Yep Roger, I somehow did exactly what I advised against (or for, depending on your perspective). Look at that extra cash flowing in!

Thank you all for the welcome and all your advice, I'll take it onboard and start to make plans for the future. Much appreciated lads!

Work out which players you want to improve. Potential A definitely, Potential B almost certainly and then maybe Potential C. You'll get 55 CP per session so that's 220 more (don't count the final session as that will be used next season) on top of the 61 you have. Decide where these will go.
Work out what XP you need (this is more complicated so ask if you're not sure) so you know how many matches you want each player to play. I always assume 3-0 wins or 3-0 losses and adjust as I go along. For my OH, Frank, I want 24 more sets so my note says 3×6, 2x3 which means I want to play him in 2 games 3 times and 1 game twice.


Cheers James,
The first advice I would give is to NEVER use your web browser's back button after making a post. You've seen the result (though it likely gave you an extra 5 RP, so maybe it's not the worst thing). π
My second advice is don't ask me - I still don't know what I'm doing. π
Best of luck, son of Craig.

Welcome to the game James, looks like you've inherited a decent, if slightly lopsided, squad. Not sure why anyone thought that many OHs were a good idea.
The advice at the bottom of the order sheet is probably all you need to start picking a winning team. For longer term team building, I'd suggest getting your head around how XP work.
Psyching out the opposition is probably the most important part of the game though and, by the looks of your Forum post on the old man, I think you're quickly going to be the master of that.
Good luck!

James,
That MB pickup was pure luck. Our squad is destined for mediocrity for just shy of eternity.
Also, I like seeing how many "Re:" can fit in the title bar.

Yes you're right Brian! Rather annoying too π€£.
I beg to differ, of my minimal knowledge so far looks like you have a good up and coming squad. Picking up a 5 star MB, Nice!

Not sure what happended below as I had more to add to my blog entry. Stupid computer π.
What was meant to be added below was, do any of you guys have any tips or tricks you would be happy to share and what would you recommend me to do with Albuquerque Raccoons?

Allan has been fantastic since I've joined, emailing me with a lot of inforation and taking time out of his day to get me up to speed. My old man has also been great help but I doubt he will give me anymore tips this week π

The Squirrels' rebuilding timeline has been moved an additional 2-3 seasons out. We should be competitive sometime around season 20. Until then, enjoy your easy wins vs our arboreal rodents.

Hi Roger,
Thank you for these helpful tips. I would be happy to discuss other strategies away from the prying ears of the league.
Cheers,
Brian
