Original team members

vex · 01-08-2004, 12:28 PM

How many of your original team members still start for you?

I have 5 originals, but only 2 start.

Masked · 01-08-2004, 12:33 PM

I have only two original players remaining and both still start.

Tony Spicer, 25, Solid Scoring, Inad Passing, Inad Exp

Matt Keyesj, 28, Solid defense, Inad Exp, Future coach

DataKing · 01-08-2004, 12:36 PM

Goose egg.

damnMikeBrown · 01-08-2004, 12:38 PM

7 still on the team, but only 2 start any more.

I started with a cruddy team too.

Poli · 01-08-2004, 12:51 PM

1 started on occassion as late as last season, but Otto Hutton's form dropped dramatically after he hit 30.

He and Michael Dailey are my two originals. Sounds like a balanced mixer to me...but that's my electronic background.

Jerome Bettis is adopted; does he count?

Havok · 01-08-2004, 12:53 PM

if you would have seen my starting team... you'd know why none are left on my squad

Alf · 01-08-2004, 12:59 PM

4 - 1 starter (the team captain & future coach)

DukeRulesMAB · 01-08-2004, 01:06 PM

2 starters, one backup. (Forward, central D, Forward)

Peaker · 01-08-2004, 01:13 PM

Two left, 1 starts

McSweeny · 01-08-2004, 01:39 PM

i've got about 5 and most of them start

McSweeny · 01-08-2004, 01:42 PM

dola, make that 3 of them who start

sterlingice · 01-08-2004, 01:54 PM

I've still got 4 but that will change in the next two seasons.

SI

TredWel · 01-08-2004, 02:19 PM

6 left, and I'm surprised it's that high.

Both my starting wingbacks, one of my midfielders, and one of my wingers are all original cast.

FrogMan · 01-08-2004, 03:20 PM

I have no players left from my initial team...

YoSoySean · 01-08-2004, 03:35 PM

My best original player is a solid scorer who may start this week due to poor form of one of my other strikers. He's normally my 4th striker though (I play a 3-4-3)

robbgmaier · 01-08-2004, 04:48 PM

I appear to have 9 originals left, all of whom start on occasion depending on form. I would say on average 5 of them will be in a competive starting lineup.

Vince · 01-08-2004, 04:49 PM

3, 1 who starts. Raymond Hyatt and Homer Nguyen are great all-around guys who have nothing more than passable in any skills (they are mostly inadequates, though) who I use as my b-teamers. Alfred Poe was a Solid defender who used to be my Central Defender, but has since moved to Wing Back. He still starts, though.

TargetPractice6 · 01-08-2004, 04:52 PM

I have 3 original players left, but only 1 still starts.

Matt2You · 01-08-2004, 04:53 PM

Feeling lazy, so here is my only original copied.

Troy Carlton 2
74 000 US$, 29 years, solid form
Has weak experience and inadequate leadership abilities

Stamina: excellent Keeper: disastrous
Playmaking: inadequate Passing: weak
Winger: passable Defending: inadequate
Scoring: poor Set Pieces: poor

WB starts all league games.

gobig6 · 01-08-2004, 07:30 PM

None of my original players are still on the team. I sold the last of them between seasons.

finkenst · 01-08-2004, 08:53 PM

11. ..

7 starters. 4 backup/reserves.

i dumped my entire midfield at the beginning and have 6 foreign trainees (3 swedes, chilean, england, and an estonian).

--tim

Mr. Wednesday · 01-08-2004, 11:36 PM

Oops, I misread and voted for 9 or more. There are nine still on my team, but not nearly as many of them start. The correct starter count would be about five, although with fluctuations in form it can vary.

finkenst · 01-08-2004, 11:39 PM

oops. i misread too...

oh well

Vikas · 01-09-2004, 10:57 AM

I've still got a few on my team, but none start in my usual first line. One starts when I want to boost my mid with an offensive central defender, but thats rarely.

Blade6119 · 01-09-2004, 11:18 AM

Ive got 4 still starting, but should be 1 in a week or two with my transfers coming in. I love buying injured players since they go for much cheaper then they should, and ive got two or three transfers finally ready to play.

terpkristin · 01-09-2004, 12:35 PM

I *think* I have 9 on my squad from the original squad.
When I was looking at the history for some of my former players, I get messages like this:

Player with ID 8377004 was last seen yelling at his son at a junior school game. His days of glory are clearly over.

I assume that means he was fired..kinda funny.

~tk

EDIT: DOH! Of the 9 players still on my roster from days of yore, somewhere between 5 and 8 START, depending on who I'm playing and my configuration.....

tucker rocky · 01-09-2004, 08:36 PM

4 originals still start for my team. This should change soon.

The_herd · 01-09-2004, 08:39 PM

I have 3. Both my starting wingers, who put up 3*-3.5*, and one of my starting wingbacks, which I would like to upgrade soon.

mckerney · 01-09-2004, 10:33 PM

7, though I started with a pretty good team. I think 5 or 6 of them started as solid in something. Still in D.V though, and look to be again next year after an upset tie last week, though a 17 year old mid I bought last week just bumped to excellent, so my midfield should be getting better soon.
