Asunto: mentor..?

so how beneficial is it to get a mentor...? i think i am doing decent as of right now but would a mentor provide me with unseen benefits? opinions..?

i think mentors are useful but you are very active and ask a lot of questions through forums so unless you want help with tactics or knowing what skills are beneficial for certain positions, than it is not necessary. It is more helpful to those who do not get involved like you do.

sounds good although a couple differing tactics would be nice... i guess my freind who introduced me to sokker is my informal mentor...good enough..

is your friend billy olsen? cause i teach him almost everything he knows, we have a big long line of people playing.

yes sir it is. i take it you were/are his roomate....if you taught him everything maybe i should buy you a beer instead of him for his advice. LOL

haha, ya. there are a couple of us. billy uses my tactics right now. but he has a pretty good understanding of most things other than the fact that he loves selling people early and does not make his team as good as it could be, which I have been trying to tell him but he is too obsessed with having a really young team.

haha well billy and 'fromasta' tell me to stop buying people and selling them or sacking them but if you look at my transfer history you can have a very good laugh...

hahaha. ya, i think they are both onto something. I would only sack people if nobody buys them. but try and keep those players for a while if you are happy with them and train them until they are really good.

haha at least you were a little nicer about it... billy just calls me a fkn idiot...

i seem to sack people when i can get someone better and they 'reject going on to the transfer list'

ya, they reject cause they havent gotten a chance to play. you just need to give them a couple games in a friendly or at the end of a league game when you are winning and then after a couple of weeks you can sell them, which is a much better choice.

sounds good bud. next time i drive down to hang with billy we'll all go for a beer...seeing how i jacked some ones beer in the fridge last time.... LOL

Is there a list somewhere of things for a new team to do?

Little unsure about how much to spend on coaches, stadium & trainees. Got a friendly, but not sure of training scheme yet.

I would recommend a mentor for you if you don't know anybody that knows the game. The rules can tell you a few things but having somebody you can ask questions to and help out with tactics and monetary issues is very useful. Also, I know fromastaflex has a really good summary of things to do, so you can send him a message in sk mail and he will send it over to you.

at this current point in the season, I'd train stamina. one game left in all the leagues, and most teams train stamina in the offseason since it trains all players.
