2. World Cup Final Season 19

No offense to the Libertadores teams, or the Champions League teams… but it was unreal just to win serie A in Brazil. There are SO many GREAT teams there.

My only goal was to take a previously unmanaged team, and finish ahead of Francois Michelet’s Cruzeiro team! I did that a few seasons ago, and beat him in the Copa Sudamericana final last season. Once I did that, everything else was gravy.

More than a few seasons back, I picked up a good young Spanish forward… Tome Castelo. He just exploded once I started playing him. But I had to sell him (for $9 million), because I badly needed the cash to keep my other players and stay in Serie A. I knew I’d regret it… and I did. (Corinthians later sold him for $50 million…)

Until Christian Ribas arrived!

Christian Ribas is THE MAN. Period. I’m lucky to have him. When I look at his “value”, I laugh… and know that the “value” isn’t quite right! He’s the most valuable player on my team, and possibly in the game. I guess no one would sell a guy like him, so the program has no basis to judge his true value.

BTW, Salgado is not so awesome as he might seem… I play a more central game, and he’s a LR only guy… so he’s somewhat less effective for me than he might seem. ALL my other 3 usual mids have better AVG results than Salgado!!! Not that Salgado is bad…

Now… the hard part… I gotta try to do it all over again! LOL

best
Dave

Let’s see who will be the first one to notice and post something in our Improvements Discussion topic ;)
p.s.: Even though I’ve exhaustively tested this during the week something can always go wrong when you put a new feature in the real environment. If something does happen I ask you guys to be patient cause any problem will be fixed as soon as we are available.

2. World Cup Final Season 19

I’ve played against Fortaleza twice this season, both matches on Série A. I can proudly say that anyone could have won those matches but the advantage of playing at home was decisive. On my home ground I won 3 × 1 and I lost on their stadium 1 × 0. Ribas was the one to score for Fortaleza. This guy is a threat, there is no doubt!

There is not much I can say about Napoli, but their manager deserves our respect. On season 18 he has broken an incredible league title series from Genoa. They can certainly stand the challenge against the brazilian team!

If I had to guess, I’d go with Fortaleza. If my squad can’t be there at least I’ll support the team from my country ;)

P.S. We are currently planning the newspaper. It may take a while but I believe it will be worth waiting for it.

2. World Cup Final Season 19

Who do you think will win the Club World Cup 19?
Fortaleza or Napoli, according to their Respective ligue standing Fortaleza went all the way and got first place in Brazil, and Napoli finished second in Italy, this might be one of the most exiting Club World Cups we have ever seen, since they both have exelent teams that only can be described with one word: Perfection.

Starting with:

The keepers,
both team have young but exelent goalkeepers that can make a grat difference on important.

The Defence:
-For Fortaleza, edgy, young, experience, power, speed, and control but aldo like to attack, (might be a disadvantage)
-For Napoli, young, controled, not as much experience and a bit slower (this might be a disadvantage)

Overall, great Defence for both teams, we would have to see if there is a mistake or two that can give the other team a chance,

The Midfield:
For Fortaleza, one man for sure Salgado, has great support from other players.

For Napoli, well balanced from the right and center.

Overall, A midfield needs to be balanced oi the Right, Left and Center, it is not up to one player to make a difference.

The Attackers:
For Fortaleza, One man; may be one of the best in Ruby Cristian Ribas, medfield needs to support,

For Napoli, young, they know how to handle the ball, but might need something extra.

Overall, the attackers need to play as a team and help midfield so that they can also be helped.

we are geting ready to see a great match, and only one team will be called the Club World Cup Champion the that would be not just the result of a grat season but also of a great past.

Good luck Dave Spurrier and Alexander Nygård

May the best Team WIN!!

Who do you think will Win?

P.S. I miss the newspaper. ;-P

And a 90 tackling, 100 passing, 84 shooting, 84 speed, 92 dribbling midfielder for just 50 million :D

I like his salary though.

I’ll sell him… for 1 MILLION DOLLARS (put pinky in corner of mouth).

