dafuge Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 Sounds very tempting. Where are they in the World Rankings and what quality of players have they got? 8th in the rankings and a reasonable team but nothing special. Perhaps I could take them to the Euros before jumping ship for a World Cup campaign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaeltmurrayuk Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 what sort of star ratings do people in the prem have for their players as i have one player who is rated 7 stars both current and potential. the coaches rate my other players with 5 stars as leading prem players in current ability 3 or 4 stars, with the likes of Roberts and Oliveira occasionaly rated with 5 stars. The stars are annoying when you become a top side as they are relative to your team - so if your team is full of Leading Prem players even the best players in the world will be rated as 3/4 stars, with the occasional superstar getting 5 stars and decent prem players getting 2 stars and everyone below prem potential getting one star (which is fun when loaning out young players as you have no idea what level they are at).

michaeltmurrayuk Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I find that at the end of the season all the stars jump up 1 until the league reset date. Same happens to me, which is annoying as I normal use that period to decide who to keep and sell for next season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cysne Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 World Cup with england now. Mathew is now a ''Decent player for most EPL sides'' and about to hit 30 caps. So hope I can win it, then I have a clean sweep of all the major tournements with england. I'll keep you updated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeltmurrayuk Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Bit of a difficult decision here.We all know how difficult it is to get decent goalies without playing them from a young age, I've also stated that I want to introduce as many youth players as possible. Should I try dumping my England number 1 for a 15 year old? Here's his coach report I'd play him in the Champions League Group games or the League Cup games, or you could try loaning him out when he turns 17.

Cysne Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 A 2-0 win agaisnt Romania. Saved a penalty, fans wanted to win by more. I'm happy, didn't play brilliant, need to improve for sure.

dafuge Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 After my sacking from Brazil, I had these three offers Mexico had no upcoming fixtures, with a wait until December for the World Cup qualifying group to be announced. Since I was looking for a quick spell before the World Cup, this ruled them out. Holland was the obvious choice, but they were third in their Euro qualifying group looking at a playoff place at best. I also had no players in their squad so this just about ruled them out. Switzerland however, had a great challenge in prospect. Already sitting in a playoff spot in their Euro qualifying group, they had a chance to upset England while making the playoffs if that failed. This was enough for me, I took the job. No pressure then! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyedOutMan Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Right ok. 3 problems 1. no stadiums/kits folder for BSS because they come with the game - so i assume i have to create one but what do i call it and then how do i get a config file? 2. where do i upload to? Photobucket is the one i use for pics but doesnt take other files. 3. i think it comes under two. Can get you a logo config file, but no idea where to get a stadium background one or a kits one...
