Why doesn't this happen to me!!!

Yes its another thread complaining about the wife's team. If you checked the YP thread this week you'll see she pulled a pretty good player, a solid defender, and it was the 1st time she's ever pulled outfield.


Here he is:

Tracy Hauser (22761631)
17 years, passable form, healthy
A popular guy who is temperamental and righteous.
Has disastrous experience and inadequate leadership abilities.

Nationality: USA
Assessed value: 109 000 US$
Wage: 1 020 US$/week
Owner: North Dakota Flying Buffalo FC
Warnings: 0


Stamina: weak Goaltending: disastrous
Playmaking: poor Passing: weak
Winger: weak Defending: solid
Scoring: weak Set Pieces: disastrous


I told here to expect something in the 200k range....She puts him on the market for 195K. Today, I get home from work and she tells me to check out her team....So I do....and I see this message:

Highest bid:
412 500 US$ by Welsh Spurs

She also got $225K bid on an excellent scorer with wretched passing.

Its getting to the point where I'm almost embarrased to admit I play hattrick when I look at her team.

could be worse, you wife could just yell at you for spending too much time on the computer.
or you could get the infamous "if you spent as much time on [insert silly wife chore here] as you did thinking about that stupid soccer game..." :)

Looks about right to me. The defender looks to be about half way to excellent D, plus being 17 can raise his value a good amount. As for the striker, 380K doesnt suprise me either. If I can put a 21 yo first week solid scorer(a value of 52K) with wretched passing on the market for 150K and have a bid for him on the first day, that price seems about right.

The striker maket has me happy right now. By the end of the season I should have 1 excellent, 1 formidable, and 2 oustanding trainees. That will finally give me some money to play around with.
