damn losing pints fast just lost 5 points in the last 2 hours

still have the lead for Israel with 249 so for now i am good

Well, I am looking at the world leader, who is currently Raoul (35932) from French V.182. He gets 209 points for having a team of 18-yo players (actually 378 when you combine 19-yo and younger etc.). I have a total of 204 points, which gives me the lead in Suomi. :-)

That's an achievement I'll never get, but...
I had hoped to get at least a point or 2 for having 10 players over 40 years old, and a couple that are 50... sad face.

Yeah, young guns achievement is pretty impossible to have for teams that compete at highest levels. Browsing through achievements, you can clearly see what BBs want us to do the most based on point distribution:

- you get points for young players only, so BBs don't encourage buying older players
- you get a lot of points for being active in the forums and maybe this will increase the forum population
- Supporter package. If you buy a supporter not only for yourself, but also for a friend, you get 10 points

So like Wolph said, if BB will get more supporterts beacuse of this feature, it's a win-win situation from which all of us will benefit.

I will post it here as well (posted in Help forum already), just to receive more answers :)

Before posting it to Bugs forum, I would like to clarify.

One of achievements:
Next achievement: Day Trader (7 days) | Level 2 | 4574 Teams Awarded.
"Sold a player for a profit less than 7 days after purchasing him."

As I know it is impossible to do that. You can put a player to the market 4 days after purchasing. +3 days in the market. Final result - more than 7 days.
Any other thoughts?

Just to confirm my thought (8871708). I bought him in the offseason very cheap. After that I sold him for the profit, as I did not need him. Put him to the market as soon as it was possible, after 4 days. So final result - he was sold 7 days after purchasing. And I still do not have this achievement. So how is it possible to get one?

It is possible to sell a player less than after 7 days just if you drafted him. But in this case, it does not meet the "after purchasing" part.

Do I have to post it to bugs forum, or you guys see anyway it is possible after implementing "4 days" rule?

I got that Level 2 Day Trader achievement from a couple of quick player transfers back in July 2009 before the transfer rule adjustments. I made a whopping $11k profit! (Don't laugh. With that much cash I was able to buy 44,000 gum balls. The big kind.) Your observation is very keen regarding the difficulty of newer managers to get that Level 2 Achievement.

I think there should an Achievement for watching a Live Game wearing only your socks. It takes a serious manager to do that. I'm personally still working up the courage to pull that one off, but I just can't get myself to remove my hat.

It's like a game of darts, where all the numbers around the outside are 1-20, but instead of the middle being worth 25 and 50, they are worth 250 and 500. The proportion doesn't make sense. To aim for 1-20 becomes useless.

I just noticed that I got 5 points for my arena, 20 points for flags, 86 points for posts.... and lousy stinking 2 points for having a perfect season!!! Come on! 22-0 is not easy to do! That should be worth at least 3 points!

I just want to say tho things:

1) achievements should be free for not supporters during a period of time, so a manager with many points (who knows, a manager who discover of being the first of his nation) would pay the supporter package to continue using achievements

2) anybody knows the time of update of achievements? every how many days does it happen?
