Training Update - Week 10

Coffee Warlord · 06-12-2003, 09:02 PM

Not bad.

Form is...working it's way back up into reality. Midfielders are all in shit form still, but the rest of the crew are holding steady around passable/solid level.

Two pops at playmaking. One expected, 18 year old Nicasio Pinto popped to solid. Unexpectedly, 26 year old wingback Rickie Quiroz popped to weak.

illinifan999 · 06-12-2003, 09:05 PM

You beat me to it.

Had 3 starters drop in form, 6 gain.
Had one playmaker pop to excellent! My first primary excellent. Had two players who are very close to popping to solid. One passable put up a 2.5* in my last friendly so he gets the starting spot this week for an injured player.

BillyMadison · 06-12-2003, 09:08 PM

How do you guys keep track of form? Youwrite them down every week?

No pops for me, as expected, but we had some players go to better form.

You can either write down, or use one of the few assistant software, HAM and HattrickPoli will tell you what has changed between two dates...

NAIWF · 06-12-2003, 09:20 PM

Absolute crap!

2 form increases, 7 drops including a few 2 level ones.

The goalie I'm trying to sell is now in weak form so I guess he's staying on the team and I'll be putting my 17 yo inadequate up next week.

I HATE HAT TRICK!

Did anyone else's coach raise in value? Mine rose from 0 to $1,000

bigjdotcom01 · 06-12-2003, 09:47 PM

Both goalies bumped to solid! I had 7 form increases and 2 decreases. Hopefully my goalies can bump to excellent by the end of this season so I can train PM or defense next season.

DukeRulesMAB · 06-12-2003, 09:57 PM

New goalie popped to passable; at 17 YO, hopefully will be solid early next season.

Form was a wash. (2 up, 2 down)

TonyR · 06-12-2003, 09:59 PM

I had my team captain pop to solid in playmaking, and an 18 yo pop to passable. Other than that, 3 form increases and 5 decreases.

Oh well, at least I have a solid playmaker now!!

TredWel · 06-12-2003, 09:59 PM

My squad didn't change squat. It took me a while before I even found a form change - I was even wondering if I was too early for the training for a while.

dacman · 06-12-2003, 10:09 PM

Nothing too exciting. My last PM trainee is STILL inadequate. Bah!

My new $300k forward bumped back up to passable form (after quickly falling to weak right after I bought him).

Qwikshot · 06-12-2003, 10:43 PM

Had another defender pop to passable...

Vince · 06-12-2003, 10:55 PM

My 19 yo Keeper finally popped to Passable. Decided to train Keeper when I realized that he was at $154,000 in value in passable form...he only went up $6,000 after the first week, and now he's at $174,000, so he'll probably be put up for transfer soon.

Question, you think it's better to wait until all the popped trainees and soon to be sold youth pulls clear before putting a guy up for auction?

Poli · 06-12-2003, 11:00 PM

Great news for NC Raider fans!

9 raises in form, including 30 year old George Flores improving from weak to passable; that's his first form change since the beginning of the season! George nows heads to the lineup!

Here's the best part! Dave Sumner is now a formidable scorer!! That's right guys! WOO! Mark Nguyen, my starting central defender also improved to solid!!

GoldenEagle · 06-12-2003, 11:01 PM

Yes Vince. There is less competition.

Even with your solid coach it is unlikely you will get players that old to pop that quickly. The twenty year old has a shot though.

I was +3 overall in form and nobody popped (both keepers have popped within the last two weeks).

daedalus · 06-12-2003, 11:17 PM

Training playmaking and none of my inner midfielder popped . . . and two wingers popped. Heh. Only inadequate but, y'know, I'll take any improvements I can get my hands on.

damnMikeBrown · 06-12-2003, 11:19 PM

I had 2 keepers bump to solid. One I bought because my formidable keeper was injured. The other one, I bought this morning. I saw him as a high passable, and that he'd played this week. I wasn't sure it would work, but it did. Bought him for $173k, and will put him up this week for $220k. If I wasn't so scared of TS hits, I'd raid the mkt and do a lot more of this.

MacroGuru · 06-12-2003, 11:53 PM

Had a wash on the form, but had one of my talented MF/WG pop to inad on his scoring.

Oh, and my coaches form popped.

vex · 06-12-2003, 11:55 PM

My 18 Playmaker popped a week early!

And my 20 yo popped to formidable!!!!!

Airhog · 06-13-2003, 12:26 AM

No bumps this week, which kinda sucks, maybe next week. My form is nearly all passable now, with two solids.

FrogMan · 06-13-2003, 05:27 PM

one 18y.o popped to passable playmaking

form was +6, -2, net +4

Value changes was +35k, -10k, net +25k

not too bad.

larrymcg421 · 06-13-2003, 10:14 PM

No pops, 5 form increases, 8 form decreases, including a 2 level inad to poor decrease for my best player.

Ugh.
