I have an issue.

It's done a reset on me.

We have two options.

I did have a save game I can go to from pre update (I did also have a save yesterday but it's autosaved over it with the reset), the issue with this is it won't have the updates nor any players that have been added. There will be some work for me to do with squad changes since but only a couple of hours.
Or I update and start again so everyone has all their new buys. Issue with this is I will need a good week to sort it, it's not a quick process.

by **Hero** Sat 12 Jan 2019, 2:18 pm

Reason it happened was that I couldn't locate Fernando Andrade that Trebs bought when I was putting his team sheet together, I'd checked his squad, Porto and Santa Clara so I went in Manager Mode to see if I searched for him there it'd locate him.
Went back to the squads and it'd reset.
So I at least know what caused it this time.

by BamBam Sat 12 Jan 2019, 2:56 pm

Ffs Trebs

by BamBam Sat 12 Jan 2019, 2:57 pm

I would prefer option 2

by **Hero** Sat 12 Jan 2019, 3:04 pm

I would too although it's a ballache.
Just discussed a way of probably making it a lot quicker on the squad updates in that to have a sheet that includes all the RL teams in one list so I can work through by league to make the changes rather than at present having to work through by each team in our league and therefore going back and forth.

by Renege Sat 12 Jan 2019, 3:56 pm

I’ll go with whatever is best for you hero

But if it’s back to old squads I’ll need to do new tactics

by **Afro** Sat 12 Jan 2019, 6:11 pm

I don’t think there is any real urgency to not do option 2. Just the pain for Hero to rebuild all the squads.

by **Hero** Sat 12 Jan 2019, 6:59 pm

Even more gutting that it happened the week after I'd just done them all mad

by **Hero** Sat 12 Jan 2019, 7:00 pm

I did manage to stream a couple of games btw before the reset.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat 12 Jan 2019, 7:27 pm

Do we carry on with those fixtures and squads or [alternative options inserted here]?

by **Hero** Sat 12 Jan 2019, 8:06 pm

Yes carry on, just will unfortunately be a bit of a delay on them.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat 12 Jan 2019, 11:54 pm

That’s fine, do we do a fixture round this week too and do double games or hold off a week? Do we do transfers still but they can’t able added? Also, did the squads update so the database has changed?

by **Hero** Sun 13 Jan 2019, 1:07 am

I'd say hold off a week, if the player list is done so it's in order of real life teams and countries I should be able to redo it a lot quicker this time round.
It'll be updated to Jan 10th when I do it as that's the latest update.

by BamBam Mon 14 Jan 2019, 5:47 pm

While we're on pause for the squad update, would you all please be able to go into the Google Doc and view the budget I've got for you on the summary tab, and just check it ties to what you have?

Just been doing the odd spot check, found a couple of players who weren't on the confirms page and meant that teams were showing as negative

Twist and Renege - I've got you both in the negatives atm, can't figure out what's missing either!

by BamBam Mon 14 Jan 2019, 5:54 pm

Mystery solved Renege - you hadn't confirmed the Butcher lawyer

by **Afro** Mon 14 Jan 2019, 6:08 pm

My figure is a couple of k less than yours, so I’ll keep with my number.

I also don’t think Newport have that much from tactics bonus given Soddy hasn’t been on here since early November.

by BamBam Mon 14 Jan 2019, 6:12 pm

Think Hero kept giving them the bonus in case we found a new manager

by **Hero** Mon 14 Jan 2019, 6:57 pm

Yeah if a new manager comes in then it'd be unfair on them to be that far behind.

by **Hero** Mon 14 Jan 2019, 7:04 pm

Just to update, I've now made a spreadsheet with all the players in order of leagues and clubs. I'm now working through that list by country.

by **Afro** Mon 14 Jan 2019, 8:23 pm

Ah fair enough then Ok!

