uusinjsh Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 hmm, yes, all these 'pandev, mutu to arsenal; kuzmanovic, diego to chelsea' won't be good for their teams. but the big buyers - chelsea and arsenal will be in opposite teams so it will be like a competition ''who will buy the less players who are aka 'always transferred to england' hope you understood me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
canvey!! Posted July 15, 2008 Author Share Posted July 15, 2008 However, only transfers up to the 10th August are considered, so some of the big moves may occur after that and not count for the task. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulHartman71 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 This should be good from a Manchester United point of view, in my games they never seem to buy anyone in the first transfer window Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeeman27bob Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Out of interest( but mainly out of boredom) i wonder if you could sell your whole squad before 10th August and if so how much money would you get. I'm going to have a go with Aston Villa ( my team ) now and see how i do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I tried to do it with Tottenham. There were no problems with Berbatov, King, Robinson etc. but with backup lads it wasn't so easy (with Boateng, Ghaly, Tainio), very few teams wanted them even for 0 euros. I earned ~120mil for this (Berbatov - 30mil, King - 25mil, Robinson 20mil, the rest - for peanuts) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikel LUFC Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Yeah but you'll still need a team for the rest of the challenges so surely you don't want to sell too many good players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeeman27bob Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 i read the task once and then thought about who i was going to sell then it started to dawn on me that we weren't all playing together so it wouldn't work Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
canvey!! Posted July 15, 2008 Author Share Posted July 15, 2008 Yes, the beauty of it is that the AI doesn't know the tasks were being set. As this task only lasts until August 10th, real people would make any sales before August 10th and any purchases after August 10th when they don't detract from the score. But as it is the AI, you'll get a fairer game. It also allows me to use the staggered CA/PA system, because people don't really have a CA/PA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaldinho Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 This looks fb. Boro are short of decent players so I'm kind of hoping we don't flog the best ones because future challenges will be a shambles without them. I think Cattermole is rated at around £20million sometimes though so that wouldn't be a bad piece of business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

canvey!! Posted July 15, 2008 Author Share Posted July 15, 2008 It might be nice if the person who gets fired posts here a small post-game statement, a la the taxi journey. Most of the clubs already have the players they need because it's an 8.0.2 edited database, so transfer activity should be less. I don't want to post too much as I've already simmed the task and written the report - given the speed I now know I can do it we might be able to move the sign-up along a bit faster.

uusinjsh Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 canvey, if you have a chance to post results earlier, then please do it. i understand that you want all users to read the task and take a part in conversations, so next day is a bit too fast. what about two days?
