Training!

[ardentrules]

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 Rodney to pop!
We can hardly stand the wait
Please, training, don't be late

Good luck, everyone!

Should be magnificent by the start of next season!

[Poli]

I know you meant me. :)

Jerome popped, by the way. :)

[Raven Hawk]

19 y/o to outstanding scoring. Form is being weird. Half of my starters are solid/excellent, the other half are weak and inadequate. I guess that equals out to them all being passable . . . right?

[Mr. Wednesday]

I know Zuidema didn't pop (and I don't remember if I expected that or not). I'm waiting another minute or two to run HT Buddy, just to see if the training reveal works right when my computer date matches the HT date. I think my form looked good when I just browsed HT from work, though...

...and...

it's -6/+7 in form, with an additional six sublevel decreases and four sublevel increases (plus two indeterminate trainees who might have had a sublevel increase but I'd never know). Not great, especially considering my two outstanding middies lost one level of form and had a sublevel decrease, but it's not a total train wreck.

[fantastic flying froggies]

No pops, none expected.

I was due a great form update after 2 brutal weeks and got it with +7/-2, all my starters are now at passable form or higher... Total TSI value went up $2,530.

[saintjo]

I had 1 defender to to formidable and 1 to excellent. A good week, except i was expecting another player to pop to formidable as well. so that screws up my whole purchase plans for this week. i was going to have 3 million to spend on a striker, but now i think i might spend the 2 million on a keeper and buy the striker in a few more weeks after 2 other formidable pops.

so if anyone has an oustanding keeper for around 2 million, send me a pm :)

form sucked. i think it was like +2/-8 or something.

Two experience pops. Starting keeper to wretched, and future coach to solid experience! Now we just need another, oh, $350,000 to actually pay afford to switch him.

[BreizhManu]

one pop to poor winger...

form +3/-7 (+2/-1 for starters)

[Cosmicjello]

i was going to have 3 million to spend on a striker, but now i think i might spend the 2 million on a keeper and buy the striker in a few more weeks after 2 other formidable pops.

so if anyone has an oustanding keeper for around 2 million, send me a pm :)
Are you hinting at me?? :p

[saintjo]

Are you hinting at me?? :p

maybe :)

[Mr. Wednesday]

If anybody has an outstanding keeper at around $2 MM, they aren't asking enough. :p

shhhhhhhhh. your not helping :)

[bmalek]

shhhhhhhhh. your not helping :)
You can have my solid keeper for 2 mil :cool:

+4/-9 on form, 1 18 y/o pm trainee to passable *yawns* :(

Two older players have still yet to increase, I've been waiting to try to sell them until after they do!

[Cosmicjello]

shhhhhhhhh. your not helping :)
Be careful I see that dataking is bidding on an outstanding keeper. "Uh oh, we've got ourselves a bidding war"

I think a bushel of corn would be the deal breaker.

Screamin' Seamen Training Update


Overall team form continues to improve, after our horrible slide early in the season. Overall we were a fantastic +10/-1, but most of those gains were from the reserves, and the one drop was keeper "Corny" Jernigan, who dipped back down to weak. He must've caught wind that I'm shopping for an upgrade. :)

The really good news this week is that winger phenom Reg Nichols improved his playmaking ability to formidable, to go along with his formidable winger abilities.

Now if only his form would improve.

Players currently in excellent form are:
-Winger #19 Carl Karlsson (outstanding winger/solid playmaking)
-Wingback #5 Arlen "Headcase" Lucas (outstanding defending/solid winger)
-Midfielder #8 Javier Tejeda, "The Magnificent Chilean Bastard" (outstanding playmaking/inadequate passing).

All three are starters. :D

I've got my eye on about four different keepers at the moment, actually. And by "a bushel of corn," you're not referring to "Corny" Jernigan are you? ;)

[ntndeacon]

no pops form went basically up.

[TonyR]

no pops.
forms: +7/-3
value: +9/-7

[terpkristin]

No pops, none expected. Great form! From my HT-Arena page:
Season 23, Week 3
Training Type: Keeper
Training Intensity: 100%
Goaltending Coaches: 8
Assistant Coaches: 2
Injuries: Mcmillian +4

Form
Form increases: 7 players/8 levels
Form decreases: 1 players/1 levels
Net form change: +7

TSI
TSI Increase: 3,230
TSI Decrease: 280
Net TSI change: +2,950

tk's Comments: What a great form week! The only player that lost form was Mcmillian, who was injured in the cup loss to ND Kickers, so we are just fine with that form drop. From now on, both squads will get full play-time, so we hope to see form coming up across the board. I also think that trainee #2 is near to popping to excellent, but it's hard to tell in his weak form.
