i have just finished my fourth season with alfreton and have managed promotion to league2, after winning the conference with 97 points. I was hoping to get 100 points, but used my 2nd string / young players once promotion was secured.

I got to the fourth round of the FA cup last season, but was beaten 2 -1 by Fulham away from home. I have just been beaten on penalties in the leagu cup by cardiff (away). This match was particularly frustrating because i was serving a touchline ban and so could not make any changes, or select my penalty takers.

Alfreton turned professional at start of this season, although I had the majority of players on full time contracts already.

my first home game of this season brought a record £45k gate receipt, with 3500 in attendance. Hopefully this means this season will be quite lucrative.

the board has given me a transfer budget of £130k this year. This seemed a bit tight becuase there's £900k in the bank. My attempts to get them to part with more do not go down very well. At January I will try again.

I set my nationality to brazil, with a secondary nationality of Azeri. I am finding it hard to sign players from azerbaijan though - there's only about two in the game though. is there any way to increase the number of azeri players? I can only scout within the uk at the moment.

I have the players set to random names. This is quite funny sometimes because the game allocates british names to players from all over the world, e.g. iraq.

I suggest you read the Forum Header and featured topics...it'll give you a grasp of what LLM is.

Azeri players in the YooKay?

Is this an update or a question?

I'd have avoided random players, it's just so ..random.

scottn72

Understand the question now.

Not sure how it works with scouting foreign countries, but most lower league teams will only let you scout your own nation.

I think if you progress with your team the board may start letting you scout bordering countries.

i like using random players because i don't like my prior knowledge of players to cloud my judgement. admittedly i don't know any players in the lower leagues anyway, but hopefully i will climb to higher leagues.

also i like the more random names. I like to search for players with my name (alexis) and sign them.

iajafer

Like I said...I think acquainting yourself with the Rules and Guidelines is in order

scottn72

By the time you get to the higher leagues it would probably have all changed anyway, and a lot of the known players would be retired or at the end of their careers, but fair enough.

scottn72

Aye sorry, forgot to mention that the player search function is a no no.

i've read the guidelines twice and can't find anything objectionable in my post...maybe you can help me out?

mintus55

but this is so that you cannot sign players who have been recommended to you?
