Gaming The SM RedCafe League

I posted this a year ago:

I, now, aim to sign every half decent youngster not at Arsenal or Forest.:cool:

My mission has been an unqualified success. Blackburn has one of the best youth teams in the league now!
 
The match engine is absolute bollocks, the reason I quit the game for good. Transfers is what keeps most interested, I built 2 very good teams at Spurs and Villa but lost the enjoyment as the results were never consistent or realistic.
Villa is doing decent this season as of now :cool:
 
Message I posted on SM if anyone missed it:
All high earners for sale at MK Dons, constantly in debt, constantly can't hit a barn door. Cash or u25's in p/ex offers. Bid away!

People might buy if you don't want stupid deals for mediocre players. I offered you decent youngster for Milner but you wanted two for a 30 year old who's only going to go down in rating.

That's rich coming from someone who sold Young for 13m and wanted more than that originally.

Have a look at Young's stats and tell me if he wasn't worth that money. He was the top assister in all 5 divisions. 12 goals and 31 assists, that's more assists than all your midfield and attack put together :lol:

Young was extremely under-rated and might even go up in this review!

So your basing his value on the amount of goals & assists that he managed to achieve in Division 2 in a randomized gameworld of SM and ignoring the fact that SM bases it's rating system on the performances in the 'real world'; in which Milner's league stats actually out performed Young's last season, he also played over 300 minutes less football than him.

Don't worry, I'm sure the SM mods looked at Young's performance for Wolves last term in our GW and thought "Shit, we should give him a rise in the next review!"

So where should Young's actual value in a game be calculated from, the real world or the game world? If he performs in the game that's all you need and that's what Stoke got, 6 goals and 5 assists in 13 games is fecking fantastic. Better than Ronaldo who cost several times that! And regardless Young was key to many games last year for United. Same cannot be said for Milner. So your value of him is completely unrealistic.
 
Be prepared for him to appear rarely.

That's what i'm afraid of. But then he's a boss player, so I fancy his chances of forcing his way into the first team. Every time I've watched him play he's looked the best player on the pitch. Made Bayern look a bit silly the other day.

How many other players did you have playing in that game?
 
Gaudino, Lewandowski, Kurt (on buyback clause). Why do you ask?

I've noticed myself when I am interested in watching a certain player he seems to stand out over the rest that's why I asked.

Could take a season or so. Azpi still highly rated there and Ivanovic doesn't look like going any time soon

For those curious, here's the difference in my squad value in this world and the test world:

Hope they don't implement that. Can't they just listen to what the SM forumers suggest instead?

I won't progress in the cup I don't think. Cuadrado Suspended and Mustafi injured, so my weakest starting 11 yet.
 
Aston Villa played their second string on Sunday so will be playing their first team against me tomorrow. Not that they need to with the players I'll be fielding.
 
Just checked and all 5 Div full. Someone leaves everyday though RS so considering you're online 24/7 you'll get a spot soon :p

One more GW for you to complain about the engine to the developers :p
