Wow, some great rolls on the marking and professionalism!

Looks like I'm a fair bit dirtier though haha, not awful for a defender though I guess. Although paired with still relatively bad tackling, I could be seeing a few yellows and reds...

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...)

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 😅

Okay so I'll upgrade Block 3 to Decent, and Block 6 to good :) 

 

I'm excited to see where he ends up haha

You don't have any extra positions to pick.

 

You have two extra preferred moves. Pick one from:

Places Shots

Cuts Inside From Right Wing

Tries To Play Way Out Of Trouble

Likes To Round Keeper

Brings Ball Out Of Defence

 

Pick another from:

Tries Long Range Free Kicks

Moves Into Channels

Plays No Through Balls

Plays Ball With Feet

Arrives Late In Opposition Area

@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.

Hi Crealk, here are your boosts:

 

[01] Good -> Excellent

10 -> 12 Acceleration

13 -> 17 Off The Ball

11 -> 12 Decisions

9 -> 10 Long Shots

 

[08] Decent -> Good

3500 -> 5500 Starting Club Reputation

8 -> 12 Passing

6 -> 9 Teamwork

8 -> 12 Determination

 

---

You have gotten stunningly lucky! Category 8 saw you get 15/16 possible points. Also, can't knock that 4 points to Off The Ball! 16 Anticipation and 17 Off The Ball might wind up Yakiro could be lethal up front.

Also... Yakiro has moved to a new club...

I'll add the move attempts to develop weaker foot, and I'll add the AMR position too :)

Noted. You still have one more extra position actually!

 

Davedinho was born on the 4th January 2005, (making him our eldest player so far).  Davedinho has come through the Academy at... Burnley! That's going to be something. What a place for an attacking midfielder :D

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.

Very interesting thread!

I guess I'm a little late to sign up, but I'll follow this thread! If you decide to do another one, I'm in. 

Merry Christmas to everyone and lots of fun with your players!

You're still fine if you want to post a player. I'll be prioritising getting up and running, but I can definitely squeeze you in

I'm really busy the next days, so I wont find the time to work through the process of creating a player.

Oh god haha, Burnley will not help Davedinho flourish in my opinion but we'll see what happens!

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.

Are you able to add an extra player for the start of the next following season?

There's no problem with doing it now if you like. I'm prioritising getting updates out for everyone else, but I can focus on your character whilst the game is loading.

The game is still in pre-season, so I can add you in without your guy missing out on much (replacing some poor real-life youth player).

No worries, January is always a tricky time just after the holidays!

The updates were great, glad to see Magnus being a regular first teamer and getting his goal! 

Quick question: should we post on here, or the career updates thread?

I'm not fussed. It's probably cleaner to post here, but I'm putting the links for each update in the first post of the other thread, so it should be easily navigable either way :)
