TRAINING!!

[Poli]

Training, training time is near
Time for laughter and time for cheer
We've been good, but we can't last
Hurry, training, hurry fast

Want a keeper to stop a shot,
Me, I want Barker to pop!
We can hardly stand the wait
Please, training, don't be late

Training, training time is near
Time for laughter and time for cheer
We've been good, but we can't last
Hurry, training, hurry fast

Want a keeper to stop a shot,

Please, training, don't be late!


Good luck, everyone!

about 40 mins to go

[vex]

What time is our training? I used to work until 9:00 PM CST, so I just checked it out when I got home. New job, off by 6:00:)

[Chubby]

9:30pm EST

Thanks I'm looking at as many as 3 pops to excellent, world class, and magnificent.

[Chubby]

I'm hoping for 3 pops as well. 2 17 yr olds I bought weeks ago that still haven't popped for the 1st time for me and a starter whose TSI makes me think he may pop a week early this week...

[Chubby]

how can my 21 YO starter at MF not have his TSI OR form change in a training update where he played in one game at mf when I train PM?

[Brillig]

Because his form went down within the level just enough to offset the training increase?

Good/bad week for me - two pops, including a 20 YO outstanding, the last of my pre-training switch holdouts - he'll be listed soon for anyone who needs an overpriced (value! value!) striker. Two bad form hits, though, GK down to solid and lead IM down two levels to passable :P

not possible. his TSI bumps are in the $15k range as he is formidable -1. I had a trainee stuck at the same TSI for a couple of weeks but chalked that up to his crappy secondaries...

And I got nothing. And formed sucked. At least Spike TV has a CSI marathon this week.

[saintjo]

ouch, HT was not friendly to me tonight :(

i was expecting 3 pops, i got none. and my form went to heck +3/-9

[Masked]

Good week of training, bad for form. 18 yo American to formidable PM (with passable passing), 21 yo to magnificent, and 18 yo to solid PM (with solid winger).

Starters form was up 1, down 2.

My #4 IM popped to excellent this week.

Don't have access to HAM to see how the form change broke down, but the average form of my starters is solid with 3 starters at excellent.

[fantastic flying froggies]

One of my forward trainees popped to brilliant, nice...

Not much happening on the form update, just +3/-3.

[BreizhManu]

a useless forward popped to inadequate winger

form +2/-8
starters +1/-3

[saintjo]

man, looks like form was horrible for almost everyone this week. i wonder whats up?

[Poli]

Form was good for me...though I don't have the #'s in front of me. Barker popped to outstanding.

[FrogMan]

form was very good to the Dragons, +5 / -3 overall, with +5 / -1 to starters :)

I also got two pops, one of them wasn't really expected and will hit the market about right now...

Reimund has played 72 games as a Dragon and will be listed with an inflated starting price of 3M U$. We'll see if anybody bites...

dola, his starting price may not be so inflated after all, look at this:

only the third one had weak experience, the first two only had poor experience... we'll see. Selling Brigg is what will bring the money for me to go buy that brilliant/magnificent keeper I've been waiting for :)

[mrkilla22]

not a good form update for me. +3/-8 in form changes. Luckily I had really good form before that. I also had two PM pops, one to my #2 middie who popped to Outstanding and one to my Winger to Excellent who is being sold now.

[Icy]

Bad week, not any pop and lots of starters lost form :(
FORM +5 / -6

[DataKing]

A so-so week for the Screamin' Seamen this time around. Overall form degenerated this week (+4/-8) but the starters held their own at least (+3/-2). The defense is in shambles at the moment, however, and "Big Mac" McDonald is suspended for this weekend's showdown with Sweden Heights.

No pops this week, but none were expected either. The good news is that the Real Terps saw fit to buy this week's youth squad promotee (17yo solid playmaker, passable passer) for just over a million, so the coffers have swollen slightly. Thanks TerpK :) (We'd have trained him ourselves, but this year's 17yo is beyond Charles and has slightly better secondaries).

[sterlingice]

No bumps this week which stinks because I was expecting one of my half trainees to bump to formidable playmaking.

So, with no news on that front, my form takes center stage. Mick Starks was sent down to the B Team two weeks ago because of his horrible form. Well, it's starting to turn around and he's back up to weak. Another week and he's probably back up with the big team. Unfortunately, one of my offensive central defenders is also down in the crapper in poor form so I think he gets to spend a week or two with the B Team now. Every other starters is passable or higher, thankfully, and the form of the two replacements is solid and excellent so I should be in good shape for a possible PIC game.

EDIT: Lastly, I'm about $300K from joining the "100 Most Expensive Teams In Div 4" table on Hatstats. Considering I have gained over $600K per week the last 10 weeks, I should be there in the next week or two. Granted that's only 3rd for my series as Brooklyn United, who is ticketed for a trip back to Div 3, is #2 in all of Div 4, and The Oompa Loompas (of hollyrose ownership) is #31. Wages next year are going to suck.

The leaders for the team are 21yo world class playmaker Robert Tryggvesson (3,166,000) and 21yo magnificent playmaker, solid passer, and former youth pull Thomas Little (2,786,000).

My starting keeper popped to Magnificent! a 20 yo American Magnificent.

My first excellent primary skilled player, so that makes me happy and pathetic at the same time. :)

A crappy week for form though, +6/-8, including three starters down from excellent, another starter down to weak.

[ntndeacon]

a 18 wc winger (isreali) is the only bump I had.
