    That's not the worst run you could go on, considering two of the games were away.

    Lambert was terrible for me. It's Lee that's putting goals away like fine china...

    Yeah I know, but over the last 6 games we have been rather crap, even when we win we are quite ****, the only game we have been good is the 11-0 win against Watford but that was partly due to Watford being **** themselves.

    I'm like you Dan, trying to get good athletes as well as players. I have a checklist for looking at players...

    Are they strong? (Usually I also look at height too)
    Are they fast?
    Are they naturally fit, high stamina?
    Are they determined?
    Do they have high teamwork/work rate?

    It seems to be working, just past the halfway point of the season and I'm currently 6th.

    And also, uh oh....

    I don't really care about teamwork, determination and work rate :p They'll fit in my system no matter what damnit. Just gotta be fit enough for a 60 game season

    I thought you were more learned than that! Usually for me it's Determination higher than 15 unless in extreme circumstances <laugh> I even do it with the youth. I rejected a 4* PA because his determination was 3!

    It stops the Puncheons and the Taarabts from making their way into the team <ok>

    I was, but then I realised it didn't actually make that big a difference if they're a good enough player. Just bludgeon them in and it all works fine.

    For tutoring purposes, I prefer the high determination at the very least.

    How useful is tutoring? I've got rivaldo tutoring James Ward-Prowse at the minute and I'm not sure it's doing anything.

    Tutoring helps improve young players' mental stats, but only if the tutor's stats are high. Usually it's determination that improves, but other stats can do too depending on the player.

    I had Hammond tutor Ward-Prowse and it worked out okay, while Sinclair was tutored by Sharp.

    When did you sign Rivaldo, as I have him, did you sign him after I said about him.

    ahaha no sorry pal, I signed him either on 11 or 12(pre patch) for free and he was quality. So I started a new saints game recently and signed him and he has been quality again although this time I had to play the princely some of 40k with 2k a week wages! <laugh>

    I paid 80K, just wanted him, I am happy I paid it as he may be 39 but he is good as a back up and also his fitness is ****ing great for a 39 year old. I pay him just over 1k a week. Weird that you signed him aswell LOL, I thought no one else would sign him as I thought I may have been a bit mad to sign him.

    His technical stats are off this planet especially for championship standard. Just let him stand still and play!

    Yeah not too much pace, but he is still great, Crespo is not too bad, only played him 3 games out of 12 or so but he gives it all, no pace but give him the ball in the box and it is in the net, he is 6th choice though.
