Golden Retrievers: A Flying Start

Following from my last blog entry The weighted approach to glory!

First two days of new season in Voller has passed, and I've got some good signings based on my weighted attributes list.

I have played 10 FA games with the following results: 7-3-0
Scored 17 and only conceded 5.
Remember though, this is the lower league of the EFA, so there are better teams to play out there :)


My team consists of the following players now. I'll list their placement on my weighted list for each position. N/A means these are my old players not even close to matching the best attributes for their position!

Position (Natural position) - AF - Weighted rank
GK (GK) - £28k - N/A
DL (DL) - £50k - 239th
DC (DM) - £220k - 17th
DC (DC) - £35k -8th
DR (DR) - £20k - N/A
DML (AMC) - £16k - N/A
DMC (AMC) - £230k - 7th
DMR (DMC) - £28k - N/A
FCL (DMC) - £16k - 178th
FCC (AMC) - £24k - 68th
FCR (DMC) £40k - 123th

All in all, I'm really happy with my defence. Those two DCs which score high for defenders on my weighted list are really spot on. Assisted with the brilliant DMC, I have a really strong central defence.

Looking at the attacking players, I'm not sure if I use the correct parameters. Right now my list is based on maximising Goals per Match (GpM), but I'm thinking for the team as a whole that it would be better to base the list on attributes needed for scoring team goals. However, I'll leave it for now.  My FCR has a 0.7 GpM ratio, the FCC has 0.5 and the FCL 0.1.

Next for my team, I think I'll secure my defence by getting a new GK, DL and DR.

On a side note, I'm also looking at a project of creating a team in another GW which will be based on maximising the average rating. Obviously the players would all need jumping 20, but it could be an interesting project to see how much average rating actually corrolates with team performance.
