Mine looks okay too, minus his Agr Q . His Qs are perfect for PG but his height is already at the top of the PG region.

 

[Belizarius]

Hot streak in handball.
My academy just gave me another 4*, 309 OR.

Check out my latest purchase (144M):

I added this player (70M) recently for depth but I can sell him now and recoup a large portion of the fee:

An improvement in age, C/L and Exp! That's a rare find. Not bad since I can likely sell the bottom guy for 50+.

You don't care about shooting on your SM? Some of the Dutch managers seem to swear by it.

His shooting will be trained up in half a season to something that is usable. One of my CMs has terrible shooting (40, as he arrived from the SA) and he seems to score as often as my other more shooting-inclined CMs.

Lol! I just realized that I did not scout a single player for the upcoming football draft.

I bought a SM with 125 shooting last year, he has 4 goals in 27 games, the other one who is basically the same except shooting has 3. Both my CMs, without shooting, have 8 goals in that number of games.

Lol! I just realized that I did not scout a single player for the upcoming football draft.

Missed a few days where I came on too early and didn't get the draft notification so forgot to scout. Somehow I still managed to get 3 As, that's more than all other drafts across all sports combined. Of course I'm picking 17th so who knows what's left.

 

[Belizarius]

2 A's and 10 B's at this point in soccer draft.

I pick 10th, 28th and 39th.
Most of the choices are going to bots, or newcomers.
So, I have a chance to pick at least one A...

 

[Belizarius]

2,5* and 208 OR from my basket academy.
Well, that's the second decent player in a row.

September has been a good month for the Kings

Sitting pretty at the top of Other World I.1 with 6 wins from 6.
I don't know how long my run will last (Last defeat was a friendly on Aug 26th, last meaningful game lost was Aug 9th), but I'll enjoy the relentless OTR gain my team is earning right now!

Nice! I'm in a similar boat (excluding friendlies). I've only lost 5 competitive games (league, playoffs) excluding the NC since the sport launched. No idea what I'm doing right but I'm not about to change anything!

Nice! I was hoping to get him, but I wasn't online for the deadline. He was just out of my price range, anyway. So instead, I got this guy for 75M:

Not a bad pickup. I'm just now starting to buy some younger guys to build up for a I.1 push. This is my first. Only 10 more to go!

 

[Belizarius]

Awesome winning streak...
I'm at the other hand of the spectrum

That's a great buy! Only tiff I have is that he is a R and not U. I swear by having U players down the middle.

Does that show up in the IGR?

 

[canucks357]

Does that show up in the IGR?

Not sure. It *may*. Though my gut tells me that, like OFF and DEF on Mids, L/R vs. U isn't part of the IGR calc but does impact performance.

 

[Belizarius]

2nd time this season I lose a game in basket by just 1 point.
This time, in overtime.
Tough start in this sport...
It's a long season, still time to come back and reach the playoffs.

 

[Emerald76]

I'm of the school of thought that U's playing centrally offer more than playing an L or an R.

I'm also sure that if you have for instance, 1 U playing in a 3 man midfield, that he offers more to both left sided and right sided players, rather than playing an L who offers more to the left side, or an R, who offers more to the right side.
It keeps everything well balanced in my head!

The marked out zones on a pitch in your lineup page are directly influenced by who plays in the adjoining zones.

Got 3 soccer players for sale if anyones interested...

Mario Landi ~ Left Full Back ~ 17yo ~ 6/6 CL ~ 880 OR

Fantisek Orihel ~ Left Full Back ~ 16yo ~ 6/6 CL ~ 704 OR

Rudolf Solcansky ~ Right Wide Midfielder ~ 16yo ~ 6/6 CL ~ 614 OR

Interesting. How much off/def before it starts making an impact?

Do you think there's more total benefit or just a more balanced one?

My apologies, I could have worded that better...
But yes, a more balanced benefit to each side.

No idea and very hard to test/quantize.

Hey puckheads, anyone looking for a left winger for a playoff push? I am selling this guy:
