A 21/7 at the level your team is playing is ok for a first generation... but do not waste time/money training or playing them unless they are in exceptional form. Concentrate on who you can significantly improve.
Don't cover your tracks after giving rubbish advice old then old timer :roll: :wink: :P

What do you class as exceptional form? 18? 19? How rare is that?

edit...Anyway, you won't be wrong no matter how much we discuss it. As I said I give up.

Spiny my advice is to sack all the 17/2 and do as blah says and buy 16/3's if you don't want to do a lot of studying of the players and wheel and deal.

In a team THAT crap, if I had a 17/2 by mistake and he was on 16 form, and maintained that at the start of the season without costing me any training money. I wouldnt bother swapping him for a random 18/4.

If you want an example, Quahog in the YDL. Kaspar Cornelius, a 17/2 sold on for 5.6mil as a 22 year old. It is possible with the right player in the right form to correct the error of having a 17/2... and with all due respect, Quahog are a better team with better finishing positions than the team we are talking about at the moment. The 17/2 didnt do them any harm.

But if you really want to drill down to the best advice. 17/2 and 18/4 players are both pathways to a team that will win naff all ever. Almost always, its a waste of money training them and certainly always buying them.

Now that is better advice than mentioning 18/4s

So here's a question. If I put my 17/2's up for sale will there be someone like me out there who will think they are 17/3's? :mrgreen:

So is the plan to stick with this for a couple of years until you see real progress? I would still seriously consider moving on after a couple of months. There are better teams out there for you to make a long term project out of. I would stick it out here just long enough to get your rating up.

I've got a feeling that I may get rather attached to this mob. :roll:

Thanks to you Karrde and all of the other for the help and input by the way. :)

I know the feeling of getting attached. I did it myself with Currahee. They were a bottom division team with 0 points with just the final game of the season to go when I took over but i loved them instantly. Just giving fair warning that its going to take you years to see a reward from this mob. If youre prepared for that then I think its the best thing you can do in this game, but isnt for everyone. Its taken me since May 2009 to get the team to where it is now, I have no regrets either. I will stay another 5 years if I have to :lol:

Lost 5-1 over two legs in the cup which looking at the merits of the team I was up against could have been worse.

Went down 2-0 away in second league match although at least had 5-3 in favour in terms of chances. I've got two big red crosses already. :roll:

Just played a friendly with a team that I beat 6-0 nil with my old mob and won this one 7-0. Which was nice. :)
