I was thinking that Magnus might be well suited to being the left-sided player in a 3-man defence in a low-block system. With 15 Agility there's no chance he's going to get turned inside out by a Winger. Can show them to the touchline all day long (so long as he doesn't go in for a rash tackle...)

Crealk Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 1 hour ago, HighwayCathedral said: OK @Davedinho, @Crealk, @WrexFan, @SoSolidSnake. Having rolled everyone up, I have come to the conclusion that I have been slightly too stingy, and everyone's stats probably need a slight boost. To that end I am allowing everyone to pick one 'Good' category and transform it into an 'Excellent', and to take one 'Decent' category, and transform it into a 'Good' (as an added bonus this will make the distribution of dice blocks symmetrical i.e. 3 Excellent, 4 Good, 4 Decent, 3 Poor). So let me know which Decent and which Good stat block you want boosted, and I will roll an extra d4 for each attribute in those block. For Mohan: [01] Decent -> Good 8 -> 9 Throwing 7 -> 9 Loyalty 8 -> 10 Acceleration 7 - > 11 Off The Ball [03] Good -> Excellent 11 -> 13 Decisions 11 -> 12 Handling 14 -> 15 Free Kick Taking 12 -> 14 Weak Foot I will upgrade block 1 & 8. Hard to decide which blocks to go for, as I got overall low rolls, but hopefully made some good choices 😅 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighwayCathedral Posted December 23, 2021 Author Share Posted December 23, 2021 @CardiffDragon An interesting set of stats for a fullback! My read on Osian's upsides are that he has good defensive fundamentals, good distribution, and good control, and a good work ethic. Possible downsides are that he isn't the most quick or dynamic, and he probably has a mistake or two in him. He feels like a realistically talented but flawed player.

CardiffDragon Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 So he can do the defensive bit, tackling and marking, he can do the end bit, crossing, passing and technique but he just cant get to both ends of the pitch fast enough to do both!!! i think i will go for tries long range free kicks and ties to play his way out of trouble 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardiffDragon Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 He has the potential to be the hero or the villian of the game, setting up goals but then giving the pass straight to the their star player 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighwayCathedral Posted December 23, 2021 Author Share Posted December 23, 2021 OK. I think we're almost set. Life has conspired to keep me from adding everything into the DB just yet. But I will get to that soon. After that, I'll try and get an update in before/during Christmas. If we're lucky we I might manage a couple by New Years. After that, it should hopefully get a bit more regular. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighwayCathedral Posted December 27, 2021 Author Share Posted December 27, 2021 Just to let you know that due to Christmas busyness I haven't had the time to post the first update.

HighwayCathedral Posted January 16, 2022 Author Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) Hell everyone, apologies for the 20-day delay. The holiday season rather took it out of me, and then it was straight back to work. That meant I haven't had the mental capacity to give this sufficient attention. I didn't want to keep posting apologies, so I thought I'd only return when I was really ready to get going in a consistent way. That turned out to be this weekend. I've run a few test seasons to make sure that nothing major is getting screwed up, and it all looked fine. Now I'm in the process of running the real thing. So expect updates soonish. EDIT: OK I've posted the very first career update. More to come. I probably won't end up being this granular all of the time, but I'm just going to feel my way into it and see how it goes.
