Slightly turned the corner in Voller had a hairy game against the current top side really ding dong ended 3-3 and that's with three first teamers out injured.
My other good kid Holzer has in a handful of senior games scored and put in a 60yd pass for an assist think I'll hang onto him. If he can do 7+ at Premier / Championship level that's going to save a heck of a lot of cash.
Does seem odd he plays so well at this level despite being 18, mind there are teams filled with these players so go figure:)
Lots still left to be done we're borderline 6th in EFA 1st run and I need to average 6th across the three runs.
We're less than 24 hours away from being classed as rich in both GW's :)

Big Sale
Sold an 18yo DC for £2m in Voller and a 17yo DM for £1m in Turk.
I tried the DC at senior level and he was uninspiring I think he'll do great at Division One level but in the Premier / Championship he's a long way off being good enough. He was on a low wage and I'm sure he'll go great guns but the opportunity cost of £2m was too much to ignore.
Armed with this cash now coming in over 8 weeks I've spent half of it on the stands. These never offer a return so always a big capital investment and fully funded by this sale. Looking good:-
It's strange but even if he could perform his wage demand would rise quickly (bugs aside) and I'd then end up with another problem.
Anyway bottom line in both Turk & Voller I have around £2m cash (in Voller £4m projected) not a bad squad and stadium well under way.
Form wise it isn't great anywhere, once again the Voller team has is drawing a load of games P8 W1 D6 L1, they did this last season and with me needing to average a top 6 finish across the three runs in EFA it's not good. We're a tough team to beat but is that going to be enough.
In Turk I started with a 4-1 defeat so then got a £1m Aq Fee right winger who was awesome in a 1-1 but then went out for five games, doh! Slight silver lining I had insured him so I've not been rushing to play that many games as I'm £30k a day better off whilst he's injured:)

FML Casual Only
A chap in Voller was rage quitting and a discussion started about the state of the game. A few of the managers in there posted to the mailing list that actually you were far better off not really stressing over the game and just playing it casual.
I must say this is exactly my position now it does play a lot better if your casual. In some GW's Whiteside being one I think I went seasons without playing any live games, often the answer to a teams form is time so why stress out about it.
I'd skim though results and they would go WWWWLLLWWWW the LLL had I been around I'd have fiddled and no doubt made it worse.
I'm still convinced that for us more normal users that would actually like to play more then three hours a week a faster GW would be much better. I've got some half tidy youths in Voller and it's six months before they hit their peak, I think my sub runs out before then!
Read that some teams are now able to support £200k wage bills in some GW's, this isn't funded by success on the pitch but their success at Football Trader Live. In turn this is possible, even easy with heavy inflation.

FAism
Strange one I'm finding the EFA is actually not much good for me, I log in everyday and if there is a game to play I'll play it if not I'm gone.
As the season moves forward I end up not getting any AI rights so then not logging in which leads to less AI rights which leads to less logging on.
Pity I enjoyed the pace of it as well
I stuck a bid in on a 29yo World Famous winger in Voller and immediately regretted it. £35k a day basic demand luckily someone else came in for him.
I've done the same silly thing in Turk with a 30yo and hoping someone does the same, I don't know why but yesterday I got it into my head I needed these players without looking at costs too much:(

Turk Season 3 Squad
Well this is the Turk squad for season 3, it's showing 7.3 in biography and the cost is £51k a day. I don't really know how I've done that apart from shopping in the gaps.
It's nuts all anyone seems to want is an Under 24 5star PA, not sure my strat is the right one remains to be seen if I get Premier League or not. Anyway as you can for the most part solid mature cheap players plenty of cover as well although if Coroza gets another long injury we'll miss him.
GK- Vitorino £6k Wage £600k Aq Fee, why did no one else bid? 28 too old, only six seasons left in him:p
DL - Valeri Came in starting pool nothing too fancy gets the job done though.
DC - Gonzalez Bit of a loon with massive aggression and other mentals.
DC - Said Still £230k Aq Fee on his last season mentals still green getting slower now though.
DR- Dossary I don't know how I pick these up, high concentration and other mentals pacy right back who can play wing.
MR - Medina £3k a day can play wing and MC
ML - Zouaghi The winger who played much of last season as MC and still pulled an Av Rating of 6.8 in a poor team. Flair Agility looks a big threat.
MCd - Bagalini another lunatic chopper type, undervalued player 18 Natural Fitness so few seasons in him
MCa - Coroza In the pool a nice bit of culture in this young un.
FC - Alvardo Can play on either foot, not super strong or fast but seems to know where the goal is
FC - Andrade Solid no nonsense striker
Sub
Gorski - Might use him a lot this season.
Was chatting in Turk yesterday and managers with £60k wage players are seemingly delighted with their purchase. There is me thinking do I need to bid another £300 and their contemplating another £30,000:)
Another chap peeped up he signed a bargain £700k for a £26k AF striker who wouldn't get on the bench in the squad above.
Anyway lets not get too cocky I still play 4-4-2 which is quirky and we're not an established Premier League side yet.

Inflation is Great
I reached the semi finals of the FA Cup last season and won £250k, meanwhile I've put all youth players on auto accepts, sold two straight away for £500k!
In Turk still looking for a LW I found a strange one, £190k Aq Fee with no bids and a low average rating. I checked he played most of last season as MC, signed for £3k a day.
I think both squads are strong enough to secure Premier League football now and both are quite low wages. If they are, then the plan is to build the stadium as quickly as possible whilst trying to hold a Premier League spot.

Looking at Coppell seems the best you can get is 9 not 10/11. Looking at it it seems to be a high 9, like 9.7 ish.
Reps in Sample FA Coppell:-
Tier One - 9 to 7
Tier Two - 6 to 4
Tier Three - 4 to 1
