The Chronicles of Mathieu Burkholder (133)


eng holt >> monday december 13 - 13:29

Say  what you want, but in no other multiplayer football management game will a Slovenian second division club 1402th in popularity have enough money to buy the best player, past, present and future.

Let us ring in the new year with an evalutaion of our golden boy, shall we?

  • The long drought has finally come to an end. Matthieu has scored his first league goal! Watch the highlights here: [1]
  • He still seems to be inivisble for most of the matches, but the fact that he is starting matches will certainly be a huge boost to him.
  • It is believed that Matthieu has not been registered for the U-21 league matches. While this may seem to protect him from injuries, there is a high risk of his growth getting stunted.

Age: 15 year, 45 weeks (100%)

Scoring: 4.70

Special attributes: Determined, Poacher(Trained), Sharpshooter(Trained), Long Shots(Trained)

Pretty late, here's an update nonetheless:

  • Sweet sixteen for Mathieu! He seems to get in the groove more and more as the days pass and his brilliant performance in the U-21 youth cup [1] is a testament to his hard work.
  • Speaking of U-21, he's finally been included into the U-21 squad as well! This comes as a jolly good surprise to all, only bittered by the fact that he doesn't play a lot of them.
  • Mathieu has completely disrupted the salary hiararchy at the club, earning just less than the best player at the club.[2]

Age: 16 year, 32 weeks (100%)

Value: 7.55-13.85

Scoring: 5.25

Special attributes: Determined, Poacher(Trained), Sharpshooter(Trained), Long Shots(Trained)

Weekly wage: 185,760 RSD

Yearly wage: 9,654,840 RSD

@Holt

That's not mathieu you've posted above. [ok i get now] the team best player, ~hugs~
il Numpty >> thursday february 10 - 11:33

After the manager got banned from doing any loans he sold all the first team players, presumably to cut costs. So the 'best player' is now an old defender with little value.

First post on page 582 by the team manager. 

"I was defacto banned from having any further loans from my first team to my second. (Because if I ever loan one of my players I will be unverified)"

So it's loans between his own teams.

Mathieu wasn't going to be loaned out anyways, since he plays league matches. I doubt the ban affects the player.

Mathieu has had a fabulous season so far, and it seems to keep getting better and better for him.

  • Two hattricks in the U21 Youth cup [1][2]
  • A league goal [3]
  • A goal in the national Cup versus an extemely strong opponent [4]

Apologies for the delay.

Mathieu's records from the latter half of last season have unfortunately been lost, but we cann see that he managed to add two more to his account before the end of the season.

In the new season, he's already scored one [1], especially against a much stronger team. Not much else to report about, other than the fact that he's being overlooked for U-21 matches as well. Ardent followers of Mathieu find themselves baffled by this exclusion.

Mathieu's salary is also the third highest among the attacking players of his nation, Curaçao.

Age: 17year, 29weeks (100%)

Value: 9.40-15.95

Scoring: 5.70

Special attributes: Determined, Poacher(Trained), Sharpshooter(Trained), Long Shots(Trained), Dribbler(Trained)

Weekly wage: 278,505 RSD

Yearly wage: 14,482,260 RSD

Thanks for doing this @Holt. 

Just to note that both his wage increases so far have been +50%. This tells us that his calculated wage should already be (a lot) higher. So we can expect it to increase by at least 50% in the following seasons. 

Here's the relevant rule as posted by Vincent.

- Players can gain at most 50% compared to their previous contract. (existing rule)
- Exception: if the difference in wage is very big (more than 3 times the previous wage) players can gain 100% (new)

He didn't get a 100% rise we can assume that his calculated wage should be between 150% and 3 times the previous wage. My guess is that all future wage rises will be either 50% or 100% until he's at least 30.

If that's true, the minimum wage by age 30 would be RSD54m a week.

I doubt he'll make it that far. :-(