2. Most Expensive Player?

Simon, this change in player value was not due to the change in youth players growth. It happened much before that.
As gabriel mentioned at that time, it was because of some crap players being sold at over inflated price, which in turn inflated the market value, thus rocketing the player values. The highest value seen at that time was around $2,147,483,647. This value was not exceeded as this was the maximum limit for the amount in the game systems database.

But now things have started going down.

The value fomula changed some days ago, and Serrano develop some ticks after, and he did not develop again since that so his value still the same, I think when he develop the value will update to a more reasonable one.
Yet if someone wants to offer 1,7Bill I will gladly accept :D :D

2. Most Expensive Player?

Now that young players are evolving with a new logic, we have seen incredible stats in players that not just have elevated stats but also incredible “Estimated Values” such is the case of 20year old Benfica Defender Mário Serrano whose value is estimated to be worth $1,758,110,156 or 21 year old Bayern München keeper Peter Jones, that is estimated to be worth $1,248,264,793 and yes it is not MILLIONS its BILLIONS!!! this is just to name a few of the ones that catched my eye,

I know that every turn there is a probability of a player improving but I tink it will be fun just to think about this.

Have you ever wondered about the price of your players?
do you think you have one of the most expensive players in your League or maybe in the entire game?
who is the most expensive?
who is the best?

Just copy and paste, and add your player in the cooresponding rank.

1. Mário Serrano Benfica $1,758,110,156
2. Peter Jones Bayern München $1,248,264,793

I started with the youth academy cause I’m afraid of superstar youths all over the world as we used to have. Let’s see how it goes, 19 should be fine as well.

i would also recommend it to be till 19 years…

Gabriel,

Maybe this rule could be a little different, as some players ask for a contract a little earlier… Besides, sometimes is still difficult to decide if a player with 78 in a main stat will be a good player or not. Maybe this rule could be not for players in the youth academy, but for players until 19 or 20 years (maybe 20 is a little high, 19 should be better).

2. Best Player Missing From Team

i checked my default formation before going on vacation ( thinking that in vacation mode system may give some preference to me). and he did have one yellow card in the earlier game, but i don’t know if he had accumulated a red.

how can we know that??

had there been a “Previous” and “Next” option in the match report , i would have checked them myself manually. although i checked the league matches and found 2 yellow card over the season, i didn’t find it worthwhile to go through all the friendlies…

so, now i settled down on that many cards. but if we check the friendlies, things could be different…

2. Loans

Hi dudes
i´m having this problem. I loaned some of my youths…… but they are not playing!!!! so i want them back. Just logical.
Now, i dont think that people can play tricks calling loan players back or canceling the contract. But i did some money long ago when my team was so weak, and it help me.
Simple solution (maybe): each team can only cancel a contract 2 or 3 times per season or 2 seasons. That way the money to make if so, will be a small amount. And if the home team need that player back for whatever reason, he can have it, like in the real soccer world.
Gracias, salud y suerte
damago

what’s the definition of youth players? (academy, >22yro, ..)
Experience points after a match: 2x points fro every type of match, e.g. friendlys now 2 instead of 1 point, cup 4 instead of 2, league 6 instead 3 … ?

1. Topic: Announcements
2. Improvements Discussion

I’d like to clarify the latest changes on youth improvement system. We have received some complaints that youths were improving too slow. In response to that we’ve changed the system to allow a faster improvement for youth players.

On season start, all the players that are not fully developed receive some potential points that will be earned as they play matches and get experience. In the average they receive 10% of their total potential, which gives them something around 14 skill points to be distributed in all skills during improvements. Youths now receive 20% of their potential in the average instead of 10%.

Besides that we doubled the number of experience points youth players earn after playing a match. This will make they improve twice as fast as they were before.

Hope this was clear enough, if not feel free to drop your questions here ;)

group phase costellation bases on past seasons performance and final stage bases on current season performance (the group phase)

Hello again,

It’s only my opinion, of course, but I think it would be better to play the first team of a group against the second team of a different group…
