New choice
==========
Who do you agree with?
A. Aggie the Agnostic: "Do. Not. Touch. Anything."
B. Ben the Basic: "Make an offer to FinnPa for Jari Hudd: nominally a
right back, but generally a good defender, with his
tackling>speed>passing skills. He's worth 350K."
D. Dan the Dazzled: "Make an offer to Brondby for Kim Daugaard. He's
worth 350K! Oh, by the way, he is a right wing good at heading>finishing>ball-control."
E. Evelyn the Evaluator: "I'll give you the complete skill report of a
player (in your squad, or on the market) of your choice. You'll have to
skip the next market round (in addition to the current one), though.
Then you'll be given the chance to put that player on the market (if in
your squad) or to make an offer for him (if he is on the market now)."
F. Fred the Frugal: "You will never not play Tsymbalar. Put Jussi
Viljanen on the market!" (Will the Watcher: "...He adds literally
nothing to the team!"
H. Helen the Healer: "I'll reduce Vanhala's injury by 1 match. You skip
the next 2 market rounds (in addition to the current one), though. Or
I'll heal Halonen, and you'll skip just the next round (in addition to
the current one)."
M. Marika the Marketer: "I'll give an additional 403,474 pounds (20% of
your budget at the beginning of the season). You'll have to skip the
next 3 market rounds (in addition to the current one), though."
N. Noah the Netter: "OK, Da Bull this and Da Bull that, but we can get
better forwards! Make an offer to FSW Zwickau for Jacek Mencel. An
attacker (of course) worth 300K. Skills: finishing(!)>heading>shot-power."
P. Pat the Paranoid: "What madman keeps only two central defenders in
his squad?! Make an offer to VPS for Harri Kevari. For just 110K, you
will get a player competent at heading>tackling>shot-power."
S. Scott the Scout: "Halonen is overvalued by the market. Unload him! [=
give him a free transfer]"
T. Trish the Trainer: "I'll improve a player of your choice by 1 point
out of 7 (if goalkeeping: out of 47, and that will make his price
higher) in a skill of your choice. You'll skip the next 3 or 4 (random
choice; if goalkeeping, 3) market rounds (in addition to the current
one), though."
If you agree about getting a report or heal a player, you have to
specify which player. If you agree about improving a player's skill, you
have to specify both the player and the skill. A different subject (i.e.
player or player's skill) count as a different vote: e.g. two votes for
getting the report of player A and two votes for getting the report of
player B lose against three votes for Aggie.
If you agree about making an offer for a player, you can specify the
starting sum, the max sum, and whether you want to use one or two
players of yours (whether they are on the market or not) to replace the
amount of money equivalent to their current price. Likewise, if you
agree about putting a player on the market, you can specify the min sum
you're willing to accept for selling him. Different details (i.e. sums
of money, or players to offer) do _not_ count as different votes: e.g.
two votes for making a starting offer of 100K for player A and two votes
for making a starting offer of 1000K for player B beat three votes for
Aggie.
Consider that if you put a player on the market, you won't be given the
chance to take him off it.
Also, you supposedly can't buy more than 5 players in a season; and you
can't sell more than 5 players in a season. So far you bought 2 players,
and sold 0, plus 0 in exchange for players you bought.

About the game
--------------
You can join the game at any time. Majority chooses (computed when the
next choice is set up, something that happens at least 23 hours after
the choice is posted).
This is a career in Sensible World of Soccer 96/97, a videogame. Prices
are in pound sterlings.
Here are the only (as far as I know) variables in SWOS that matter to you:
- Match: each player acts according to the team's formation [1], to his
value in each skill [2], and to his natural position [3] (and to home advantage?). By default you know each player's 1st 2nd and 3rd best
skills, and his price, that is correlated to the sum of the value of all
his skills [4] (also, if you play a player in position his price could
go up; if you don't play him, or play him off position, his price could
go down; his skill values don't change, though).
- Suspensions and injuries
- Bank:

Each week Gate receipts* General running costs**

* Proportional to results
** Proportional to players' prices
You can buy and sell players all season long. Other teams always play
with the same XI and don't exchange players with each other.
[1] List of default formations:
4-4-2 = 4-1-3-2
5-4-1 = 5-1-3-1
4-5-1 = 4-1-4-1
5-3-2 = 3-2-3-2
3-5-2 = 3-2-3-2
4-3-3
4-2-4 = 4-2-3-1
3-4-3 = 3-1-3-3
4-4-2s = S-3-1-3-1 (AKA sweep)
5-2-3
3-2-5 = 3-2-3-2 (AKA attack)
6-3-1 = 6-2-1-1 (AKA defend)
All with RB and LB, and (the only exception being "defend") RW and LW
(as forwards if there are just 2 midfielders, otherwise as midfielders).
[2] List of skills: ball control, finishing inside the penalty box,
heading, passing, speed, tackling, shot velocity from outside the
penalty box. A player's value in each of these skills can be 0 to 7. Goalkeepers only have a goalkeeping skill that can be 0 to 48; only
goalkeepers have this skill.
