Retirement of older players (352)

This has a lot of work to do to become a spectator sport. What's taking so long? Has his zimmerframe snapped or something?

Good point. No RSI jokes please :D

I've done the Tactics training first. After 17 extra Tactics we now have:

Blocking 7.79 Tactics 1.30 Value 13.55

@Stephen I'm going slowly so that I can record progress which will help me refine my star value calculations.

He's on his way. I'll guess at 34.6.

Progression: 

  • Blocking 277 (7.79) Tactics 0.45 Value 12.90
  • Blocking 277 (7.79) Tactics 1.30 Value 13.55
  • Blocking 290 (8.15) Tactics 1.30 Value 15.60
  • Blocking 300 (8.44) Tactics 1.30 Value 17.35
  • Blocking 310 (8.72) Tactics 1.30 Value 19.30
  • Blocking 320 (9.00) Tactics 1.30 Value 21.50
  • Blocking 330 (9.28) Tactics 1.30 Value 23.95
  • Blocking 340 (9.56) Tactics 1.30 Value 26.65
  • Blocking 350 (9.84) Tactics 1.30 Value 29.70
  • Blocking 360 (10.12) Tactics 1.30 Value 33.05
  • Blocking 370 (10.40) Tactics 1.30 Value 36.80
  • Blocking 380 (10.68) Tactics 1.30 Value 40.95
  • Blocking 390 (10.97) Tactics 1.30 Value 45.60
  • Blocking 400 (11.25) Tactics 1.30 Value 50.75
  • Blocking 403 (11.33) Tactics 1.30 Value 52.45

So the final result is 52.45

Seems like my initial calculaton was more accurate than I expected.

Without being 100% sure, I think this shows that my calculation for the Blocking part of the keeper's star value is probably correct. 

[The difference between the final result 52.45 and my starting estimate of 52.40 is simply down to small rounding errors.]

How many seasons you collected that amount of xp? Since buying?

Good question @onuelver

il Numpty >> saturday april 20 - 18:00

I'm not sure exactly.

As far as I recall he was rated around 9.00 when I bought him, this was when most of the best players were in their low 20s. The plan then developed over time as I learnt more about the game.

I trained him for a few seasons and then stopped because I saw that the wages were going up quite fast. I still had a small club and decided to wait until I had other players to match. I would say he probably hasn't been trained for about 3 years.

My 46-year old reserve keeper will retire at the end of next season - is he one of the youngest so far?

That'll be the middle of next season @Lee.

It seems that you get exactly 43 days notice.

Numpty - that's fine, as I was planning to sell him to the bank at the end of this season anyway.

@Aad: I think Lee knows that. What I'd understood from his previous post is it doesn't matter because he was going to go to the bank anyway.

I've sent him an invite to our new organisation:
