Lechat’s only downfall is the poor productivity in international competitions, with Caen qualifying for international competitions about 12 times in their history, Lechat has played 28 international games and only scored 7 goals 6 in UEFA Cup and only 1 goal in CL, scoring his last international goal in season 8.

Although he has not scored many goals in International matched he is still be considered one of France biggest stars of all times.

Do you have a “Legend” that has retired, is retiring this season or will retire in the next couple of seasons?

Hi Guys,

dont know is you have anything about this, or if you guys are currently working on this, but I thought that it would be cool if every season there would be a Player of the year, the player that made the biggest impact to his team, and help his team achieve great success, it can be eather by statistics (i.e. best average ranking, most goals, most goals in important situation, most improved, etc) or by voting like in real life, have about 10-12 representatives from each country vote for their top 5 players who they think are the best of the game, and give them points (1st place gets 5 points, 2nd place gets 4 points 3rd place gets 3 points and so no…like in real life) that way we can get a player that is named “Ruby Player of the Year” or however you want to name it. what do you guys thik?

We’ll add minimum coaching level for loans in the future. After the new improvement system is in place that shouldn’t be a big deal as poor coaching will only cause slower improvement, but if the loaning team uses your player on official matches it may be better than yourself using the player on friendlies if the coaching difference is not that big.

Benfica has won 4 in a row in the Portuguese League, and they may extend that this very season. He has done a great job with his team, and I’m sorry that I can’t give him enough competition, as I don’t have enough time to improve the mighty Desportivo das Aves where I wanted ;) Kudos to Filipe, too!

It would be better if the manager could choose the teams he want to loan the player, and reject the others. I’m trying to loan my players to teams with high couching level but every time other team make an offer I have to remove the player from the loan list and put him again…

… but there also should be some new income sources:
- tv broadcast I: cash for all teams of a league, depending on the nations ranking and the league table position (champion gets most, relegated teams the least)
- tv broadcast II: for reaching round of 16, quarter, semis and the final should be a bonus paid to the participating teams (for national cups and international aswell, increasing by rounds)
- contract clauses: “re-selling”-percent, when a player you sold gets transfered again you get e.g. 1% of the new trasfer fee; this could be selling contract option

… currently money an come from sponsors, merchandising, tickets and sales. the first three sources should be depending on your teams performance. selling player is the most direct way to generate cash.
but all sources have in common, that you need a capable players (for your strategy). And the acquisation & development of players is essential. The first years you might need to sell some of your best newbies for building up a stock.
I think some manager just lack some patience and persistency.

Thanks Javier.

The previous season Napoli was a great opponent. Alexander’s team will become a tough client in the next seasons. I hope Italy will become stronger in the following seasons.
Now I have to reach back the final in Europe. The last seasons in CL were unsatisfactory.

Dirk

I think the problem is that many poor teams don’t have an idea to make some money.

probably there are some rich and less very rich clubs, so what? Like in real life football.
We have to get specific in an economic discussion here, what the goal shall be …

… e.g. wealth for all
… proportional bonus payments for all league teams (participation)
… award winning bonus payments
… tbc

i mean it’s always easy to say the rich ones getting richer, the small teams don’t stand a chance to develope, etc. That’s too narrow minded imov. With some effort everyone has a chance to get big here.
But i agree that the economic system still needs some adjustment.

I think exists a great diference betwen the rich and poor teams. But the cash awards would not solve this problem because the richs would recive more and the gap would grow… only if the awards distribued taken in consideration the expectation of the board for the competition…

I have a bunch of talented players who can help a lower division team to promote.

Check Espanyol youth players and grab the ones you prefer. If you want someone who’s not on the list, drop me a line and we’ll talk! Please do not bid if you won’t give my lads a first team chance.

You can add a new loan condition as there are now for duration and wage. Let the player’s manager adjust the number of official matches the loaned player has to play. When he plays less there will be no fee if there is a recall.
There are 38 league matches in most competitions and some cup matches possible. So let’s say that the maximum number of matches is 30. A player can be injured or suspended.

I also think that the process of choosing the loaning team can’t be fully automatic like Philipp already said.

Right, we need more strict rules for loans. There is already an enhancement planned for eliminating the fee if loan conditions are not met or the managers agree on the termination.

Loaning will become valuable, that’s good. But as a manager you wanna loan players to adaquate teams and reliable magagers. Therefore the last decision about the team to be loaned to should stay in the hand of the players manager. So this process shouldn’t be totally automatic.

Later, if a recall is reasonable (loaned player doesnt play), there should not be a penalty fee paid. In other cases the fee should be kept.

Looking at the database I found out the average amount of money on non-cpu teams from FastTicker is around 18 mill. The total amount of money available in FastTicker is 4.8 billions. A few months ago it was around 2.5, so we can see this is growing. Player wages are too low in my opinion, there are some changes planned for that including contract clauses and considering player importance in the squad when renewing contracts.

Regarding sponsorship, it’s based on the team’s performance while merchandise is based on players quality.

Cheers!

I didn’t see that coming. There was a problem on cpu against cpu friendlies so I removed them all. I’ll try to figure out what’s going with those matches before I add them back. Sorry guys.

Cheers!
