Offseason

Well my first Hattirck season is coming to a close and I was looking for some advice about what to do in the offseason. I know that one week is there for qualifiers, but what can I do since I have no chance of promoting this year?

Can I arrange friendlies or train anything? Or is it just a 2 week break for my squad?

Any information or recommendations on what to do would be GREAT.

9/26 Last league match of the season
9/29 Friendly
10/3 Qualifier if you have one, otherwise open date
10/6 Friendly
10/10 End of year bookkeeping - players age, etc...
10/13 First cup game of new season
10/17 First league game of new season

Since you only have one match a week, many people take the opportunity to train things that don't require the players to play in a match to get training - primarily Stamina and Set Pieces.

Just find the old one and copy/paste for a template and change the dates, no pain work that way. Then keep the template for next time around. Just thought I'd offer that, though I'm sure you've thought of it already.

yeah, well when I said "work" I meant what you said. I have the template and all, I only need to fix the dates

Sometimes I like to make myself feel important

Also, the annual U20 youth pull lottery (week 1, it generally lasts 2 - 3 weeks).

This may be a dumb question, but do injuries carry over from season to season? I'm sure they do, but would like some confirmation.

Argh. I hate how conferences don't disappear when there're stickies in em. Can you make it so it dies after qualification games? I'm sure people'll bump it up after that, if needbe (er, well, if it's not closed...)

This is an off-year for the U20 lottery, is it not?

With the new qualification system, off year is a relative term. There will be fewer spots available to youths pulled in the "off year", and those that make the team won't get as much time, but the U.S. definitely used 20-yo's in qualifying.
