The times catched up on me!

I'll let you know why I will never become number 1 in any GW.

The reason?
I'm too old. Aged 29!

If I'd been playing this game 10 years ago, I know I would have been all over the market place. I would have pestered people, chatting in the lobby, making myself a name in the GW, always looking for good buys, selling crap players expensively and generally strike good deals all day long.

Nowadays, I can't be bothered. If I want to sell a player, I'll put him up in auction for a reasonable price, and he is picked up within a couple of days. If I want to buy a player, I'll submit a couple of over-the-top offers and hope someone will accept at least one of them.

So that leaves me in a position just outside the very best of managers. I know I make mostly correct decisions in the game and that strategically speaking, I'm probably one of the best managers out there. But it doesn't add up when I'm not at pair in the transfer market. Add the fact that my tactical knowledge is somewhat limited, the conclusion is that I don't think I'll ever make it to the top spot for an extended period of time.

I feel a bit like a footballer in his last years. Even though I now have a much better understanding of the game and I know how everything will play out, I just don't have the youthful dedication that is needed for the final push towards true glory!
