  1. Luton Town // Sky Bet League One // March 2029 Against Bradford we guaranteed automatic promotion to the Championship, and against Cheltenham we clinched the title. 4 losses in 42 matches is incredible and undoubtedly we were several steps above the competition from November onward.
  2. Luton Town // Sky Bet League One // February 2029 We faced two Championship teams in the FA Cup: we beat 24th and lost to 1st. We'll most likely be there next season so I was pleased with both performances since we took Sheffield United to extra-time at their stadium. We almost helped Colchester in their relegation battle but our goal scoring form is too good for everyone else right now.
  3. Luton Town // Sky Bet League One // January 2029 The month began with the elimination from the EFL Trophy to the anger of nobody - I already won this trophy at Colchester and it brings no benefit either financially or sporting. The gap to MK Dons continues to increase and 2029 starts with a clear title contender. Omari Hutchinson - ML - free - I had some doubts regarding signing him now or wait until the summer to possibly sign someone better, but he only requested a Fringe Player status and €1.7k per week so this is an absolute steal. Matchoi Djaló - MR - €1.7m - my starting MR wanted to leave to Troyes, and so he did for €3.5m. In comes a fine replacement for a lower fee and he's possibly even better than his predecessor.
  4. When I'm looking through the report cards I keep the mouse on the "acknowledge" button (the last one to the right). But from one player to another the buttons move slightly to the left or to the right - it would be nice to have the buttons not moving sideways because when I have many report cards I click a lot and sometimes the mouse is on the "delete" (the red X) instead.
  5. I was able to remove the "Basic view" dropdown but now how do I remove that space and push the players names' up? I'm editing match team stats full top xml
  6. Luton Town // Sky Bet League One // December 2028 I often seem to do well in fixture-heavy months. No other team in any division is likely to have a perfect record in this month. Only three teams have not lost any of the last five matches, and the other two had 1W 4D. So naturally there is a rise up the table and a nice gap if MK Dons don't win their game in hand.
  7. Is there a way to hide the "Basic Info" dropdown menu on the "Player Ratings" panel, so I can see all the subs without needing to scroll?
  8. You'll hardy have a CB over 6.8 without a goal/assist or a clean sheet.
  9. Luton Town // Sky Bet League One // November 2028 Definitely an improvement over last month. It helped that we faced bottom table teams as I reverted to my Arrigo Sacchi 4-4-2. We continue active in the FA Cup and the EFL Trophy, although I will field a weaker team for the latter. It's a wild ride at the top, all places are up for grabs.
  10. Luton Town // Sky Bet League One // October 2028 Last month's good form is definitely gone, with the team falling apart during schedule-heavy October. Only two wins in seven league matches brought us down the table but still in playoffs contention.
  11. Luton Town // Sky Bet League One // September 2028 Rock solid defense! We scraped some wins, especially in away matches. Set pieces could also be more effective but let's keep the morale high and the unbeaten run going.
  12. Luton Town // Sky Bet League One // Transfer deadline day I thought I had done all my business before the final day, but an incoming offer meant some late business. Derby offered €4m for my 30 y/o right-back with one year left on the contract. He's still quality and a team leader but his physical stats won't last more than two seasons, so I accepted the offer and remembered a scout suggestion during the summer. Calvin Ramsay - DR - €400k - downside to this A+ suggestion is the imposed €600k release clause but I'm hoping I can give him a new contract next year to get rid of that.
  13. If a training additional focus is also highlighted in the position/role/duty training, will it add any extra amount to those attributes?
  14. "shoot less often" will encourage players to look for a pass or dribble before shooting. if there is no viable alternative the player will still shoot.
  15. Luton Town // Sky Bet League One // August 2028 Not a bad start. Two draws in the first two league matches but statistically we dominated. A loss to Southampton which is normal, and then convincing wins, maximizing the tactical focus on set pieces and the use of a Target Man. I rather draw a couple more matches and remain undefeated because that's a good morale boost, but we must keep capitalizing on the chances created to score. Harry Brooke - MC - €500k - I like physically strong midfielders and Brooks is very capable, but he's short which makes him useless in aerial duels. Apart from that he should do well as a B2B.
  16. You have the big 5 and you have peripheral leagues and South America as well, looks perfect to me
  17. Think of this as a rule of thumb. Do you want to play a direct, wing play, kick and rush style? High mentality Do you want to play tiki taka, short passing looking for an opening, no long shots, build from the back? Low mentality
  18. I've settled on this concept of mentality = risk by reading several threads in the forum. It's definitely not a clear concept in the game but it's the definition that makes the most sense and easy to understand.
  19. Mentality is RISK If you want your team to be creative and take risks (1v1, through balls, runs down the wings, get forward) use a high mentality. If you want them to play safe (side passes until a space opens, shoot from good positions only, don't get forward unless there's a blatant gap) go low mentality.
  20. Luton Town // Sky Bet League One // 2028/29 pre-season A mixed bag of results as I try to assemble a squad to my liking. The squad is much worse than I expected, to be honest. There's one player above average and the rest are either average, old, or not good enough. There's a handful of promising youngsters but they're not ready yet to be consistent good players at this level. Thus far seven new players arrived to an immediate increase in the squad's quality. Joe Tomlinson - DL - free Kevon George - DC - free Micah Hamilton - ML - free Lewis Joseph Carthey - ST - €95k Tyler Fredricson - DC - €170k - the best player I had at Colchester didn't renew but I had to pay a compensation to get him. He is once again the best centre-back at his club. Lyberis Meserdis - MC - €49k - I wanted to sign him since I was at Kidderminster but only now was I able to offer him a good enough deal. Mason Burstow - ST - €700k - big money signing in this save but it's still a good deal as long as he performs, which according to my staff he is very capable of.
  21. I'm not very interested in building a club and since Luton have facilities and money that Colchester don't, I decided to move.
  22. Colchester's good and bad news are someone else's responsibility now, as Wingplay Crossicho has just signed for Luton Town! Either way next season will see Crossicho manage in the League One, but once again the step up is fairly considerable: manager wage €1.2k €5.5k per week; wage budget €50k €280k per week; transfer budget €300k €12m; social media 65k 160k. Roughly speaking, Luton Town has the setup to be able to scout all across Europe and sign the best young prospects, something Colchester's board could not provide. Club reputation ups from 2 to 2.5 stars and the facilities are better as well. Easy choice.
  23. Colchester // Sky Bet League Two // May 2028 + end of season A fitting end to a great season. Crewe and Southend join us in automatic promotion and Bradford won the playoffs and will play in League One next season as well. The key to our great season was, in my opinion, having two good players for each position, which gave me freedom to rotate and not lose much quality in such a long, match-heavy league. Most players will remain for next season but the loanees are gone and Tyler Fredricson who is the best centre-back by a mile doesn't want to renew which is unfortunate.
  24. Colchester // Sky Bet League Two // April 2028 A month of decisions where we bested Man City U21 to win the EFL Trophy and be crowned League Two champions! We always scored loads but this year's defensive record is also impressive.
  25. Colchester // Sky Bet League Two // March 2028 We will play the EFL Trophy final against Man City U21, and it will all come down to what team they will field. If they don't use many first team players there's a real chance of winning this trophy. The most important part is done, and next year Colchester will play in the League One. And while it's not confirmed yet the expectation is to go up as champions.
