The first weeks I was having a lot of succes and rose to the top of the table, but then everything fell apart. I suspect that there's something programmed into the game to give newbies/starters some 'luck'.

Inter, maybe it's time to change your strategy.

The first three games I won 2 and draw 1...the last three ..well..like I said 3 losses.

I already changed for next game

 

[Shabbaman]

Did you already sold and bought any players?

 

[Inter4]

I sold 2 players and bought 1....and I'm about to buy another one

 

[Shabbaman]

Try swapping players. Undoubtly you have some strategy in mind (for example, only red players, preferrably diamond), so run a player search.
Another draw for me btw.

Dell will be pleased. His first victory and he's away.

 

[Inter4]

my team i~s not doing good...I´m worried.

 

[Shabbaman]

Another win for me. Good times... I'm not scoring enough though, another 1-0 win. I think I've got one of the stronger defences of the league though.

Time for a screenie!

This is my selection:

These are my tactics for the last match:

For away games, I think I have to up the agression level to 60%. What do you think? I'm afraid I'll tire my players too much, or doesn't 'agression' have any impact on that? I've got very little discipline points, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Alright, just admit it, who was dumb enough to try the buttons in the screenshot?

Yey! but apparently I am still propping up the table.

 

[Shabbaman]

Welcome back, but for your squad you'd apparently better stayed away

 

[Dell19]

Bah the computer only won one game... Interestingly all the promoted teams are struggling with only Martigues outside the relegation zone.

 

[Shabbaman]

It isn't that surprising, is it? In rl it's just like that, with teams like chievo being the exception to the rule...

 

[Shabbaman]

Hurray! Another win for me! I RULE! (ahem) Next game is away versus the top contender... I desperately need the points, so I'll have to list all my very tired defenders.

A win might place me in the top 3 though.

 

[willemvanoranje]

meehm, I'll get myself a midfielder. Hopefully that will get me of the 'FC Twente' spots.....

Usually one team stays up in rl...

 

[willemvanoranje]

yeah....that's kinda true. Especially here: only last placed relegates in Holland.

 

[Dell19]

But there is a playoff with the next two teams and they play second and third from the division below?

 

[willemvanoranje]

hmmm, something like that. It's those two, the winners of periods plus other teams (if the 3rd placed doesn't have a period title, they still get to the play-offs). Those 8 teams are seeded in two pools, play 6 matches and the winner goes to or stays in the highest league.

 

[Dell19]

And to think in England we just pick the four teams directly below the automatic promotion spots at the end of the season and then let them play each other in a knockout tournament to see who gets promoted

 

[Shabbaman]

Yeah, but in England you can be relegated from the 1st division (below premiership) as well, and in the dutch league you can't, since there isn't any 2nd division. The play off with periodic titles (the play off qualifications) is supposed to make it more interesting.

 

[Dell19]

So how do non league dutch teams get promoted into the Dutch first division?
