You agreed with Dan's suggestion about the XI to field..

For the record, Da Bull was fouled just before our first goal, let's be
nice to the Finnish FA and say that the ref played advantage.

Also, I have often wondered about what the wingers do in our 3-4-3
setup. They hardly ever touch the ball, and when they do it's pretty inconsequential. But in the last couple of weeks I've noticed some
pretty impressive long-range passes by Tsymbalar. Almost as if he's our
most expensive player...

Also 2, shout out to the Big Mazza.

New choice

What do you want to do about RoPS's offer for Vanhala?

A. Accept

M. Ask for more

R. Reject

O noble and patient gamemaster, could you remind us which prices Dan
(and the others) look at when deciding their lineup?

Are they the ones in the sorted list below:

or the ones that appear in the screenshots posted after the match? In
other words, is Vanhala worth 250K or 170K in Dan's eyes when he offers
the lineup? (Maybe you should add this to the game's FAQs, since it is a frequently asked question)

250K.

The reasoning is that Dan & co. consider the true value of a player,
which is reflected by the latter's original price.

Thank you for your exhaustive explanations, o wise one. We have another question: does Dan prefer:

a) Yeremenko, 200K (even if the LW position is already taken, so maybe
as third forward in 3-4-3?)
b) Sorvisto 180K (in a 3-5-2 formation)
c) Adlane 180K (in a 3-4-3 formation)

All Staff members prefer to use on-position players*, so if the LW
position is taken, Dan would consider Yeremenko only for a position for
which no player is a natural. E.g., Dan would prefer a 30K RW to
Yeremenko.

Between players of the same value (i.e., original price), the
tie-breaker is Avg+-. So right now Dan would prefer Sorvisto (+0.38) to Adlane (+0.29). But if you play Sorvisto and lose 1-5 (so Sorvisto's
Avg+- goes down to 0.28), Dan would prefer Adlane for the next match.

Have I satisfied your infinite curiosity, o sagest among the sages?

Yes, you have. No more need to pander, fortunately.

In light of the above, I would tell ROPS than Vanhala's price is 20M,
not a penny less (maybe Weah will be back on the market when we return
to action). You decide whether that is a Reject or an Ask for More.
