My confidence is sky high. It's because I already know that I'm awesome.

It could be higher, though. nmillar earning more than me is a real confidence breaker.

Not tricky if you play with a rating of 6-6 on your last two games! I had a lousy 5-5 *sobs*

Actually, you could draw even with that evil goal keeper of ours quite 'easy' as AMC!
You get 500€ Goal prize and Assist prize and thus a single goal and your assistance on one would get you even with nmillar. You just got to show a bit more... action! See it as incentive *grins evil and teases*

What would changing the happiness status affect? I tried to look in the wiki, but didn't find anything.

I'm considering changing it to either "unhappy with current contract" or "thinks the club is too small for his abilities", to reflect that Mr. Solberg is an arrogant dick.

As far as I know, you might hurt poor KneeTheCap's feelings, but that's about it.

Talking about yourself in third person? ^^

*grins*
A final mention on players' personalities. There are two types: You can either be a "Nice guy" or an "Arrogant" person. This will have a small influence in direct interactions. If you're interacting with a "Nice guy" player, your positive interactions will get a small bonus. However if you're interacting with an arrogant player, positive interactions will be a little less effective and negative interactions will also be a little more negative.

Hmm...? The one who has already said that he'll be leaving the club after the season? I somehow think I would still be able to sleep at night... (it is now 9 AM, and I have not slept at night)

Seems pretty arrogant and dickish, no? ;)

Only the player, not the manager though :p

Contract Length - 2 year(s)
I predict a reduction of wage and some horrible nightmares as result! ;p

No. The only player with whom I decreased relationship points was Juha because he's departing at the end of this season. In fact, I actually took those points and sread them amongst the rest of the team.

However, I logged in this morning to find that my relationships with everyone had been reduced. The only reason that I can see for this is that I chose 'Stay Alone' for Sundays and 'Socialize' for the rest of the week. Supposedly, the stay alone option helps to keep confidence high. However, if it's doing so at the cost or previously invested relationship points, I'm going to simply socialize the entire week and look for other ways to keep confidence up.

That is indeed the reason for your problem. While set to 'Stay Alone', you do not gain any Interaction Points and thus any amount of Relation Points percent is still resulting in zero.
That's exactly why I'm trying to avoid it, though I'm not sure if I'm going to manage.

The 'easiest' way to keep a high Confidence value is to perform well during a match and to predict that. The better you manage to predict a positive result (6-10), the higher your confidence boost. Unfortunately, I am sooooo average that I always perform a solid 5 and thus never get a boost (hints and tips welcome! ;))

The other (preferred over 'Stay Alone') way to influence your Confidence is through interaction (Interviews/direct interaction). I'm hoping to get another round of 'Wish him luck' boosts from my marvellous team before the first match in the new season *puppy eyes*. The problem here is (according to the Help forum), that your 'Friendship' value determines the effect.

I believe we can do that once every seven days. If that's the case, you'll another from me prior to our first game (which I believe Knee said would be next Monday).

New season starts on monday, our league games are at sundays :)

So our first game in the new division is next Sunday, then?

I guess we'll find out tomorrow.

Are we going to play in the Cup as well?

Yes
