I cant even get onto the site. Just get an error telling me to change my DNS settings (which I'm not going to do as I'm at work). Hopefully it'll work at home again.

You'll get better results if you play youths alongside older players so have a youth heavy line up if you're focussing on development but keep one or two older players in there too - at the very least to keep the average age up.

As Peeps has said, the most effective way to develop youth is to play youth alongside older players. To quote Xpert:

 

Match experience

 

The players get match experience when they play matches and above all competitive matches. They will get some match experience when playing friendly matches also but only fractions of the match experience they get when playing competitive matches. The players also get different amount of match experience depending on which teammates that plays the same match. Older players get less match experience than younger players. Better players get less match experience than the poorer players. Also if the player doesn't play in his regular position he/she will get less match experience. The latter is especially noticeable if it is a goalie playing outfield player or vice versa. Players with the special quality of being allround are not affected as much by which position he/she is playing.

 

The players get match experience not only from their team mates but also from their opponents. Especially the opponents playing in team parts that the player face most. In other words defenders will get most match experience from the opponents forwards etc. Goalkeepers will get 60% of the match experience from the opponents while the other players will get 40% of the match experience from the opponents. When it comes to the opponents their skill is more important than the age compared to when the players get match experience from team mates.

 

The match experience will together with the average form influence the player's skill development at the season updates. The more match experience a player gets the better.

 

I also like to rotate youths in the same match if I can as I believe playing two youth players for 45 minutes each is more effective than playing one player for 90.

Does anyone ever play someone out of position? All rounder is definitely one of most useless traits

 

All the time with my large midfield, sometimes I find it works quite nicely to throw people off expected tactics and is great to have backup to stop any other positions suffering during a suspension or injury crisis.

 

I will have a cheeky 1 PP bet on Isler scoring :P

Was a good game against @RogerFederer thought I would edge it playing a 4-4-2 but sadly was not to be. No way am I winning against Inter away so it may be a long wait for my first win!

 

Peeps was thinking today it might be interesting to merge spotlight and BetPeeps somehow? Eg if you win spotlight you get more betting points.

Decent start to the season. Key match against Submarine next.

 

As for "playing youths", as long as the average age is between 25 and 29 you're good.

I'm dominating the Yellow Card and Red card leaderboards at the moment.

I think my time will be up sooner rather than later 7 years straight every Tuesday and Friday is a long time to play the same game!

 

It is starting to become a bit of a chore if I am honest, having said that the league is brilliant now.

Getting a bit more WiFi here in Japan so Winston are well on course for a good season for the young talents in the club, DVS looking positively filthy. Scouting here could be going better, apparently all the Japanese are into their baseball? Rubbish.

As I said on the PR comment...if you go, I go BROTHER! I'm only here because of you and it's fun but devoting the necessary time to this is becoming increasingly difficult, especially as at times it's been at the expense of other more important things, like life, lol...cue 'xpert is life' comments!...:p

Similar sentiment here but for different reasons - no time to actually develop the team going forward. Feels like all I have time for is quickly setting up matches without analysing the opponent plus training players too late. I think I might see out the Xmas period as I'll have time to prepare but looks like the end for me too :(

Well I hope you all reconsider but the league will continue to run so if you do decide to leave you can always come back again ;)

 

I think next season we'll be running just the two divisions by the looks of it :p

Got my official team into div 4h :)

 

I'm back in the UK now, so will take a proper look at your betting thing Peep's. Sounds good though.

99% probability I will be relegated from division 4 :( Have forgotten to set tactics for way too many matches though. I don't know how Peeps can manage 5-6 teams at a time, I can barely manage two :p
