Brandon Brasseur (turned 21 this season)
A very good young gun from Toulouse Youth Academy.
he has had a very steady youth career on the whole, and still has pretty much skills left to improve. With my reckoning it could be around 60-70 points left. (pretty much because he left the academy very early)

How many like him are around in the game these days ???

i don’t think he was trying to do that… he has 4 goal keepers (2 of which are ok and one is very very good) and he just got relegated this season from a quite comfortable position …
WTF…
http://www.rubysoccer.com/game/match_report/1630602
i always wanted my team to win… but i don’t think my team is so good that it can thrash someone 11-0
Toulouse -—————- Gueugnon
4-4-2 formation 4-3-3
68% possession 32%
61 shots 0
47 shots on target 0
87% accurrate passes 86%
79% effective tackles 9%
7 corners 0
4 offsides 2
1 fouls 7
i hope we could investigate this result…
The losing team has a goalkeeper with 100 keeping skill on the bench, but he is not playing. Instead a keeper with 80 skills is playing…
Something very fishy is going on inside…
i once hired a retiring midfielder in the beginning of the season, because he was better then some of my old guards ( on a free transfer though) …
i would rather like things to be simple… current method of using average points sounds effective and simple…
i don’t think we will ever have a perfect system, because at the end of the day, europe will always have more teams … the only fair solution as i can see is to increase the number of teams to 32 in group stage for south american championships. ( either by having more countries or by increasing the number of clubs for each country)
Finally a youth keeper… On my 6th season in charge… :)
you can check my players list…
also you can check my detailed history list :)
three more seasons ahead and still not a single youth goal keeper for my team :)
i can understand what u mean… but then the country position, i guess is mostly dependent on club performances. And club can have players from any country, right… although mostly they are from the same club , but then in some cases (mostly weaker leagues), better players are from other countries
25%
thanks gab…
do some maths… u will know…
Now that league season is over, and im not participating in any competitions. i have a retiring player. because my team is cash strapped, i want to fire him. But the system says the player is too important for the team to fire him. he is not going to play any more official games this season and he will retire before next season. why can’t i fire him ???
(i know its not morally good to do so in real life, but i have no options. it saves me around 170K in cash) :)
Lets look at the below scenario…
A new manager joins ruby soccer… he selects a computer managed team (lets say having 10m) in its bank account. And, as it generally happens most of the computer managed teams have pretty average players and some very good but aged players. Youth players basically don’t get to play much friendly games and most of the time coaching facility is not very good, which means youth wouldn’t have developed. He joins the club (considering he knows how ruby soccer works, which is not the case in any way for new managers), he will have to wait around 6-7 seasons (2 months of real life) to develop his own team capable of challenging others for league position. (This is only possible if the country ranking for his league is number 1 or two ranked.
Do we really think a new manager will be patient enough to wait and learn for so long without any incentive for his team to generate extra income? (its a fake income and is nowhere near the amount a player costs in the transfer market, but it can help to get at least one good player in the long run).
if you want to award good managers, we can have other means to award league/cup winners which can be discussed in a separate forum.
But what i see from here is the same managers since ages winning the leagues, which is quite boring …
The details of all the EPL home matches for Westham United is given below: (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010%E2%80%9311_West_Ham_United_F.C.season#PremierLeague)
the below data only includes the Premier league matches and does not include cup games …

7 May 2011 West Ham United 1 – 1 Blackburn Rovers

22 May 2011 West Ham United 0 – 3 Sunderland
Attendance: 32,792
This suggesstion only applies to first and second divison league matches.
As we know, the crowd attendance curently fluctuates in accordance with the teams position in the league standings. But I was curious to check if this does really happen in Real life ??
I took West Ham as a case study from EPL 2010/2011 season and got the following figures…. (inludes only home matches)
Stated Stadium Capacity : 35303 (source Wikipedia : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boleyn_Ground)
Max Attendance : 34,941 (Vs Liverpool 27th feb 2011)
Min Attendance : 31194 (Vs Blackpool 13th nov 2010)
Avg Attendance : 33492
Median Value : 33422
Minimum Attendance as a percentage of stadium capacity = 88%
This does show that the fans never stop watching their teams play even when they are not winning.
I hope we take some measures to correct this unrealistic implementation in RS, which does not provide any new manager to take a team performing badly and work his/her way upwards…
im not saying attendance should always be static, it should change from game to game, but the current implementation is far off any realistic basis. (Assuming the current implementation is correct, there should be no one watching the second tier league matches) ….
parag
thanx gabriel…
davison, i guess there should be a much simpler solution within the system :)
seems like it has something to do with saving username and password in the browser…
quite recently i have noticed that the system doesn’t ask me to choose “fast ticker / medium ticker” if i just click on any link my last open window… ( which takes me to the login screen which directly takes me back to the same window i clicked the link on)
same thing happened just now… when i logged in via my previously opened browser page, it showed me i was logged in 19 hours ago…
i logged out and logged in via normal route and the time was updated…
