COMMON INTERESTS!

In this week's edition of common interests we are going to prepare the team for the next season.

We all know that next season we are going to play on a new server we are going to work with super experienced super mega archie players that most likely taking out some exceptions like the first and second team of this server the rest of us are going to be sent to fight in the first division those who are in the super league and those who are below will surely fight in the second division or the third division.

So the first thing we have to prepare is psychologically the team we have to go and let them know that we are going to play against players who have 60,000 overall and that we are going to compete against people who have teams that do not surpass for years and years and years of training.

It is not to cry but it is so that they are preparing for what is coming.

So you will tell me oh well then why do they work for us we are not going to compete for anything.

Something good can be taken from everything even from the most complex and difficult situations.

In this edition of let's talk about tactics we are going to give a hard study to the part of the manager's work that we have to do to put together teams.

For the next season we are going to find that we are all going to be mixed up, most likely we will lose track of most of them because if they are mixed up if we don't know them very well we will simply find everything mixed up as it is at that moment when we arrive and what we find at that moment will clearly be in dispute by everyone, that is why I am going to give you this recommendation since we are reading the newspaper before the merger and I recommend that you take advantage of every second you have to manage to put together the societies to manage to put together the mergers with other teams that in some way benefit you in the face of what is coming.

Things we have to do:

The first thing we have to do is put together a list of those players who in the face of adversity will absolutely and completely stop playing.

All those players who leave the team, the best thing we can do is take advantage of these days to kick them out of the team and leave the places ready for when in the next points we study those rivals but possible partners that we should invite to our team.

The ideal thing, as I told you in advance a few paragraphs above, would be that the merger you are going to carry out is done on this server. Choose a strong team, see if that team will also have casualties, study the rivals that have fewer players since those rivals are in the same situation as you and possibly need to ally with someone in order to form a single strong team.

Choose the team that has the best facilities, the best stadium, the best hotels to stay with and go all to that team to take refuge in a strong team.

But my best advice is that even after doing this, leave some places available with the real purpose of inviting strong people who can add much more than what you get on this server.

Understand that for the second division there will be available players who are possibly at the level of the best super league players on this server, but there they will surely be average players.

These players will suddenly see with satisfaction the possibility that people fight for them. Not only will it fill you with gratification but it will make you enjoy the game again when you get to the next server and They have some available places, surely they can talk to some player of 8000, 9000, 10000 of overall, surely there are players of normal or below but for our level they are Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi together.

Let's make a list of what we talked about so far:

🔹 First, talk to your team, see who stays and who will stop playing (those will be removed from the team).

🔹 Second, look for another team that is equal or better than you and wants to merge with you!

🔹 Third, leave available spots to include STRONG people from the new server where we go, remember that the BAD GUYS OVER THERE are like the best ones here, so leave your spots available.

🔹 Fourth and last advice, once the servers are merged, quickly look for players, those who will be at the lowest level of the old server, will be the best reinforcements we can dream of for our teams.

Be attentive and don't fall asleep on the server that emerges, you have to be one of the fastest in signing people!

INTERVIEW WITH DEAN ROSE

To begin with, tell us something about yourself.

Hey my name is Tomek, I am a fan of soccer, in addition I like all kinds of strategy games. Interested in a little bit of everything and nothing in particular.

The club in which you play is on the EU server from the very beginning. It was founded in the very first days after the server started. I would ask you to introduce the history of the club so far, the biggest successes. What worked out for you and what didn't. After all, it's about eighteen months of playing in one club.

That's right. The Mazovia Mady club was founded as one of the first clubs, which confirms its ID 150. Our successes are certainly the 1/2 finals of the European League - where no one bet on us, and in the current season reaching the final of the Spanish Cup and again winning 3rd place in the 1st league. The time for more cups is still ahead of us. 

As I mentioned in the last question you have maintained yourselves on the server from the very beginning. What has allowed you to do that? Not many teams have been able to sustain themselves from the very beginning until now. You are one of the few.

We are characterized by determination, inner understanding, and focus on a specific goal. Our leader is a great owner, poised, determined and making rational and right decisions after calm reflection. We have no internal quarrels, each player is assigned his role and everyone knows that he is part of a great team that is Mazovia Mady.

