Weekly stability is one of the most important criteria.. and stadium provides that.. with player buying-training-selling, there is a lead time of 1 month, and for some one like me, who wants a backup player for each position, there are only 3 spots in team to do that.. 15/09/2012 04:55

with all due respect sanyam, you are talking from a div 2 and above perspective.

in div 3 / 4 i was turning round players pretty regularly, my back-up squad was alot weaker than my first team. it certainly didn't include any 'keepers'.

would u still say thatgiven now that div 3 to 4 get very few high prog players, and if they do, they need to pay them huge salaries! 15/09/2012 06:08

getting a good backup squad can be difficult even in DIv. 1. I am still short an RDF, have to buy one before the 2nd game of next season or improvise something else for the first cup/private league games. sanyam's point holds even in low divisions, unless you just choose to play low effort and lose a lot. 15/09/2012 06:13

well that's a bloody interesting point

looking at it that way, maybe my post was more relevant to div 4 / 5

for me the first team plays league games... and backup players for PL and Cup, where i really dont mind the results... (except in cup at times.. but there, first 3 weeks are normally easier and then we get extra day off per week...) 15/09/2012 06:16

its not a question of affording.. look at my GK.. 27 avg.. bought for almost nothing... the point of 2nd squad is that you can play league games at max effort.. this, i believe is important in each league.. so even if you play 10 avg players, i believe it is imp to have a backup squad.. 15/09/2012 07:15