Just to confirm I’m not doing any injuries or lawyers tomorrow?

by **Hero** Mon 14 Jan 2019, 8:41 pm

It's certainly a lot quicker to work through than doing it by teams in our league, already up to England league 2 (Championship) so shouldn't take long.

by Renege Mon 14 Jan 2019, 9:04 pm

Bam. Although my budget is still lower than what you have in your document, I’ll be on 223k after adding the week 8 league tactics bonus

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 14 Jan 2019, 11:41 pm

Shout me tomorrow if you need any help with that, Hero. I’m gonna do the update too and try match up as many players as I can do we have a backup

by **Hero** Tue 15 Jan 2019, 10:22 am

Dropped you a message with the spreadsheet link Dolph if you want to do the update too.

I made it that I have done 8 Press Conferences, not seven?

by Azzy Tue 15 Jan 2019, 11:59 am

I have no idea what's happening right now, I have to admit.

You are correct - the numbering has thrown me off

Hero broke FIFA so has to update all the squads with all of our transfers since the original League 2 squads, so we're on pause for this week which will hopefully give him enough time to do that and stream the rest of the Week 8 games. We'll restart next week with lawyers and injuries on Tuesday for week 9 fixtures

Separately, I asked everyone to check their budget in the Google Doc to check I'm not wildly off by missing transfers / budgets or just adding extra 0s in transfer fees

by **Hero** Tue 15 Jan 2019, 12:09 pm

I'm pretty much halfway with the updates of players into squads, then need to get rid of the players taken out but that's not an immediate requirement as can still then play the remaining weeks games.

by **Hero** Tue 15 Jan 2019, 12:12 pm

There has been some removal of players again by FIFA with the Jan 3rd and 10th updates btw. I've lost another one!
I'll add up who's lost what once it's all done, anyone affected can either have full TM value back and an additional transfer for the week or keep them in the squad and they just can't play them.

I had put Matt Preston in the Domestics column and you then put him in Transfers In - taking 2 amounts for the same player. So I have removed him from Domestics and it is all correct now.

by TwisT Tue 15 Jan 2019, 1:10 pm

Just an idea to throw out there while Hero is sorting the squads and we have a few week 8 games to play......shall we just play the hardcore cup fixtures this week? No injuries needed to be drawn for that and we can start week 9 on Monday when everything is in place?

by Renege Tue 15 Jan 2019, 1:22 pm

Hero still needs to do week 8 games, given the time taken for update I don’t see the need for anymore games this week

Doh, that explains it

They were due in last Friday, so I assume you would have already done them ..

I was waiting on a PM back from Hero, but haven't badgered him due to the update fuss!

by **Hero** Tue 15 Jan 2019, 3:19 pm

Apologies, because you'd called it 'tactics' I thought it was your tactics and I only open them when I then play the game lol.

by Fluxy Tue 15 Jan 2019, 4:03 pm

Haha no worries, I did consider that might have been the case. Will send them straight back to you!

Actually my mistake, he is still there Yahoo

by **Hero** Tue 15 Jan 2019, 4:52 pm

I got in Romain Faivre from Monaco as he was added into Fifa on 27th Dec, cost me £95k, bargain.
Fifa then crashes for me, I have to use the update from 10th Jan and he's been removed again.

by Trebs Tue 15 Jan 2019, 10:11 pm

We could always just go back to the old tactics

by **Hero** Tue 15 Jan 2019, 10:51 pm

Yeah I'd love that after spending around 20 hours over the past week sorting this.

by Trebs Tue 15 Jan 2019, 11:49 pm

Just thought it might save you some time, that's all!

No worries!

by **Hero** Wed 16 Jan 2019, 11:52 am

Had hoped to complete the list last night but the Mrs wanted to watch Bird Box. Fingers crossed this evening can sort it.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Wed 16 Jan 2019, 11:03 pm

As it’s a new week, can I make new signings?

by **Hero** Wed 16 Jan 2019, 11:21 pm

by **Hero** Thu 17 Jan 2019, 9:48 am

Should be able to get some matches done later this evening Very Happy