As you know you are in the process of merging with Radość Wygrywania. Some of the players have already gone to you and the others will be coming. It's a merger of two very strong teams. Tell us, please, what are your goals for season 1 of the Legacy server?

Talks about creating one strong team had been going on for a long time before we made such a joint decision. The goal on the English server was to try to win the Spanish league and the Spanish Cup. On the new server there will be more competition - we'll see what the league will look like after it's redrawn.

You also have a second team. It does not look strong so far. It is just weak. What do you plan to do with it, and what goals does the second team have?

The club has 20 slots in the game as you know. Mazovia Mady is a team made up of more players, all of whom we can't accommodate in one club. The goal of Mazovia Mady U21 is to create a club that can compete with the best in League 1 for the top6 and then for the top3 podium just like Mazovia Mady. We all belong to one team deployed in two teams that will support each other.

How will you recall the 18 months you spent on the EU server? What did you like and what disappointed you?

It was certainly not time lost. I'm certainly more determined than at the beginning of the game, I'm happy to have met the people I've met here, they are amazing people, without whom I would have lost my enthusiasm for the game. It's a pity that we won't manage to fight next season to win the league and the National Cup on the English server.

Dean Rose, where did your nickname come from? Is it a character from your favorite game, TV series? What does it mean?

At the beginning of the game as I was creating a player I was watching a match of the England national team and somehow one play of Declan Rice impressed me so much that wanting to be creative, wanting to think of something new I came up with this nickname.

Thank you for the interview!

Thank you for your interest. I wish you fruitful success on the new Legacy server and good luck in opening packages!

THE BASIC CATEGORIES

Hello, Fábio Muri, bringing you another article. What are the best youth categories in world football? Let's answer this question.

Football starts at an early age, little ones running after a football, fighting for space in local teams, dreaming of big clubs, world teams, titles, individual awards, but the truth is that the majority will fall by the wayside.

Let's cite two examples: according to a publication by the Revista Brasileira de Ciências do Esporte, only 1.5% of young people who start in the youth teams at clubs will reach professional football. In the United States, according to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), only 1.4% end up becoming professional football players. In Europe, according to data from Business Insider UK, less than 1% of kids coming from youth teams will play professional club football.

Although there are variations between countries, in general the base is formed in the following ways: under-7, under-9, under-11, under-13, under-15 and under-17 and under-20. 

Where athletes are trained?

In 2023, the Football Observatory of the International Center for Sports Studies (CIES Football Observatory) published a study that created a ranking of the best bases in the world. The study estimates the current market value of players revealed by each club. It is worth noting that the athlete must have played at least three seasons between the ages of 15 and 21 to enter the survey.

⚽Ranking

1. Benfica - 670 million euros (R$ 3.7 billion) - 104 graduates

2. Chelsea - 630 million euros (R$3.5 billion) - 78 graduates

3. Barcelona - 581 million euros (R$ 3.2 billion) - 102 graduates

4. Ajax - 555 million euros (R$ 3 billion) - 114 graduates

5. Manchester City - 510 million euros (R$2.8 billion) - 81 graduates

6. Paris Saint-Germain - 491 million euros (R$ 2.7 billion) - 83 graduates

7. São Paulo - 474 million euros (R$ 2.6 billion) - 73 graduates

8. Santos - 444 million euros (R$ 2.4 billion) - 61 graduates

9. Flamengo - 438 million euros (R$ 2.4 billion) - 58 graduates

10. Sporting - 399 million euros (R$ 2.2 billion) - 97 graduates

As in professional football, the base also has a World Cup, highlighting the under-17 and under-20 categories.

U17 World Cup

It takes place every two years, but will become annual from 2025, with Qatar hosting 5 consecutive editions. It will be mirrored in the New World Cup with 48 teams. In women's football, which had Spain as the last champion in 2023, Morocco will host the next 5 editions. The last tournament was in 2023 in Indonesia, ending with champion Germany beating France on penalties.

