No Bennett :shock:

Nope but he will probably get on a lot from the bench and rotated in when players aren't fully fit.

First game of the season is away to Dagenham and Redbrdige which is a nice start as they're one of the weaker sides in the division and I'm still building my team blend and getting the players used to the new tactic. Ashley Barnes plays in Matt Sparrow who gets a debut goal! Bennett comes off the bench to poke in the second from a Calderon cross with 15 minutes to go. 2-0 win.

Then Hereford away in the league cup and I win 3-0 thanks to a Bennett penalty and strikes from Sandaza and Holroyd. However, amazingly, Bennett missed 3 additional penalties in this game!

He's a one in four (penalties) man

Turkey, I know this is a really vague question, and I don't expect a detailed answer. But from someone who doesn't play FM. What % of results is luck/random, what % is based on what you do (formations, tactics, passing style, mentality, training, etc.), and what % is based on having players with the highest stats?

P'boro H
Charlton A

Takes me the best part of a week playing solidly in free time to complete a season, not one day!

Thats dedication!

 

[jcdenton08]

Two days - got it yesterday

 

[sam86]

Why are you starting again? I don't get it

 

[fruitnveg]

Still, thats a whole 5 better than me

 

[jcdenton08]

Why are you starting again? I don't get it

That was carried over from the quickstart - I want to do a full game now with different leagues... I aim to take the mighty Eastbourne Borough to Champions League glory

Well it's impossible to give answers as percentages as it doesn't work like that.

I'm not really sure how to answer your question; everything is taken into account, morale is important, if a player is on a high, he's likely to play better. Tactics are important and of course a players ability is important.

Take us to the Prem!

I don't know how you do it to be honest, you're better than me and I bloody work on the game!

 

[jcdenton08]

A lot of patience and playing each game very slowly... I deleted the save game - basically, I don't want to *do* the game too quickly. Last time I was bored by mid-December. I''ve started a new one with the mighty Eastbourne!

I've just started off in the Danish 2nd division with some team starting when "N".

I've included the English leagues as I want to end up in my dream job of managing BHAFC in time.
