Comments

Fraser

High Teamwork, quickly improving Passing, high Determination, high Creativity, high Technique, high Off the Ball, and high Decisions. Combined with his naturally good athleticism, IRL, he would be a player that would play well with better players at a higher standard. Some player skillsets are good at dominating weak opposition, while others like this are good at contributing against good opposition.

Fraser

Also interesting how hard Ryan Jack has hit the cliff. I think losing CA that consistently isn’t necessarily realistic. I think the way it would be is he gets an injury which stops him from training, reducing fitness and pace, resulting in much lowered CA which very slowly recovers. If he doesn’t get injured he might steadily progress to former levels, but at some point managing load becomes too difficult and it only causes one soft tissue tear to derail a season. So decreasing by 25 over a season isn’t unusual at all, but decreasing by a point each week in the absence of injury would be incredibly odd.

Is max ever going to find a new women's GK? Maybe he should recruit a netballer

Fraser

Looking at CA as it approaches PA A consideration is: Does next season really have to be a consolidation season? Anything can happen if Chester make playoffs. Ian swan - Maybe sell at end of next season? Would be championship standard by playoffs Rainman - Sell at end of next season, would seem in many ways more promising than Ian Swan was when he want to Chester (can’t remember how much he cost?) Christian Fierce - Christmas Window next year? Could be a decent championship player, though might be hard to find someone better if competing in playoffs Fitzroy Hall - I can’t place him tbh, Shoulld be sold soon, probably before Christian F. Can’t imagine him sticking the whole year, regardless of playoff intentions Omari - likely within 12 months Tom Westwood - likely within twelve months… cya juniors :( Potential best 11 for playoffs, which would be as good as any in championship: GK Ian Swan - 127 LB Cole Adams ~ 135 CB Zach ~ 135 CB Peter B ~ 130 RB Nasa ~120 (could be more with Secret Sandra) DM Youngster ~ 140 (national team?) LM Joel R ~135 CM Dan B ~ 125? (could be more with Secret Sandra) RM Bark ~130 S Dazza ~140 (Aus selection?) S Wibbers ~ 140 (u21 selection?) Bench Colin B ~ 125 Gabriel ~ 135 Max B Fierce 120 Sticky 122 CM Andrew - 121 Adam Summerhays ~120 Thomazella ~ 115 Magnus Evergreen ? Alfie Clitheroe 115 (National team selection?)

Fraser

Soz for spamming, but the last consideration is that Max should be able to get more out of old players than anyone else, seeing he can manage their load/condition, injuries, etc. and also give them a route to start coaching, scouting, etc

MARLL

As I understand it, a major reason for consolidation is to be more prepared for the PL. Rushing up there would make survival in year one that much harder.

Galeg

I think there are plenty of examples of old players suddenly losing it.

SlickMongoose

Max really should be fleecing a richer team for one of these high CA, low PA youth players.

Fraser

Yes, but both for player growth and financial reasons, getting promoted would be at least a bit better than a consolidation season, even if immediately relegated afterwards. You earn an extra 60-80 million a year in the prem, which could immediately be invested in both good players and better facilities, something Max would be able to leverage better than anyone else. Even with the demotion parachute payments mean about half that extra income is retained. However, the main thing is that after just one year in the Championship Youngster, Dazza, Wibbers, Gabriel, Zach, and Peter are all going to be hitting their ceiling due to the competition and facilities. If they win then Max can put them on the contracts closer to what they deserve (personally it feels a bit bad to see players getting paid a fraction of their worth), invest heavily to improve facilities, scout much better talent, existing talent can grow immensely, sell players for tens of millions as they hit their ceilings, and honestly still have a decent chance of not getting relegated anyway. Even if relegated Max’s investment into facilities and also throwing tens of millions to rent elite facilities elsewhere should mean he can keep and improve the super stars that want to stay with him even if growth is a bit slow (should be CA 150+ by then easily), and construction would likely still be occurring this season anyway because construction takes time. It allows him to accrue really good talent that otherwise wouldn’t consider Chester and playing them in the championship is a bit gentler than the prem. I think that the mid 130s will be the ceiling next year, and having an extra 60 million to invest a year early would raise it significantly, while a consolidation season wouldn’t change too much. Either way, Year 1: Championship Year 2: Consolidate / Prem Year 3: Prem / Potential Relegation season in Championship Year 4: Prem The main difference in year 4 would be that Chester’s facilities should be ~30 million pounds better and a year earlier, and I think that Max could also make an extra 25 million through transfers due to being in the Prem, and also attract better talent. Of course, getting into the prem would be easier said than done, just because it might be better doesn't mean its possible

Ah! I wondered why there was only one guy in that list but was too tired to check it. If you put two asterisks in a sentence, Patreon thinks you want to convert the text in between into italics. So when I undid that, the asterisks were deleted and I didn't notice. Thanks to you, they're back!

Fraser

What can happen with injuries is that they stop you from training properly, but you might still be good enough to play even if a bit injured, so you play at 95%, miss more training, play at 90%, miss more training, and eventually you are going into games having done half as much training as most players in the league in the last two months so your skills aren’t sharp, and you are still managing an injury... Of course performance and consistency suffer

Jonas H

The math regarding Max's income is incorrect, based on the info that he earns 3600 a month on the Best Chestern. He would earn app. 3600/4,35(average amount of weeks in a month) =827.58 a week. Making his weekly income =13967. Yearly 13967x52,177457=728.793. If my calculations and understanding is correct

Ted Steel

You are right! I meant to come back to this comment but I just spotted the mistake myself when doing the latest appendix. By the way, I use 4.33 as a rule of thumb for months divided into weeks. Is 4.35 better? I think I'm too old to learn a new way but I would be willing to try!

Jonas H

The specific number of weeks a year is 52.177457, divided by 12 its 4.34812141666666 weeks pr. Month. I just rounded up to the closest 2 decimals. I dont think it is that important, if you use 4.33 or 4.35. To me it is a bit impolite to correct someone, so I made sure to be as specific and correct as i could be. As if it somehow makes it less impolite😆