🏆Men's Titles

1 - Brazil (1997, 1999, 2003, 2019) and Nigeria (1993, 2007, 2013, 2015)

2 - Ghana (1991 and 1995) and Mexico (2005 and 2011)

3 - Germany (2023), France (2001, England (2017) and Switzerland (2009)

🏆Women's Titles

1 - Spain (2018, 2022) and North Korea (2008, 2016)

2 - Japan (2014), South Korea (2010) and France (2012)

U20 World Cup

Also biennial, but will undergo the same adaptation as the New World Cup, with 48 teams. The last edition took place in 2023 in Argentina, with the Uruguay team becoming champions, beating France in the final.

In 2024 in Colombia, the Women's World Cup will be held, between August 31st and September 22nd.

🏆Men's Titles

1 - Argentina (1979, 1995, 1997, 2001, 2005, 2007)

2 - Brazil 1983, 1985, 1993, 2003, 2011)

3 - Portugal (1989, 1991) and Serbia (1987, 2015)

4 - Uruguay, Ghana, Spain, Russia, Germany, England, Ukraine and France

🏆Women's Titles

1 - Germany (2004, 2010 and 2014) and United States (2002, 2008 and 2012)

2 - North Korea (2006 and 2016)

3 - Japan (2018) and Spain (2022)

I hope you enjoyed it. Big hug and until next time!

COST OF TRAINING IN EURO!

Hello, this is Matushevsky!

Many of you are probably wondering what the increase in Euro costs in training is. Is the progress linear or does it increase in some uncoordinated way. I have accounts on all three servers and they are at different levels of development:

1/ PL - 1962 overall trained

2/ EU - 5162 overall trained

3/ Global - 721 overall trained

Based on this data, we can estimate the increase in Euro costs in basic training. Of course, I assume that the cost of training on each server is equal.

So let's start with Global. 721 overall training makes the training cost 226,695 euros per click (without cost reduction). Let's divide this value by overall - 314.41 euros - this is how much the value of a single training increases with training 1 overall.

Then PL - 1962 overall trained and the cost of one training was 673,410 euros. Let's also divide these values: 343.22 euros.

And finally, the strongest account - EU. 5162 overall training gives the cost of one training at the level of 1,827,750 euros. Finally dividing the values ​​for the strongest account we have 354.07 euros.

We see comparable values. Therefore, initial training is cheaper and the value of training in euros does not increase linearly. However, this may be due to the fact that initially training is disproportionately lower (up to 100 in each skill). However, the forecast for the increase in training costs can be estimated based on my accounts on PL and EU, as on both of them all skills have long exceeded 100. 

Therefore, I present to you the forecast of the costs of doing 50% and 33% depending on the base trained overall (at the moment 33% is 3550 trainings and 50% is 7100 trainings)

1/ 1000 overall - the cost of one training session is approximately EUR 335,000 - 3,550 training sessions cost EUR 1,190,970,089. Let's remember that we can train with an 80% discount, so the cost of doing 33% is EUR 238,194,017 - I can't resist that the calculations were expensive. 50% costs approximately EUR 476 million with an 80% discount.

2/ 2000 overall - the cost of one training is approximately 702,000 - 3,550 training costs EUR 2,492,733,857. With a -80% discount, the cost is EUR 498.5 million, and the cost of making 50% is almost one million.

But with an account on the PL server at the level of 1962 overall (close to 2000), I did 3,600 training today and their cost was PLN 290 million - I trained everything using an assistant, without the Training Center. According to the value of a single training session (673,410 euros), I should pay 2,424,276,000 for 3,600 training sessions. From this 80% discount - 484 million euros. It seems that the system is calculating these percentages incorrectly. Where does the difference come from? Well, that's because I have +100% XP in training with the assistant. Which means that to do 3,600 workouts I had to pay for 1,800. Let's do the math: 1,800 x 673,410 euros = 1,212,138,000 euros -80% = 242,427,600 euros. Everything is correct (I did 2880 training sessions with a -80% bonus, 720 with a -50% bonus). So let's get back to the calculations.

3/ 3000 overall - the cost of one training is about 1,053,000 euros, so doing 33% costs us 3,738,150,000 -80% = 747,630,000 euros. However, with a +100% bonus to XP, this value decreases by half, and with an XP bonus, e.g. 400%, we actually have to pay for 3550 clicks for 888 clicks, i.e. the cost is 935,064,000 -80% = 187,012,800. Similarly, the cost of making 50% will be 1,495,260,000 without the XP bonus, but with the 400% bonus it will be only 373,815,000. Neatly thought out.

