pressure cooker full of skittles
Not sure if I'll stick with this, but I figure it's a good way to keep me engaged and also to crowdsource some solutions/answers since I still don't entirely know what I'm doing.
I created my own (American) coach and started with no job. I immediately went on vacation through May of 2018 and then applied for jobs I thought were interesting. I'm not an expert in English soccer but I know it better than I know the other leagues so I applied for and got hired at Newcastle after a shitty 17-18 run that saw them relegated.
Picking a team is always my hardest decision, but I lucked out. Newcastle was my Winning Eleven team back in the day (because I was an Obafemi Martins fan), and I won't be embarrassed if I fuck it up because it's Newcastle and it's expected.
As the team was being relegated, as soon as I was hired most of the high-priced talent on the roster demanded an exit, and I didn't feel like fighting with them so I granted most of the requests. More money for me to build my own team anyway. After a flurry of activity, here's where I ended up when the window closed.
Several of these guys are already signed elsewhere (Richie, Shelvey, Torres) and will move when the window opens again, but I still need to move 3-4 more of them.
I hadn't really considered doing a thread like this, so I'm already 14 games into the year and doing well. But I'm a lot better than the teams I'm playing against. Lately we've just been pouring in goals, although we've hit a dry spell the last two matches.
The tactics screen is where I'm not sure what the hell I'm doing.
