Dola.
Frogman thanks so much for the stats...I'm amazed to be doing so well, I'm glad I finally figured things out enough, hopefully I'll last the season now...

Funny you say that. I checked your division on HATStats USA a few minutes ago. Even though some things look kinda weird on the site (your team is still listed as a computer team), it looks like they retrieved all the ratings and I would think their series rankings for div V would be fairly accurate. Well anyway, your series is listed as the 8th toughest of all div V series in the USA... Mine is listed as only the 180th or so toughest in Canada, division V. FrogMan

Actually I have, I have 90k from selling my British 18 keeper, and that has helped, I'm eyeing a cheap solid defender tho, it's hard to look away at one of those if he's under 50k...besides, then I can have versatility at 4-3-3 or the ever growing popular 4-5-1. I've curbed, I've got a poor keeper as a backup now for Saphou...and I'm waiting on my next youth pull (again going for a keeper)...maybe I'll get an inadequate and drop the new guy, maybe I'll hit paydirt...at least I'm not near Afoci..sheesh, 469k, I'd already have my application ready... |

This might be where you'll have a harder time, your youth pulls. That is unless you're of the lucky kind, which it looks like I'm not. Darn I pulled FOUR wretched keeper before getting an inedaquate this week. My youth squad just popped to passable this week... And I'm currently 366K C$ in the red (that's 183K U$), but I got a 12000 seats stadium, which I filled with 10515 happy fans in my first home game after the upgrade... FrogMan

Very cool, I'm glad I haven't expanded...that's where the debt would really come in, especially if I get hammered...the other league with the Qwakers I had no problem holding my own...this one, I may accept the relegation and hammer on some VI's, hopefully get pushed up to a different V division (THIS IS WORST CASE SCENARIO-I don't intend to do it) That defender is still out there cheap...7 minutes left, gotta go bid. |

Reason I decided to upgrade right now is because I felt like my new home in div V (just got relegated) was a pretty easy division, with 7 bot teams. So I felt like I could go and repay most of it in a matter of a few home games and then maybe get another upgrade before the end of the season, that would then assure me of a steady income in the future...

The sick truth about Hattrick.
We all turn into shopping crazy women when it comes to spending money on players. |

I swear, am I the only one who only makes purchases for things I need?
I haven't made a purchase in the past month except to get a forward to give me a complete team of 11 + 11 + 2 (clown, coach). SI

I remember when I use to be able to purchase players, I would search the transfer markets all over the world for deals and then impulsively overbid on someone I didn't need driving me further in debt. Then, $200k in debt, no more transfer list players...so sad.

i think quik needs to have a crawfish attached to his sack, that squeezes whenever he goes to the transfer wire.

Well here's my plan...I don't plan on contending this year...unless by some act of God I can get a couple of solid strikers (Grewar and Zabawa)...or some wonderful youth pull...if things go really bad...I'm going to sell off another solid defender (I'll start with old man Ollie first)...build a stadium, grab a few inadequate/pass defenders, and train train train, even if it knocks me into VI...I don't think that it will...but if it does, I should have a good team...plus, I feel, that I can tangle with all my FOFC compadres, and still be able to generate high revenue...but for now, I have my best team ready for Ring of Fire (I'm using a different tactic)...good luck to me. |

Being mean has nothing to do with being a cheater. My players must have a chip on their shoulders this year because they were never this mean before. Maybe its because I changed out my clowns. |
