    Did you get it accurate to reflect the reality as to how shit they really are.

    Caravella constantly go round in circles with the ball and in defence knocks over his own defenders???

    Bridges does one fancy flick and then coughs it up the next 8 times.

    Gallaway completely inept??

    Birraz not come for crosses???

    Difficult to do but I added a player movement so he dwells on the ball

    Bridges does one fancy flick and then coughs it up the next 8 times.
    I decreased his dribbling, first touch, etc.

    Gallaway completely inept??
    Made him a lot worse than he was

    Birraz not come for crosses???
    I increased his eccentricity and decreased his decisions which shows his erratic decision making at times. I slightly decreased his aerial ability and handling

    I also increased Kale's potential and a few other youth players.

    The deadline was before I saw that much of Zane as manager so I didn't make him that worse. I also understand that I didn't decrease Heskey as much as I probably should

    followed the trend and started a new game with the jerks

    don't know if its happening to people but on the new update every club bar barcelona were offering huge money for chapman, PSG offered 3.5 million

    i held onto him on the basis id play him all year and than sell him

    sold heskey to celtic for 500k lol

    bought erik paartulu, talk me 3 weeks as he wanted to be marquee had to pay overs on his loyalty bonus to leave that spot free, even though i didn't end up buying a new marquee

    also got brent macgrath

    birraz came under deadline day contact from parma for 2 mil but also held onto him as i didn't have a backup after BK

    bk is leaving at the end of the year and i have already lined up redmayne on a free from heart


    7 games in i am second

    griff, neville and caravella are basically all out for the season, shit physio and fitness coach no doubt has something to do with it

    kale bradbury has just made his debut and scored (mfks )

    current start line up is (with there actual position


    SK: Biraz
    WB: Brillante
    BPD: Chapman
    BPD: Jaliens/Reegz (they both are rotating)
    WB: Carney
    DLP: Paartulu (absolute beast)
    BWM: Zads
    BBM: Kanta
    IF: Hoole
    ST: Taagz
    IF: Goodwin

    find playing hoole and goodwin on opposite sides is a killer as brillante and carney are good crossers

    My favourite bit about the Jets is that all of the backroom staff are RUBBISH and ALL think they are good enough to walk into any job anywhere so gladly accept mutual termination free of charge.

    Deans OUT, Healey IN
    Regen scout OUT, 3 blokes all with double your stats IN
    Dingle OUT, 2 new physios IN

    Almost booted Catlin as well but the replacement GK coach wanted way too much money.

    Greatest game in the world.

    Livingston just offered me MONEY for Bridges. Hand bitten off, thank you very much.

    And unlike the PREVIOUS researcher, our own soccerjoel hasn't got Bridges as a club legend so when you !@# him off to Scotland for peanuts, the fans don't riot.

    Heskey, Griff and LJUBO - brilliant.

    Amazing first game.

    Beard to Goodwin, goal.
    Heskey to Griff, goal.
    Griff to Goodwin, goal.
    Goodwin to Taggart, goal.

    4-1 over the Smurfs. Their goal was a dubious penalty by ADP who booked Carney for standing behind him when he took a dive.

    He rejected me for Sydney. Then didn't score a goal in that 4-1 drubbing, teehee.

    My signings were Dennys Martin, Matthew Byrne and Jake Nakic.

    Game 2

    10. Neville to Heskey, GOAL.
    33. Goodwin to Taggart, GOAL.
    43. Brillante to Taggart, GOAL

    Lousy second half. 3-0 over Perth though.

    end of january and he has only scored one and now kale gets the bench strikers role behind taagz and griff.
