Yes, sort on ability is broken if there happens to be a guy with 100 skill.

However, my thing seems to be working better today…

While checking this I noticed a small bug: 100 is 00 if you try to sort on an ability.

Hi,
I’ve been messing about with the scouting reports, and now I noticed that the most recent reports are not viewable.

Can you add in an Age (turns)" column like you have put on the Coaching Report?

It’s been like this for a few ticks, and the same result has been at the top of the page each time. I’ve got no idea which reports are the newest (I delete the in-game email messages).

Thanks,

The message is not wrong, just unclear I guess. You have one GK transfer listed and the other one loan listed, that’s why you see the “small squad” message, the board does not count loan listed and transfer listed players so it considers him to be the only GK your squad is keeping at the moment.

Another player is not a problem. Probably it’s only a wrong message because I hired Coenen T1 of the current season.

I want to fire Lorenzo Coenen to make a free spot in my team but the board don’t let me.
They tell me my squad (fastticker) already is too small. I have 40 player from which 5 are loaned out. Bug?

Dennis Bakker, 26yr old midfielder with 86 average

Pressure handling: Good
Plays better against teams with the same class as his team (+3)

Unfortunately for me not so useful (I rarely play against same class), but for a lot of teams he will be.

Another couple improvements to scout searches:

  • when you update inactive scout searches they automatically become active
  • scout searches now have a sequential id that is referenced by in-game messages that advise you an on-going search has failed to find any suitable players

It is the best you can do to start with. Once he reaches a reasonable level I would try to loan him and see if he improve by playing matches (or you wait until the report tells you he needs to play matches). If you can’t loan him when he requires playing matches you can even play him in the field instead of as a GK, it still works (I know, unrealistic but can be pretty handy).

Despite the random factor there are some teams that win more than others. I would recommend trying to get some tips from the top managers or even try to watch their match replays and understand which player skills they value most. I usually do the latter.

Hi,
so I just got a youth keeper. He looks like he’ll be alright, though is obviously Class E, so my question is:

How do I best develop him so that he reaches his potential as efficiently as possible?

Obviously there is no way I can play him in games in the Premier League.

Nor would anyone loan for him, so no point hoping someone would loan for him and play him in any games.

Is all I can do is put Coaching Investments to 10?

So what do I do to better position my team to win?

Changes released earlier this week:

1) You can now create Reminders to be automatically sent to you in a future turn. They can be accessed from your Mail screen in the top right corner sub-menu
2) Fixed bug on coach report result where minimum predicted main skill could exceed 100
3) Scout reports are not deleted once you buy a player, they will still be accessible from the player info screen until they expire.

Should be easy…we can probably show a sequential number for each of your searches and include it in such messages.

“From: Scout
Subject: Scout Search result
One of your scout searches did not match any new players. We will start over using the same criteria. "

Is it possible to tell which scout report did not match? It’s hard to tell if you’re not online every turn. I want to know when I have to change the parameters because they are too aggressive. I don’t want to make it inactive every time.

Hmmm…that should only happen in a mobile interface or if your browser window is not maximised in a desktop/laptop. In any case I agree it is not nice and we should have the login option front and center in the home page!

Hi,
why is it that when I initially browse to goalfc.net, that the page I am greeted by is inconsistent?

Often, I need to:
- click on the drop down menu on the right
- scroll down a bit
- then click on ok to submit my username/password that is saved

Like, too much work man. Can we just have the username/password/submit button on the top or something? 1 mouse click, not all the extra mentioned above for no good reason.

Just make the interface simple to log in.

At this stage random is more likely.

There is probably a random factor in the game, or even a factor ‘form’. Because I have the same…

Friendlies against NPCs would be alright, we just need to add some logic to make them accept only in out of season dates. National teams sound interesting too!

Not so sure about forcing friendlies in pairs to ensure the away matches are accepted by the invitee. One way to work around this is first sending just the invitation to play at your home and then, when that match is close enough and can’t be cancelled, you send the invitation for your away match. I know, a bit cumbersome…I’ll think about what you said :-D

You know, i still have no idea how to win a match in this game.

Over a season, my squad often gets high enough to make cup matches. Ao i mostly win. Sometimes my exact same line up and rules make me lose 0-3 at home to far inferior npc teams.

I have zero ability to understand why? Why does a squad overall go great, but fail so miserably. No consistency.

How do i make good decisions and understand when 4x defenders is advantageous over 3 or 5?

Do you understand what i am trying to say?

Hi,
I still find it rude when a team, accepts a friendly invitation at their home, but ignores a corresponding invitation for away.

I guess the money is no different, but I still feel disrespected and ripped off.

Can we get either:
- the ability to request friendlies with NPC teams and NATIONAL teams
- submit a friendly invitation request, and it automatically creates a home and away game, and the requester can select which dates they are requesting. Thus the requestee can see both dates and decide if they want to accept or not, and do NOT get the option to delete 1 date, but can ONLY delete both.

I got screwed in 2 games where I lost at home 0-6 in total, missed out on getting to Champions League next season and getting into position to win Euro League.

Rather than swear heavily, started looking at what I can do to fix up stuff I see.

Well, I did swear heavily too.

If only Spartak Moscow had that sort of money :-)

Who knows, if I switch teams by the end of the season I may have enough money to afford him.

Errr…yeah, it is a known limitation of this page at the moment :-/
I’ve tried to fix it in the past in a nice way, maybe I’ll do it in an ugly way and allow it to be ordered like we allow the Position field.
