u/NostramanVIII

Three years for someone on his wages seems a bit much.

This will either be a great move or an absolute disaster.

I’d link directly to the X post if it wasn’t banned, but the link is on the page.

A mode with no pickups? Pretty good right, interesting to see how people adapt and the new builds they bring. Until you see people bringing gun lugger Ogryns, autogun/Recon Lasgun Vets and other ammo-hungry builds that can’t properly take advantage of the ammo regen sources those classes have available, if any.

Conversely, others take it the complete other direction. I’ve had a smite-only Psyker in my team the last two runs, both doing absolutely no damage and constantly going down while they’re a sitting duck.

Don’t get me wrong, you can play what you want, but so many matches I’ve seen 5+ deaths because people keep fighting over the very limited ammo or bring terrible builds.

Looks like we’re playing the U21’s until the club is sold as Top won’t or can’t put in any more money.

Out of the frying pan, into the fire.

They reckon they can get him on the cheap apparently.

Incomings:

Ryan One (forward, Sheffield United)

Danny Ings (forward, free agent)

John Souttar (defender, Rangers)

Davis Keilor-Dunn (Midfielder, Wrexham)

Outgoings:

Stephy Mavididi (forward > Rangers)

Abdul Fatawu (forward > ?)

I just started (and finished) a career playing 3ATB. It was too frustrating, I was conceding six every game.

It’s impossible to play with three defenders. The team won’t press, if your CB’s aren’t incredibly pacey you’re fucked, you can’t defend against formations with two strikers, you can’t control midfield or get forward either. How do you make it work? I feel that you need to have much better, particularly regarding speed and passing, players than the opposition to make this formation work

It feels like a 352 is strictly weaker than a 4231.

Thankfully, it will be available without the BC Game sponsor.

Is the club even worth the amount they’d sue us for?

I just won the treble as a small team in Spain after five seasons. Unsurprisingly, my best players got a lot of interest the following summer. All three of who I would consider my key players had their release clauses met, I sold one because he wouldn’t negotiate new terms but the other two accepted new contracts with higher release clauses. That got me thinking, was I willing to sell them, knowing I didn’t need the money? I thought it would be realistic to have to sell them to big teams but the teams throwing insane money around are Bournemouth, Wolves and random clubs in the Championship.

I would be willing to sell my star striker, I have some exciting prospects coming through, but there are so many OP Pregens in the game I’d probably need one to compete.

I didn’t mind having to sell my best player from the first season when I got promoted because it was realistic and I needed the money to rebuild the squad to not get relegated.

But now there’s no chance of that and there’s not really much at stake any more. I can buy anyone I want, I don’t need to rebuild the team, and the market is saturated with good players. I’m pretty sure I’m going to end the career this season because I’ve won everything and achieved what I set out to already playing the football I wanted to.

When do you decide to sell?

We genuinely might have to do this.

So I’m playing Germany, and somehow I managed to get the PGA to win the 2ACW. I haven’t seen them win in forever, it’s usually the ACC.

The war ended in early 1939 and in three years they have done basically none of the reconstruction focuses, I genuinely have no idea what they’ve wasted their time doing. They’ve declared war on Canada and subsequently Mexico, and are on the verge of getting curb stomped by the Internationale and Entente because they were in no way prepared. Genuinely why would they do this? Is it because it’s the Longists? They’re suicidally belligerent.

Speaking of suicide, Savinkov did almost none of his industrial or military focuses, and had hardly industrialised. He managed to lose against Central Asia. I’ve literally never seen him do that before. He declares war on me, and I barely have to go on the defensive before he blunders his way into giving me the initiative, and he’s surrendered in a year. He couldn’t even capitulate Georgia or Turkestan again.

The Japanese didn’t do much better, and have lost years of gains in China to German East Asia without me even having to do anything, I’m not even propping them up. And then they decided it was a good idea to declare war on the Entente. They’ll probably have lost before I even get over there after mopping up the Internationale.

The Communards left half the Western Front unguarded to focus on Italy so I was able to push them back easily without a serious offensive. Spain is neutral and aside from a bit of stuff in the US they have no other fronts.

Goalkeepers:

1. Stolarczyk. 50/50 on him. I don’t rate him much personally but he’s good enough to start at championship level. He could stay but I think we will need to accept a bid for him for PSR reasons.

2. Begovic. He’s about 40, probably on huge money for this level and his contract is up. Ines out the door.

3. Vieites. Has a year left on his contract and I can’t see anyone bidding for him.

Fullbacks:

4. Ricardo. We already know he’s leaving.

5. Luke Thomas. He’s staying, League One might be his level and I can’t see anyone buying him.

6. Aluko. Probably stays and will likely start.

7. Kristiansen. Has made it very clear he doesn’t want to play in League One so will force a move. He’s incredibly injury prone and has missed the season so we won’t get much for him even if he can sell.

8. Choudhury. He’s said he’s staying but I think he’ll leave so we can get his wages off the books. He’ll have takers in the Championship.

Centre backs:

9. Vestergaard. Has a year left on his contract but he looks washed. I can’t see us selling him for pennies.

10. Gray. I think he stays as a squad player next season or he’s out on loan.

11. Souttar. We will probably sell him, he will have takers even if he’s been long term injured.

12. Faes. He’s gone, and if he’s not he’ll down tools until he is.

13. Okoli. He’s absolutely rubbish but has admirers back in Italy apparently.

14. Nelson. Someone will buy him. I don’t really rate him and would be happy to move him on.

15. Lascelles. He’s probably gone unless he accepts a new contract on less money. Which he has no reason to.

Midfielders:

16. Harry Winks (AKA cunt supreme). He’s forcing a move, we can’t afford his wages anyway.

17. Oliver Skipp. I’d really like to keep Skippy for League One but I think we will need to sell him.

18. Louis Page. One of the few I think we need to keep at all costs. I personally see him staying.

19. James. Already said he’s heading back to Rennes.

20. Ramsey. Back to ~~the hospital~~ Burnley.

21. Reid. A year left on his contract, but I think he’s forcing a move and he’ll get one.

22. Aribo. Free agent.

23. Mukasa. Back to Man City.

24. Golding. He probably gets some minutes next season.

25. S Thomas. He’s probably sticking around.

Forwards:

26. Fatawu. Sold to the highest bidder. We need the money.

27. Ayew. Gone, he’s on too much money.

28. Mavididi. I see a slim chance of him staying but I think he’s forcing a move.

29. Richards. Back to the oblivion of Chelsea’s Bench.

30. Daka. He’s absolutely gone. Can’t afford his wages and out of contract.

31. Marçal. We probably release him, he’s out of contract and not getting minutes.

32. Monga. He’s getting sold, too much hype around him.

Definitely a damning indictment of Top’s reign and fan satisfaction with the club.