Continuing with more overall levels doesn't make sense at this point. Today's analysis means that in a week you will receive full tables of training costs depending on the level of training, training cost discount and XP bonus.

FOOTBALL TEAM GANGSTER PROFILES #3: ANDRZEJ KULA

The individuals presented below are as real as they come. Some situations have been exaggerated or caricatured, and this article is intended to be a parody of the depicted characters. Before attempting to replicate any illegal actions described below, consult with an Admin or pharmacist.

Andrzej Kborodo, known by the nickname Andrzej Kula (similarity to actual names is coincidental or not), is widely known in the FT world as Kłamżej ("Liar-drej") due to his tendency to lie, even when it’s unnecessary. I wouldn’t recommend asking him about the time, the weather, or anything else. Kłamżej’s activities are deeply rooted in FT structures. Unlike previously mentioned individuals who adhered to moral principles to a greater or lesser extent, Andrzej recognizes no such limitations.

Polish Server:

On the Polish server, Andrzej is known for leading a disorganized criminal group consisting mainly of minors under the name Bella Ciao. He aimed for mastery in everything he touched, and when lacking skills, he compensated with the "cunning" of his people. He placed his followers everywhere possible (magazine, testers, moderators, academy managers), allowing him to possess a wealth of information before it reached regular players (something he often bragged about). Some of his "subordinates" still hold the aforementioned positions.

Rivalry with DS:

When Dream State first appeared in SL and lost the competition for the TOP5 in the season’s final match, Andrzej decided to make an agreement with them. According to this agreement, both teams would not poach each other's players. It was a clever plan because his subordinates handled the poaching of players from DS, leaving Andrzej with clean hands. Unfortunately, the rivalry didn’t go as he had hoped. Andrzej always envied Dream State's more active and larger Discord community and the fact that they had more than twice the number of teams playing under the DS banner.

At one point, Andrzej managed to take over the entire DS IV team, though DS was trying to get rid of this team and reclaim the "IV" number for another squad. Under his leadership, the team survived only one season before dissolving. Also, the BC 2 team appeared and disappeared more frequently than bottles of alcohol at Byk's place. The whole rivalry ended with a merger with Trzciana and the brief formation of WKS. However, the "merger" did not go as Andrzej had planned. Its execution was known even before Andrzej presented the plan to the other team involved.

After this debacle, Andrzej pretended to withdraw from the game, but his cunning plan to hide under another account was exposed faster than Pjoter’s attempts to hide.

English Server:

When Andrzej’s far-reaching plans on the PL server completely failed and WKS, short-lived as it was, had to seek a merger with TA (which only hurt TA more than it helped), Andrzej retreated to the EU server. Unfortunately, after some time, his nemesis, Dream State, caught up with him there too. In the first season of play on the EU server, DS defeated Bella Ciao twice, which led to Andrzej leaving the team. However, the DS project on the EU server also didn’t succeed, which rejuvenated Andrzej. Will he return with new ambitions after the server merge? Will he team up with Tsubasa? We will all find out soon!

Collaboration with Other Gangsters:

Andrzej enjoyed forming various alliances and extracting as many benefits from them as possible. His famous alliance with Penny is remembered by everyone who played during that period. The conversations they had, determining a new name for Piotrek and the details about where and what Piotrek could write, were a goldmine of laughter. Especially amusing were the explanations when everything came to light. Andrzej lost a lot of respect from TA, whose favor he had been courting. Unfortunately, when Penny's overall was no longer high, Andrzej abandoned him without hesitation because "the numbers have to match."

Andrzej is one of the most ruthless gangsters in the FT world. He would always be three steps ahead of his rivals if not for his inability to tie his shoelaces, over which he frequently trips. His "left-hand men" in BC are leading representatives of flat-earthers, with whom it is difficult to engage in debate. Currently, he continues his career globally. It was hard to choose which of Andrzej’s blunders to describe because he has much in common with Byk, who can deliver a ton of hilarious situations every day.

Thank you in advance for reading my article! If you enjoy this kind of topic or have an idea about what I could write next, feel free to leave your suggestion in the comments.
