Default What's your team-building philosophy?

First, let me point out that I'm playing CM01/02.

I've always preferred LLM, but have never been successful at it. I've managed a number of teams but have never been promoted. I usually get fired after one season or at best during my second season.

I've never really understood how to take a team with little money and build them up, so I'm asking you guys to talk about how you approach it.

I realize that each team's situation is different, but maybe some of you have a general philosophy of LL team rebuilding.

What do you focus on first? Do you begin selling players immediately, or keep them for a while to get to know them better? When you have a little money to spend, do you concentrate on coaches, or defenders, or goalkeepers, or strikers, or what? Do you wait for your youngsters to develop, or do you try to buy better players for your first team right away?

I'm playing a LL team in Russia right now and the board just injected some money...but now the team is facing relegation, and it has so many weaknesses, I have trouble figuring out what to do first to field a better squad and avoid being fired.

In the LLM world, what aspect of your team should get priority?

Thanks for any advice on how to approach building a better team.

A realize that most of this stuff is probably pretty obvious to many of you guys, but keep in mind that I live in a country where football is a pretty low-ranked sport.

I pick a team. I try to win. They usually don't. I sign some replacements. I pick a team. I try to win. They usually don't. I sign some replacements (frees as I have spent all my available money). I pick a team... you know the rest...

Trying not to get sacked is a good start. Some of us don't get the hang of that.

No tips here fella. One of the beauties of LLM is find out for yourself what works and what does not. Rival managers don't ring each other up and ask how they go about things and this is reflected here.

Good results taste so much better when the knowledge comes from your own devices, and not from a third party.

Good luck!

Without crossing the line of Tipping...

Many managers have different strategies. Some managers decide to give the squad a chance, some axe players straight away.

As what is said in here when such questions come up, it is all up to the manager. You are the one who will take them to success or failure.

Personally, I would work on my first team. They are what will be playing week in week out. Other things you mentioned all should be done, but it is all about prioritising.

What do you feel is the most important part of your club? Ask yourself that and when you come up with the answer, work on it.

We don't really want to get into a bit of a tipping session here so i shall stop. It feels better when you finally work it out for yourself, believe me.

You should look at a few of the Articles on the Sigames website wrote by Iajafer. They are a good explanation of how to play LLM. i did search but something to do with Mysql is't working or something.

Welcome to LLM.

Gee whiz, guys, I'm not asking anybody to get into "tipping." I'm just asking for some general discussion on building a better team.

Is that allowed? Is that somehow against the LLM board rules? Is anything at all allowed to be discussed on this board? What the hell is there to talk about, then?

If nobody has anything useful to say, why bother replying at all? Most of these replies have been absolutely useless. Everybody is a wise guy.

"Trying not to get sacked is a good start." Well...yes...even I can figure that one out.

I can't understand why a general discussion of team building in a LL context is somehow against LLM spirit.

I'm just trying to figure out a better way to approach team-management in a LLM context. I assume that LLs are an area of football/soccer where high quality players are hard to come by. What, then, should the emphasis be in LLM? Does your average Conference side stress defense, or what?

Nobody knows? Nobody wants to talk about it?

Why the rudeness, guys? I came here to learn and I try to follow the rules and respect the culture here, but this is absurd.

...I totally fail to see where the rudeness is. Everyone has helped you in thier own special way giving you guidelines on what to try and do.

The idea of LLM is find out the pit falls for yourself, and not to be served up on a silver platter with a nice Waldorf salad which is what you seem to want a reply on.

Who is the manager here? Us or you?
